IC171 ~ Fitz and Floyd {03-14-09}
Inspiration Challenge 171 ~ Fitz and Floyd
This week’s inspiration site Fitz and Floyd was suggested by Eggette who thought it would be fun for some Easter card ideas … however, if you’re not in the mood for Easter, there are lots of other themes and inspiration to be found.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three different images from the website, as well as linking to the pages that inspired Eggette’s and my cards … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from Fitz and Floyd for your inspiration … just provide a link, so we can all see what inspired you.
Use the keyword: IC171 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
My sample ~ Hoppy Days inspired by Hoppy Days Platter
Eggette’s Sample ~ Easter Wishes inspired by A Good Egg Tumblers
IC171 Gallery
How to Play ~ View the attached images. You may be inspired to recreate the pieces ~ but that isn't necessary ... get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong' and there is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. There are no rules, so let your creative juices run wild ~ be *inspired* and go get stamping!
Don't forget about No Upload Sunday - Let's give the gallery moderators a day off and not upload on Sunday (unless, of course, you are a Fan Club member - yet another reason to spend a little money on your favorite site). Also, remember to link to your SCS gallery on this thread. Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.

Thanks for some major inspiration this week. So much to look at and really tough to choose! I'd pick one thing and then find another over and over. Finally settled on this cute little guy:
My inspiration: http://www.fitzandfloyd.com/product/...cookie+jar.do#
Here is my card from that inspiration!
Bon Appetit
Thanks for looking!!

Inspiration came from the colors in:
