Arrow IC172 ~ Little Daisy Designs {03-21-09}

Inspiration Challenge 172 ~ Little Daisy Designs

This week’s inspiration comes from a fabulous Etsy store called Little Daisy Designs, where she makes sweet clothing for your little sweetie. I love her fun color and pattern combinations, as well as her great photos.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites from the website… so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from Little Daisy Designs for your inspiration … just provide a link, so we can all see what inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC172 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Wild Fruit

IC172 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.

I'm not quite done with my card, but my son made a card tonight at Stamp Camp that went great with the inspiration piece. He called it...My Camp Florals. I hope you take a peek, thank you!

I took a little inspiration from each of them, but especially the colors and the mix of patterns.

Made a second card. Not one of my best by far, but it was fun to do and kept a little more literal with the inspiration.

Here is my card:

Here si my inspiration:

I KNOW I'm pushing it...but oh well..........you can almost smell the dirt it's getting so warm. HA HA
