Default IC195 ~ Creative Wall Coverings {08-28-09}

Inspiration Challenge 195 ~ Creative Wall Coverings

Hi Again!

I'm happy to be filling in for Stephanie this week -- she'll be back next week!!

The inspiration website this week is "Creative Wall Coverings"! On first glance, it looks like "just" a wallpaper store (not that there's anything wrong with that!! LOL!!), but if you poke around a bit, you'll find so many fun and creative things you can hang on your walls!! I hope these inspire you to get crafty and make a card from the inspiration found there!!

So this week, please check out the "Creative Wall Coverings" store!! For your convenience below, I've attached a few samplings from their website that you can use as inspiration, or feel free to choose anything that you find inspiring from their website!

Use the keyword: IC195 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Here are samples to get you going this weekend:

My sample (Itsapassion): Sunflower Card
Julia's (Artystamper): An Inspired Prayer
Charlene's (LilLuvsStampin): Inspired Dragonfly

>>> Link to IC195 Gallery

How to Play: Check out the inspiration website and/or images attached. Get your inspiration from the colors, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired, creative journey takes you and share it with the rest of us!! 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 on -- 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 did another one - because I noticed the sunflowers AFTER I went straight to the site and did my first one - YLM, or CINDY, sent me these wonderful sunflower images when I admired a beautiful card she made with it - and I have been waiting for the right time to use one - LOVE THIS IMAGE!!

Two cards in one night, BEDTIME!!! Goodnight every one!!
