Arrow IC200 ~ Kir DeVries {10-03-09}

Inspiration Challenge 200 ~ Kir DeVries

How exciting to have reached the 200th Inspiration Challenge. To celebrate this milestone, and World Cardmaking Day, next Friday before I post next week’s challenge, I will be randomly selecting several participants in this week’s Inspiration Challenge to send them some stamping goodies.

Founder and Creative Director Kristen Becker describes Kir DeVries this way ~ “I believe that everything you own should bring more joy and inspiration to your everyday life. At Kir DeVries you will find uplifting, practical and inspired goods for everyday living! We work with ethical and eco-friendly companies and small designers in a close knit community to bring you the highest quality and most refreshing design and new ideas for everyday living.” I fell in love with so many fun items.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, remember to link us up to the item from Kir DeVries that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC200 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Elephant Friends

IC200 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.

Wow! The 200th Inspiration Challenge falls on World Card Making Day! Pretty cool!!!

Another great choice from which to draw some inspiration, Stef. I chose these aprons -- http://www.shopkirdevries.com/revers...bluebrown.html -- as my inspiration, using the colors and patterns. Here is my card -- Hostess Apron Inspired.

Been baking all morning for my FIL's 90th birthday celebration, and in half an hour we're heading out - so time for a quick browse to get some inspiration I can mull over while we're out.
