Stef...WOW! LOVED this site! Company C has some beautiful fabrics and I just love the way they use them! THank you for an awesome inspiration website!
Last year, (when I was still living in NY) Karen had told me about SCS. We had spoke early one Saturday morning and she explained to me how to look at the challenges. Back then, I used SCS for inspiration but never participated in any of the challenges.The first challenge I ever read was the Inspiration challenge. Karen told me it was one of her favs and she told me I should try it! Well, I DID do the challenge, but I did NOT upload my card! I was so embarressed. I made a 5x5 card and embossed (the same stamp I used tonight) in gold and it had a flower on it! I actually have it hanging in my craft room right behind me! It was the first card I made in a LONG time and I just didn't think it was up to par with the rest in the gallery. I've come a long way from then though (I think)....
When I saw this pillow, I thought of that stamp from Circle Circus and that card I made a long time ago! Here's the pillow I used for inspiration:

This is amazing, Jenna!! What a great composition and color scheme. Circle Circus was perfect. I love the lace AND that perfect bow. You captured your inspiration pieces perfectly!!

I like your story that you still have that card. I think all of us, when we look back, see how far we have come - but we all started somewhere . I think the inspiration challenges were the last ones I started (OK, I don't do the colour one because I am too lazy to work out non SU equivalents), I still often find them hard.
This one is a real classic beauty - I like seeing the ribbon and lace together.
