I'm very happy to be filling in for Stephanie today! I hope you enjoy this week's challenge!! (Thanks Steph!!)
This week's inspiration is a sampling of the four seasons courtesy of these Elum Pocket Journals! The Elum website features many trendy and modern designer paper products that I hope will peak your stamping and card making passion!
Below I have attached some samples from the website (including the journals), but feel free to browse the rest of the website to find other inspiring artwork to build on!
Here's my sample: Noble Deer Swirlsand here's anotheramazing one made by Bev (aka Beestamper) to get you going!!
Be sure to use the keyword: IC165 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card.
How to Play ~ View the attached images or check out the Elum website links. Get your inspiration from the colors, style, detail or even the subject, just whatever kicks your mojo into gear!! Enjoy wherever your creative journey takes you today! Make the inspiration piece your own. Don't worry ~ There are no rules and no card is 'wrong'. There is no time limit for uploading your card for the challenge. Come on and play along!!
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). Thank you for joining me on this inspiration journey.
I've been stalking you Anne!!!! finally you posted! thanks for hosting for Stef! these look like fun inspirations for us!!! Now - will I stay up or do it tomorrow morning!?!?!?

I saw that lovely autumn picture with the cute deer, and I was so disappointed that my Ocobter Afternoon set with the deer still hadn't arrived even though it was dispatched before everyone headed off to CHA.
So I had to find something else - and made this - CAS Bird on Bough
Thanks for this fun challenge. A lot of the stuff wasn't my style, which made it more of a challenge - but that's good .
What fun images. So many of them had such detail. But I went with a simple one so that I could combine this challenge with the limited supply challenge. Here is my card.
Fun - I think I did what a LOT of ladies did this morning, start one - go to another...and then another. I couldn't choose and when I didn't I couldn't make it the way I wanted...SO here is what I ended up with:
