IC229 ~ Green Rainbow {04-24-10}

Inspiration Challenge 229 ~ Green Rainbow

Huge thanks to Anne for hosting the IC while I was exploring NYC with a blogging friend ... we had a blast, but it's good to be back sharing my Saturday with you.

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge is the online store Green Rainbow. The founders wanted to create an eco-friendly store. They carry anything from organic clothing, to natural soaps, toys, recycled jewelry, recycled glass plates, recycled paper and so much more. Their mission is that the rainbow is made up of many colors and one of them is green; by going �green� we can enjoy all colors of the rainbow.

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

Use the keyword: IC229 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Enjoy the Everyday

IC229 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. Remember, if you are inspired by the creation of another artist, please do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work. 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 made the mistake of checking out the Inspiration Challenge before I went to bed. Mistake because I then did NOT go to bed. I found this plate and created my own Ladybug Plate Inspired card.
