Inspiration Challenge 279 ~ Cox & Cox

This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge was suggested by Beate.

Cox & Cox embraces the heartfelt philosophy that it is possible to create a home that is both beautiful and practical, offering a fresh escape from the norm. The product range has influences from all over the globe and takes inspiration from childhood memories, but often with a contemporary twist.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I�ve uploaded five of my favorites � so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. The rest of you, remember to let us know which item from Cox & Cox that inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC279 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Beate�s sample ~ Weathered Wood Inspired

My sample ~ Graffiti Birthday

IC279 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 have to work tomorrow but hopefully I will be able to play.

I do have to mention; that though i don't get to play along much, the Inspiration Challenge is starting to get expense. If I could make one card for everything I buy at these sites, I could start a card store!!! LOL

Though I won't be making a card of the item under the link, it will certainly look fabulous in my kitchen as soon as it arrives.

So I haven't done a challenge in a few months, but I'm very glad this was the one I decided to come back on.

I took more inspiration from the actual photo than I did the product, hope that's allowed lol!

Here's my card; the address to my inspiration is in the photo details...
