This week has been so busy! As we switch seasons so does my schedule...and it can get nuts around here with everyone trying to complete projects before the holidays! Speaking of holidays...one of my favorite things to do is to discover new ways to package up those gifts. So, it's probably not surprising to you that I find loads of inspiration in product packaging, all year long. One of my favorite websites for honorable packaging mentions is"the Dieline website" Let's all be inspired from it this week, and enjoy discovering of a wealth of gorgeous packaging. I promise, you won't be disappointed: color is optimized, texture is expanded upon, and style is reinvented by the most talented designers from around the world! I just bet you might be inspired to 'package up' something of your very own, just as I did this week!
Challenge Goals: Please don't be tempted to upload a card that you have made prior to this challenge, just because an image on the site reminds you of it - this is all about creating from an inspiration. :cool: So, please take the challenge of allowing your creative juices to flow based on the images you browse this week. Remember, it can just be the color palette or style that ignites your creativity. Whatever draws you to the designs, take the challenge of doing something uniquely inspired today.
Use the keyword: IC569(no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Thanks for the wonderful site for inspiration, Audrie. Really something for everyone. I'll probably revisit it when I'm ready for gift packaging, but right now Christmas cards are my main concern.
Wow, am I the only one who can't access the dieline site? I've clicked on Audrie's link, individual links referred to by participants in the challenge, and even typed it in but I keep getting "the web address you entered could not be found". Could their site have gone down or do I have another problem?
Audrie this was a wonderful website - I chose this one for my inspiration today: Audrie this was a wonderful website - I chose this one for my inspiration today:

Audrie- love this site! I went to the posters, and was inspired by theGreenlife Provisions orange peel hand soapwith its vintage and orange themes. I used 2 sets from last Christmas- Taylored Expressions flippin' awesome (utensils and dies) and Moka Betty- and added some circles from my "new to me" Sizzix 4 size die cut plate. Gave it some "pop" with orange dotted washi tape, red gingham ribbon and green dotted ribbon was used for a vintage feel. Here's Good Cookie This is dedicated to my late Aunt Noni who was one tough cookie!

Wow! What an amazing gallery! Sorry it took me so long to comment, but we had SharePoint Saturday in Redmond today....so that derailed my normal Saturday schedule. I've caught up though, and was AMAZED at all the beautiful creativity....Thank you all for playing along!
Try this Cindy....click on someone's link in the description which should get you to the site, then back up in the top navigation - or simply use the search box to focus on a theme, season, color, etc. Let me know if that helps at all.
Sorry about delay responding to your problem.
