Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Happy Saturday and welcome to the Inspiration Challenge. I hope you like china, porcelain, and stoneware. We are visiting Replacements, LTD. I love dishes and have too many. You will find so much inspiration here and probably find some of your dinnerware here. I recommend you do a search at the top for themes, such as birds, fish, stars, holidays, flowers, trees etc. and you will be set to create. I expect you can search for colors, also.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 (or more) of my favorite designs! So just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. Click on the images below to see them bigger and to get their links on SCS.
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 ~ 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 us on this inspiration journey.

Brenda, thank you so much for the beautiful inspirational place! I nearly cried (lol) because I have the exact Charlie Brown stamp to one of the plates!! Couldn't find it, so I went with the second one ........
Fun memories - I even found some of the dinner set we bought when we got engaged / married - still kept for special meals! It was very 70s but does work with plain white so not a terrible choice. I saved some of my student grant and bought the Hornsea dinnerware in a sale in Watford - my two friends helped me carry it home to our lodgings! Seen something on the site to work on later!!!

What a fun site and I even found the China I bought while living in Japan back in the mid 60's !! Almost used that as my inspiration but then ran across even older memories of the beautiful porcelain baskets of flowers many people had WAY back when . . .

It was so fun to look through this site- I was inspired by the peach roses saucer by Royal Albert- and did my first paper piecing quilt block, using 2 rose fabrics I had leftover from a quilt project. Here's my rose quilt block
