IC648 {5/5/18} Grandinroad

[justwritedesigns]

Good Saturday Morning & welcome to the Inspiration Challenge!

Since moving, I've received a ton of home catalogs. I don't know how they find me..I can only guess they look for people w/ new addresses. I've received a few from this week's Inspiration site & I love their beautiful pictures & colorful items. This week's challenge is brought to you by Grandinroad. Head on over & prepare to be inspired! You may want to hide your credit cards, though. Be sure to link us up to what inspired you.

Here's my card Mailboxes

Did you know, we have an Inspiration Challenge Pinterest Board ?Be sure to check it out!

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.

Metal Leaves

[Crafty Julia]

Julie- great site, thanks! I have been using lots of saturated colors lately, so I was drawn to the Haley Hydrangea Wreath with bright pink flowers against a black door. I pulled out quite a few punches for my layered wreath, adding texture to my door with dry embossing. Moved the ornate keyhole plate to use as a bottom border for my card. Here's Hydrangea Wreath

[Precious Kitty]

Julie this was a great website!! I used this picture as my inspiration:
Inside my card reads: And a dress to match!

Better late than never! I was unable to stamp yesterday, so I combined the IC with FS challenge!! Thanks for a great site, Julie!!

As You Graduate

[TexasGrammy]

Yes, it's me ... trailing in a day late as usual. ;) Hey ... turtle stampers are like a good adhesive. We stick with it! ;)

I adored the inspiration website ... but it's not playing well this afternoon, and I'm taking my card and moving on anyway. I'll get the 'wall art' area to open later or tomorrow .... if possible. Until then, my little rhino is begging to get out there before another day passes on.

Be You!

Here's another card for the challenge Willow Watercolour.

[MiamiKel4]

I'm late to the party but Julie I LOVE your choice - Grandinroad is a place I could get lost in

I settled on Americana and here's my card: America the beautiful

[Isaiah40:31]

Spent way too much time exploring this amazing website - pinned dozens of ideas that will 'make great cards'. Here's what I created 'so far'... Thanks for the challenge - even though I'm 'late to the party too'.

Beautiful Kindness 4 in 1 Challenge by Isaiah40:31 at Splitcoaststampers

And my inspiration - I used the second photo for my 'sketch'.

Ledia Quilt | Grandin Road

[Chatterbox-1]

I browsed and found inspiration from the Grandinroad (what a lovely site Julie) from Arched Shutter Outdoor Wall Decor photo:https://www.grandinroad.com/arched-s...-decor/1152978 and the fourth thumbnail down on the left...with all the glorious greens and yellows.

This is my card: My Lovely Mother!

[Jay_Bee]

Not a great card but time lacking to make another!
