Hello, Angie here as your hostess this week! This week I am taking you to one of my favorite destinations when we are in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. My husband and I love to camp in the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. Before we had kids we would take 10-day vacations in the Smokey's. We would backpack and tent camp for the majority of the time then head down to Pigeon Forge and stay in a hotel and shop for several days. Awww those hotels felt luxurious after roughing it! The logistics of taking the kids out with no electricity whatsoever, bear sightings and chilly temps dampened my enthusiasm for camping so over the years our trips have evolved into short day hikes into the National Park with hotel nights and shopping in Pigeon Forge. My favorite shopping destination is where we are headed for our inspiration this week, The Incredible Christmas Place. Don't worry if you are totally OVER Christmas card making. You can take inspiration from colors and themes. My card today was taken from a theme and a pattern, it's not a Christmas card at all! I hope you enjoy the site even though it's NOTHING like being there!
If you don't care to browse the entire site or you are unable to connect to the site, I have included photos at the end of this post which you can use as inspiration for your project. 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, 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.

Playing upload & challenge catch-up here is the inspiration for my card: Poinsettia Rose Ribbon. I purposefully added Wink of Stella to my tree flowers and leaves to get a bit of sparkly, but my photo does not bring that out :-(. So the sparkle from the champagne foil will have to do!
