IC114 - Bedding [9-Feb-08]
Inspiration Challenge 114 - Bedding IC114
Ann (aka amf1066) sent me this a long time ago. I really love the awesome color scheme and the soft fuzzy look of the bedding - of course, it could just be the idea of sleeping on the beach ;) This bedding can be found at Soft Surroundings.
Make sure you use the keyword: IC114 (no spaces or extra characters)
My Sample -> Butterfly Birthday
View IC114 Gallery
Now, for an announcement. I am stepping down as your hostess for the IC. I seemed to have overwhelmed my life and until this school year is up, I need to drop a few of my 'fun' things. I want to thank you ALL for being the bestest players!
So, I suppose you'd like to know who will be your hostess now? Well, I tell ya, this woman is always giving me some great ideas and I just knew she'd make a great hostess! Please give a warm welcome to Stephanie (aka SmilynStef) - she will be your IC hostess starting next week.
How to Play View the attached image. You may be inspired to recreate the piece - but that isn't necessary...get your inspiration from the colors, layout, or 'theme'. Don't worry - no card is 'wrong'! 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). Thank you.

Oh, Karen, I just went back and read your post. We will certainly miss all your ideas, but yeah, I understand how sometimes life can get overwhelming. I hope you will still participate.
Welcome, Stephanie!
Now, I need to go do 3 weeks of IC. I'm bad, yup!

Thank you Karen for faithfully hosting the IC each week for us CCers. While I find this challenge to be the most difficult, I keep playing because it is also the most rewarding and is such a teaching tool. You have truly brought us some amazing pieces to be inspired by! I hope you are still able to find the time to visit us here at SCS by posting your wonderful artistry, and writing a quick "hello" from time to time. Again, thank you!
Now I'm off to play, although I find the background scenery more inspiring than the main piece. I suppose that's not intended to be the focus correct? hehe.

Well, Karen, it's a good thing that I get to 'do lunch' with ya or I'd be so very sad about now even though I knew it was coming!! ;)
This is one of my favorite SCS challenges, and you've done a terrific job choosing and providing inspiration pieces----thanks so much!

Karen, I have only been doing these challenges a short time and am very sorry you are not going to be the hostess with the mostess any more. You have such inspiring ideas. I pray that this time off will take some of the pressure off, but please keep checking in. God bless.
Welcome Stephanie. Thank you for being willing to take on this challenge. I look forward to seeing what fun and interesting challenges you offer each week.

Bummer Karen! But totally understandable....it's so hard to live both lives....your REAL one and your SCS one! LOL! I am sad to see you go but I also admire you for being where you need to be at this time. Thanks so much for all the great Saturdays. You made a great choice as a replacement for you.
Congrats Stephanie...looking forward to you taking over for us! Welcome!
