IC236 ~ Roses and Teacups! {06-12-10}
 

Hi All!

Thanks so much to Stephanie for letting me host on her behalf this weekend! She will be back again next week!

This week's Inspiration Challenge website is Roses and Teacups! This gorgeous web store features Victorian inspiration with mainly roses and/or a teacups theme! The owner's state that as much as possible, they choose to sell items made in the USA by women and families in cottage industries and small businesses.

I hope you enjoy your journey through this beautiful and unique website! Let the themes or color schemes throughout inspire you to create!! Important -- Much of the items on the website are handmade, one-of-a-kind. Please remember that if you are inspired by any of these handmade pieces, do not use print-outs of the art in your creation or directly copy their work.

Remember to include a link to the page or item that inspired you from the website. I've included a few of the favs I came across, but feel free to browse and find what inspires your creativity!

Use the keyword: IC236 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ My Outrageous Hat Card!

Quick Link to IC236 Gallery

How to Play ~ View the attached images and/or browse the suggested website. Get your inspiration from the colors, layout, style or 'theme'. Just enjoy wherever your inspired creative journey takes you. 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 on -- 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.

Thanks for looking.

Anne, I can't stop looking long enough to choose one inspiration and start creating!! Wow, this stuff is all gorgeous. I have a secret love of Victorian ever since one of my sisters had a Victorian style wedding. I guess I'll have to restrain myself long enough to make a choice and start stamping. I'll be back later.......
