Happy Saturday & welcome to the Inspiration Challenge! Can you believe it's March already?? This week's challenge is brought to you by V&A Museum (aka Victoria & Albert Museum).

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, 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.

So, mine is kinda a leap... ( I still think I can make this the way I see it in my head, if I leave off the words but, the words make it funny so... I may do this again tomorrow)

Craving Some Green

[jkanack]

Super site, Julie and Polly. I've heard of this museum but never 'explored.' So who is watching Victoria this season?

[peeps321]

Jean I got the idea to use this site because of Victoria on Masterpiece I have not been to the museum but have had family who were there and brought me some goodies. They have a lot of William Morris...and I'm a huge fan. Have fun picking out an inspiration!

[SmilynStef]

At least I can have some colorful blooms in paper with my snow-covered landscape outside

I've made a second one but my creativity went a bit too far I think...

Masked Pastel Rainbow

[Crafty Julia]

Inspired by this wonderful drawing of a Rooster - I made this card with my stamping friends, using the rooster stamp for both a background (upper panel) and a central image, my panel backed with a black scalloped edge. Finished with a multi loop twine bow and sentiment combo. Here's Roosters

[JMumStamps]

Here's my first crack at this challenge. I'm not loving it, but the more I look at it, the more I like it. I was inspired by this Blue Clamp Dye scarf: Blue clamp dye scarf

the card:

[One4Joy]

Why do I have cooking and cleaning and grocery shopping looming over me today? I could happily live in the V&A museum.

Thanks for the mega Inspiration Challenge, Polly and Julie.

Time, it's certainly altered

Playing my "Challenge Catch-up" cardmaking, I found this inspiration, which inspired my ballerina and her dress colors. Valse Nobles et Sentimentales Costume Design, 1947.

Here is my card: A Little Pink Ballerina for Sienna!
