IC718{9/7/19} Piper Classics
 

Good Saturday Morning! Welcome to September & the Inspiration Challenge!

Before we get started, just let me say "Happy Birthday, Pop!" Sept 7th is my dad's birthday & originally I wanted to go w/ a birthday site, but there are just too many! I still have a picture in my head of Pop in the 70's wearing bell bottom pants & white shoes. He was absolutely the coolest dad anyone knew back then! He's mostly into Hawaiian shirts & cowboy boots or really bright t-shirts now, but he's still very cool!

So on to the challenge... this week's challenge is brought to you by Piper Classics! Like my dad, they have a lot of cool stuff & plenty of inspiration! Get comfy & head on over. Please be sure to link us up to what inspired you.

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, & since some sites have limited viewing areas, I've uploaded MANY images to help inspire you. 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.

**Please note: If you are unable to view the Inspiration Site in your country, please use one of the pictures provided for you (thumbnails below). Unfortunately, we have no control over the sites' viewing areas. **

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.

NEED HELP GETTING A LINK TO YOUR INSPIRATION PICTURE?

If you are unable to grab the link of your chosen picture, (on some sites, you can't, it only gives a link to the whole collection), hover over the picture in the collection that you want to link to. On a windows machine, right click the picture (on a Mac, 2 finger click). When the options come up, select COPY IMAGE ADDRESS. This link will be for that picture.

What an amazing inspirational site! I so love THIS bouquet for this time of year. It has special meaning to me- my Mom was a master gardener, and so loved flowers (excuse me while I sneeze!!!).

HERE is the card I created.

I had started a card for this fun challenge but put my back out and spent the rest of the day in a lot of pain. I want to finish the card but it will probably be next week before I can... I hope!

Happy Birthday Pop! (My bday is the 6th) :) Great pick!!

Thanks!

I am playing challenge catch-up after my long hiatus away for numerous reasons. I found this inspiration: Floral Abigail Vinyl Floor Cloths - Piper Classics to help with making this card while I was in California. It was the perfect colors for a fall card. Here is my card: A Cardmaking Birthday Buddy to Celebrate!
