Good Saturday Morning & welcome to the Inspiration Challenge! It's my pleasure to be your hostess today. December is here & the holidays are upon us!
This week's challenge is brought to you by JRL Interiors!They have some lovely pictures & beautiful displays. They also have a pretty awesome Pinterest Board. So head on over to their site or Pinterest Board, pick your favorite & go create! Please be sure to link us up to what inspired you. IC783 Gallery
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 visit theirPinterest Boardor 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.
You picked a great site. I didn't get far though. Once I saw the cardinal in the tree, I was off to make a card! LOL Here's my card.

What I should be doing is addressing envelopes to MAIL my Christmas cards instead today's inspiration site sucked me in and got me to make another card - this one was quick & easy to do . . . .
I could not open the website (McAfee said no way!) on my computer so I used my phone and saved pictures to my Pinterest board 'good stuph'. Nice inspiration; part of me feels that it's a little luxurious during this time to think about building a fancy home or decorating it but she has a nice sense of humor and doesn't seem pretentious. And she has to make a living too. I made three projects:

Julie- great site! Inspired by the first thing I clicked- the blog for the 3 easy tips for a beautiful holiday wreath- I used some cute tree lights, adding a "electric cord" between the light bulbs. Had a cool Christmas tree ornament with a die cut- used a green sparkle background- and mounted it on a red background. Added some sparkle with metallic snowflakes and drew a holiday wreath around the red panel. Finished with a cardboard sentiment border. Here's Wonderful Tree

I happened upon this picture and was inspired by the family room with coral, tans, and soft greens: Coral Hues Family Room! (12th picture down...family room with coral couches). Here is a direct link to that picture: Coral Hues Family Room!
