Inspiration Challenge 303 ~ Creature Comforts: Inspiration Daily

This week’s Inspiration Challenge comes from a wonderful Blog called Creature Comforts … an in particular, its Inspiration Daily Images. Creature Comforts is all about celebrating the tiny details that make life so amazing and looking to find beauty in the unexpected.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I’ve uploaded five of my favorites … so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. The rest of you, remember to let us know which blog post from Creature Comforts: Inspiration Daily that inspired you.

I have asked Emily (stampingout) to join me in making an additional inspired card sample this week.

Use the keyword: IC303 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

Stampingout’s sample ~ Vintage Hello

My sample ~ Music of the Sea

IC303 Gallery

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.

Thanks for a great challenge!

Crafty Julia · 09-24-2011, 08:49 AM

What wonderful pictures! I choose to use the gelato-popsicle picture for inspiration ( called idgelatobynaia). I have this adorable clear stamp set from I Clear - i think you are... and I made 2 circles with my CM punch (1 1/4") for the cute ice cream and popsicle shapes. I like the melon/lilac/pink scheme, so that's what I used today. The rainbow rickrack was my accent. Happy Desserts!

Stef.....everything you find is inspirational, but I think this is the most inspired I've ever been by one your sites. It was really hard to decide what to be inspired by....LOL.

Anyway.... here's my card.

Thanks once again, Stef!
