Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
This week we are staying warm and cozy with L.L. Bean's luscious site! There are beautiful textures, colors, plaids and fleece that will definitely inspire your creative juices. I will be getting up early to see what you've created and may even include one of your designs on my Ongoing Inspiration Genius Award Board (here) at some point during the week - so enjoy!
Challenge Goals:
Please don't be tempted to upload a card that you have made prior to this challenge, just because an image on the board reminds you of it. :cool: Rather, take the challenge of allowing your creative juices to flow based on your impressions when you look through the images. Remember, it can just be the color palette or style that ignites your creativity. Whatever draws you to the designs, take the challenge of doing something uniquely inspired today.
Please remember that all inspiration links should be inspired by images from the L.L. Bean website.
Use the keyword: IC518 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.
For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 of my favorites! 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. Don't forget to let us know which photo served as your inspiration piece please.
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.
Another awesome challenge! Thank you, Audrie!! I have several more masculine cards to make, so I will probably go back later today for another look. Here is my first:

Thanks Audrey. Here's my card. A couple years ago I discovered LLBean and sure am happy. I get all the shirts for DH there now because they have wonderful TALL shirts.

Ah, mine is so simple you'd never believe how long this took... and how many times I looked through that site...
(but, I got some Christmas gift ideas percolating...) :mrgreen:
Audrie- such a wonderful site, I love LL Bean! I went with the inspiration provided by the Christmas Wreaths and used a Cuttlebug embossed/die cut wreath combo. I went with a antique/distressed faux wood card, adding some scalloped vertical edging, with red and white washi tape. Finished with my sentiment, and a tri color set of bows. Here's Holiday Wreath
