Inspiration Challenge 169 ~ Room Service Home

This week�s inspiration comes from Room Service Home, an on-line retailer offering designer inspired merchandise with a modern flair. One of their favorite quotes is, �The quality of the now is the single most powerful determinant to the quality of the dream.� What a great thought.

For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many choices, I have uploaded three of my favorites from the website � so just stick with one (or all) of those for your inspiration. For the rest of you, feel free to use anything from the website for your inspiration � just provide a link, so we can all see what inspired you.

Use the keyword: IC169 (no spaces or extra characters) when you upload your card, and make sure you put commas between your key words.

My sample ~ Beach Bag Monogram inspired by Monogrammed Ribbon Bag

IC169 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. 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.

Omygosh - fabulous bedding ... I didn't get past there ... I had to go with my namesake, the Newport Bella Notte "Collette" duvet cover. ... Man o man did I want some of these sheets and blankets ... thank goodness for me, they were out of stock of the ones I wanted.
