I love inspiration challenges. That’s why I will start posting an image every Tuesday. I hope it will get your creative juices flowing.

Be inspired by the shapes, the colors….whatever you like. If you decide to participate in the challenge, please link your card to this thread.

I made my sketch sample card to match this gift card.

Lucas is invited to his friends birthday party today.

Lately we have been only giving gift cards as presents.

It’s hard to find the right gift for boys this age. Usually they want video games that are $50 to $60 each. I can’t see myself spending that on a gift for a friend from school. So we give gift cards. (Can you believe this was the most boyish gift card my Walmart carried? That’s so not right!)

Anyway….if you want to play, make a card inspired by this gift card. You can choose just the color combo, maybe the way the grass looks….anything at all that inspires you from this gift card. Make a card, upload it online and add a link to this post so we can check it out. If you upload it on SCS, please add BIC2 in the keyword section.

Have fun with it.  I will post my sample after I post the sketch challenge at 8:30 a.m.Hugs and smiles

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I had a great time with my kids, but again, I got no stamping done.

I went to see P.S., I love you with my neighbor and Rebecca. I thought it would be a great girls movie. It is, but not for 8 year old girls. I kept on covering Rebecca’s ears and eyes. LOL After the movie she said it was a grown up movie.

I loved the movie, even though I kept wiping tears away. It is a beautiful film. PLUS, it’s a Gerard Butler movie. I see every movie he is in. Gorgeous actor with delicious accent! What more can you ask for????

Yesterday Rebecca and I went out to eat to P.F. Chang! We love the restaurant. The boys don’t like it. So we had another girls trip. After the lunch we stopped by Office Depot. I was out of Transparencies. I saw this notebook and had to pick it up. It’s so pretty.

So I thought I challenge you again. I don’t know how often I will post my inspiration challenge. I will post when I find something that I think has to be translated in a card.

Are you up for it? This is just for fun. If you want to play, make a card and use this notepad as inspiration. You can just use the color combination, use the layout….whatever you like. Add a link to the comment section to this post. If you upload to SCS, use BIC1 as a keyword.

My washing, cleaning and baking is done! Wohoo! Stamping time!
