IC328 ~ Johnny Tapete -- Original Vintage Wallpaper {03-17-12}

[Itsapassion]

Hi Everyone!

The web store for the Inspiration Challenge this week is "Johnny Tapete". "Johnny Tapete" is a German-based web store that specializes in vintage wall paper that is no longer in print. The patterns are dated from the 1950s to 1980s. In addition to vintage wallpaper, they carry original carpets, home d�cor items and fashion accessories from the same time period! Lots of great nostalgic inspiration throughout this website!

Surfing Tip: The website can be viewed in English or German - click on the little British flag located on the upper right-hand corner of any of the pages to see the English translation if you happen to end up with the German version.

Use keyword IC328 (no spaces or extra characters) and be sure you have commas between your key words.

If you don't have time to spend browsing the website, you'll find a few samples from the store below that you are welcome to use as your inspiration!

My Sample: CAS Memories

How to Play ~ View the attached sample images and/or browse the suggested website. Get your inspiration from the the individual items, patterns, theme or color pallets. Just enjoy wherever your inspired and creative journey takes you! Make the inspiration piece your own! Don't worry ~ no card is 'wrong'! There is no time limit on this challenge and there are no rules. Explore and enjoy ~ be *inspired* to create, have fun, and share your artwork!!

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!

I enjoyed looking at today's site. I actually think I saw some of that wall paper while house hunting a couple of years ago!!!

I was inspired by the lily wall paper seen here: Power Plant | Flower Wallpaper | Vintage Wallpaper | Johnny-Tapete
