It's been a while since I've shared my favorite inspiration boards with you. In fact, I dedicate way too much fun time to filling those boards with lots of eye candy and inspirational images. This week I'd like to invite you to be inspired by my first "Inspiration" Board on Pinterest. I have pinned a variety of photos, watercolor art, mixed media, food, clothing...you name it, it's there! So, I'm 100% sure that you'll find just the right thing to inspire your creative juices this week! 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 "Inspiration Board by Audrie". If you are unfamiliar with how to grab the hyperlinks from a Pinterest Board, here is a helpful video:
Use the keyword: IC590 (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 (since there are so many pins)! 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.
Already gorgeousness in the gallery! I'm working on getting a new router today, so I should have a photo uploaded by noon-ish pacific time. Sorry for the delay. Keep doin' what you're doing! Love it!

Audrie- loved your board! So many wonderful creations to look at! I was inspired by this softly colored drawn tulip and used it as a basis for my floral display. Added some verse for the alphabet verse challenge, and finished with a satin ribbon/rough twine/baker's twine combo. Here's Flower Bouquet

I spent hours browsing your inspiration board, Audrie . . .and pinned lots & lots to my own board . . . . The hardest part was narrowing it down to one inspirational idea. Here is my card for today:
Inspired by this lovely red and white piece from this week's Inspiration Challenge - I used a marbled horizontal border to accompany my rolling hedgie images on my tag. Simply colored, added a red metallic cord tie. Here's Rolling Hedgie Tag

What a brilliant Inspiration challenge! Audrie I loved your board so much I followed it and all your crafting boards to boot! I think our artist souls resonate to similar things. I repinned so many things from your board, I will probably be back with more of them but for now I have three (links to inspiring pins in the descriptions):
