[justwritedesigns]

Happy New Year & Happy Saturday! Welcome to the first Inspiration Challenge of 2019! This week's challenge is brought to you by The Spruce. You'll probably notice up at the top, there are 3 more areas you can view besides the The Spruce Home...The Spruce Eats, The Spruce Pets & The Spruce Crafts. It doesn't matter where you find your inspiration, I think there's something for everyone. If you're like me, you'll probably spend quite a bit of time there. So hurry on over, check out The Spruce pick what appeals to you & go create! Be sure to link us up to what inspired you.

Did you know, we have an Inspiration Challenge Pinterest Board ? Be sure to check it out!


For those of you who say you get overwhelmed with having too many, or too little, images to choose from, I've uploaded 5 (or more) of my favorite designs! 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.

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.

NEED HELP GETTING A LINK TO YOUR INSPIRATION PICTURE?

If you are unable to grab the link of your chosen picture, (on some sites, you can't, it only gives a link to the whole collection), hover over the picture in the collection that you want to link to. On a windows machine, right click the picture (on a Mac, 2 finger click). When the options come up, select COPY IMAGE ADDRESS. This link will be for that picture.

Great site Julie. I was able to use up a couple of flowers and a sentiment that were just sitting on my table waiting to be used. That is my goal again this year to use stuff up that is sitting on my desk.
