Friday Inspiration Challenge 9

Welcome back to another day of inspiration for Challenge 9 from our Design Team. We hope you have enjoyed all of the project over the last 3 days. You still have time to get your project linked up before the voting begins on Saturday at  12 Noon Eastern time. Don't forget that the winner of  Challenge 9 not only receives a People's Choice Award button, they will also receive a $10 gift certificate to Papertrey Ink!

Steph D.

Steph D. created this card based on apples and the country theme. She used kraft cardstock, buttons, and trims to get the country feel. The felt flowers resemble the fun ferris wheels at the county fair.

Suzy

Sometimes, you just have to let the pictures tell the story. Suzy kept it simple this week with a 2 page layout about her local 4th of July carnival. She used Bo Bunny's Popsicle for the patterned papers and journaling spot.

Tracy

The great photo inspiration challenge this week inspired Tracy towards balloons and muted colors. She chose to use a Penny Black stamp and color the image with water color pencils. Distress inks and lovely vintagy October Afternoon papers all add to the softness of her card. Some Prima flowers, stitching, frilly Martha Stewart border punches, and bead-studded ribbon round out the card.

Welcome to Thursday's talented trio of designers ! Don't forget we have a $10 prize to Papertrey Ink this week as our prize, courtesy of the executive committee. You do not want to miss out on the chance to win that.

Let's see what our trio has for us today. Good stuff !

Catherine

For challenge 9, Catherine chose to create a card! She thought the muted tones in the Bo Bunny Mama-Razi paper coordinated well with the colors from the photo. She also kept the same idea with the 4 different squares.

Dawn

One of Dawn's favorite things to do is create vintage looking pieces, and in this challenge she chose to do that with distressed papers, lots of lace and an old photo.

Christy

Christy just fell in love with the colors posted in this photo challenge. The soft blue-greens and tan-orange colors reminded her of the upcoming fall season. She chose to revamp a previous layout of her son's first time playing in the leaves!

And tomorrow - one more day of inspiration from our design team. More good stuff coming !

You can begin submitting your cards, layouts or altered projects right now, and our submissions will close at noon Saturday 8/21. Then our voting begins, and concludes on Monday 8/23. The winner of Challenge 9 will receive a $10 gift certificate to Papertrey Ink!

So, let's see what our design team created from their photo inspiration.

Jan

Jan made a serendipitous find on her way to making this card. Coincidence or conspiracy ? Check out her odd little story about her inspiration from these beautiful photos. (cue Twilight Zone music...)

Liz

Everyone loves a carnival! This week's photo inspiration is perfect to scrap all those photos we have from the carnival. Liz used beautiful carnival themed patterned paper to scrap a gorgeous photo of her son taken at the Royal Adelaide Show. She used a lot of distressing and inking to give her layout a vintage look. Visit her blog for some tips and close ups.

Caroline

This week Caroline created a hot air balloon on her gypsy using George and Basic Shapes and Walk in My Garden. As a child Caroline would see a hot air balloon and just dream about what it would be like to be in one which is why she chose the "dream" on the front. The inside of her card says: "Everyday is another chance to make your Dreams come true."

Regan

The hot air balloons caught Regan's attention in the inspiration photo for this weeks challenge! She decided to use the Tall Tales designer paper by Stampin' Up! to create this adorable layout of her daughter! She did some fussy cutting, tearing, inking and used dimensionals to make this layout stand out! For more details and photos please visit her blog.

Come back tomorrow for three more designer creations!
