Each week I am absolutely amazed at the fabulous creations that are made for the Saturday Inspiration Challenge at SCS, but this week's gallery made my jaw drop to the floor over and over again. The cards inspired by the Hotel Fox are truly amazing.
I've spent more time organizing this weekend than creating, and one of the tasks I accomplished was finally getting my Stampin' Up Define Your Life set completely mounted.
I loved how Angela (mudflapmamma) from An Ink and a Smile used this set for her Inspiration Challenge card, so I used her card for my own inspiration.
Since I didn't have any wide satin ribbon, I used this wide polka dot gross grain as my starting point. I found a scrap of matching blue cardstock and stamped a different definition from the set in ColorBox Chalk Blue Iris. This is a great layout for using some of the wider ribbons in my stash.
Thanks Angela for the inspiration.
(and a thanks to my DH for taking my new profile photo)
Love your card! The polka dots are really cute! The Define Your Life set is awesome! Great combination.
Love the new profile photo too! Great smile! : )

Love it!
I've only used Define Your Life for one other project. It has definitely been neglected in my stamp room!

So soft and pretty! Such striking simplicity!
In looking at this and your sunflowers card (above), I love your versatility!
