Find the Original
All too often I hear "I’m not creative, I can’t come up with anything." And hopefully most of you know my answer to that: "you don’t have to be, that’s what the catalog is for!!"
So, to prove that I too use the catalog for inspiration for color combinations, layouts, and everything else, I’m showing you a card we did at last night’s Christmas stamp a stack. My challenge for you is to find the card in the catalog that inspired this card. Once you find it, post a comment here on my blog letting me know which card you think it is by Monday, the 25th at 5 pm EST. I’ll then randomly choose one winner from all the posts, using random.org, and send that person one each of the four different Christmas cards we made last night!!
Next time you’re stuck turn to a fabulous source for inspiration – the Stampin’ Up! Idea Book & Catalog!!
Okay – well you ladies are smart. It was indeed inspired by the Simply Said card on p 59. And Amanda – definitely the one on page 38 would’ve been a great guess too! I certainly can see many similarities between the two cards. So, the winner of the 4 Christmas cards is as chosen by random.org:
There were 3 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
3
1

So comment #3 – Amanda – is the winner!
I’m happy you three (come on I KNOW more of you looked at this post – don’t be lazy! LOL) participated. I’ll be sure to put more fun games on here in the future and give away more free stuff! Who doesn’t like free stuff????

Aug 24, 2008 - 03:08:37I think the inspiration was the sample shown for Simply Said on page 59. (I have Simply Said, and I really like that sample myself!) I love how you used the “joy” from the “enjoy” stamp for this card … so clever!
I have looked at the whole book and I think it is the Simply Said on Page 59. Love the card.
I think the best choice is the Simply said too. BUT I also think there is a little inspiration from A Wish for Peace pg 38.
Very pretty K.
