Finding Inspiration Friday

Let it Grow Challenge with the Global Design Project (GDP) + Prize Patrol

Hi Everyone,

Finding Inspiration Friday is my favorite day for stamping. I always look for things that inspires me and today I'm creating for the Global Design Project #GDP227.

I really like the theme for this sketch challenge. I'm anticipating the weather getting nicer and it getting easier to travel to eastern Washington and back for my daughter who is at college. We have the most beautiful mountains here in the great Northwest, but it sure does become difficult to travel in the winter.

For my project, I decided to use a stamp set that I haven't used very much. It is the Rare Blessings Stamp set from the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog. I really love the stem of flowers in this set. It is a large yet delicate floral piece. 

Here are a couple more samples using this beautiful stamp set. 

There are many more projects to see with the "Let it Grow" theme. Be sure to visit the GDP#227 page to see some great ideas and get inspired.

Of course, you know I do have my own sketch challenge that I put out to my stamping friends each month for a chance to win a prize. I think today makes the perfect day for my own challenge. I've been so inspired by the GDP#227, I'd like to offer it as my challenge for this month.

Here are the details:

• Create your own project following the "Let it Grow" theme.You do not have to use Stampin' Up! products. Any of your crafting supplies are fine.
• Upload your project to me to be entered in the chance to win. you can also mail or hand deliver your card
• Have your project uploaded or to me no later than February 28th

Happy Stampin'
