Thursday Inspiration Challenge

What a heck of a week it has been! Hurricane Ike reared his ugly head and affected a good portion of the country starting in the South and working up to the North. My heart goes out to all those who were hit by Ike and I hope things can get back to normal as quickly as possible for everyone.

Now, Diva Inspiration Challenge #9 is up! For those who are trying their chance at winning a free stamp set, this is week 3 of 4. This week's inspiration comes from a shirt found at Gap.com. Pink and Brown are a favorite color combination that I have become hooked on. The silhouette on the shirt brought a couple of new stamp sets to mind - Upsy Daisy and Inspired By Nature just to name two. The wheels are turning pretty quickly and piece by piece my project began to come to life. Now would you believe the saying in the top right corner took the most time to put together?!? LOL! I kept layering it with different punches until I came across the right piecing and then deciding on the layer of colors took another great while.....sheesh! But her is the final draft:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pretty in Pink, Whisper White, Bella Rose DS
Ink: Chocolate Chip Classic and Craft
Accessories: Pretty in Pink Taffeta Ribbon, Soft Subtles Brads, Paper Piercer, Dimensionals, Punches - 1 3/4" Circle, Wide Oval, Large Oval

Inspire Stampin' happiness wherever you go!! :)

Whew!! I finally got my week 3 project on my website www.lisargood.com and on SCS. I'm having a ton of trouble with my computer, and with the photoshop elements. I also redid last week's photo, so that looks much better! (however on SCS it shows up on both divaic9 and divaic8 page!! I'll try to fix it!)

Okay, so I'm getting this in just under the wire. You can see my card on SCS http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/1065875?cat=500&ppuser=177691. It seems kind of simple but sometimes that's just the way they come out. :o)
