Good Saturday morning!   Did you see this morning’s inspiration piece on SCS?  Check it out here.   My first piece of inspiration came from the white.  In fact, it was so white that it had a blue hue.  Color me inspired! 

My colors were easy.. I needed a plan.  This room screamed elegance to me.  Immediately, Sharon Johnson (notimetostamp) popped into my head.  You see, when I think of elegance, I think of Sharon.  You cannot help but go “oooOoo” and “ahhhhhh” when you see her style.   If you don’t know Sharon (where the heck have you been??!! LOL) you can check her gallery out HERE or her blog HERE.   Thanks, Sharon, for being such an inspiration to me and countless others!!

Ok, now for the card.  I recently mentioned that I had totally overhauled my SU! stamp collection and organized them by year.  As we were in the process, I found numerous stamp/sets that I loved so and rarely ever use.  I decided it was time to take the “Use it or lose it” attitude.  So today, I broke out some oldies, but goodies, that haven’t seen ink in a long time.  Stipple Rose will never leave my studio.  This stamp has special meaning to me as my mom was all about roses… even her middle name was Rose.   The Antique background stays, too.  It goes so well with Toile Blossoms!

Enjoy!
