OCC Inspiration Challenge

Hello OCC friends! We hope you've had a great week! The response to last week's sketch challenge was amazing, and we want to thank everyone who participated!

Before we announce this week's challenge, we want to congratulate Denise, aka luvthesea on SCS, winner of the $20 gift certificate to Mothers & Daughters Creations. Denise, please contact us at ourcreativecorner6@sbcglobal.net so we can hook you up with your prize! And thanks again, Tamara, for your generosity!

This week's challenge, brought to us by our July host, Jennifer Meyer, is an Inspiration Challenge, based on this gorgeous dining room:




There are no rules per se for the inspiration challenge. Take a look at the photo and head in whatever direction you feel led! It could be colors or shapes or patterns ... anything that stirs up your creative juices. It's always fun to see the different interpretations of inspiration pieces!! There is no time limit so feel free to participate whenever you are able. Be sure to include a link to your project in the comments section, so we can see your creation. And if you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword "OCCC" (Our Creative Corner Challenge).

Take a look at what the OCC designers have put together:

By Jennifer Meyer - Jennifer's Sweet Designs




By Amy Sheffer - Pickled Paper Designs



By Denise Marzec - The Paper Landscaper



By Cindy Haffner - Cindy Haffner's Corner



By Dawn Easton - Treasure Oiler Designz



By Lynda Benden - Stamp Act




By Laurie Schmidlin - Just Give Me Stamps

























We look forward to seeing your creations! Thanks for visiting Our Creative Corner!

    This is my first challenge with this group. It was a difficult card for me, as I like brighter colors. All of the samples and the ones the ladies have done are so beautiful. I wish that I had added more color..but it is done and you can see it by clicking on sassafras and gingerbread when you get to my blog page.

    Thanks
