Member Challenge | Penny

This week, our member Penny wants you to gather inspiration from the gallery. Our members are so talented and we love seeing your work in the gallery! Check back each week as we ask one of our members to inspire you with a challenge based on one of their projects from our member gallery. Be sure to visit Penny in the member gallery to see more of her work.

Hello, crafty friends! It's Penny here. I had to get my Mother's Day cards done early because the cards were going inside packages through U.S. Mail. I wanted to decorate the envelopes to match the cards, and I knew I could go a little crazy, since the envelope wasn't being mailed on its own. I was working with the Film Club kits, and I absolutely LOVE the spring stamp set in the scrapbook kit. But it has several pieces that go together to make flowers, and I am quite the amateur stamper and was unsure how to use them. In cases like this, I find the best source of instruction and inspiration is the Gallery, so I went to the Creative Team Gallery and found this page by Catherine Davis: http://www.studiocalico.com/galleries/186595-blooming. Problem solved!

My challenge for you is to get inspiration from the Gallery for a product or technique you want to use but need a little help. You can go to the Member Gallery or Creative Team Gallery. When you post a link to your project here, also post a link to your inspiration piece. You can use a kit name to search in the Gallery. If you want to pull up a past kit's Creative Team Gallery, just go to the current Reveal gallery, backspace over "jolly-holiday" and type in the name of the kit you want, using a hyphen between words. I hope you find some great inspiration!
