We have another amazing inspirational photo for you this month that we just know will bring out the very best in your creativity!  Look closely and there are so many directions to go in!  You can choose to focus on the colors, the motifs, or the idea of incorporating books/book print or even jars.  We look forward to seeing your creations!

I have included an inlinkz list below for you to add your link to your blog hop project.  This new type of link list will allow you to select a thumbnail to go along with your link, making it easy to go back and find a project later that might have perked your interest.  

You have until 11:30pm EST tonight (August 25th) to add your link to this list.  THREE random participants will be selected to win a FREE Papertrey Ink stamp set of their choice.  They will be announced and highlighted here, on my blog, tomorrow morning.  We look forward to seeing all of your creations!

EDITED TO ADD RANDOMLY SELECTED WINNERS:

Marge R. put together a clean & simple creation using Botanical Silhouettes.  I love the way she paired up the Half & Half  and the Edgers #3 dies.  Such a classy touch!

Cathy created a stunning card with one of my favorite color combos, sky blue and red.  The twine and the Bloom Builder #3 combination is not only lovely to look at, but creates a wonderful sense of balance.

Karen Buck put a unique twist on the challenge and decided to focus on the pattern found on the lining of the suitcase.  I love her take on this and her layout is simply divine!

Congratulations to all three talented ladies!  Be sure to email customer service with your FREE stamp set selection along with your shipping information!  And thank you to EVERYONE who participated!  All of your projects were amazing and took the inspiration photo in so many fabulous directions!
