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 stripes, or the repetition.  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 (September 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:

Jen Shears created a whole collection of cards featuring these fun & festive stripes.  The simplicity of design paired with the ribbon tied in the opposite direction of the stripes is a wonderful execution.

Krillsister made her own stripes with strips of cardstock.  I love the way she has an entire strip of them edging the spine of her card.

Maureen Plut cleverly used strips of ribbon to reinterpret the stripes from the inspiration photo.  The little scalloped border peeking out from the top is a wonderful touch!

Congratulations to all of the winners!  Be sure to email customer service with your shipping information and your FREE stamp set selection!  And thank you to everyone who played along!
