There was a Great Inspirational Challenge Site at SCS yesterday called Empirical Style! I had to check it out. After reading the details about how the site was started and learning
that this couple's love of unique interior design products sourced from
around the world, I thought of travel and Paris lights when I saw these
fab light bulbs featured here on their Empirical Style site:
The long style Edison design reminded me of the lovely, glittery, sparkly, Eiffel Tower in Paris. (I know, crazy how we get inspiration from the oddest pieces, huh?). I created my card based on that and to match my inspirational piece, I even added a gold circle behind the tip of the Eiffel tower to resemble light and the Empirical Style piece.

I must also give great Credit to the amazingly talented Linda D, of (Linda's Work of Heart);
http://lindaduke.typepad.com. She always provides such wonderful inspiration with her incredibly gorgeous designs and tutorials. I love her shabby French style and so I followed her Paris design and layout when I created this one for the Inspirational Challenge. Thank you Linda D! :)
That's all from me today peeps! Hope you are also having a fun relaxing Day!
We are now off to my kids Travel Soccer Games for the rest of today!
TFL and Happy Creating! :)
