Of Course I have a Bike On My Wall! Don't You?

It's time for a brand new Design Team challenge over at Gourmet Rubber Stamps and this one is a fun one! The DT challenge was to be inspired by decor in your own home! Find something that inspires you, photograph it, and then create a card based on that piece. Well, I walked around for a bit trying to decide what to use and had a few ideas, but none that were really hitting me. And then I saw it. Right there hanging in our living room. The Hubbums' bike. Yup. It hangs in our living room because we're cool like that. HA! We have a small house and he needed a place to store it, we had a giant, empty wall in the living room, so...this is what I suggested!

And it has worked rather well, too, if I do say so myself. It's safe, easily accessible, and covers the big giant empty wall! Perfect 'us' decor! LOL! Here is the card I created inspired by the 'Bike on the Wall' piece in my home. HA!

Happiness on a bicycle built for two


*LOVE!* I used two different stamp sets for this one. The bicycle is from the Sealed With A Kiss Diners set and the sentiment is from the Swingin' Spring Diners set. They work perfectly together!

Now it's your turn! Find something that inspires you in YOUR home and use it!!! This is a super fun way to jump start your creativity! Have fun! And don't forget to head on over to the Gourmet Rubber Stamps blog to see what the other Design Team girls did with this super fun challenge!

Jingle Out!

    That's a cool card you made, however, I too have a small apartment and instead of putting my bike on display in the living room, I got a Montague, which is a folding bike. So I can store it in my closet. Granted, I wouldn't get the cool inspiration, but I like not having to look at it all the time too.

    Great card!! I love the bits of pattern paper at the bottom of the card for the punch of color! Perfect touch.

    Love the popped up bike - well, both of them, I guess :) We had bikes everywhere until earlier this week - in the shed, in the basement, in the yard...gave away 4 outgrown bikes to a teen who rehabs & donates them. How cool is that? So now we're down to one in the bsmt, and 3 hanging out with the barbecue. I remember having to keep mine in our kitchen in our first place...should have hung it up!
