This week's SCS Inspiration Challenge comes from the fabulous designs found at Room Service Home. of their favorite quotes is, “The quality of the now is the single most powerful determinant to the quality of the dream.” What a great thought.
My card was inspired by these cool Monogrammed Ribbon Bags. The straw texture reminded me of a large sheet of straw-like paper I had picked up years ago at a Dick Blick outlet store. I also loved the contrast of the wide ribbon with the large monogram medallion.
Since I didn't have any wide striped ribbon, I used two pieces of narrow striped ribbon and reversed the direction of the pattern to get a mirrored design. These cool Monogram Stamps are from Serendipity Stamps. I picked them up on a stamping road trip to Chicago several years ago, and they haven't gotten nearly enough use.
I hope you enjoy the weekend … and find inspiration.

Wow this is beautiful. I thought the paper was a placemat or something like it. I was totally surprise that is was paper. What a smart way to use the ribbon. You are just to creative and so inspiring.
