This past week, I started redecorating my craft room. I love to browse my favorite sites for inspiration, and I’ve found some killer color combinations I’m just itching to try (how I can resist paint colors with yummy names like Sweet Pear and Ribbon Candy?).

While searching for inspiration, I always spend some time perusing the CK gallery. It’s awesome! Whenever I start exploring there, I’m blown away by the talent and creativity showcased. There’s no end to the inspiration supplied by our very own community of CK readers. In fact, some of you inspired my own craft room plans. (I’ll be sure to share photos once the project is complete!)

So here’s my challenge to you: Choose one of your favorite layouts right now and upload it to the gallery. You never know who you might inspire. (And of course, our editors are always looking there for pages to publish as well...wink!)
