Notecard Scavenger Hunt

mmm? Don't quite get the difference between inspired but not inspirational. If I have been inspired by something and include that in my swap then by definition does that not then make the swap item inspirational? Or am I reading too much into it? Please help my confuddled brain, perhaps with some examples?

That's the magic of my scavenger hunt swaps :-) I leave it up to the sender to decide what fits the motif and when the sender is not 100% sure their interpretation will translate, a lovely note is always a great way to add a personal touch to these simple exchanges.

"Inspired" to me could mean something handmade (by myself or someone else) that inspired me to want to create or do something: or a card with an inspiring (as in motivational) quote :)

I see "inspired" as something produced by someone who was personally inspired to create it (such as the Sistine Chapel, Taj Mahal, Mona Lisa, William Tell Overture, etc. - or even something spectacularly natural, such as Niagara Falls, Mount Everest, the ocean floor); as opposed to "inspirational", which is something created to inspire someone else. Indeed there are many things in this world that could be in both categories at the same time. (";)

This is why I love, love, love to leave the motifs a teeny, tiny bit vague :-)

I just realised that some of the best swaps/requirement descriptions I've seen, even if I haven't taken part, were hosted by you, so count me in on this one too. I just saw it on your profile page. :)
