HYCCT1213 Bunny with Daisies
 

Bridget- great challenge! I went with a cute bunny and flowers, as Cheerfulness can be a good companion to Hope. I used TAC's I Love Easter for my bunny in a flowerpot, and added a dc blossom and leaf. The background is embossed with Tim Holtz's Steampunk EF, and I finished with a ribbon/dc leaf/button. Here's Bunny with Daisies

What a wonderful challenge! I'll have to ruminate on this one and look around my studio to see what inspires me. :-)

Gorgeous samples!!! OH MY!!! I have some bird stamps ...now which one shall I use?!!! It's a wonderful challenge, Bridget.

Here is mine:

I was out all day at a SU workshop, so I just got the chance to make a card for today's challenge. Here it is:

Hope Perches in the Soul

Well, guess what, guys...it's 12:15 in the U.K./Ireland so I'm heading off to bed...I'll be back here in the morning to see what everyone's come up with while I've been sawing logs - don't have TOO much fun without me!

What a lovely challenge Bridget! Emily is one of the poets I can actually understand!

here is my hope card - actually more about Inner Strength - but that may be the same thing after all! HYCCT Hope - More then We Ever Imagined by artystamper - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Here is my card - this is the first one I have linked this way - it shows up in the HYCCT gallery, but not in the challenge gallery. The keyword is correct, so I will try it this way. Hope it doesn't show up twice!

Jody, great to have you post here, it just means that those who've subbed to this thread get notified that another lovely card has gone into this gallery! It only shows up once as long as your keyword is correct!

Off to church this morning, I'll be back to check out your creations and comment this afternoon (morning for those of you in North America!)

Bridget...such great inspiration from Emily Dickenson! Thank you!

Here's my Okay
