HCE08 -- Inspired By A Bit of Spring -- 12-27-08

[mmbc]

I hope that everyone is enjoying the holidays and the Holiday Challenge Extravaganza 2008!

I live in the Pacific Northwest of the United States and we are getting pounded by snow. It is so unusual for our area that many, like me, are housebound and waiting for it all to melt away.
I found this amazing photo on Flickr taken by Christine Lebrasseur, I wish...
I just love how those bright butterflies are amongst the white glittery scene. It is like spring is trying to come through!


Your challenge is to use this same photo as an inspiration. You can use the colors, layout, anything about it to inspire a creation. Thank you so much for playing!!

Please use the keyword HCE08 when uploading.

What a gorgeous photo! Will definitely be playing later today. I hate to almost say this but it's 70 here and the perfect day to take down outside Christmas decor before it plunges into the 45 range next week.

Well, I finally got around to doing this! It was one of those take all day long cards with a lot of other stuff to do in between. I hope you like it! Inspirations are in my photo description. Have a great evening and God bless you.

Thanks, Flowers & Glitter

[RobinStamps]

Thanks for the inspiration! The sun's finally out here after rain for the last week. So I'm off to be inspired by some flowers in the neighborhood. It may actually be clear enough for me to see Mauna Kea, which is supposed to have snow on it!

Here's my card! Have a great weekend everyone.

What a gorgeous inspiration, I'll have to try this one tomorrow.
All of this snow has been too much! Today was the first day we have been out and about. I never thought I would actually enjoy running errands as much as I did, it felt great to be out in the world again
