oh......MAN!!! This one REALLLLLLLLLLLY took me out of my comfort zone.......I fell asleep 4 times trying to pick inspiration and then I thought, gee, good excuse to just skip it but it was eclectic friend Peggy who came up with this challenge, (you know how to pick em girl!!) so I HAD to play along......THis is what my non eclectic brain came up with......I do not have one particular piece that inspired me....Peggy inspired me and my inspiration was the overall feel of that website.....I am not overjoyed with this card by any means.....but I do think it is a good representation of some of the artwork on that website.....and since I worked so hard on it I'm putting it in the collage gallery today cuz if you ask me it's a collage.....phew - what a workout!!! Stephanie, can you pick some nice nature scenes next week maybe?????? Just kidding......they don't call it a challenge for nothin!! Happy Saturday everyone!! Happy Snow Day!! I will tell you one thing, left to itself my brain would have NEVER come up with this card.....hope you like it, (maybe more then i do??) Bwahahaha

Well, you must have absorbed the "feel" of the site by osmosis while you were asleep because this is just truly inspired..love the layering and the feminine feel..great job
