I can't wait to see what you come up with :)

I decided to take the black/red/white color scheme from the photo and I decided to make a sympathy card for a dear friend of mine who recently lost her Mom....here is the card I came up with -

Here is the card I came up with - I decided to use the colors from the photo and also thought it would be a very quiet, peaceful place to sit and maybe have devotional time or just relax sippin' on a scrumptious coffee:

Challenge #32 Inspriation Picture

Another wonderful Challenge this week, hope you are able to play along. I chose a Inspiration Picture for my week. I thought it would be nice to have something spring like with flowers, or whatever you seen in the photo, maybe the colors or the flowers.

Inspiration Picture Challenge #32

This is my card that I made, I am not sure why the ribbon looks so red, as it isn't in real. I also 3D my grass, not sure if you can tell.

These are what the other Chicks created this week.

For my card(s), yes I made two, I CASE'd Gretchen Barron's card you can find HERE. This technique has been popping up here and there out in blogland and I just had to give it a whirl. I used stars instead of polka dots though :) Hope you enjoy them! For more details, please see my blog, HERE.

Are You Ready to Be Inspired?

Is it really Thursday again already???   How'd that happen?  :)   We had some pretty spectacular submissions for last week's distressing challenge so, again, you made it very difficult for us to pick only three.  After much discussion we chose these three cards to win the Golden Egg:

Karla

Silke

Linda

Congratulations ladies!  Please grab the badge and display it with love on your blog.  :)

Now onto this week's challenge and it's an Inspiration Challenge.  I found this lovely photo over at the  Better Home and Gardens website and immediately knew it would be perfect for an Inspiration Challenge:

Are you inspired?  The beauty of an inspiration challenge is that everyone will take something different from the picture - whether it is the colors, the theme, the texture or the shapes.  Whatever part of the photo inspires you, run with it!  :)

Here are the Crafty Chicks' cards - please check out their blogs for their explanations about how they used this photo for inspiration:
