What's Your Inspiration??

Good morning! Today is the 28th, and it's Calendar Girl Blog Group posting day!

This month Miss January, aka Jeanette, aka Forest Ranger came up with the following challenge for us:

This is a PHOTO INSPIRATION Challenge. But there’s a catch! You have to choose your own photo.

I want you to find a photo – it can be a picture you’ve taken (of a family member, a scenic drive, a food you’ve cooked, whatever) or it can be a picture someone else has taken. Maybe you even found it on the Internet. After you’ve chosen the PHOTO you want to use, create a card/project inspired by that photo.

Of course on your blog post – when you show us your creation – we also want to see the photo that inspired you.

I have to tell you, that I haven't done much crafting lately, too much "life" going on and no time to escape, and actually no creativity in me at all. I have wanted to do some crafting, but I just haven't been able to make myself do it. This morning, I finally got down to the basement, pulled out my stamps,glue, glitter, and Cuttlebug and got to work!

First off, here is my inspiration photo. I found it on Jeanette's blog and love the simple, pretty setting with that great pop of red!

And here is what I created from that inspiration:

and a close up of the glittery snow:

I hope you can see the inspiration in my card. I used 3 layers of white cardstock to give the card some dimension, I hope you are able to see that in my terrible pictures! I need to learn to take my picture when it's sunny out, not at 5:45am.

I don't work with glitter often, but sometimes you just have to (right Carol??)! I think this card needed that shimmer.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a look!
