photo inspiration from the Spring Fling crop

We've got a blizzard warning in effect until 6AM tomorrow morning. It's really coming down (sideways) out there! Up to 16 inches expected in the next 12-24 hours... yikes. Perfect day to stay in, sip hot tea, and play with my new SU! toys that Brown brought me yesterday. :D

Here's a sample from just one of the Spring Fling Crop challenges I hosted over at SNR. It was a photo inspiration challenge, with an Easter/spring theme.

Since a lovely new dress for Easter is tradition, I decided to use this one from Janie & Jack (LOVE that store!)as the inspiration for the challenge:

And here's my sample piece:



The crop was a HUGE success. My most heartfelt appreciation to those of you who stopped by in support - it absolutely means the world to me. XO

I have a lot of old cards that were pub'ed back in Oct. and Nov., but they are mostly holiday cards (Halloween, Thanksgiving, my Thanksgiving table scape, etc.). Is anyone interested in seeing those at this point? I'd like to put them on my blog, simply to chronicle them, but I'm not sure if I should do it now or wait until it's more seasonally appropriate...? Just wondering what you thought.

Off to play with my new goodies. Thanks for reading! Have a lovely day. :)

SUPPLIES:
All stamps, ink, corner punch, and card stock: Stampin' Up!, Cuttlebug embossing folder, Coluzzle cutting system, Hero Arts pearls (colored red with Copics), and pop dots.
