Kathy D.January 18, 2014 at 11:34 PM"OH love that you worked with the star punched out of the paper...it looks like it was done on purpose!!The sparkly yellow is perfect. This is terrific!"

Thank you to everyone that left a comment! I hope the hop provided some great inspiration for you all! Now on to the new challenge for this week!

It's nice to have some visual inspiration, sometimes! You can choose to use the colors, the theme of the photo, or go off on a tangent because of some emotion a photo touches within your soul....however this picture inspires you, we want to see it in your project!

This week's theme is a
