TPE #230 - Photo Inspiration

Happy Monday!  Hope everyone had a nice weekend, particularly those in the path of the recent snowstorms.  Here in the south, it was rain again, lots and lots of rain.

Today, however, is looking to be pretty nice with sunshine and warmer temperatures.  Not exactly holiday weather, but I'm used to it.

If you are like me and still trying to get into the full swing of the holiday spirit,

then

pop on over to 

The Pink Elephant Challenge

for this week's challenge ---

This week we have a photo inspiration 

for you:

The Pink Elephant Challenge - #230 Photo Inspiration

Isn't that just a fantastic photo

chocked full of holiday warmth and coziness?

Come play along with us 

for some holiday crafting!

Here is my take on it:

SPIES:

STAMPS: Bow and Sentiment (Taylored Expressions); 

PAPER: White & black cardstock; DP - Making Merry (Little Yellow Bicycle).

INK: Versamark and white emboss powder. 

EXTRAS: lace border punch; Red tinsel emboss powder (on bow); holly stickers.

I decided to make one of the chalkboard easel cards I've done before.  Below is a side view to show you the easel a bit more clearly.

 Now it's your turn --

Use this week's photo inspiration 

to make 

those last minute Christmas cards and projects.
