Hello there, as I type this the thunder is rolling by another storm is on its way.. So I shall try and get this all posted in case the power goes down as can sometimes happen here in storms..
The new word for
BIRD IS THE WORD is a good one.. it is INSPIRE.. a word that I find I use when I think of so many things.. One thing that inspires me is the beach, I love the waves rolling in and how awesome the ocean is.. so I have used a photo of me at the beach taken a few years ago..
The beach inspires me...
and a bit closer...
I hope you feel inspired to create a layout for this challenge!
And I have been creating some cards for some challenges too..
For
CARDABILITIES #85 the sketch looks like..

And for
FEELING SKETCHY #72 the sketch looks like
