I am playing along with the current challenge at Inspired by... (but see my caveats below).
I was inspired by the challenge at Inspired By but I took quite a few left turns. I knew right away that I was going to use the Heirloom Ornaments embossing folder to decorate the trees. I started out with rich greens and reds as in the photo inspiration but the embossing just didn't stand out on those dark colors. So I set it aside and waited a day. The next morning, I stepped away from the challenge picture and decided to go with my favorite lighter colors in a more frosty look. At that point, I was still using three really tall and skinny trees per the challenge but I couldn't find the right sentiment. One more day went by before this sentiment started calling my name as the look that I wanted but it required shorter trees so one more step away from the challenge. The final step away came this morning when I realized that I could easily add one of my son's girlfriend's favorite things - a bunny! Even though it might be a bit of a stretch at this point, I definitely wanted to give credit to Inspired By because this card wouldn't have happened without them!
