The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart .

Hello! So glad you stopped by today! It's time for a new Photo Inspiration challenge at The House that Stamps Built! Here is the photo that we were given for inspiration: Well, you know me and my 'love' of photo inspiration challenges! To me, the scenic ones are the toughest. The photos are so beautiful, but I have total brain lock when working with one. I guess it's why they call them challenges, right????? When I looked at this photo, I was drawn to a few things...the 'valley' of trees, the heart shaped clouds, and just the thought that this scene would take ones breath away. So here is what I made today, using these Repeat Impressions Stamps: 6113-K Life is not... 2709-I Large Pine Forest 1216-O Ruffled Heart Border The trees were stamped first, with black ink (I stamped off first on a scrap, so the image wouldn't be too dark). Next, the heart was stamped with a light sand colored ink. The sentiment was stamped with black ink, and the entire card was sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink. The panel was mounted onto a Kraft card base. Now, it's your turn! Come on over and join us in our Photo Inspiration Challenge! If I can do it, you can do it!!! Remember, you don't HAVE to use Repeat Impressions Stamps, but if you do, you have double the chance of winning! I can't wait to see your beautiful cards using this photo!!! Check out my sidebar to see how you can save money on your RI orders! Now, it's time to see what my DT friends have created! Cheri Deonna Joy Karen Kathy Heather Shirley Happy Hopping! Hope you link up a card this week! Thanks for stopping by, Patti J.

So I was inspired to try a little "scrap" metal collage. I have ideas to include some quilt rust pieces in future Metal Collage. These will be available at the Spring Garden Festival http://madisonavenuetaskforce.org/springgardenfest.html I will also have my Garden critters and a few tables
