Monday Mood Board #12

Loved the festive color scheme for WPlus9's Monday Mood Board, so decided to play along...

PLAY ALONG

If you'd like to play along, use the mood board as a starting point for a card, tag, layout or any project...where ever the inspiration takes you! Use at least one Wplus9 product. Upload your project to your blog or online photo gallery such as Flickr. Then link it up to share it and keep the inspiration flowing! Remember, you'll have 2 weeks to play along.

Here's mine:

Paper: Neenah - Solar White, misc. Bazzill cardstock
Stamps/Inks: Fresh Ink - Mojito, HA Shadow Ink - Pale Cantaloupe, Red Royal, Cornflower Blue, HA - CG522 Edgy Background, WPlus9 - Fresh Picked and Spring Tags

Lawnscaping Challenge #57

Stamps/Inks: TH Distress ink - Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, and Antique Linen, Memento - Rich Cocoa, Lawn Fawn - Many Thanks, PTI - Leaf Prints, Delicata Gold Ink
