So, what's the inspiration for the first challenge? Our first month's inspiration comes in the form of the song "My Favorite Things" from Rodger and Hammerstein's The Sound of Music. You know the song, "Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens..."
The challenge is to choose a lyric from the song and make a card based on your chosen lyric. Maybe your card will feature roses and raindrops... or kittens with whiskers... or another one of those favorite things mentioned in the song.
I was inspired by Carol L. who blogs at Our Little Inspiration. She used the line "cream colored ponies" from the song. Her card is gorgeous! I remembered I had this great stamp from B&J's Art Stamps.
