Are you ready for a new challenge? Excellent! Check out what we have to tempt your craft-buds this time at Inspirational Challenge #121:
As much as I'm smitten with this sparkling delight, figuring out what to create was a major challenge, especially since I have Christmas on my mind...and for good reason. I am so far behind it's not. even. funny! Yeesh! As a result, I decided to go ultra really completely simple, drawing inspiration from a central, 'explosions-framed' image....Like this....
An SU stamp, distress inked with Candied Apple and Worn Lipstick, huffed upon, and stamped. Done! Love the infusion of snowflakes; a blizzard of pretty....

Superb idea Carol and really like your take on the photo, great use of the focal point.
I would say that this is the perfect stamp for this photo inspiration, my friend! Lovely CAS design!
Well I think you did just the perfect thing for the inspiration photo! I'm into Christmas too and I love it! (Hugs))
Festive and perfect! Great take on the photo!
That is some photo and right now I'm stumped but your little blizzard seems to work just fine, Carol.
Just so beautiful Carol...love all your wee snowflakes, it creates an amazing look.
This is so high impact. Such a fun holiday card, and perfect for the inspiration photo.
Well, hello there stranger! Been MIA since I got back from our LH adventure (another FUN TIME) because my computer...actually MTS...has caused me total grief!!! No posts, no comments, only one or two e-mails...and they can't figure out why! Access to the blogs has just starting working more often than not today, so hopefully it means the rest of the 'missing features' will show up too!
Took a GREAT scroll through all that I have missed!!! WOW - you've been very, very busy! Your creations are INCREDIBLE!!! The tags are so stinkin' cute and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the card with the purple and grey heart and leaves!
Keeping my fingers crossed that the 'puter' issues get better cuz I am ready to fire MTS!!! Sorry again pal for being MIA!
Perfect interpretation of the photo and sparklingly pretty.
Very fun effect and inspired card!
Carol, I might have to CASE this! It's a CAS stunner :)
Hugs Pia
I love this! The simple variation in color is fabulous and the simple scalloped frame works perfectly.
Love the simplicity of this card Carol! It is just fabulous!!! I love these SU stamps and wish I had ordered them, but I do have a friend who has them so will just have borrow them. lol Love the colors of distress inks you used, made for the perfect color. Hugs, Brenda
Wow, Carol ... what a stunner ... I love the impact of all those tiny snowflakes with the subtle variation of colour ... it's brilliant! Hugs, Anita :)
What an awesome taken this challenge!!! I just love it!
My brain isn't working like it should, so if this comment sounds weird, just come down and slap me, lol! No...just come down!! I owe you an email soon, and will try to get to that later this week (JB has two dr. appts. early this week). Your card is beautiful. Loving how you've perfectly captured the inspiration photo. And that scalloped frame die is so pretty. GREAT card. xoxo miss you. Bev
Well this is just SUPER take on the inspiration photo! Absolutely love how you used the sentiment as focal point. Great job!
Oh my gosh, Carol, this is an amazing take on the challenge and it works fabulously! I adore that explosion of snowflakes. I really admire your creativity! :) Hugs!
This is absolutely perfect! And I agree Disneyland is calling me too! I went last Christmas and it was a zoo! I think it would be better to go this time of the year! Hugs!
I think your red snowflake-exploding Merry is a terrific interpretation of the photo inspiration, Carol! Of course, I'm partial to how sweetly CASlicious it is!! Hugs, Darnell
This is simple but oh so beautiful, I love the explosion of red snowflakes!
I think your pretty explosion of snowflakes is a great take on the inspiration! Beautifully CAS!
