{photo inspiration} TPV

We have a wonderful new challenge this week at The Paper Variety!  A photo inspiration challenge!


Imagine the possibilities! The colors, the patterns, the photo theme.  I love to see how crafters interpret photos for inspiration!  Check out the blog and see how the DT was inspired by this photo!

I went with the rain theme and the colors when I created my "Rainy Day" funds holder.  I generally keep a little money stashed in my dresser just in case.  Now I have somewhere special to keep it.




I used some older MME paper, an Echo Park cloud sticker, teardrop punched "rain", a few ribbon sun "rays" and of course, some twine and an SRM Sentiment Sticker.  The box itself is an upcycled note card holder I've been holding onto for a while knowing I would put it to good use one day!

Our sponsor this week is Studio Calico!  They are offering up a wonderful prize, an assortment of papers and embellies from one of their fabulous kits!


Please join us this week!  You have until noon EST, Tuesday, April 12 to link up your paper project.  Remember, it can be a layout, a card, an altered anything-just as long as paper is involved!  :)  If you would like to be considered for the Submission Spotlight, have your project linked by noon EST this Sunday.

I cant wait to see what you create!  Happy Wednesday, friends!

    That's a really cute box, Jan! And what a fab idea, to have a box with "rainy-day-savings".
