An Exciting Surprise!!

Oh I was so excited when Stephanie asked me to be a Guest Designer for For Your Inspiration.  I was totally excited........ when I emailed her back I mentioned that if she had an opening on her team I would love to throw my hat in for consideration.  Well, GUESS  WHAT! She was just getting ready to ask me if I wanted to be on the team!  Of course I accepted.  So, I am now an official  Lovely Lotus!!  YAY!  I adore the inspirational photos Steph gives for creating our cards and this week is no exception!  Check this out!!  So stunning....

This week we are being sponsored by Paper Pretties.
They were nice enough to send us this fun snowman digi image, and this is what I created:

I just had to add the pop of color, but needless to say I was inspired by the beautiful color.  Like I said, we have a sponsor this week so head on over to For Your Inspiration and play -- you might be the winner!  Tell em Vicki sent you :) ~~ I'll be commenting~
Thanks for stopping by~
