This month we have an Inspirational Photo.
If you are following the hop from the beginning, you should have come from Meisje's blog. If not you should start from the beginning so you don't miss any of the inspiration this week. And make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (February 14), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps!
I was inspired by the shape and layout of the buildings in the photo. I used strips of paper to simulate that look. I used a sentiment stamp from the Smile set.
Now head over to Linda's blog and see what she has to share.
