February Inspiration Challenge

I just realized that my cover didn't use any scrap elements at all! Can I still use it? NM - I added photo edges! LOL

I was inspired by the person standing looking into the fog and realized I had a photo from the Grand Canyon where Michael and Melissa were standing in front of what should have been the "grand" view - but all there was there was fog and snow.

 

Thank you for sharing this one @chigirl ! I was inspired by it too!

 

I decided to do a childrens book. Moctly because the book I was looking for apaertly was before the internet, but not old enough to be an antique...... sign.... a bit like me

 

Inspired by this cover:

I had a hard time choosing my book. I wanted a large photo, (I love them) to honor our dog. This is what I found.
