It's nice to meet you!
Welcome to Day 9 of our 12 Days of December Event!
My name is Anne (the e is silent) and I'll be your host for this game.
I live near Raleigh/Durham, North Carolina, with my husband and our two rescue kitties.
We are "prospurring" (prospering + purring) together.
For this challenge you will select ONLY ONE of the following photos and use it in a layout.
(All of the photos are stock images from Unsplash.com which we're able to use for free under their license.)
Image #1 - Joyful Snowfall Woman
Image #2 - Snow Queen
Image #3 - Holiday Boathouse
(for this image, you may edit out the holiday wreath, if you wish,
or cover it with an embellishment or symbol that you prefer,
or perhaps one of the other photos might be a better fit for you)
How to Get the Photo
Once you've picked which photo you want to use,
right click on that photo above and a menu will appear.
Choose "save image as" and a pop-up window will appear,
asking you where you want to save the photo on your computer.
Save the photo someplace you'll remember where it is!

Example Layout for Inspiration
I had so much fun creating my inspiration page using the
Winter Is Here Collection by Palvinka Designs.
