Hey Everyone! :wave:

It’s Friday and time for another challenge from Anna Aspnes.

Each Friday the AnnaTeam selects one creative page from the Anna gallery as the weekly ‘AnnaLift.’ Check out the inspiration page and decide what speaks to you. Is it the design, the color, the wordART, or maybe the photo? Choose ONE idea from the page to lift or choose it ALL and lift it completely. There is no right or wrong way to ArtPlay. Be inspired and create your ‘AnnaLift’ and then upload your page to the Anna gallery. Upload your page by Thursday 7.5.12 by NOON EST with the title, ‘AnnaLift ’ and one lucky participant will be randomly selected to win a $5 GiftKard to Anna’s shop. The winner will be posted each Thursday here in the forum.

The AnnaTeam selected this wonderful work of ART, ‘Magic of Spring’ by suemo77 as the inspiration for this week’s AnnaLift.

So much artsy inspiration in this AnnaLift:
-the spectacular magical feel of the page design
-the soft and subtle spring color palette
-the perfect placement of the fotoglow to enhance the ‘magic’ of the page theme
-the mix of acrylic letters, wordART, and color to draw attention and create visual beauty in the title work
-the gorgeous blending of the photo, transfers, and brushes that sweetly flow with such grace across the page

Check out suemo77’s stunning page, ‘Magic of Spring’ and be inspired to create your ‘magical’ AnnaLift this week. We’d LOVE to see your page in the gallery this week.

I feel like I can keep playing with this, but I am headed out of town, so must stop ;-)

Loved the inspiration so much I had to put a quick page together with my tree photos from this week.

What a fabulous inspiration page! With a framed photo, mine might seem pretty different, but I am responding to the pastels, glow and lettering and, at least for me, a feeling of magic in this old photo.
