A little behind on the posting but I think I can get caught up with this post. I'm going to start with the ABC Challenge as I only have two of those. I left off last time with the letter K, so I have I for you and I just finished M today! The prompts for L are: Lilac, Light, Layers and Lighthouse . I probably should have used something different to place behind the card while I took the picture. Sometimes I just grab something that is handy. It is hard to notice but the lilacs in the top right corner do extend past the card.

I have ideas that I think work great with the prompts but find it impossible to make them work in this format. 1. An image of something being held 2. A pair of glasse...
