Challenge 129
Sorry this challenge hasn't been posted yet. I was waiting to see if Challenge 128 was going to be extended or not (hopefully the polls will be up soon). Since it doesn't look like it will be, I'm posting the next challenge.
Quote Challenge
I haven't done a Quote Challenge in a while so I thought it would be nice to have a Spring related quote.
Spring was moving in the air above
For the Quote Challenge, you can use any images, brushes and/or borders you choose but please use ONLY the quote provided. Please do not add to or edit it in any way. As always, please tell me if I'm confusing the HECK out of you.
The quote above is a small snippet of a quote by Scottish novelist, Kenneth Grahame. The full quote is: Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.
