Inkspirational Challenge #321 - Word Prompt - Woodland

Welcome back to Inkspirational; we're delighted you're joining us.

Our Word Prompt challenge for the next two weeks is: WOODLAND.  A dictionary definition describes woodland as an area covered with woods, trees and/or shrubs. While a 'woodsy' card/project is a fabulous fit, we also encourage you to consider wider  (and possibly even more 'fun') definitions.

• How about the flora (wildflowers, mushrooms, etc), and fauna (forest creatures - bears, moose, deer, bunnies, hedgehogs, snails...) that can be found in woodlands. Baby nurseries/cards are often fabulous sources of woodland inspiration.
• Or, perhaps the  'magical' beings that inhabit woodlands: fairies, elves, gnomes, ogres? 
• What about activities that occur in/around woodlands: outdoor skating, sledding, nature walks?

With these as just a snippets of ideas, it's time to turn the challenge to the Design team and to you.

Our lovely teammate, Marlena, has selected *Feature Products from 2 or More Stamp Companies* as her Designer's Choice. Since many of you already mix-and-match various companies' products on a regular basis, so this will be second nature for you.  Any theme, any occasion, any style...just be sure to follow the prompt.
