Blogger's Challenge #91-Think Spring


WOW, it's already Friday. You know what Friday means, Blogger's Challenge time! This weeks challenge is to think SPRING! Spring colors.

I decided to go with my spring duck and add some spring colors. I think I am really on a pink and green kick right now, as my last few cards have been in that facinity. I used my new DP from Little Yellow Bicycle, and went with it. I think it came out okay.

Three clovers Thursday #5


It's Thursday and that means Three clovers Design Thursday challenge. Today's challenge was to use up the scraps. I don't know about you, but I have scrap paper coming out of my ears. As many of you know, I am a paper HOARDER! I love designer paper. The problem being that I will use a small amount and have a ton left over. I have started trying to put them in a bag with the thought that I will go back and use it. Honestly, I do sometimes go back for the scrap bag, but more times than most I will reach for a full sheet. So, I did go through my scraps for this card. I also was able to use a image I had colored a week ago with Kerry. SO this card was a very fast card.
Can you believe I Used a Magnolia AGAIN? That was the last of my images, so no more Tilda's. I do have a fun time coloring them, but I still can't get past the fact that they have no mouth. Where's the mouth??????? If you would like to participate in Kerry's challenge head on over and link up with mr. Linky! I hope you all had a Terrific Tuesday and we are looking forward to a Fantastic Friday!


I just wanted to share with you that Twilight will be released on DVD Saturday at 12:01am. I am still trying to decided if I will be heading to Walmart at midnight, or wait until sat morning. I do know one thing, I am SOOOO excited and I can't wait to watch it again. Any other Twilight die hard out there?

Supplies
Stamps: Magnolia
Paper:Imagenesce
INK: copics, Memento black
Misc: Primas, white pen, ribbon, marvy punches

SUINKWWC32— The colors of Spring



Happy Wednesday all. I Love Wednesdays! They mean the week is half over and it is Whachadoing Wednesday over at SU INK & More. This weeks challenge is to make a card with spring colors. Well, it's still not spring here in NH (I still have snow in my yard),but it has started to warm up a little. I think it is supposed to get to 50 degrees today. I will take it. I can't wait to pack all the winter coats and boots away. I am longing for the days when I can open the windows and the kids can play outside.

On my card today, I used the SU INK set "some bunny special". I am not really good a creating a scene on my cards, but I thought it would be so cute for the boy and the girl to hold the basket with the little chicks running around. I paper pieced the little girls dress to match my background paper, and the rest is colored. The sketch I used is from MJ's Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge. So, I got to use this card for both challenges. I couldn't follow the challenge exactly because I don't have a oval punch (can you believe it), but the rest of the card is pretty much to the sketch.


So, feel like you would like to play along in a few challenges? Head over to SU INK & More and see what the rest of the Design team came up with and play along with us. If you do play please use the keywords SUINKWWC32 when uploading on-line. I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Wednesday, and think spring. Happy creating!

Supplies:Stamps: SU INK & MORE, Paper: Making Memories, Core'dinations, Paper Trey White, INK: Copics, and Memento Black

Happy St. Paddy's Day



WOW can you believe it is already March 17Th? How time fly when you're having fun. Do you celebrate anything special for St. Paddy's day? I will be working, but I did want to share a quick story with you. My daughter Abbey is 7, and she came home from school today telling me that there was a leprechaun at her school, and that she didn't get to see him, so she was going to make a trap to catch him. Well, the trap is set and ready to go. She left a quarter and some goldfish cracker, and is ready ti snag him when he comes in her room. Of course, I will have to trip the trap, steal her quarter, and leave change going down the stairs like he was running. Both my kids were a afraid to go to bed because of the leprechaun, This whole thing makes no sense to me.
For todays card, you know it had to be St.Paddy'd day card. I used the Blarney Stone set by SU ink. Such a cute set for St. Paddys day cards. So, will tonights dinner be corn beef and cabbage? HAPPY ST.PADDY'S Day.

3 Clover Thursday Challenge *inspiration*


Hey it's Thursday and that means 3 Clover Thursday Challenge. Today's challenge is a inspiration challenge (see photo). When I looked at this cake, the colors and stripes are what popped out at me first. so, that is what I went with. I received some Sugar Nellie images from Anne in my sisterhood bloggers group, and I wanted to try these out, so I combined the two to make a Birthday card, and this was my result. I really wanted to use some orange, but I couldn't find any in my stash that I liked, so pink and green it was!!!!!!

I wonder what you would take from this photo. What kind of card would you make? Wanna play? Take the challenge, make a card and then head over to Kerry's blog and sign up with mr. linky. Can't wait to see what you make. If you have a chance, check out the cards from other ladies on the inspiration team. They are FABULOUS!
