Blogger's Challenge #40

I can't believe that I haven't posted anything since the last challenge! It's was Spring Break here and having all 5 kids home all week didn't allow Mommy very much time to play! Ha ha! This week's challenge was "Spring Flowers". I was trying to do something bright and cheery without using the usual "Spring colors" - I'm not sure that I achieved that! Although I like the contrast of the colors, I'm not sure I would call it "bright and cheery". Oh well! Sometimes things just don't turn out as well on paper as they do in your head! Happy Spring everyone!

All supplies are Stampin' Up!

Paper: Tempting Turquoise, Basic Black, Whisper White

Inks: Basic Black, Tempting Turquoise, Craft White, Versamark

Stamps: Spring Solitude (Hostess set), Three For You, Polka Dots & Paisley

Other: Three for you Punch, Silver Brads, Turquoise Ribbon, Clear Embossing Powder

Blogger's Challenge #39

The challenge this week was to use the color combo of Blue Bayou, Soft Sky, Chocolate Chip and Real Red. I think these colors actually look great together! My post is a day late - I've been fighting a cold and my brain has been too foggy to even try to think! So I almost just skipped this week - then I came across a little kit that my bling sista, Lisa Martz, had given to me from one of her classes. It already had Soft Sky and Chocolate Chip and a design! I didn't have to think at all! It was for a beautiful tag. I didn't have the same stamps that she used, so I improvised a little and put the tag on the front of a card so I could incorporate the other colors that I needed. It didn't turn out too bad for being sick and unable to think! ha ha! Thanks Lisa!

Happy Good Friday and Easter!

I hope everyone is having a great start to your Easter holiday! I'm sorry that I've been away for a few days, but we have all been fighting colds AGAIN! What is it this year? There has been more sickness going around than I ever remember before. I think I'm finally starting to feel a little better though.

These are some boxes that I made for Hope to take to her preschool friends. I'm sure all the parents just LOVED the fact that I sent home that messy chocolate! I got the idea from my stamping friend, Cambria, she rocks!

We filled them with the "Bug Bites" graham cracker cookies. All the kids loved them!

Blogger's Challenge #38

This was my birthday card submission for the Blogger's Challenge Week #38. I used the color combo Summer Sun, Blue Bayou and Wild Wasabi. I used the stamp sets, So Many Scallops, Birthday Whimsey, Celebrate Everything and I just love the "Whoo Hoo" saying from the Just Celebrate set. I hope everyone has a great weekend!

Stay tuned - later tonight I will announce the winner of my blog candy and post some more to give away. Don't have time to do that now cause I gotta start supper!

Anniversary Card

This is the anniversary card that I made for my brother and sister-in-law for their anniversary. Their anniversary is on Valentine's Day, but I didn't want it to look too much like a Valentine's Card. I love the Berry Bliss Paper - ALL of it! It has all my fave color combos.

I used the Stampin' Up! set Love and Joy.
