Inspired By


 2 challenges inspired today's card...

Inspired By Challenges // #IB280 ...An "inspired by fabric" challenge!! I love the aqua color called for in this inspiration photo.  A I feel like this designer paper has a fabric feel to it...kinda like a flannel shirt!!   

This challenge also has as optional sketch that has been given as an option to use.  You have to look really close to see it on my card (didn't photo very well) but there is a Whimsy Die square and rectangle behind my designer paper which was inspired by the sketch.


Never Before Use Schtuff // #NBUS60 ...A "never been used" challenge!!  I ordered these Whimsy Dies during Stampin Up's Sale-A-Bration event and I am just getting around to using these dies.  These two small ones got used for the first time today.

New Challenge @ Sunday Stamps #SSC331


 Today begins a new challenge at...

Sunday Stamps // #SSC331 ...A color challenge!!  From the "Easter Bounty" palette of five colors, use at least three on your creation.  I used Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath, and Kraft as my three colors for today's card.

Now it is your turn to join the fun and play along with us over at Sunday Stamps.  We can't wait to see how our new "Easter Bounty" color palette inspires you.  Check out the creation from the rest of our design team over at our blog.  You can also find all the details for this new challenge there.

Today's card was also inspired by 3 other challenges...

Atlantic Hearts Sketh Challenge // #AHSC568 ...A sketch challenge!!  A great sketch to use as a starting point for our new color challenge over at Sunday Stamps.  And it was perfect for showcasing my new designer paper that I just got.  I am loving the prints on this packet of Bubble Bath from Stampin Up.

Make My Monday // #MMM221 ...A theme challenge!!  SPRING is the theme for this current challenge.  I just pulled all kinds of mushrooms out of my year yesterday while doing some Spring clean up in our front yard.  To bad they weren't the kind you can eat.

Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS60 ...A "never been used" challenge!!  Today I busted into a brand new pack of designer paper from Stampin Up.  I had said I wasn't going to buy any more designer paper until I used up some of my stash!!  But... since Stampin Up did a color over-haul...I just had to break that promise!!

A Vintage CASE & Encouraging Verse

 


3 challenges inspired today's card...

Alphabet Challenge // 08MAR24 ...An alphabet challenge!!  Y is for YESTERYEAR
!!  I decided to parts and pieces from a Tim Holtz package that I had hidden in my stash.  Most things with Tim Holtz name on it has that retro/vintage look and feel of yesteryear.  I also used a page from a very old song book that I bought at a yard sale...just for making vintage themed cards!!

Global Design Project // #GDP436 ...A CASE challenge!!  For this current challenge we are CASEing a card made by one of their team members, Jay Soriano.  My CASEing of this card: the sketch...the pieces and parts all lined up running down the center of the card.

Make My Monday // #MMM221 ...A theme challenge!!  SPRING!!  Butterflies fit the definition of spring perfectly!!  I love this time of year when you see them fluttering around!!  And the title of the song from my antique song book couldn't be more fitting.





Card #2 was inspired by 3 challenges...


Freshly Make Sketches // #FMS623
...A sketch challenge!!  This was a fun sketch to showcase one of my new stamps that I got during Stampin Up's Sale-A-Bration event.   If you follow me you know that I love all things nautical!!
                                    
Cupcake Inspirations // #CI589 ...A cupcake inspired challenge!!  These cupcakes are blue and orange and the color combo was perfect for this sun & surf stamp from the Circle Saying set from Stampin Up.                                     
Never Before Used Schtuff // #NBUS60 ...A "never been used" challenge!!  Today is the first time I have inked up this sun&surf stamp from Circle Saying and this verse stamp from Unity Stamps.  Two "never been used" stamps got showcased on today's card.

Get Well Soon



2 challenges inspired today's card...

Try A Sketch On Tuesday // #TSOT642 ...A sketch challenge!!  I am hoping that the clover images were mandated for this challenge.  Even though I did not use them on my card, the sketch was the foundation for today's "get well" card.

Color Throwdown Challenges // #ctd784 ...A color challenge!!  Light blue (Balmy Blue), gray (Basic Gray), and brown (Pecan Pie) are the colors called for in this current challenge.  I loved the bear in the inspiration photo and right away thought of this Tim Holtz die.
