Spring is in the air /RRR 92


 Is it summer yet???  you would think so when I went to the school to pick up my grand daughter, both sides of the road all you could see was 2 feet of snow in everyones yards, and there were kids walking home in short sleeve and sleeveless shirts..we are tough here in Maine. it was 4o degrees and it felt great..
I did not stay out to enjoy it though, I wanted to stay inside and play with paper.  I made 2 cards, because of cards I so on Pinterest..Flower pot cards as seen below..


after I made the flower pots I saw that Really Reasonable ribbon was having a challenge  "Flowers or Buttons and Bows".. So I decided to color one of the images I had from Paper Nest Dolls.."Bubblegum Emma"






Supplies: Purple Really Reasonable Ribbon
Martha Stewart branch punch
small butterfly punch
flower from my stash
rhinestones from my stash
Promarkers
Spectrum Noir markers
papers from Close To my Heart

Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 50

Atlanti Hearts Sketch Challenge
50

Happy Monday everyone, hope you all had a nice weekend.  I did, I had a Close to My Heart gathering with a group of wonderful ladies, we had a lot of fun!!
The sun came out a little bit and melted some more snow and that was a good thing.  But this is the time of year of dirty snow and MUD...be glad when that is done.
Any who, here is the card I made for this weeks sketch challenge...

I used the new Skylark paper,, I love it, such pretty paper, love the color combo as well as the bird images, although the pieces I used for today's card do not have any birds on them.

I used skylark paper pack (X7177B)
CTMH zipper lace
mini medley accent Olive (z1489)
Skylark assortment (Z3000)
paper trimmer and adhesive

Hope you like how it turned out and will give the sketch a try and link it up here...Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog

Cuttin' & Stampin' 14-13 quilt week Challenge


Cuttin' & Stampin's 14-13 Quillt week Challenge!

Good morning everyone, are you ready for another challenge?  This weeks challenge has to do with quilts..soo fun.  For the  quilt challenge, I decided to make a pattern I saw on the internet, I am not  quilter so I had to browse around for a pattern.  It involved cutting a bunch of 0ne inch pieces of paper and following a certain pattern.. here is what I came up with...

For this weeks project we are using Studio Calico's Lemon Lush paper pad and embellishments.. what a fun, bright, Springtime paper pack!  Below are the product I used in my card today.






I hope this inspired you to give the challenge a go and then you can head over to the Cuttin'' & Stampin' Scrappy Supply Store, and please do not forget to check out the other Design Team members and see what they come up with and leave them some love :))))
thanks for stopping by, please come back again.
