Are You Hoppy?


This week I'm traveling for work and we're in the very pretty city of Nashville, TN. I saw Daffodils on my way here and it's "greener" here in TN than OH. Definitely makes me anxious for Spring to arrive! It seemed like a good time to get out some Easter stamps and get ready for March and April stamping! The sketch I used is from Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It was fun to use all these layers.

Let's Go Again!


I needed a card for a young friend of mine. That meant it was time to get out the CTMH Thrill Ride and stamp with the Merry-Go-Round again! I like that stamp set because it always reminds me of the Fair -- Fun Rides, Hot Summer Day, Cotton Candy ... yum! I'm not much into rides anymore but it was sure fun when I was little. This sketch is the Mojo Monday 180 and I chose these colors for the H2H Challenge to use Gypsy, Creme Brulee and Black. Supplies: CTMH Paper Hooligans, CTMH Stamps Thrill Ride, CTMH Ink Creme Brulee, Gypsy, Black, CTMH Green Buttons, CTMH Sparkles

Friends Forever!


A good friend of mine sent me a Birthday Card and it was SO SWEET to hear from her. As I took it off the shelf today, I decided that I wanted to send her a card as well -- just because. She's the kind of friend that you can ALWAYS count on no matter when, where or what! I used this week's sketch at Card Positioning Sketches #207 and the color scheme from Pals Paper Arts Challenge 83. Off to find an envelope :) Supplies: CTMH CS Kraft, Chocolate, Spring Iris, CTMh Stamps Unity, CTMH Ink Chocolate, Spring Iris Desert Sand, CTMH Sparkles, Misc Lace

Come On Spring!


I keep gazing out the window hoping to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Cardinals, Robins and Blue Jays that enjoy my yard and trees each Spring and Summer. I've seen them this last week a couple times so I know Spring is close! Today it's a downpour with lots of Flood Warnings but we had so much snow that had to melt, I guess it had to go somewhere. Glimpses of birds in my yard were all I needed to get out my bird stamps again as many of you know, they're some of my favorite! The Challenge at Cute Card Thursday 91 is to create a card for Spring and another Very Cute Sketch at "the sweetest thing" Sketch Sunday Challenge 106 was just a great way to get started! Here's my glimpse of Spring! Enjoy! Supplies: CTMH Emporium CB, CS Cocoa, CTMH Stamps A Tweet, CTMH Inks Sweet Leaf, Cocoa, Vineyard Berry, Twilight, CTMH Buttons Blue, CTMH Pearl Opaques
