4 of a Kind! A new challenge too!
I am going to try to focus on easy and demonstratable cards on Wednesdays for a while. I am actually going to do it as a challenge on the Latenightstamper's group and would love if you want to play along. It is easy and free to join the group and you do not have to be a demo either. Come on over and play along.

Ahhh, the signs of spring!
Not that I have seen any humming birds or flowers but I have indeed seen the SUN and that my friends is enough to make me very happy! I even cleaned up all the dog (you know what from the winter) and did some other outside things. And my son got to ride his bike around a bit! Yippee.
So because of the beautiful weather I decided to use this new set--Spring Song. It is a bit of a strange mix of colors but I think I like it. Won't know for sure till I see it again in the morning, lol!
I made it a birthday card so that it would fit the Latenightstamper's challenge for the week.
Stamps: Spring Song, Well Scripted
Paper: Crushed Curry, Whisper White, Rich Razzleberry DP, Sweet Pea Paper Pack
Ink: Basic Black
Other: markers, watercolor pencils, build a brad, blender pens, circle punch, paper piercer, mat pack
Hope you have a great night. Thanks for stopping by.

Monday Lunchtime Sketch Challenge 113!
Wow, I am so messed up with the time change. I forgot to change the kitchen clocks and those are the ones I have been using all day and now I am late getting my son ready for bed, so this will be a quickie!
Here is my sketch for the week...
I just got the Tote-ally Tess stamp set and knew I had to use it for today's challenge. As per usual, I am combining one of my cards with the new Latenightstamper's challenge number 62. This week we are focusing on Birthdays! I think I like the Brunette better?? Tough call, it is a fun set to paper piece though!
Card one :
Stamps: Tote-ally Tess, Tiny Tags, The more the merrier
Paper: Taken with Teal, Basic Black, Whisper White, Sweet Pea Paper Pack

An early re-cap of Sketch Challenge 112
Featured Stamper Challenge 8 for the week of March 14th-20th
Cleaning out again! Can you believe my basement flooded AGAIN. This is really getting old, lol. Any way I am almost done cleaning up again so I can begin to create again. Today is the challenge I host on the Stampin Connection Group. This is a group for US Demo's that Stampin Up has done for us. Kind of like SCS but ALL Stampin Up! Each Sunday I host a Featured Stamper and we all find a card or project in her gallery to inspire us--or CASE. There are a few rules though, you must change at least two things. If you are a US demo come on over and play.
This week's Featured Stamper is Wendy Hawkinson. I actually chose two of her cards to work with, I loved the colors of the one and the design of the other so I combined them. Here is my card...
Here are her two cards that I was inspired by...
Supplies for my card...
Stamps: Vintage Vogue, Whimsical Words
Paper: Chocolate Chip, Pixie Pink, Whisper White
Ink: Pixie Pink, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, Old Olive
Other: Scallop Trim Border Punch, SU Sizzlitst , wide oval punch, ribbon, Flower Fusions, brad
Hope you have a fabulous Sunday!

More sparkly samples!
Here are two more samples for the Bring on the Bling Latenightstamper challenge 61. I am glad to be using this specialty paper--I forgot I had it. And what fun I had with my little tree scene. Doesn't it just scream SPRING!
