Wednesday Catch Up!!

Good morning everyone....I have been such a blog slacker this week!!! I have not been that busy but sooo lazy.....it must be spring fever!! Anyway....I need to get caught up because we will have three grand kiddos next week for spring break......Whoohoo!!! Hopefully, we can do some fun things...anyway....I better get down to business.
I made this card yesterday for the Color Challenge on Splitcoast to use Certainly Celery, Melon Mambo, and Bashful Blue. The dessert part of the challenge was to make a card for a friend of Cindy Motherway's named Lindsay who is going through a real rough time right now.

This is also for last weeks DDC challenge hosted by Charlene (LilLuvsStampin) to make a card or project around a quote you find on the Quote Garden site. I chose my inspiration from this wonderful quote by Christopher Reeves "Once you choose hope, anything's possible". Also, (2) you must incorporate some representation of time in your design.

My sentiment spoke to tomorrow and I also stamped images of a clock on my "quilt" panels which was for da Mudder's Teapot Tuesday Challenge. We were going to a quilt show and needed to show that snooty Aquilta the Hun that the teapartiers can do anything she can do only better!!! My sewing machine bit the dust so I had to add my stiching with the ribbon and I also added a little piercing, flowers, a button, silver pearls, and silver cording. The frame image was from Nina Brackett's Lovely Labels and the sentiment was from Gina K's Inside Out set. The frame was stamped with Melon Mambo and the flowers were colored with Copics.

This was made Monday for Splitcoast's CAS challenge to use two different shaped layers and the Technique Lover's Challenge to make a Vintage card. I just love vintage so I inked up my Rubbernecker Long Stemmed Rose and Vintage Background stamps and went to work!! The rose was colored with copics, cutout and layered on two different Nesties layers for the CAS challenge. The silk ribbon is the only embellishment.

Sunday's Featured Stamper on Splitcoast was Vera......she has such a fabulous gallery with lots of inspriation!! I chose to case the GKDFEB10LM Sung from the Heart card....I kept the same layout and colors (my pink is a little peachier) but changed the theme, stamps, and added a ribbon. The images from Clear Dollar Stamps Sassy & Fabulous set were stamped with Memento Rich Cocoa onto Webster's Pages dp and colored with copics. The sentiment says "I enjoy the little things in life....shoes, handbags, and jewelry".

My good friend Anne (Itsapassion) was the hostess for the Inspiration Challenge Saturday on Splitcoast and she had us go to the Ginko Paper store to find a little inspiration. I found lots of fun stuff .....finally chose the Animal Party Erasers as my inspiration. The adorable bee images from Clear Dollar Stamps Circle Chit Chat set was stamped with Versafine Black Onyx and embossed with clear ep. The circle was popped up with dimensionals and the wings were paper pieced with More Mustard. The circle for the chick from the same set was stamped onto white with So Saffron and the nose, wings, and feet were stamped with Pumpkin Pie, cutout, and popped up with glue dots. The sentiment is from CDS's Scenic Trees set and the scene paper is from Nikki Sivil's Willow Bee 6x6 pad. A button with twine finishes it off.This is also for the Saturday Spotlight With Hidden Potential Challenge to make a friendship card.
