Spring Petals

SU Only #196 has a lovely "Spring" challenge for us this week!  I'll use Case This Sketch #263 to get me there, too, and TGIF #151's inspiration for good measure!
All these pretty spring flower hints had me running to my Petal Palette suite, of course, and today was a good day to color, too!  I picked out the yellow, orange and rose colors from TGIF, shuffled around some elements CTS, and hope it's Spring-y enough for SUO, lol.  I think I really do like the Daffodil-Pumpkin-Coral combo.  I have a tiny oddness:  My card base, which has some stamping on the inside, is Pear Pizzazz, but the background color I added to my DSP was Wild Wasabi.  I think I can live with it!

Woo hoo!  Time for a new sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #360!  I think it'll go great with these colors from In{k}spire Me #342, too!
This is the time of year I start noticing stamp sets on my shelves that maybe haven't been out to play in a while, like the one I settled on for today's challenges, Sharing Sweet Thoughts, this year's RMHC set.  It was on my very first catty order, because well, JAR set, lol, but I really haven't gotten back to it too often!  Time to change that!  I combined with the new-to-me background Marbled - it's awesome!  Other than that, simple, sweet thoughts, all the way...
See you over at TSOT - can't wait to see your creations!

Wow, As You See It #171 has quite the challenge for us this week - hope I can work this out, lol!  I'm going to try and shoe-horn in this gorgeous sketch from Match the Sketch #220.
So, holy SMOKES this was a challenge for me, lol.  I'm not sure I paid enough homage to the sketch at the end of the day, but I'll still go for it, since it was definitely my inspiration for the layout I ended up with, anyway!  My main concern was all the features of the AYSI challenge.  I decided "wide" meant landscape for me, lol, and I pulled out a star feature I haven't used in FOREVER, that also covered "one word."  "Confetti" says shaker to me, so in went some rainbow sequins, with a rainbow banner across the top.  Then I had to stop - everything else I tried just didn't work, lol.  This was a serious exercise for me!

Doesn't this inspiration pic from Merry Monday #281 look festive?  And yummy??  Let's play!  I'll be using Freshly Made Sketch #328 to help out too!
I couldn't resist going back to my Hug in a Mug set for this one - I so love to play with all the yummy pieces in this one!  I needed to boost the peppermint factor, too, though, so I also pulled out Candy Cane Christmas for some extra support, lol.  Canes and starbrights, yes!  Chocolate cheers, everyone - only 281 days til Christmas!

Wow, super yummy colors from Global Design Project #129 this week!  Let's take them for a spin at Stamp Ink Paper #141's sketch!
So today's card might be one of those where I think I have an amazing idea, but can't quite get my execution to match my mind's eye, lol.  But, Barn Door has been burning on my to-stamp pile for FAR too long now, and I needed to just go for it!  My thought was that I had a nice ready-made blocky shape, and some fun ways to work in the colors.  However, looking at the finished card, I'm getting a flying door feel, that doesn't make much sense, lol.  I do like the door stamped on the woodgrain, though, hmm...  Well, I'm a warts-and-all kind of blogger, lol.  What do YOU think??  A little too Dr. Parnassium??

Friday is here and you know what that means!  Fab Friday #133 is ready to play!  I'm mixing in Paper Players #384 pink challenge, too!
So, I think the Bubble Over suite might be my all time Occasions fave, and I love going for all different color schemes with it - so how about some pink pop today??  I say YES!  I pulled out all the pinks I had in my caddy for this one and just started mixing and matching for the little bottles and labels.  Then I added in some bubbly backgrounds and extra pink bubbles just because, and we are in the pink!  Yum!  I need a strawberry something for lunch now, I think...
Can't wait to see what you bring to Fab Friday - see you at the challenge!

Such a fun sketch for the big 150 at TGIF!  But, oh, that size, hmm...
Well, the best I can do is adapt to a standard landscape size, lol.  I need the room to finally take my Blossoming Basket out for a spin - I think they'll understand!  I decided to go all Stampin' Blends on this one, so quick and easy!  I have to admit, my new marker storage tower really keeps them right under my fingertips, too - you guys might be seeing more marker use out of me these days than you're used to, lol.  I kept the color scheme fairly simple, then couldn't resist tossing in a little butterfly at the end!  Sa-WEET!

Oo, fun little corner business there on this week's In{k}spire Me #341 sketch!
I really wanted to do something fun with this one today - how about some little birdies hanging out in a pretty forest?  Just a few splashes of color here, but SO much fun to put together - I really like how this color combo came out, too!  I have plans to send this to a dear friend for her birthday - she's the bird feeder queen!

Fun day ahead!  First we have a super cute sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #359, AND I get to guest stamp over at Retro Rubber #82!  Woo hoo!  I get to go again on a tic-tac-toe challenge - woo hoo!
I actually started with the grid today, and I zeroed in on "birthday" pretty quick - which way to go from there?  I checked out my stamps first, and found my old Crazy for Cupcakes set from 2008.  Yes, I have kept every cupcake set I've ever come across, lol.  From there I went straight up and added "twine" and "pink" - yum!  I used our TSOT sketch to place the elements I wanted to use, and ta-daa!  Tasty time!  Can't wait to see you over at our challenges - show us what you've got!

Oh goodie!  It's been a bit since I've had a tilty sketch to play with, and Freshly Made Sketch #327 sure fits the bill!  I'm adding in Color Throwdown #483, too - Spring is coming!
Soooo, I think I might have been a little hungry this morning, lol.  You know how I get when the "any shape" flag is waved in front of me, and once I spotted Fortunate to Know You, I couldn't snap out of it!  I've been pretty much drooling the whole time I was putting this together, thinking about all the fun birthday memories at Chinese and Sushi places we've been.  Our favorite place, Hiro Sushi, has "party chopsticks" for special occasions - a jar of resin sticks in all kinds of colors that you get to pick from and keep.  Seemed like a good time to paint me some Calypso Coral ones, lol...
