Comforting Hugs...

Feeling rather uninspired today.  Not sure if it is the ongoing, never ending winter weather we are having or what, but tried to sit down and put something together for a few challenges.  That usually gets the mojo going, but just not feeling it.  Here is what I ended up with....again, not loving it but playing along anyway.

Actually managed to get it to fit with 3 different challenges...
Stamp Ink Paper - color challenge 

Paper Craft Crew - sketch 

Addicted to Stamps - clean and simple

Hoping next weekend will feel a bit more creative.  Until then....hope everyone has a great week.  Since some of you will have a 4 day work week, that can only be a good thing, right?

Happy Easter...

I know...it's a tad early for Easter, since we haven't even made it to Valentine's Day, but had to put a little "spring" in my world.  Just when I was hoping winter had subsided, along comes another 5-6 inches of the white stuff.  Enough!!
This is such a cute image that I grabbed from Prettygrafikdesign on Etsy.  All sets are on sale through January.

Have a great week!

A couple of Newton's Nook...

Seems I was in the mood to fussy cut and paper piece this weekend.  This was a fun card to put together with being able to use so many different cute design papers.  The stamp is Newton's Nook Newton's Nap time.

Next is from Touchdown Tails.  This is a great set if you have those sports lovers on your card making list.  This one is also going in for the sketch challenge with the Paper Craft Crew.

I only need two things...

I am having so much fun with the February Simon Says Card Kit (which is sold out).
Today it was my BFF's turn to pick the challenges that we participate in.  She picked three, but I could not for the life of me, incorporate one of them.

 I did use the cute Paper Craft Crew sketch...

...along with the CAS Mix Up Card Challenge.  This one may be a bit of a stretch.  The challenge was to use 1) Corrigated cardboard..check  2) Stamping...check, and 3) One of many other "your choice" options listed. I chose watercolor which is used on the background.  My concern is that it is a CAS Mix up, and when I look at this card, I don't really see clean and simple.  However, my disclaimer is it's Superbowl Sunday, and I need to get to the party outside my cave, so it will be what it will be!  Plus, I have a very important birthday card to finish up...shhh!!
