Wishing You Roses

I'm here with an early post today.

Hope all of you are enjoying your Wednesday morning. After having a long weekend of playing in the sun and doing yard work, I'm happy to be back in the mood to create. Now the only problem is finding the time to do so. While I did get time for my new creation today, there are tons more challenges that I want to do.

I hope that you are inspired as much as I was with today's challenge: #7 Color Challenge by Dawn.
Those flowers are so beautiful. They just say Spring and Summer to me! Which makes me want to go out a plant tons of flowers everywhere in the yard. The color combo, well what else to say, but WOW!!! I LOVE the combo, and now it has become one of my top five.
Here is what I came up with~
I used one of my favorite layouts for this challenge.

Supplies~

Stamps: Flowers ( Garden of Life: Papertrey) and Birthday wishes ( Mega Mixed Messages: Papertrey)

Cardstock/Ink: Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, and Raspberry Fizz

Extra: Fizz silk ribbon, distress edges (Fizz cardstock), and Paper Punch

I'm keeping this super short today (I'm in a non-talking and creating mood)!





For today, I have a new challenge to share with all of you: Jewelry Color Inspiration by Stacey. Every Sunday, she comes up with some wonderful colors combo using some great jewelry! While I've been reading her blog for some time now, I just seem to never do her challenges.

After planning all day on what I wanted to create, I finally was able to make it come to life!

Supplies~

Stamps: Background Stars (Star Prints: Papertrey), Little Star and Circle with Lines (Let Freedom Ring: Papertrey), and Celebrate (It's a Celebration: Papertrey)

Can't believe the weekend is already here. Wow, the week went super fast!!!
So today, is going to be another short post. I have a HUGE list of things to do, and to make it even worse my husband is coming home early. Which leaves me not a lot of time to play.
But I plan on being back next week with tons of posts with new creations inspired by all of my favorite challenges.

For today's challenge:

Happy Tuesday~
Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. It still seems to be a little crazy getting the last finishing touches on the house. Plus with having everyone wanting to come over and see the new house. Well, just leaves me really no time for stamping.

Father's Day Duck~

Today, I have another Father's Day card to share with all of you. The sketch was inspired by Sketchy Thursday #36. When I first sat down to play with this sketch, I was having a really hard time making it all work together. I don't know if it was designer paper or being a card for a male (I always seem to have issues with male cards). After adding a couple of layer, I am happy with how it turned out!
Here is the sketch~

Here is my take on it~

Supplies~

Stamps: duck, saying, and plant (Pond Life: Papertrey)

Cardstock/Ink: Paper pack, Spring Rain, White, Chocolate, and Spring Moss

Extra: White brads
