Colors of Spring

Happy Memorial Day!!!

I have been feeling unusually crafty this weekend. I love the color challenge CC167for this week on SCS and decided to use it with two sketch challenges. The first is Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge. The colors I used are Soft Sky, Blue Bayou, and Certainly Celery. What a great color combo! I broke out my Spring Silhouettes DSP which I hadn't even opened yet. I dyed the large flower from the Pretties kit and adorned it with punches from the Boho blossoms punch. A little celery grosgrain ribbon and white pearls and here you go!

For the second card I used Jen's Saturday Sketch For You. I think this is the second time that I have used one of her sketches however I check them out every Saturday morning. The color scheme is the same. I used the scallop punch and various circle punches. I used the Always stamp set.

The third item I made with this same color combo and papers, and stamp set - ok, so it was all out on my table already, might as well continue with it - was this little cute mini photo album. Check out the tutorial written by Angie (her blog is called schwooo!)! I finally did grab some other colors to make a second one. They go together really fast and the tutorial has great instructions and photos. I will be filling them with photos of each of my girls in the next day or two. And I am sure that I will be making lots more of these.

Thanks for stopping by!

Flowers ala chipboard

Aren't these flowers fun? Several of my daughter's friends came over to make a chipboard flower garden for their moms for Mother's day. They turned out so cute! The color scheme focused on Real Red, YoYo Yellow, Pumpkin Pie, and Old Olive. We used chipboard, the five-petal punch, boho blossoms punch, and various circle punches. The flower boxes are Target $1 items. The girls had a great time creating their own little gardens. And from what I hear the mom's loved them!

Take a look at my class schedule for upcoming classes. Technique Tuesday is on the second Tuesday of the month and Scrapbooking is on the fourth Tuesday of the month. Always different projects. If you are in the Vancouver WA area, stop in and craft with us!

I have not been a great blogger lately, and I hope to rememdy that. Too much to do and too little time! I am sure that most moms out there know exactly what I mean. If I could just give up the full-time job.... unfortunately that isn't likely unless I win the lottery!

Thanks for stopping by! And happy crafting!
