In The Garden...


Happy Spring to you! The weather is finally getting spring-like, and the golfers have been going by our house steady for the last two weekends now. It's so great to see them again, except for when the rookies hit a ball into our yard! Shawn and I are planning to add on to our deck this summer, so we have been busy planning that! He spent the Easter break building a bridge for school with Madison, and we finished it on Saturday. Big job, but the finished product is terrific! I will post a photo of it soon.


For the card that I made here, it was to participate in two challenges, the first from Chicks With Inkpads Inspiration Challenge Week #4. The girls have just recently started posting challenges, so it's fun to see what they come up with! The colors are pretty, and not necessarily ones that I would have picked up myself!

The second challenge was from 2 Red Bananas Banana Split Sunday sketch shown here. These girls started posting challenges at the first part of March, and they are coming up with some great stuff! They have also just released some terrific stamp sets, so be sure to check them out!



I just recently purchased this stamp set from Close to My Heart called "Peace, Joy, Harmony", mostly because every time I look at it, it makes me think of my sister Tracy. She works in horticulture, and always inspires me with her flowers and plants that she grows at her job. I love plants, so I envy her getting to work with them every day!

Supplies: Close to My Heart My Acrylix Stamp Set 'Peace, Joy, Harmony', CTMH ribbon, Sparkles, Liquid Glass, Embellishment, black cardstock, blue textured cardstock; Provo Craft patterned paper, pop dots, BIC Markers.

Have a great day, and thanks for visiting!

Two Challenges....


Easter weekend is almost upon us, and I can't wait! Four days of work this week and then I get four days off as our office gets Easter Monday off too! The weather has been lovely and I can't wait to get out and ride bikes with my family!

The card I made yesterday was for two challenges. The first one is for Amy's Sketch #56 seen here. I love using her sketches, and she makes such beautiful cards.


The second challenge is from Chicks With Inkpads Challenge Week #3. Aren't the colors just fantastic? This is only the third challenge these gals have put on their blog, and I'm pleased to participate this time! I have to admit that I'm not totally pleased with the card, but I made an attempt!



I would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday weekend, no matter if you celebrate Easter or not! Hope it's wonderful for you!

Supplies: Close to My Heart green, blue, black & white cardstock, black & green ink, beads, pop dots, white flower, Liquid Glass; pink felt (unknown); black ribbon (unknown); inkadinkado (bunny and sentiment); BIC markers.

Thanks for visiting!
