Think Spring....

  Today is so much better than yesterday, I slept in and my headache is now gone, I woke up feeling a lot better than yesterday.  Thank goodness.  On top of that the rain is over and is the sun is shining and the snow is slowly melting away.  We are getting closer to Spring and I can't wait.

  I also have a few new cards to share today and they were all created for a variety of fun challenges.  My first card was created with a Spring them in mind and was inspired by this month's challenge at Baby Bud Designs and also by today's Color Challenge over at The Outlawz.  I hope you'll be sure to hop on over to both blogs and join me for some fun.

   My card features one of my favorite Baby Buds -- Nilah, and I've dressed her in a combination of pink or orange for the color challenge.   She was colored with my Copics and layered onto 3 oval die cut layers, that I cut and embossed using my wonderful Grand Calibur.  The challenge at The Outlawz also requires flowers and two of my large flowers were created with a punch and then topped off with Pink Prima Roses.

    This fun spring card is being submitted to each of these challenges and everyone is welcome to play along:

• Baby Bud Designs - Ribbon & Bows - Baby Bud Image required
• The Outlawz - Color Challenge - Pink and Orange - Twist ~ Flowers
• Incy Wincy Designs - Challenge # 84 - Pastel Colors

   I also have another card to share and this cutie was one I created yesterday after being inspired by a new 'CAS' challenge also over at 'The Outlawz' along with a variety of fun challenges I found over at Feline Playful.  

  This cutie features of of the 'pea-pod babies', from StampFairy and was colored with my Copics to match the colors required for the CAS Challenge. 

   I cut out my little 'baby' and tied on a piece of bright lime ribbon, I then embossed my white card base, added the image along with a computer generated 'Sweet Pea' sentiment and my card was completed.   This us another view of the card that shows a bit more detail which is being submitted the challenges outlined below:

• The Outlawz - CAS Challenge - Color Combo/CAS Style
• Kaboodle Doodles Challenges - Challenge # 57 - GO Green
• Really Reasonable Ribbon - Challenge # 19 - The Color Green
• House of Gilli - Challenge # 2 - St. Patrick's Day Celebration - Green

   I'm off now to spend some more time on my craft-room organizing project.  It a long term project of totally going through ALL of my supplies and stash.  So far, so good, but I still have a long way to go.
