FMS#148 and PP#208: Never too Happy

Hello! I just had one of the most fabulous weekends EVER!  I got to spend time with my sweet sister and my adorable niece AND I also got to see the Goo Goo Dolls! It was an amazing weekend!

Okay, onto my post for today.  This morning I scanned a few challenges and decided to play in two:  the Freshly Made Sketches challenge and Paper Players color challenge.  Here are their challenges:
      

And here's my card.  The only thing I did differently, was to flip the sketch on its side.
It was so much fun to make!  I used my Blendabilities in Calypso Coral, Daffodil Delight, Smokey Slate and the Blush color from the Skin Tone Assortment.
Here is a list of the supplies I used to make this card:

Don't these colors look great together? So glad I played along with these challenges!  Have a great day!

Impressions a Bloom for Sunday Stamps!

 Happy Sunday!  Right now I am knee deep in making decorations for my daughter's upcoming baby shower next weekend and the theme is Winnie the Pooh! lol :)  I am going to be a grandma for the first time and all I can say is that I am really is exciting! I forced myself to clear off my stamping table (well actually just push stuff away) and created a floral card for this weeks new challenge at Sunday Stamps!  The Impressions  a Bloom Bundle is one of my newest favorite sets and I really have not had time to create with all of the very many different ways you can with this set.  Here's my 2nd go.

The 3rd flower was stamped using Fresh Freesia ink. I first stamped off onto scratch paper and then used full strength for the detailed/outline stamp. Next, I d...

 It's Sunday and today starts another new challenge at Sunday Stamps! Yahoo!  I love card challenges because it makes you think outside the box and at the same time gives you something to create with whether it be a color challenge or a sketch challenge.   For this weeks creation, I focused on the new Online Exclusive Bundle called Perfectly Pears .  This bundle is part of a suite and the products in the suite are gorgeous.  For this particular creation, I focused on the adorable set of pears and a few of the coordinating dies. I stamped the outline set of pears image using Pecan Pie ink and then stamped the solid part of the pear image using Darling Duckling ink which also had some Timid Tiger ink sponged onto it as well. I then took my Darling Duckling and my Timid Tiger Stampin' Blends and outlined some of the edges of the pears to add more depth to each Pear. Next, I colored the leaves and stem using Old Olive, Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie Stampin' Blends...
