Altenew February Inspiration Challenge and SSS Wednesday Challenge

I'm spending a few hours this Sunday afternoon home alone while my 

husband and daughter are helping with a fundraiser.  

A perfect opportunity to play along with the Altenew Inspiration challenge and 

the SSS Wednesday Challenge.  

I stamped and masked multiple images for the Altenew Henna Elements stamp set.  

I love how the flowers are so easy to color but look so perfect.  

I needed a sympathy card so I used a die and sentiment from another stamp set.

I am loving the smoky shadow color lately.  

I think it just makes the flowers so vivid.  

This is the inspiration image. 

You can find more information about the challenge on the Altenew blog here.  

The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is anything goes! 

Everyone can play along with this one, give it a try!

Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop!

Hello, here in PA we were having a heat wave.  It hit 70 yesterday and was very nice this morning. 

My daughter and I headed to town with the puppies and caught a few Pokemon.  Then we had brunch at a little bagel shop on main street.  We were in just long sleeve T-shirts.  This afternoon, the temperature has dropped and its pouring rain and gusty winds.  So much for an early spring!  

I needed a Birthday card for a family friend so I took the opportunity to play along with the PTI blog hop challenge and came up with this card.  

I used a combination of Garden Gate Kit, Don't Forget To Write Kit, Make it Market Mini Kit Color Pop Butterflies and last years Anniversary set.  

I found these colors very hard to photograph and stay true to the actual colors.  

The purple is much darker then it appears on my computer.  

But I think the card turned out just so pretty.  

If you would like to play along or just hop along and see all the beautiful projects visit the 

Papertrey Ink Blog Here.  

The challenge is to use the inspiration photo below.  

Thanks so much for stopping by!

What a fun group of challenges, and some awesome cards ready to be mailed very soon! 

Thank you so much PTI for celebrating your Anniversary with us! 

I had so much fun! 

I made two cards for today's celebration challenge.  

First I made this card. Using the Lovely Laurels Mini Kit. 

And the layout of this card was my inspiration. 

Next I made this card using Pretty Petals, one of my favorite stamp sets from this year. 

And this was my inspiration. 

And finally, I made these cards from the extra stamped and colored images I had from 

some of the challenges.  

Thanks so much for stopping by, 

and have an awesome week!

I was so feeling spring in the air yesterday, 

then today, not so much! It's cold again.  

I can't wait to see all the beautiful bulbs popping through the ground. 

I just love the vibrant colors that bulbs product.  

Today I made this card for the PTI Celebration. 

Hop on over to the PTI Blog for more information and to play along.  

And I used this beautiful card as my inspiration.  

I love the photography here.  I really need to figure out how to get more vivid photos.  

I would love any pointers you might have.

Today I used another coloring sheet from Papertrey Ink.  

I love the pretty peonies on this page.  

I used colored pencils to color them.  

For today's challenge I used the layout of this card for inspiration. 

I didn't add embellishments because I want to be able to mail it in a clear envelope.  

Thanks for your comments, they mean the world to me!
