Color Throwdown #181 ~ Get Well Soon

Hello!  It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge, and this time the amazing Lynn Put is our hostess!  Isn't this picture she chose just beautiful!  This is what I came up with:

I used some gorgeous new paper from Echo Park Paper Co. called This & That Graceful which had all of the colors in it.  This cutie is Good Morning Fhiona from Your Next Stamp and can you believe she is on sale for $1.00 right now!!!  Snatch her up while you still can, and check out the rest of the deals in the Bargain Bin!  The sentiment is from the YNS Elegant Greetings set. 

Make sure you check out the rest of the fabulous DT projects on the Color Throwdown Blog, and we hope you'll join us this week!

Hello!  It's time for another Fun Friday on the Your Next Stamp Blog, and today I have this cute little card to share:)  I just ADORE the new sets by Jenny Suchin Designs, and this one called Up, Up, and Away is definitely one of my faves!  I paper pieced the balloon with some My Mind's Eye Fine & Dandy True Blue dp and used this week's Sweet Stop Sketch  #146 for my layout. 

Make sure you check out the YNS Blog for several more inspirational projects and for some fab tips!  I hope you have a fantastic weekend!  I have lots of crafting to do, and on Sunday we're going down to Disney Wide World of Sports for a cheerleading competition that my bff's daughter is in.  I was a cheerleader in high school and in college, so I'm really looking forward to it (ok, so how many of you are going to stop following my blog after learning that bit of info LOL!)  Also the Daytona 500 is on Sunday~YIPEE!!!  GO #24!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Color Throwdown #180~Easter Blessings

Hello!  It's time for another Color Throwdown and this week the awesome Lori Tecler is our hostess!  I just love the color combo she chose, but I have to say, I'm a little embarrassed to share my project :(

I don't know if it's the horrible picture, or the fact that the tag looks way too small for the carrot, or what, but I am not happy with the way this came out. 

I've been a little obsessed lately and maybe my fellow paper crafters can relate.  One of my very best friends is pregnant, and I am hosting a baby shower for her~YAY!  Now grant it, the shower won't be until late June, and she won't even know the sex of the baby for another month, but I came up with a theme that I am sooooo excited about!  I am going to do a Grown With Love theme and go with the whole rustic garden idea.  I have SO MANY IDEAS in my head, and I can't stop thinking about it.  Do any of you get this way???  I can't even really get started until I know whether to go with the blues and greens, or the pinks, etc. but I have been making lists upon lists, and searching the stores for garden type decor. 

Anywho, onto my carrot.  I was looking for a carrot box template thinking it would be a fun favor idea, and came across this one in the Silhouette Online Store by Lori Witlock.  I really love the box, but I have issues with the amount of tic marks, plus I definitely need to come up with a better way to dress it up.  I ran out of time tonight, but I will try again another day.  Trust me~I'm obsessed LOL!

Make sure you check out the Color Throwdown Blog for some much better inspiration this week and to play along!  Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful Wednesday!

Color Throwdown #179~From the Heart

Hello!  It's time for another Color Throwdown Challenge and this time the fabulous Kristin Eberline is our hostess!  She chose these beautiful colors based off of her Candy Kisses Digital Paper available at the My Time Made Easy Store HERE!  We were so lucky to be able to print this paper for our projects today, and this is what I came up with:

I haven't colored up one of my Swiss Pixies in a while, so I chose this cutie named Gretel from C.C. Designs.  I used 3 of the patterns from Kristin's paper and the layout is The Deconstructed Sketch #38.  The sentiment comes from the Verve set Thankful Hearts.

SCRSC72~Week 2 Super Bowl (Any Football Team) Challenge

Hello!  There's one week left to play along with the current Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Challenge #72~Super Bowl Challenge!  If you'd like some inspiration, check out some of the DT creations on the Sparkle Creations Rubber Stamps Blog today!  Here's what I came up with for this challenge:

My hubby is a HUGE football fan (really a huge sports fan in general:) so I thought using this adorable Football Josh image for his Valentine would be perfect!  I colored him up to match the Echo Park Paper Co. Yours Truly dp, but it reminds me of Tampa Bay colors don't you think?

PTI CAS Valentine

Are you surprised to see this on my blog?  So not my style, right?  I LOVE CAS design, but I'm just not very good at it, however, this is the idea that popped in my head when I saw Melissa Bickford's free image today.  I cut out all the postage stamp letters and popped them up over a heart cut out of Soft Stone cs with my Heart Nestabilities.  The "You" comes from the PTI set All About You Additions. 

I'll be back in just a moment with another PTI project:)  Thanks for stopping by!

YNS Fun Friday~Way to Go!

Hello!  I'm running late with my post again today.  My 4 year old started running  a high fever yesterday, so I was trying to take care of him, and spaced typing up my post.  He's still running a fever, but I keep alternating Tylenol and Motrin which is keeping it under control.  I just hate it when little ones are sick!

I have this card on the Your Next Stamp Blog today for Fun Friday!  I used this adorable image called Baseball Boy and some Authentique Free Bird dp.  The sentiment is computer generated. 

Make sure you check out the YNS Blog to see some other fabulous projects!  All of the cuteness will definitely make you smile:)

I hope you have a wonderful Friday.  I'll be home with my sick little man,  but it gives me a chance to work on some projects for all the new releases coming up next week!  Thanks for stopping by:)

Color Throwdown #177~Valentine Bag Toppers!

Hello!  Sorry I didn't post last weekend like I promised.  We ended up having a pretty busy weekend and I've been working on some DT projects.  Trust me, this blog is going to be hopping next week with tons of new releases!!!

I am the hostess this week on the Color Throwdown Blog, and I decided to go with some Valentine colors.  I found a fun file in the Silhouette Online Store called 1 bag Topper Kit  Valentine by Lori Whitlock which I used as my base:

I cut the toppers out in 3 colors of cardstock, added a strip of Echo Park Paper Co. Be Mine dp, some ribbon and this adorable Gingersnap image from the C.C. Designs set Hey Cupid!  The toppers fit a Ziploc brand sandwich bag perfectly!  I think I'm going to give these to Landon's 3 teachers for V day:)  Here's a close up:
