Happy Tuesday! How is your week going so far?Quick share...my attempt at a *circus* card for Paper Craft's last call...when I didn't reallly have any circus-related products! ha! Clearly, I wasn't really feeling the circus! I do love this image I found from the Graphics Fairy though. Later, after the deadline, I found even more cute circus images from her. Check her out, cute stuff!Gotta roll, trying to head toward the treadmill, sigh. Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeStamps: digital image from The Graphics Fairy.
Cardstock: Baja Breeze, Sassafrass Lass patterned paper.
Accessories: Brown/White baker's twine, Crate Paper sticker sentiment and border.
Happy Sunday! This card seems to fit with yesterday's card, so I guess we'll call this weekend's theme: play! Even though I have done no playing whatsoever, ha!This is a mini card, 4 1/4" x 4 1/4" using the Maya Road canvas triangle banners. Aren't they cute?! I was trying to use them in a non-traditional banner way, and since we had been studying shapes in 2nd grade, they just flew into a hexagon shape. Plus, we are always using spinners for different games (learning games, of course!), so that's where the "play" came in. For the different colors, I just rubbed the little canvas pieces right into the ink pads...very messy, resulting in inky fingers!Okay, back to the grind! Hope you are enjoying your weekend! Thanks for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeStamps: Woodgrain background.
Cardstock: Crumb Cake.
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizazz, Wild Wasabi, Tangerine Tango, Rose Romance.

Happy Saturday! Are you ready for your weekend?!Here's a quick little no reason card I made just for fun during spring break. Really it was inspired by Jessica Witty after she blogged about mustaches (and yes, I did order that stamp set she featured, I'm calling her "pusher" now, ha!) and I decided I needed to use the cute little mustache in my stamp set from Kim Wilson.I'm off to work on some projects now. I have a deadline looming over me that is filling me with panic and fear. Nice, huh?! Hope you have a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!RecipeStamps: Kim Wilson

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week is going fine! Mine is kicking my b*tt! The kids have been awesome, I think it's just shifting back from the 9 hours of sleep per night last week to the 5 hours of sleep per night this week! Ugh! :)I do have some more cards to share that luckily weren't picked up for the last Paper Crafts mag call! heeee! This was a color call challenge and I really loved these colors! It's fun (sometimes!) to challenge yourself with colors you don't normally put together, and I liked these a lot. Hope you have a great Wednesday! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sigh, it's true, Spring Break is coming to an end. Time to put away the crafty supplies and get out the school supplies and see what's going on this week. Thank you, Spring Break, you've been wonderful and I will miss you!I *love* Heather's Totally Hues color challenges, and even if I didn't get this one done in time to join in, I still had to play with it! I need to start a file just of her color combos, she is magical with colors! I used the Stampin' Up! So Cute set, and we know I don't color *much*, but I do like coloring with my white craft ink and a blender pen, so hello bunny! I got this set free with my $50 order for Sale-A-Bration, and I LOVE how you can pick certain sets from the big catalog for free now! Ta Ta for now and enjoy your Sunday evening!

Happy Saturday! Hope your weekend is off to a beautiful start!Here's a quick share I made using the color inspiration from the Play Date Color Challenge #73. I thought the colors were so soft and pretty and some I don't normally use, so I gave it a go. And apparently they brought out my frilly side. *smile* The white ruffle trim is the edge I cut off of a grocery store doily. I put down some red line tape, then scrunched and stuck the doily edge down along the tape. Easy peasy!I'm off to work on some deadline-looming projects that have me wondering what on earth I was thinking of, sigh. Wish me luck! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!

Happy Thursday and Happy St. Patrick's Day! Are you feeling all Irish?! I was while working on this card and playing the Celtic station on Pandora. I'm not sure if I have Irish in my genes, but I think I must because I love the music and I have red hair...right?!Aren't these colors from the Colour Q challenge absolutely electric?! I started playing with them last night...and got nowhere so went to bed to read, hee! But when I got up this morning to stamp (at 8:22 patting myself on the back!), I wanted to work on a St. Patrick's Day card instead. After about, oh say 2 hours, of getting nowhere (again!), I realized these colors could work for my 'lil Irish card! (BTW, I blame the slack in production on the lack of Starbuckstion!)Anywhoo (for dh, if he's reading!) back to the card. I probably have some St. Patrick's Day stamps somewhere but what's the likelihood of finding them? So I found this Lucky bingo card you can print here. (Since then, I found this shamrock that Kim Huges is sharing on Paper Crafts Connection, so I may have to do another!) I printed it on some retired SU Old Olive paper, added a doily (I think I'm the last paper crafter in the world to go buy and some doilies at the store, but I did it Monday night!), and some other junk and that was it. Plus five minutes trying to get that bow to not cover up part of LUCKY, grrrr.I hope you have a safe and wonderful St. Pat's holiday! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Tuesday! How is everyone doing today?! I find spring break to be progressing nicely so far...Here's the first card I made with my Maya Road light bulb set...a card made with a specific person in mind...a rarity for me! *smile* I love blues and grays, so when I saw this challenge from CR84FN,
I had to play along!
You still have time to join in!Today I had *dedicated* to housecleaning, but I have to tell ya, it's not working out that way so far. Who thinks I can turn this thing around? Who has the faith in me? I'll let you know how it turns out tomorrow!Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Monday! Hope your week is off to a great start! With Spring Break, mine definitely is. I committed to a lot of projects this week, but that's usually good for me.
I did take a few minutes to stamp up this little card last night. When I saw that new light bulb set from Maya Road, I knew I had to have it! There is something so appealing about the lines of all those different light bulbs! There are 5 in the set, so I stuck them all on a clear block and started stamping. Easy peasy! Who will this card go to, for what occasion? I have no idea! ha! I'm waiting for the "eureka" moment!
Enjoy your Monday! Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs and happy stamping!
