Happy Spring


This week's Off the Wall Craftiness colors were hard for me.  I like red, yellow and green and somehow when I tried to put them all together I had a bit of trouble.  I took inspiration from the red polka dot high heel and added a tiny bit of color for a mini happy spring card.  It would be a nice gift card or something...  Now off to go play in the sunshine....


And since Kim & Jenny are "in real life" friends, I thought I'd enter this card in the Wee Memories anything goes challenge.  


And since I've been following Amy's blog for some time I thought it would be fun to finally throw my hat in on one of her super fun Flashback Friday Challenges.  The current challenge is to repost your first window card.  The card below uses a Paper Source cupcake punch and it's peaking through to a fun piece of Stampin Up designer paper (which (hint hint) is similar to the prize if anyone wants to get in on the fun).  This was my first card that I entered for the CAS-tastic Wednesday challenge, and therefore led me to some fabulous blogging pals!  



Materials: PTI Mat Stack 4 Collection, PTI Tag-Its 2 frame and sentiment and Easter Eggs, Brillance Rocket Red ink, Versafine black ink, green and yellow scraps from my stash, EK Success 1 3/4th ink circle punch, PTI Mat Stack 4 die

Flash back card: Paper Source cupcake punch, Hero Arts clear design sentiment, Fiskars rotary scallop cutter, Stampin Up red riding hood red card stock, Stampin Up Designer paper
