Inkspirational Challenge #366 - Word Prompt - RAIN - Thanks for Being You (SSD - Cute Sheep ephemera)

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #366. For the next two weeks (April 25 – May 8), we’re inviting you to find inspiration in our new Word Prompt: RAIN.

From soft drizzles to thunderstorms to  puddles + boots to umbrellas + rain jackets and everything in between, this prompt can be interpreted in a variety of ways. We know the saying: “April showers bring May flowers." Let's celebrate those rainy days and see where they take your creativity! 

How cute is this fashionista sheep (Simply Stated Design's Cute Sheep ephemera), dressed in the most adorable rain outfit ever! 

She's ready for some stylish splishing-and-splashing through the puddles.  

Please visit the main blog to see fabulous inspiration from my teammates.
Looking forward to seeing your RAIN-themed cards/projects 'pouring' into the gallery. LOL! 

Thank you for dropping by!

Just Us Girls Challenge #820 - Stencil Week - A Little Something To Make You Smile (Beautifully Imperfect - SB)

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #820, where Vicki is hostess for our ever popular Anything Goes Stencil Week. 

Once again, we're delighted to have Rosemary joining us as our April Guest Designer.

Patterned paper + stenciling with paste = a first time combination for me.
I'm okay with how this turned out. It is, as this Spellbinders' paper collection name suggests, "beautifully imperfect'.  

Hope it makes you smile.

Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery.

Looking forward to seeing how Coral and Green inspire you.

The challenge will be open until April 29th @ 9:00 am (EST).

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #819, where Bobby has selected this pretty Spring/April mood board as inspiration this week.  A larger version of the image is available on the main blog. 

We're delighted to have Rosemary joining us as our April Guest Designer.

Drawing inspiraiton from the umbrellas, rainbow colours, geometric shapes and 'text',  I reached for a set of rub-ons from 49 & Market to make my Spring collage-style card.  A simple celebrate sentiment finished it off.

AAA Cards Challenge #312 - Butterfly Hello (Simply Stated Design)

Hello,

Welcome to AAA Cards Challenge #312 - Follow My Lead. The 'lead' we're following is Jane, who's pretty card you'll see below. 

My take on Jane's card is pretty clear: a strip of pretty paper, a bold 'sentiment' - which in my case is a butterfly, and a friendly "hi" - evident on my card as a 'hello'.
I'm rather smitten with Jane's inspiring card; a design that I'm sure I'll be reaching for again.
