Happy Spring

Another quickie post today! I just wanted to share a couple of cards I made for yesterday's Limited Supplies Challenge over at SCS. You could only use 1 Cardstock Color, 2 pieces of patterned papers and 3 embellies! And of course a stamped image and neutral colors cardstock didn't count.

This first one took less than 8 minutes to make, but I love it! The colors are so me as my friend Lindsay would say!! ;) The striped DP is by My Mind's Eye and the Sheer Polka dotted DP is by Making Memories. I added some gingham ribbon, stick pins, Kaiser Craft adhesive pearls and the Happy Spring is a stamp by Inque Boutique.

This next card, I kinda cheated on! LOL I added some glitter which would be considered a 4th embellie by some!! Oh well! The DP's are by Pink Paislee, Office Lingo and Sweet Cakes, the Carousel stamp is by Whipper Snapper Designs which I colored in with some Copics. I added some gingham ribbon, rhinestones and a Melissa Frances Rub-On.

Thanks for stopping by and visiting me! I love reading all of your sweet comments! And I promise to visit all of your blogs as soon as I get a chance!! ♥♥♥

Have a wonderful weekend and a Blessed Palm Sunday!

Hugs,

Dancing in the Rain!

Today is a rainy, yucky day here! So I am playing with my son, cleaning (YUCK!) and catching up on emails, blogs, etc! I have been so crazy busy, I haven't had time to do much of anything lately! The yucky weather reminded me of a card I did last week for a SCS challenge.
The stamped image is a House-Mouse stamp. I just love the cute little faces on these mice! And I love that Melissa Frances Rub-On! The bright colors are just what I need for this dreary day! I hope you like it!!

I have so many fun projects that I am doing right now for the April Dirty Dozen Reveal over at Splitcoaststampers! I wish I could show you, but we can't post any of our projects for 3 months, due to the Fan Club being a pay-to-see! If you are not a member, and you have a few extra bucks lying around (these days, who has $$ lying around though, right?) but if you would like to really be inspired, join the SCS Fan Club! You won't be disappointed! It is only $24.95 for a whole year or $14.95 for 6 months. And if you do, stop by and say Hi! I am Melissa1872 on SCS!

Well, I hope you have an awesome day!!

M2R April Reveal!

**UPDATE: If you purchase an April Kit and you say that Melissa referred you, you will get some extra goodies in your kit!! Yay! Thanks Robin!**
This months kit at Moments to Remember was alot of fun to "play" with. The Abbey Road papers by Bo Bunny are beautiful! They would work for a boy or girl and any occasion. I especially loved to cut the flowers out of the papers and use them as embellies. At only $23 plus shipping the kit is well worth it! It can be purchased here at the M2R Store. Here are a few things that I made with it.


I had wanted to make a Tussie-Mussie for the longest time, but was always intimidated by them. Don't ask me why?! But with all the beautiful flowers on these papers, I decided to go for it! It actually came out pretty good! Everything used to make this is in the Kit, except the ribbon and pearls.





Here are a couple of LO's I also made the kit. This one was my first Mother's Day!


My little pumpkin!

And here are a few cards also made the kit.
