Seize The Birthday (Anything Goes), Freshly Made Sketches and a wonderful color challenge at IN(K)SPIRE me , is where my inspiration was birthed! there is still time to play, so why don't you join in the fun! Here's my birthday card ~ I actually don't own Blackberry Bliss or Lost Lagoon (shocking, I know), so I used rick Razzleberry and Bermuda Bay ~ hope that's okay!

What a fun day of creating I had today ~ I can't believe I finally inked up my Awesomely Artistic Stamp Set ~ I've had this sitting in my cupboard for months...today was the day...I was determined to use it and found my starting point with these fabulous challenges that I played along with... I started with Color Throwdown , loosely followed the sketch from Sugar Pea Sketch 47 , found inspiration at The Card Concept and because this is a birthday card for a friend, I jumped in at Seize The Birthday !  Join in the fun and come create along with everyone!!! I used Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise on my Whisper White Panel ~ it's almost hard to see the white with all the stampin' & sponging that I did...but it's there!!! As I said previously ~ I very loosely followed this sketch ~ love the sketches found on this site!  My inspiration came from seeing so much going on in the photo, so I followed #5 ~ Free style Collage ~ lots of sponging a...

It's been SO long since I've posted, I'm still trying to get the hang of our new place, oh, and I must say....LOVE IT!!!!!  Creating is not as easy at it was in my 1600 sq ft studio, but it works!!!  My punches are stored in large Rubbermaid bins under our bed and everything else is stored in large Ikea bookcases ~ everything is either in a bin, drawer or behind a door ~ so nothing looks like a craft room, it does force me to be VERY organized, which I am...but also VERY tidy with everything put away after, that does not come easily to me, but I'm working on it ~ once I'm feeling more settled with ALL corners put away, I'll post pictures of our new place ~ in the mean time, here is a picture of what we get to look at all day long!!! ~ I had so much fun creating this card for our daughter's birthday ~ Out came some new toys and away I went ~ also loosely followed the sketch from FMS203 and because this is a Birthday card, it also ...
