Birthday Sprinkles
Happy Monday, peeps and Happy March! No challenges today, just a quick card I created with Sweet Ice Cream...such a great set for birthdays or any sweet greeting! And it was a chance to use some brighter colors, which I really needed on a dreary weekend! So here we go:

TCC149 Happy Day
Hi everyone! Wednesday brings us a new challenge from The Card Concept, where we share specific concepts of creating! Here's the prompt Julie has for us today:
Isn't that a fun child's room? I was inspired by the colors....in my high school yearbook under "favorites", I listed the color orange...and it's still one of my favorites, in any shade! I pulled out the new Sweet Ice Cream stamp set (ice cream is a favorite, too, LOL!) and went to work:
I stamped three ice cream scoops in Coastal Cabana, Pumpkin Pie and Crisp Cantalope (ret), stamping the cones in Baked Brown Sugar, then punching them out with the matching punch. I stamped the sprinkles in Versamark, then coated them with Heat and Stick powder and added some glitter for fun:
On Sunday after the family finished celebrating Dana's birthday, we decided to do some impromptu sledding! It was perfect weather...not too cold or windy, even though it was overcast, and the snow from a few days ago was still "sleddable"! Cassidy and Lee decided to have a race; I think Cass might have gotten a wee bit of a head start:

A Plethora of Purple
Happy Monday, friends! I have a very purple card for you today! Purple hues are always a challenge for me, but I have a friend who loves purple and her birthday is coming up, so I made a very purple card for her, using the pretty All Things Fabulous bundle! So here we go:
I used shades of Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape and Blackberry Bushel for my three-step stamped florals and Mint Macaron for the leaves. Before adhering all my flowers, I embossed a Highland Heather card base with one of the Greenery embossing folders, and added some Highland Heather DSP and a torn edge of Gorgeous Grape:

IB147 Fall is Sweet
Hi stampers! Happy Thursday! It's time for a new Inspired By challenge....look at these yummy goodies! I wouldn't mind eating every one of these, LOL!
And here's our optional sketch:
As much as I love a sketch with three elements on it, I opted not to use it this week! I did use a couple of retired fall favorites, Merry Cafe and Pick a Pumpkin, to make my sweet fall birthday card:
I am sorry they retired this set so quickly, it has a lot of fun coffee and tea-themed images for the holidays and I am happy when I can use it again! And I did use a challenge sketch; it's from Tuesday Morning Sketches:
And I am also throwing this into the ring at Festive Friday, because I've got a hot drink, plaid, cream, brown and diecuts!

Be sure to stop by the Inspired By blog to see what the DT has created...they're a talented bunch of stampers and I always love to see how their creative minds interpret the challenge! Thanks for popping in today!
School picture...one of the nicest!
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
