Happy Sunflower Hello

Happy Friday, y'all!  Hope you've had a good week.

Today I'm doing a bit of a flashback...I found a color challenge I liked, and it reminded me of a long-retired stamp set, so I inked it up for the first time in a long time and made this:

A Flower for All Seasons has four stamps in it, one for each season, and they're all really cute (the other flowers are tulips, poinsettias, and daisies).  Here is the color challenge that made me think of this stamp set:

I used Call Me Clover (leaves and stems), Shaded Spruce (flower pot and card base), Crushed Curry (flower petals), Mango Melody (sentiment), Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip (flower centers).  Hopefully the Sunday Stamps team will forgive me for the wee bit of Real Red, but I just *had* to use it for the ladybug.  After I watercolored the image, I held it up against each coordinating color of cardstock and the Shaded Spruce just made me the happiest.  Well, green is my favorite color so yeah it makes me happy :)

I also used this week's CAS(E) This Sketch:

I kept my card suuuuuper CAS with lots of white (green) space, but I still followed the sketch.  I love sketchy challenges.

Got any fun weekend plans?  I thought it was getting a little cooler here, but nope, we were back up in the 90s yesterday.  So why does my kid insist on wearing PANTS instead of SHORTS?  Weirdo!

Cheers!

A-Team Baby Book: June

Happy Saturday!  Time for another baby book layout.

I love the colors on this one, which were taken straight from the Best Year Ever DSP from last year.

I kinda wish I'd colored the puppy differently, like making his ears and spot over his eye dark and the rest of him light, but what can ya do.  He's still super cute.

I may have a silly number of different paw print stamps.  In fact, I just had to buy a stamp set and mumblemumble because it had a bear paw print in it!

Since Clara's nursery is ladybug-themed, I thought this little plant with the ladybug on it made a sweet little accent for the journaling block.

Today's color palette:  Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry, Watermelon Wonder, Island Indigo (shading on the pocket), Soft Suede, Sahara Sand, and Whisper White.

Cheers, y'all!
