Daffodil Festival

This is turning out to be day 3 of an unexpected flower bonanza here on Snapdragon Stamps...maybe this will make spring hurry up and get here already?  Regardless, here's a scrapbook layout for your viewing pleasure.

Pics are from the daffodil festival I went to last March with Karyn and Karen.  Naturally, I had to use Daffodil Delight cardstock for my daffodil layout : )  I also used Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist, and the journaling is done in the retired Handsome Hunter because I like to use all kinds of dark colors for journaling rather than just limiting myself to black.

This might be the last bit of scrapping I'll get to do for the next month, though...I'm going to be one busy little bee between studying for the exam (at least only half the exam this time) and working on preparations for the Mad Hatter tea party.  Life is never boring, fo sho.

Thanks for stopping by today!  And by the way, the daffs are already coming up here this year...mid-March last year, most of them hadn't bloomed yet, but when I was out yesterday I saw a few overachievers already in bloom and it's still February, ha!

Live Happy with the Nachos

Happy Tuesday!  Are you ready for another spec-fabulous Nacho Average Color Challenge?  Here it is!

And here's what I made:

I figured it's been too long since my last Stippled Blossoms creation.  I added a Candy Dot on the corner (Rose Red, not Primrose Petals, but close enough to work I think) because the card just seemed to need a little something more.  The only thing that took a bit of time was cutting out the flower and the leaves.  Other than that, easy peasy!

Check out what the other Nachos have made, and then show us your own Smoky Primrose Pizzazz!

You're Lovely

I had a dream the other night that I woke up in the morning and we had several inches of snow on the ground, and then I woke up for reals and there was no snow and I was kinda disappointed.  We had snow here two years in a row in January and this year nothin', even though we kept hearing about how it was supposed to be such a cold winter this year.  Hmph.

Anyway, for today's card I tackled this week's SCS sketch challenge, which was one of those overly-complicated ones:

I actually left off one layer.  This is the maiden voyage for the Sale-a-Bration set You're Lovely--I lov stamps that coordinate with Framelits.  I got my color combo from Dynamic Duos, with the addition of Baked Brown Sugar for a neutral.

And now I need to get going...dogs to walk, kitchen to mop, lunch date to celebrate a friend's birthday.  Oh, I'd better check my card stash for a birthday card...

Thanks for stopping by today!
