Tranquility NOW, Dangit

Y'all, I'm having a bad hair day.  Last night Ryan closed out my internet browser and I'm like excuse me child I had 37 tabs open because I NEED THEM and I wasn't able to recover the tabs, so now I need to redo the hour and a half of research on summer camps for him and this morning Daphne chewed up some stuff in my craft room while I was in the shower and then had the gall to try to cute her way out of being in trouble.  And I'm literally having a bad hair day, I don't even know what is up with my hair today but I put it up on pigtails so that has to make it better.  Couldn't get worse than whatever it was doing before.

Grumpy grumpy grump grump grumpety.

Okay, I have a cheery card today so let's see if it helps me out.

I just looked through all of my SU! stamps over the weekend and pulled out around 200 sets that I set aside to possibly sell and I still have a huge collection and also since Daphne ate my occasions catalog (I do keep those for inspiration forever) I had to do an order this morning and I did buy one new stamp set and die bundle but anyway.  While I was looking through the stamps I found a lot of sets that made me think hey, I wanna make something with that, so I brought out Tranquil Tulips and Part of My Story for today and surprise, there are no bunnies in sight this time.

Check out the Retro Rubber challenge:

I went down the center with die cut - flowers - gems.  Tranquil Tulips is the same age as Ryan, so 8 years old; Part of My Story is a bit younger at 6 years old, but still retro in stamp years.

Next up is this week's CASE-ing Tuesday Sketch:

Once again I don't have the dies shown, but I found one in the Thoughtful Expressions dies that was a similar shape so I think it works.  And I switched my sentiment to the left side because my tulip stems were in a tangle.

I chose tulips for the Color Throwdown:

I used Soft Succulent, Daffodil Delight, and Calypso Coral for my colors.

And now it's time for me to go make a cuppa tea and grab some M&Ms, I need the big guns to get out of this grumpy mood while I redo all my summer camp research.  Check you later, kids.
