ColourQ #75

Hello again!

Since I've already had the "colours" for ColourQ #75 out on my desk...I went ahead and made another card for this challenge.




I've used one of my favourite stamp sets, "Look up!", from Practicing Creativity.

CPS #208 and ColourQ #75

Hello everyone!

I'll try to knock two challenges out of the way, something I haven't done in a long time!
CPS-Card Sketches #208 and ColourQ #75.

Here is my card:

Patterned paper seems to save my life quite a lot lately, because I realized I don't have as many ink pads as I would like. Or definitely not in these colo(u)rs.

Anyone have a good suggestion where I would get some good inks? I used to get my inks from PTI, but some of them are not up to my expectations (and I think they interrupted their ink line). Are Stampin' Up! inks good?

I'm afraid I'll have to keep it short today, since I already hear my little boy making noise from the other room. He must be awake!

I hope you have a great sunny day!

Curtain Call Color Challenge #71

*Running, running*, gasping for air...I'm almost there!

Only hours away from the deadline of this challenge! I'm glad I'm on time, although the pictures had to be sacrificed a little, being taken in the evening.

These two cards are for Curtain Call Color Challenge #71.

It's a perfect spring weather in southern Texas, that's why Mircea and I take full advantage of it and take as many walks as we can, before the brutal heat decides to come and stay for 6 months!

Not being able to be outdoors for longer than 5 minutes in the summer is one of the hardest things for me here. I love being outside, love my hiking boots!

I can tell you that we found the perfect toddler stroller: Jeep Cherokee Sport Stroller (at least Mircea "drives" something more "sophisticated" ha ha). I was looking for a lightweight stroller, easy to use while traveling, especially in airports, but I wasn't all that crazy about plain bare-bones umbrella strollers. Now I feel more confident traveling with Mircea to Romania in May. So excited to introduce Mircea to my side of the family. My dad and brother have never seen my son in person. Two more months...not that long!
