A Sneak Peek!!! and more.....

Happy Hump Day Everyone!! I can't believe half the week is over already. Time is just flying by. Today is a nice sunny day and it makes you feel like spring is on it's way. I just love bright colors at this time of year since it just makes it more cheerful even when you are suffering with the winter dulldrums. For that reason, I just had to play with yesterday's CC419 color challenge at Splitcoast Stampers. Karen chose the colors:
More Mustard
Tempting Turquoise
Daffodil Delight

I used a sneak peak from Our Daily Bread Designs : Finch Collage to be released on Monday, April 1 and the Antique labels and Designs stamps with the matching custom Antique Labels and Border dies. I embossed the image with the Basket Weave embossing folder from Stampin Up. All cardstock is also SU.

My next creation is one I made for Janette's gorgeous sketch, SC429, today and since I am just loving all the new Scripture, Quote, and Sentiment collections at Our Daily Bread Designs, I had to use one today.

Stamps: Our Daily Bread Designs: Scripture Collection 10 , Let the Earth Rejoice
Papers: Bo Bunny Little Miss, groovy guava, bitter chocolate
Dies: Elegant Ovals , Spellbinders Floral and classic Ovals
Accessories: Green Silk ribbon from May Arts

I hope you are having a great week and that more blessings are bestowed on you in the days to come!! Thanks for stopping by!! I would love you to leave a comment so I knew you were here.

Maria Matter said...: gorgeous creations Chris!
Hope you are doing well!
We're still homeschooling, though we will be finishing up by mid-april! I'll be taking a bloggy break to enjoy the Easter holiday & springtime happenings. We're planning a large garden this season & I'm looking forward to growing herbs for the first time and preserving as much as possible for our food pantry. Does your family garden?
Easter Blessings!
