Stampin! with Jaydee

Happy Sunday.

It's the fabulous Joanne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's theme week.  It might not feel like Spring around here yet, but making a card for our challenge this week inspired me to bring out the spring colors!  This challenge was the perfect opportunity to ink up a set I got this time last year from The Greetery called "Springtime".  Here's a sneak peek:

So, from the sneak peek, you probably saw that our challenge is:

I was certainly inspired by all the pastel colors from the inspiraation photos - and, of course, the little bunny!  I stamped and die-cut the elements - the card was really easy to put together.   Here's my card:

I created the clouds in the background using a stencil from MFT - the raindrops are from a stamp within the Springtime stamp set.  I added a couple of rhinestones for a little sparkle and kept the area around the focal image clean and simple. 

I hope you will join us and play along with Joanne's theme.  We would love to see your spring inspired cards!

On a personal note:

Well, packing is progressing.  We have 11 days until we move and have finished packing up the spare dishes, clothes that we aren't wearing, office goodies, etc.  I've packed one box of crafting stuff, but will need to do a couple more today.  I was looking at our kitchen yesterday as I was packing away dishes and realized that we were moving from 7 lower cabinets to more than double that!  Most of them are in the central island.  The island in the new kitchen really is one of those where I can see myself rolling out miles of pasta or pie dough... laying out rows of beautifully decorated cakes and cupcakes and rows of hot, steamy, melty, oh so gooey chocolate chip cookies!!!   well, that's all good in my head... but I can't bake to save my life!   As soon as I remembered that, my Martha Stewart fantasy thought bubble burst :-)  

However,  thought I would share a photo I took when we went to measure up - then you can see what inspired my Martha fantasies!  The island has 10 cupboards and 10 drawers.  Still think it would be the perfect place for gorgeous cupcakes :-)

I haven't had much time in my craft room.  I managed to get in and make cards for the next couple of weeks to keep up with my design team commitments.  If I do manage to fit some crafting time in during the week, I will pop back in and share the caard with you.  IN the meanatime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift tonight.

Hugs

Jaydee
