Artistic Outpost Celebration and GC 45

With spring break my blog has gotten rather neglected, but I wanted to make sure to post this card for the March Artistic Outpost contest and Gingersnap Creations celebration challenge.  With the winter we've had this year, I certainly think it's time to celebrate spring.  I used stamps from Artistic Outpost's Serenity collection.  It is nearly 70 degrees here today and tomorrow it's supposed to be 80.  Hooray spring!

GC43 Three Colors You Love

The color challenge this month at Gingersnap Creations is to use any three colors you love.  I chose purple, pink and black.  I also used white as a neutral.
We've had three lovely days of spring weather here in St. Louis.  Loving it!

GC44 Birthday Greetings

Gingersnap Creations is celebrating their 1st birthday by hosting a birthday card challenge.  I had to make a card for my son's birthday anyway.  Actually, I'm late, but since their dad is out of town (again!), we are celebrating the twins' birthday a bit late this year.  Here's his card.

GC42 Spicy Supply Lace and/or Fibers

Ooh, I love both lace and fibers so I knew this would be a really fun challenge.  See the Gingersnap Creations Challenge here.  I made this ATC with images from Artchix Studios and some pretty, blue yarn from my stash.  It's nearly March and it's still cold here in St. Louis.

GC40 Numbers challenge

Use numbers anywhere on the card--this challenge from Gingersnap Creations is as easy as that.  I needed to make a birthday card for a good friend anyway, so decided to combine that with this challenge.  My friend loves French things so I thought the Eiffel Tower stamp (Sweet Pea stamps) worked perfectly. The number stamp is from Artistic Outpost.
