Pile It On Meets the Pink Elephant

Hello crafty peeps!

I wish Mother Nature would decide what she's doing - the last 24 hours have given us wind, rain, snow and a *bit* of sunshine... I know it is the long weekend in Alberta and it's a given that the weather will likely not cooperate with those who like to go camping but GOLLY GOSH!

Lori and I were going to go for a nice leisurely walk yesterday afternoon but ten minutes into it, the wind started and by the time we got back to the car, the rain wasn't far behind and it was COLD.  SO, what's a girl to do?  Come home and craft, of course!  I finished this card last night but couldn't post it because *someone* (DS#2) left my camera on after he decided to take random pictures of my computer screen...what a goof!

I have had this inspiration picture from the Pile it On Challenge since Monday - the softness of the room is very soothing and I used the colors as my inspiration:

I found another Monday challenge - the time it's a sketch from The Pink Elephant - and got to work:

Recipe - Stamps: Baroque Motifs (SU!),  Rose (Little Paper Shop)  Ink: Chocolate Chip  Paper: Very Vanilla, Blush Blossom, Garden Green, Chocolate Chip, SU! DP  Accessories: Swiss Dots & Victoria embossing folders, adhesive pearls, flower punch, Very Vanilla satin ribbon, hodgepodge hardware, oval punch

I haven't used ANY of this Styled Vanilla HPH --- until now--- so this card also qualifies for the ABC Challenge of "U" - unused stash!

As much as I want the sun to come out, I am kind of hoping that it doesn't so I have an excuse to stay inside and craft instead of doing the yard work that is calling my name...*wink*  Hopefully I will be back tomorrow with a couple more new ones! See you then!
