Birthday Wishes... {CQC239} & {SSSC217}

Happy Tuesday again!!! I can't believe how quickly the weeks have been slipping by - it's like I blink and I miss it...please tell me I'm not the only one????

This week's Colour Q combo is full of bright, spring-y colors...just what the doctor ordered for curing the when-is-spring-going-to-get-here blues.  :)  Take a look:

I thought I'd click on over to the Sweet Sunday Sketch to see what Karen's got going on over there this week and, wouldn't you know it, the PERFECT sketch for the flowers I was planning to use:

And, yes...it's ANOTHER birthday card.  My mother-in-law just came and bought every single one I had in my stash so now it's time to replenish...

So, that's it for me.  I've got a fairly quiet week planned - a couple of classes at the gym and, hopefully, a few outdoor runs to get me ready for my first 10K of the season May 24.  I have NOT been faithful in my training so it should be interesting... but who can complain when a weekend in the mountains is the reward?   

Have a great week, everyone! 

{Happy Birthday} CQC238 & RS111

Welcome back! I hope you all enjoyed your Easter weekend.  Ours was spent quietly at home - the boys watching TV while I took some time to finish up a quilt top that has been lingering for far too long.  We all had yesterday off too so I spent a little while in my craft room making a card for this week's Colour Q challenge...take a peek:

As usual, I surfed around my tried-and-true challenges for a sketch that I could use and found this fun one with a wonky panel over at Retrosketches:

Certainly nothing fancy about this card - I never seem to have enough birthday cards (and my MIL loves to come and take some off my hands from time to time) so that's why I chose to use this fabulous sentiment from Verve again.  :)

*fingers crossed*  It seems that spring has FINALLY sprung around here which can only mean one thing...yard work - and lots of it!  You forget how much *stuff* gets buried under that mountain of snow each winter.  :)


Okie dokie - have a fantastic week!

{Life is Good} ... CQC237 & RS110

Hello and thank you for stopping by this week! Sorry I wasn't around last week - time just got away from me and the card I should have made didn't happen.  I have had a LOT on my plate lately and I foresee some changes coming in the future - good changes.  :)  In the meantime, I've got a brand new Colour Q to share with you all.  Take a peek:

As usual, I left it to the last minute and had to find a CAS, quick sketch to get it done and this week"s Retrosketches worked perfectly:

This sketch was great for using up some of those scraps in the scrap box and took less than 20 minutes to get 'er done.  :)

Thanks again for stopping by - enjoy your week.  Hopefully you will all be able to enjoy family and friends this Easter weekend... I'm sure looking forward to relaxing and taking some time to count my blessings. 

See you next week!

{That's How I Roll}... CQC235 & RS108

Hello again!  It seems like just yesterday I was musing about it being March already and here we are into APRIL!  I swear - the older I get, the faster time goes.  It hardly seems fair... :)

This week Arielle's got another palette of fun colors over at the Colour Q - a couple of them are the same as last week so you may even have them out on your desk right now...take a peek:

 For my card, I used this week's Retrosketches...perfect for a quick, CAS card:

I hope that spring is in full swing wherever you are - Mother Nature hasn't been so nice to us over the last week.  The snow just keeps coming but the forecast  says it's supposed to warm up by the weekend...I'll believe it when I see it!    Thanks for stopping by - see you next week!
