Double Challenge with a new digi

Isn't this daffodil fabulous?! Last night I was chatting with Lee & she told me her daughter was updating her blog with a daffodil she had drawn. Jaimee showed me the image & I begged & pleaded for her to make it into a digi image for me! Literally a few minutes layer, this beauty arrived in my inbox. I gave her a few other suggestions & thought of a couple more, I KNOW she'll be thrilled! *grin*

The sketch is for The Pink Elephant Challenge #96. The Creative Cottage Challenge was to use the theme Spring Has Sprung

Tuesday Trigger: A Citrus Celebration

Here is my card for this week's Tuesday Trigger I can cook by experimenting with a little of this & a little of that... but to be honest, inspiration challenges give me fits!!! It's like I have a challenge police on my shoulder telling me that the inspiration photo had orange in it & I used yellow... or that the polka dots were white. Yikes!! I over think them waaaaay too much & told my friend Lee last night that I needed to challenge myself to do more inspiration challenges.

I made this for Forgotton Stamp Friday FSF15. Can you believe that Bo Bunny retired this dp & didn't tell me???? *sigh* I've only had it for... umm... awhile... of course, I didn't fall in love with it until just recently. And now... it's retired. I'm on the quest for another favorite dp now!

Caught a bug?

There is a lot of sickies going around & Lee challenged us to make a get well card. I am going to use this card for this month's Cards for a Cause on SCS. I didn't put a sentiment on the card because the rules asked that there wasn't any get well cards. I have a "heard you caught a bug" sentiment, but I thought that was a little close to a get well sentiment.

Stamps: Caught a Bug Whipper Snapper
c/s: black, white
DP: Penny Lane polka dots
