~ Happy Spring Time Hello ~ for SOUS & WW



I am extremely late on everything this week.  Way too much stuff going on and it didn't help that I did something to my back on Saturday and the pain has been unbearable :(
I combined my two challenges for today and made one card.  The first challenge is a sketch for Stuck On U Sketches.  The design team is working with a very pretty sketch by Sandi C.  I rotated the sketch to better accommodate my card elements.  Here is the lovely sketch:


The challenge over at Whimsical Wednesday is "Think Spring and/or Easter".  You MUST include the color yellow or pink.  I opted for both :)
We have another generous sponsor for this week's challenge:
  Designs on Cloud Nine - $20 Dollar Gift Certificate



The Whimsical Designs Team is featuring images and cut files from the Birds and Bees set, provided by Designs on Cloud 9. I used the Birdhouse 1 and cut it on designer paper using my Silhouette. The dp is by S.E.I. from the Chick-a-dee collection.
I added flower bling centers to the birdhouse flowers and a tiny heart sticker to the heart. The heart and flowers on the birdhouse are part of the Birds and Bees set.
The tulips and picket fence are Martha Stewart punches. I added Ice Stickles to the tulips and the birdhouse flowers.
The sweet sentiment is by Whimsical Designs from the Everyday Sentiments set.
If you're looking for a fun sketch challenge or maybe in the mood for Spring and Easter, head on over to Stuck On U Sketches and Whimsical Designs for loads of inspiration and ideas! We would be delighted to have you play along with us and see your take on our challenge!

Entering in the following challenges:
City Crafters #149 ~ Shades of Pink
Crafty Sentiments ~ Pretty in Pink
Cuttin and Stampin #9 ~ Use Flowers
Oldie But a Goodie ~ Feeling Floral (my SEI paper and ribbon is 2+ years old)
