{Shine Brightly}... CQC234 & RS107

Welcome to Spring Break, everyone!  The boys have all of this week off - in fact, two of them are enjoying a couple days of skiing with their grandparents right now.  I've taken a couple days off work to hang out with the one kid left at home...and you know what that means, right?  Uninterrupted crafty time!  I spent yesterday morning finishing up a table runner for the dining room buffet that coordinates with the table topper I made a few months ago...

But you didn't come to see *that* kind of crafting, did you?  Tuesday means it's time for a brand new Colour Q combo and Arielle has picked out a soft, spring color palette this week:

I realized that I didn't have any Apricot ink but I did manage to find a scrap of cardstock in my *leftovers* bin...thank goodness!  I used this week's Retrosketches to create this quick card:

The stamps are from Verve - yes, I love my Verve.  :)  The star die is from The Cat's Pajamas. 

That'll be it for me today - the weather hasn't been horrible here but it is supposed to start warming up so I am really looking forward to that.  Enjoy your week and I'll see you next week!

Bundle of Joy {CQC233} & {SSSC211}

Howdy,everyone! I've got a quick card to share with you all today - it's time for a new Colour Q combo and Arielle has chosen an awesome, spring-y bedding set as this week's inspiration:

I decided to use the Sweet Sunday Sketch again this week and whipped up a baby card using some left-to-gather-dust Verve awesomeness:

That's it for me - I'm sure enjoying this awesome spring weather but not the mud that inevitably comes with it.  It will dry up soon, right? ;)

Have a great week - next week is Spring Break for my boys so I'm sure looking forward to that...see you then!


 

CQC231... {Life Doesn't Have to Be Perfect...}

Hello, everyone! Well, it appears that spring may FINALLY be here in Central Alberta - the temperatures have been GORGEOUS and I've been able to get outside for a couple of walk/runs...that definitely lifts my spirits.  :)  There's something so refreshing about the smell of the spring air and the warmth of the sun...best day ever, right?

This week we've got another fun, St. Patrick's Day-inspired combo for you to play with over at the Colour Q...but this one has a twist.  One of the "colors" is newsprint!!  Take a peek:

I haven't played along over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch even once since I stepped away from the DT so I figured it was about time I remedy that!  This week's sketch is, as always, an awesome one that you can keep CAS or fussy it up - love that versatility:

Here in the Hubert household, we've been going through a few "bumps in the road" lately and I have to remind myself daily of this sentiment...

Best Day {Ever} - - CQC231 & STS14

Hello again, crafty peeps! Can you believe we are into March already?  This year is ZIPPING by - not sure I like that too much.  The only thing I *do* like is the fact that every day that passes means we are one day closer to SPRING!  I know I live in Canada but, gosh darn it, I'm kind of done with winter...just sayin'.  ;)

Today marks the first of a couple of weeks of St. Patrick's Day-inspired color combos over at the Colour Q Challenge.  Today's inspiration is this awesome clover tea set (currently out of stock...:( )

One of my favorite guy friends is having a birthday this weekend and the sentiment on my card is one of his favorite things to say... and actually has become one of mine too.  Even if we are having the crappiest day ever, all one of us has to say is "Best Day Ever" and we are both smiling...it could be worse, right?

The sketch is the last one from Seize the Sketch:

On the inside I stamped a basic "Happy Birthday"... and decorated the inside with a small panel of the polka dot paper across the bottom.  :)

I look forward to seeing what you create with these fun colors - thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great week.
