IB16 Hung Out To Dry

Happy Thursday, peeps!  It's time for another Inspired By challenge, a perfect one for a blustery spring day, of which we have had many!  One of my favorite smells is the one sheets and linens get after being hung on the washline, a bit like this:

My sweet, generous friend Teri gave me this SU set called Just A Line...can you believe it's from 1997?  I just love the line drawings that SU used to have!  And isn't it perfect for Laurel's inspiration photo?

I stamped this with Memento ink so I could use my Blends to color it in; the few colors that I didn't have Blends for, I used regular SU markers.  Those Blends really blend nicely--good name for them, LOL!  I did hand-draw the yellow gingham on the one apron, just for fun!

I tucked a little "hello" from Beautiful Bouquet under the sleeping kitty, a little baker's twine bow, and added some DSP from the Domestic Goddess line from a few years back for my background:

And on the inside, the sentiment, which I colored with a Pool Party Blend:

You might find other ways that this photo can inspire you...colors, spring, you name it!  We can't wait to see what you come up with, and be sure to get some more inspiration from the others on the DT at the Inspired By blog!

Wearing Mommy's glasses:

Enjoy your day and be blessed!

SPDMIX12 Just a Line

Happy Friday, peeps!  Yay, the weekend is here! I have my second card for the Sugar Peas Design Mix it Up Challenge, using an oldie but goodie stamp set:

My sweet, generous friend Teri gifted me with this set called Just A Line, from 1997; I loved these line art images that SU used to have!  I got out some ink pads and my aquabrush and went to work!  First I stamped the image on SU's thick cardstock with Stazon ink and then just colored away; since it was a large image, I didn't color the background (plus I was sure I would mess it up!) and just filled in the images loosely!  I love this sweet little cat napping in the sun:

along with the little bluebirds:

and I wish I had some aprons like these....mine look a wee bit tattered compared to these pretty ones!

And on the inside:

I thought this fit with the laundry theme of the challenge!  Once I finished coloring, I diecut it with a Lil'Inker Stitched Rectangle die and mounted it on a card with a mat of Graphic 45's Secret Garden Patterns & Solids....a perfect country finish!  Thanks for looking!

Tomboy that she is, one of Cassidy's favorite gifts was a Nerf gun, LOL!  This one can even shoot around corners...John told her she could practice on the squirrels that steal my bird seed!

She showed Grampy how to load the bullets:

and of course, he had to take a turn!  I am not sure who was more excited about it, John or Cassidy!

Enjoy your day!
