Mustang Monday Color Challenge
Today I am sharing this Stampin' Up only card at Wanda Rohlfing's Shack Scraps for her Mustang Monday Color Challenge. The colors for this challenge are Stampin' Up's Basic Gray, Melon Mambo, and Old Olive. The Stampin' Up stamps I have used include the I Love Lace background stamp, World of Dreams, and Work of Art. I also used a SU edge punch.

More Spring Blossoms
On a spring trip to Washington state 15 years ago, I saw yard after yard with beautiful bushes covered with hydrangeas blooming in glorious shades of pinks and blues and purples. They don't grow as well here in the Texas heat, but every spring I love seeing them turn up in stores just in time for Easter and Mother's Day. I saw the first one of the year this week so they were the inspiration for this week's Kitchen Sink Stamps cards. (post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps)

Spring Arrives in Texas
Texans know that spring has truly arrived when the Texas roadsides are blanketed with bluebonnets and Indian paintbrushes. Last week in my neck of the woods, the paintbrushes showed up and this week the bluebonnets are beginning to appear. If you want to see our grand state covered with glorious wild flowers, this is the time of year to hit the road.
To honor this annual arrival of our state flower, I have used Kitchen Sink Stamps' Multi Step Bluebonnets to create my 10 minute and 20 minute cards. (Post sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps).
