Here’s a little inspiration for today, the sweetness of spring, the delicacy of a spider’s web, and a little sketch by me!

Just thought I would share my entry, Heavenly Bodies, to Helga’s monochromatic Twinchie challenge. Twinchies are 2" square pieces of artwork and for this challenge they needed to be in one color family. I just got done reading one of my favorite books by C.S. Lewis Out of the Silent Planet so I was inspired to make my Twinchie with planets, moons and stars. I hope you are inspired to create something heavenly today

Speaking of Heavenly, I also got to make this sweet baby card for a neighbor of mine that is a new mom, Little Angel. I used a Stampin’ Up card and some of the beautiful paper from my Paper Source card contest.

Hurry over to Paper Source online to check out the Mother’s Day Card contest! I hope you are also able to vote for my card, Here’s Looking at you Mom. It was a neat opportunity to create a card from 100% Paper Source products, and also a challenge, to stay in that perimeter. I got inspired to use some family photos and created 2 cards, one of my Mom and one of my Grandma, both in the same colorways, but with different styling.

I was so happy to enter Bear Bit’s Blossom Spring Giveaway, but I was totally surprised to win this little bear! Ginger Brame is a fabulous Bear artist, photographer and blog owner that has been my privilege to get to meet through her blog giveaway! Thank you so much to the Talented Ginger! I thought I would share a few photos of blossom with everyone. Ciao

I had so much fun participating in the "Create Art Share Happiness" Postcard swap. For this challenge 3 different collage sheets were needed in fabulous Pink and Green! I pulled out my Watercolor paper and paints to create pale pink and teal green as the backgrounds. I then used the fabulous Claudine Hellmuth Studio Matte Medium as the glue for all of the lovely Art Chix images as well as some paper scraps from my collection. With my 6 postcard entries I will receive 2 collage image sheets and 6 postcards from different artists. Can’t wait to receive my swap items and share with you guys! Bye for now
