Pre-Spring Cleaning!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!  I thought I'd do some pre-spring cleaning of the craft desk this morning before the parade.  I also challenged myself to only use what I found on my desk to play along with a few challenges before putting things away!  

The first card is for Freshly Made Sketches:



On a Kraft card base, I layered the Distress Watercolor piece that had been embossed with a Prima Wave Stencil, watercolored with Distress Oxides, and die cut with a Wonky Rectangle (MFT).  The Adirondack chair die cut was from Stampin' Up's Seasonal Framelits in my die cuts "to be used sometime" stash.

The second card was for the current Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge:




I went with the Middle Row, Across - Watercolor, any Type of Accents, & Monogrammed.  I layered the Concord & 9th 'H' monogram stamp & die cut onto a Neenah Solar White card base that had been splattered with Distress Ink watercolor in Squeezed Lemonade. Die cut florals and enamel dots were added as accents.  H is for...Happy Easter!

The last card today was for the CASology challenge:


I saw my first bumble bee of the season yesterday, so I had to go with it!  The bumble bee is from Stampin' Up's Dragonfly dreams and I added the sentiment with my old label maker.  This will be another lunchbox note for my DGS! 

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you're having a wonderful weekend...with or without green beer!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!!
