It's a Dreamsicle Summer

It's been a while since I've entered any challenges.  But I decided to play along this time with the Fun in the Sun Challenge at the Some Odd Girl Facebook Group. When I saw the challenge I knew I had the perfect image. "Popsicle Tobie".

Welcome Spring

I thought Spring was here for the year, but it was postponed yesterday after we got 5" of snow. It didn't bother me because I like plowing the lots at the office complex where my sister and mom work. But I still wanted to make a Spring card for the Some Odd Girl March challenge. See it here.  This month's sketch was:

When Some Odd Girl http://www.someoddgirlblog.com/ has new stamps come out, if you comment on the posts, you can win one of the new images.  That is how I acquired the "Watering Can Tia" image.  I won it! I love all their images.  They are great to color and so expressive. So here is my card.

Well the snow is melting and I hate when it's all messy. But Sunday is Easter and I think Spring will stick around this time.  Then before we know it, the temperatures will be in the 90's and we'll be back in the house and the air conditioning. hahaha

Getting Ready for St Patrick

Put away the reds and pinks, and get out the greens (and oranges).  It's time for a St Patrick's Day card.  I found this month's challenge at Some Odd Girl Blog.  See it here.  And thought I'd play.  It's a sketch challenge.

So I got the "Flag Wavin Mae" digi from their store.  http://www.someoddgirl.com/index.php/shop and came up with this card.
