Weather Predictions...

Well, luckily I actually made it to work today!  We still had a 2 hour delay, and so school was a little crazy and stressful!

With all of this snow, I've been craving the springtime!  Luckily, I just got Lawn Fawn's Partly Cloudy for Christmas from my dear sister, and so I put that darling umbrella to good use!  Here's my first card:
I just can't get enough of that cute little umbrella!  I also love this color scheme from the Max and Whiskers paper pack from Basic Grey.  This card was inspired by the City Crafter Challenge Blog 41 Sketch for this week:
 
 And then next, I just couldn't stop myself with those cute umbrellas!  I love the sentiment in this set that says "Have a Happy Shower!" and so I wanted to make a bridal/baby shower card, and here's what I came up with:
Seriously, how adorable are those umbrellas?  I just can't get enough!  I also love that DCVW patterned paper, and I used the skinnier raindrops from this set to make a little green raindrop edge for each side!  This card was inspired by Curtain Call Act 64 Color Challenge:
Those colors are just SO fun!  =) I had such a great time making these cards!  Thank you to my dear sister for getting me this awesome stamp set for Christmas!  Here's a picture of the two of us recently, she's my absolute bestest!!!  =)
Well readers, this will probably be my last card post until Monday!  However, be sure to check back on Monday or Tuesday to get more details on my 6 month blog candy giveaway!  =)  Happy weekend to all and thanks for reading as always!

  2. What a sweet stamp set you got for Christmas!! I love the umbrellas and weather/shower sentis. You did a super job with the challenges, too, Kristy. I hope that your day at school is less stressful tomorrow. My kids had a 90-minute delay today and I've gotta say, that threw our whole day off!!
