Weekly Inspiration @ FTHS

Hi everyone!! My 2nd post of the day :)
 
Here is my inspiration for this week. Don't you just LOVE these birdbrains?
I used Party Hat Birdbrain and I had some paper in mind while coloring him. I think he looks like he needs a big hug....LOL.

Paper: My Minds Eye Party Time by Christy Lyle, scraps
Coloring Medium: Copics, Gelly Roll Clear Star pen
Other Supplies: EyeLet OutLet Enamel Dots, Impression Obsession 016-E Banner Die, Jillibean Soup Bean Stalks Twine Navy


I hope you get a chance to stop by and join our weekly sketch challenge @ FTHS as well. Plus, the new SOTM has been released. It is so perfect for this time of the year. Spring and all the birds are coming back. "Our" yellow finches are back as well as our Baltimore Orioles. I have my orange jelly out and he has been 'nibbling' at it. I just wish he would stay longer so I can get a nice picture of him.

#226 Anything Goes

Welcome back for another challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge!
This week we have 2 awesome sponsors:
 
Our challenge this week is :
# 226 Anything Goes
 
My image this week is from Paper Creator
 
I choose Sassy Sally In Her Inner Tube
What I really love about this image is that it's already colored
**happy dance**. Not sure about you, but sometimes I just don't feel like coloring my image and just being able to put a card together in a snap!!
 
 My DP is from a stack appropriately called Fun in the Sun! Plus, I used a couple of fun dies that I bought recently @ the Scrapbooking Expo. When I was thinking of how I wanted to embellish my card, I thought what about 'rubber' ducks! This was my 1st card using this die and I am so glad I purchased it. So many uses that I can see for it to be used!
 
Card Recipe:
Image: Paper Creator / Sassy Cheryl Illustrations - Sassy Sally In Her Inner Tube
Paper: DCWV Fun in the Sun
Coloring Medium: None: pre-colored image :)
Other Supplies: Memory Box Mamma & Baby Ducks die, Spellbinders Celebrations Pierced Circles dies, QuicKutz Circle dies

I hope you can join us for our challenge this week! We would love to see what you have created.
 
Thanks!!
Michelle
