The Wacky Watercooler Spring Fever Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to a new Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop.  With so many of us experiencing massive snowfalls, ice and just plain all around bad weather, it seemed appropriate to have share a wee bit of Spring Fever with all of you.  I know I'm ready to see some warm temperatures that stay around for more than an hour or two.

My first project is a CASE (Copy And Share Everything) of a design from Jackie Susnik.  I fell in love with the simplicity of the design and loved how she brought it all together.  I didn't have the same stamp or patterned paper she used so I used the 2013-2015 In Colors, which I will be sorry to see retired at the end of May, and the Butterfly Basics stamp set from the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  For the flower, I used Pistachio Pudding and Coastal Cabana.

Stamp Sets:  Butterfly Basics, Teeny Tiny Wishes; Inks:  Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Pistachio Pudding, StazOn Black; Card Stock:  Coastal Cabana, Stacked with Love Designer Series Paper Stack, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  Blender Pen, Pearl Basic Jewels, SNAIL Adhesive

Here is Jackie's design.

For my next project, I CASEd the design found on page 18 of the 2015 Occasions Catalog.  I've had the Painted Petals stamp set for a while now and have not taken the time to use it.  I must say that I really do like it.  Now that I've initiated it, I know I'll be using it more in future projects.

Stamp Set:  Painted Petals; Inks:  Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry, Sahara Sand, Tuxedo Black Memento; Card Stock:  Rich Razzleberry, Whisper White; Accessories & Tools:  SNAIL Adhesive, Stampin' Trimmer

My final project is a very simple little basket.  I'm planning to make one for each of my grandchildren for May Day.  I just might make them for my big kids, too!  They like to get treats just like the younger ones.  This is a project that we made at the January meeting of my local demo group.  We get together every other month to swap, learn a new project or technique and talk a little business.  It's an enjoyable time and a way to spend time with other crafty individuals.  Of course, theirs will have some candy in them.  I didn't have any on hand so I used some pretty silk flowers to fill my basket.

Stamp Set:  Petal Potpourri; Inks:  Bermuda Bay, Tangerine Tango; Card Stock:  Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stack, Tangerine Tango, Whisper White;  Accessories & Tools:  Envelope Punch Board, Flower Medallion Punch, 7/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Pearl Basic Jewels, Sticky Strip, Glue Dots
