Happy Kitchen Sink Monday!

Good Morning Sistahs!

I am SO READY for Spring to be here already!  The forecast is calling for warm sunny weather, so I feel like Spring is finally knocking on our door.  In honor of Spring, (and my nieces and nephews,) I created these yummy Easter treat bags.

I used the 3 Step Honey Bunny set to create these goodies.  The Bunny was stamped as follows: 1.) Creamy Caramel (Stamped off) 2.) Creamy Caramel, 3.) Close to Cocoa, 4.) Soft Suede.  The grass was stamped using this color combo: 1.) Certainly Celery, 2.) Mellow Moss, 3.) Garden Green.

Now, before our Spring weather turns to snow again, I'm off to enjoy a quiet Monday.  Be sure to check out the fabulous projects the rest of the wonderfully talented Kitchen Sink Crew has created for your viewing pleasure.

Kitchen Sink Monday!

Good Morning Sistahs,

Every now and then it breaks my heart to have to make a sympathy card.  I generally try to keep them simple and understated because they carry such an important message.  One of my favorite things about Kitchen Sink Stamps is that you can create such depth with a few simple steps.

I used Multi Step Trees and Never a Loss 4 Words to create this card.  For the top of the tree I used my favorite green scheme: Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green.  For the trunk, I used Creamy Caramel (stamped off once), Creamy Caramel and Chocolate Chip.  Then, I used a sponge to create a grassy place for the tree to rest.  

Now, be sure to check out what the rest of the Amazingly Talented Crew has in store for you today:

Kitchen Sink Monday and PaperTemptress Treasure Hunt!

Good Morning Sistahs!

It's another beautiful day in the Kitchen...and we're teaming up with PaperTemptress to bring you some St. Patrick's Day Fun!  Today's Crew Creations all use the newly released Multi-Step Shamrocks & Clovers, AND the St. Patty's KSS Green Package from Paper Temptress!  For more information on how to enter to win a fabulous prize package, visit Paper Temptress' community blog.

What's a treasure hunt without a pot-o-gold?

 

I used the coins from the Multi Step Hanukkah set to fill my pot-o-gold.  (Stamped in order: 1-Barely Banana, 2-Apricot Appeal, 3-Summer Sun, 4-More Mustard.)  Then I used the lines from the Playful frames and Journaling set to create my rainbow.  The shamrocks along the bottom were stamped with the Multi Step Shamrocks & Clovers set (1-Certainly Celery, 2-Wild Wasabi, 3-Garden Green,) and the sentiment is from the Simple Sentiments Set.

For those of you who are playing along...you have fallen upon yet another clue:

Happy Kitchen Sink Monday and Color Throwdown Challenge

Good Morning Sistahs!

Happy Monday!  I am so excited to announce that this Wednesday March 19th, Kitchen Sink is going to be sponsoring Color Throwdown Challenge #83!  Woo Hoo!  Our very own Tammy is the host over at The Color Throwdown and we are so excited to play along.  The colors she picked for this next challenge are: 

Marigold Morning, Wild Wasabi, Bermuda Bay, and Melon Mambo

Here's my take on the challenge....and a challenge it was....

 

With all the Alice in Wonderland excitement buzzing around, I figured I'd follow that rabbit down his psychedelic rabbit hole...oh and create a belated birthday card at the same time.  *giggle  I used my all-time favorite KSS Set: 3-Step Honey Bunny.  I stamped each bunny using only 1 color, so for the first bunny I used Marigold Morning and stamped it off for steps 1, 2, and 3...but...for step 4 I just inked it up and stamped giving the bunny his richer details.  (See how easy it is to use these stamps even if you don't have a ton of colors?)  I followed the same recipe for the rest of the bunnies except I just switched from Marigold Morning to Melon Mambo and finally Bermuda Bay.  For the grass....I stuck to my traditional recipe: Certainly Celery, Wild Wasabi and Garden Green.  

The Color Throwdown Challenge doesn't start until Wednesday, but since we love you so much, you're getting just a teeny tiny headstart because you're such loyal blog followers.  So not only can you win some Kitchen Sink goodies by participating in our Crew Challenge, but you can also play along with us on the Color Throwdown Challenge and be entered twice.  Wow!

Now that you've checked out my project, be sure you pop on over to see what the rest of the crew has created for you.

The Greeting Farm Friday

Good Morning Sistahs!

I know it's been a while since I've had a Greeting Farm Friday project to share with you...but it is of course a very special card.  My dear friend Carisa is now past her due date with her precious baby boy, and I figured he didn't want to make his appearance until his very own card was posted and ready to go.  I have had this card FOREVER, and when I went to her baby shower, I managed to leave the card at home.  I have been promising to post it, but wanted to wait until The Greeting Farm officially released it for sale.  So here we are...in all it's glory...Oliver from the Oliver & Amelia - Oh Happy Day set.  

 

All the cardstock is Bazzill and I'm SO SORRY I don't know the names of all the colors.  I'll try to be better next time. *giggle.  The DP is something I found at Archiver's and I can't remember who makes it either.  (Wow...I'm really letting you all down today aren't I?)  Sorry.

Well Carisa, now you can have that baby boy!

Kitchen Sink Crew Challenge with Connie!

Good Morning Sistahs!

It's supposed to be cold and snowy today here in Colorado, so I hope everyone is staying nice and warm where ever you are!  There are SO MANY fun and wonderful things going on in the Kitchen this month!  First, I need to give a giant HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Tammy Hershberger, she's not only celebrating a birthday today, but she's also guest designing for us during the month of March!  Woo Hoo!  How lucky are we to have her back in the Kitchen?

Second, because it's the first Monday of the month, we also have Connie's Crew Challenge!  Holy Smokes is this going to be a fabulous month!!!

 

Connie's challenge is to have us do some MASKING!  Yep, masking is the perfect way to layer Kitchen Sink's fabulous images.  I personally LOVE to mask using a Post-it note, but I'm sure there are several ways to achieve this flawless look.  If you're so inclined...please share your tips!  

Here's my take on the challenge using Multi Step Little Lambs; a brand new set from tomorrow's release:

 

This set coordinates well with Hey Chick!, Ducks & Pigs, Kittens & Pups, Autumn Squirrel, and my all-time favorite, Honey Bunny.  

I decided to us a monochromatic theme here because I just KNOW these little lambs are blue from "missing ewe." *giggle.  Because I went with all blue, the recipe here is actually quite easy...Steps 1, 2, 3, and 4 were all done using Bashful Blue.  Then, finally, Step 5 was done using Ballet Blue a few times.  Aren't they the cutest sad lambs you've ever seen?  *giggle

Now that you've seen what I have to offer, make sure you hop on over and check out what the rest of this amazing crew has created for your visual pleasure:
