Peeps Challenge #4 . . . Okay to CASE!
Hi gals! Lucky thing Terri is on the ball, she reminded me it was my turn to post a challenge. I am getting ready to go out of town so I chose the easy route . . . CASEing!!! Yes, you have permission to CASE. I really enjoyed Nichole's challenge during the last blog hop to CASE one of the design team members, this time you are to CASE Nichole herself. And here are the parameters. Choose a card or project Nichole made from one of the last two releases and using a set NOT from that release, make a similar card. I chose her project here 
where she used the dahlias and the new color. I pulled out the dots background set and used Berry Sorbet, Hibiscus Burst and Raspberry as my colors stamped on vellum and Berry Sorbet for my colored paper strip. Berry Sorbet and Raspberry buttons for my button 'stack' at the end of the color strip and a sentiment from Damask Designs. Can't wait to see what you come up with! Ready, set, CASE Nichole!

Papertrey Peeps Challenge #3
Hello, Peeps! This is the first challenge I've ever issued, so bear with me! I thought I would give you all the challenge that I have been working on the last few days and that is a birthday card for my sister, who is also my best friend. Her birthday is March 2nd, so the timing works out very well for this challenge. Her favorite color is orange, bright orange, and I always have so much trouble working that color into a feminine card. (Mine usually end up looking sports-team imspired, which can be nice, but none of my sister's favorite teams feature orange!) So that is the challenge: a feminine card featuring orange zest. Bonus points if you work in Spring Rain, her second favorite color or a tea theme, since tea is one of her favorite things in the world.
If you don't have orange zest, substitute another orange or a color that you don't use very often. Good luck and have fun.
My devious plan is to have a bunch of cards I can CASE for my sister for future events! :) So thanks in advance for taking part in this challenge.
Here's my card! I used Friends 'til the End to stamp the background on Orange Zest cardstock. I made a another layer with the label imanges from tea time stamped in Versamark and Fresh Snow on Summer Sunrise. The teapot is embossed and stamped with Polka Dot Basics in Versamark on Spring Rain.

Challenge 2: Inspired by Packaging!
Hi ya Peeps!
I hope you're ready for a new challenge?! Thanks so much to Lori for the last one, I had a blast spending ages deciding which button would feature on my card for that challenge!
So onto our new challenge....well I dunno about you but I tend to be inspired by just about everything around me. I recently found the packaging of my muesli a huge source of inspiration (as well as tasty) and the PTI colour combo just jumped out at me!
Therefore my challenge to you is to pick any one of the products by Dorset Cereals and think about using the colours featured on it on a creation of your own (it doesn't have to be restricted to cards!) Obviously some colours may struggle to match with a PTI colour so feel free to use other supplies or just pick a product that features all PTI colours. If you look closely at each package you'll see that they nearly all contain at least a bit of white text so feel free to use that if you want a neutral colour to balance things out a little!
Here's lots of different colour combos to take your pick from. If you want to check out bigger pictures then you can go to their website here and use the tabs just below their header to check out their different products!
For my example I picked some scrummy porridge that really jumped out to me:
It features New Leaf, Spring Moss, Pure Poppy, Dark Chocolate and White in terms of PTI colours. Here's my creation using that colour combo:
Now who says you can only use a holiday stamp set for that holiday? My DP here was created by stamping the tree from Holiday Tree. I thought it was kinda cool that it reflects the design on the packaging too!
Card Recipe
Stamps: Holiday Tree/Daily Designs/Daily Designs Sentiments
Ink: Dark Chocolate/Spring Moss/New Leaf
Card: Dark Chocolate/Pure Poppy/Spring Moss/Stamper's Select White/New Leaf
Accessories: New Leaf Twill Ribbon/Martha Stewart Border Punch/Circle Nestabilities/Cuttlebug
To enter just click on Mister Linky at the bottom of this post. The most important thing is to be inspired and to have fun so don't stress, there's no rules, so go get inky! I can't wait to see what you all create!
