And Heerrreee'sss Spring. . .Wait

Huh. . .I'm looking at the calendar and it says "May."  My trees, yard and flowers all have that May look about them - spring greens, in need of winter clean-out and early sproutlets.  So, why, on this newly green earth is the temperature at 90??  Ugh!

I hope all those Moms out there had a wonderful Mother's Day.  Here, my own mother was out of town, so it was just one visit to see my MIL and then home for the remainder of the day.  Where, as we moms all know, it's business as usual.  I printed off my daily sketches from the Big Picture Class, 28 Days of Sketches, Round 2, that I'm taking; they're really cool.  I did think about what I could do with each of the sketches, but getting kits out the door was at the top of my list.  I almost dug out a kit and photos late last night, but at 11:00 pm, I'd have had to tackle clearing off my work table, and frankly, just wasn't in the mood.  

We did celebrate the 12 y.o.'s 2-1 win during their last regular season soccer game; pretty sure that was the only win for the Spring season.  But hurray for finishing out with a win!  Now we have a week off until the tourney we are playing over Memorial Day weekend.  The 12 y.o. has his Medieval Day tomorrow, where he will be Leonard Da Vinci.  The 14 y.o. has his last week of classes this week.  The 16 y.o. is, or better be, deep in study-for-final-mode.  And the 4 y.o. has, I believe, hit his stride in the "it's all about me, who are you" phase.  Whoever coined the term, "terrible two's" clearly didn't have a 4 y.o. at the time they coined it.  Oiy!

And for you, you lucky people, you get the first of this week's inspiration, found on the Apron Strings Color Theory board, over at Pinteret.

You can find this pallet in both the Smaller than a Breadbox January '13 kit (the October Afternoon Woodland Park) and in the Bigger than a Breadbox September '12 kit (Echo Park So Happy Together.)

The first one here (January '13 Smaller kit), Jennifer Halleck focused on the Teal and Green, by using the "B" sides that included some of the Pinks, to create her layout.

Then second here (September' 12 Bigger kit), by Nancy Longo, she used the full pallet to highlight a home still fondly remembered.

Now, remember it doesn't matter if you've used these particular kits already, or didn't get them.  Dig through your stash to pull another kit with the pallet or supplies inspired by the colors.  Then upload your work to the comments section for your chance to win an American Crafts Hello Sunshine packet.

  

Happy Tuesday,
