Spring Color Inkspiration #1

Welcome to a new CHALLENGE here on my blog. I always find myself drawn to color combinations and so I have decided to issue a color challenge.

I don't know about where you live, but here in AZ, the weather has been amazing lately. A couple weeks ago it even got to be a little bit *hot* to me. It was like 89 degrees or something, already, in March . . . anyway, this week we seem to have gotten a little more breezy and the sun is shining and it is high 70's - Low 80's -- basically perfect SPRING weather. I was at the grocery store the other day and I bought myself some tulips, because nothing says SPRING like tulips.

YOUR COLORS:
Green Galore
Certainly Celery
Apricot Appeal
Cameo Coral and/or Only Orange

Happy Stamping! If you choose to upload your card to SCS or Papercraft Planet, please use the key word ACI (for Amanda's Color Inkspiration, no spaces) so I can see all your lovely creations.

Please feel free to link your creations below in the comments section of this post. I will be drawing from the uploaded cards (using the keyword ACI) on SCS monthly, and will be sending out fun blog candy (yet TBD). Oh and tell your friends -- this will now be a weekly thing here . . . I thought it would be fun to have color inkspiration challenges every Thursday, because I always need something to help me make it through to the weekend, so check back for another one next week.

Hope you have a fantastic Easter Weekend!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

(SSD014) - Ear Infections and Pneumonia

I apologize for my late posting today . . . the countdown to being 40 weeks preggo continues.  This week has been crazy out of control already, and it's only Tuesday!  YIKES!   Friday night Baby E was running a fever and really congested.  We gave him tylenol/motrin, but he would not take in fluids, and I was worried about him, so I slept on he floor beside his bed (stupid thing to do at 39 weeks pregnant).  Anyway, I cried a bit, and when I woke up in the morning, I had the most intense pain in my right ear ever!  Seriously OW!   Saturday, Mic took the baby to the pediatrician, where he was diagnosed with double ear infections, and pneumonia -- he had a breathing treatment there, and an antibiotic shot . . . and his lungs were sounding much more clear when he left.  Late Saturday night his fever broke, much to our relief.   Sunday was an okay day, mostly we just all rested -- an interesting thought occurred to me while I was on th...
