It's a Totally INKY IMPRESSIONS Hump Day!!!

It's Wednesday already and the week is just about half over!! WOW!!
It seems to go by so fast!!  I'm still looking forward to the weekend though!!
Today is all about Inky Impressions!  First, there is a brand new Inky Impressions challenge and the hostess is the lovely teamie Joey!  She would like for you to use "SPOTS and STRIPES" on your creations!  Here's what I've made:
I thought that the yummy Crumb Cake color and red just went together well, so I drug out all of my paper stash and got to creating using my "spots and stripes" patterns!  And this little cutie pie is the Flower Lili image..which she also carries some "spots" of her own!  I tried to make her look like she was getting a little summer sun.  Boy am I ready for that..aren't you?!!  So anyway,  I hope that you will pull out all of your spots and stripes things and play along with us!! We'd love to see what you come up with!!

Here are a couple of challenges that went well with my card:
Everybody Art - 3 papers, 3 flowers and ribbon (optional)
Copic Creations - warm colors

Today is also my turn to post on the Inky Inspirations Blog!   Since I had already made my card for the challenge, I thought I would make something separate for this post.  Here's what I've made:
 I thought it was "about that time" to get into Spring, so I made this easy peasy Easter basket!!  I've taken this really sweet Lili's Stuffed Bunny image and used it for the front of my basket!

I've entered this project into:
A Spoonful of Sugar - anything but a card

If you'd like to find out the directions on how to make this basket and/or to see another view of it, please visit me on the Inky Inspirations Blog!!  See you there!!

Hope you have a wonderful day today and that it is filled with inky fun!! :)
