Soup Spotting 5.8.2013

Happy Soup Spotting day everyone!  The May snowstorm has melted and my tulips have survived!    Believe me, nothing irritated me more than digging out all of the snow clothes, again after I washed them and put them away:)  But, all irritations aside, I enjoyed this weeks soup spotting finds!

Good morning everyone!  How are we doing today?!  It seems to be pretty quiet out there.  I was searching around facebook and looking through my rather empty email, wondering where's my peeps?!  I hope you are all busy creating and just not sharing:)  Or, if you're like me, your kitchen counter is full of half finished 'soup' projects:)  This week, I was looking for some projects to share with you that were inspired by the February sketch.  Here's the February sketch designed by Nicole Nowosad....

Soup Spotting 1.23.13

Happy, happy Wednesday!  I am very happy to say that I am happily typing away on my laptop that crashed about two months ago.  Well, technically it didn't crash, the motherboard completely failed.  Luckily, it was still under warranty and all my data appears to still be present.  Yeah!  Some small amount on sanity has returned:)  Today, other than sharing my laptop woes, I'm going to share with you some of your takes on the December sketch challenge, which I found of Jillibean Soup's facebook page.  Here's Nicole Nowosad's sketch:

Soup Spotting 12.12.12

Good morning and it's another day of soup spotting on 12.12.12!  I always find that a little amusing when the month, the day, and the year are the same.  It should mean good luck (or something similar).  Well, it brought some luck to these ladies who were spotted.  But, I think their cards and layouts are pretty great without the luck:)

Soup Spotting 11.28.12

Happy Wednesday!  Can you hear that?  I've got the Christmas music going.  I'm trying really hard to get in the spirit.  I put up all my decorations and my creepy ornament trees (for those of you know that I like ugly vintage ornaments!) and I seem to be lacking in the spirit department.  Got to get that groove going!  Maybe these soup spotting finds will help!
