Tuesday Trigger: Sweet on Spring

Oh my friends! I am just delighted that so many of you gave last week's Tuesday Trigger by Kim Hughes via Kimberly Crawford a try! Holy Hannah! I just love how many of you were comfy cozy with a color combination that before last spring seemed highly unlikely. Remember last year's I'm Dreaming in Yellow & Gray Challenge in the Moxie Fab World? And how so many of you felt completely out of your comfort zone? My-oh-my but how we've all grown since then! I just love it!

And holy-are-we-living-in-the-land-of-difficult-decisions-or-what?, Batman! I went back-and-forth and back-and-forth in coming up with these five names. Thanks to everyone who made made my life so difficult! ;) A hearty congratulations to these Moxie Fabbers for achieving Trigger Target status this week: Theresa, Jennie Harper, Melinda Spinks, Elena, and ~amy~.

Who's ready for the next? I see you raising your hands over there, stretching them as high as they will go, reaching for the ceiling. That's OK. I see you. You can stop waving now. ;)

Shall we get right to it? This week's delicious Tuesday Trigger comes to us from Kim Wilson:

Inspiration Board by Kelly Oshiro via Santa Barbara Chic

Kim says: I really love the variety of textures and colors--so much inspiration there! Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

And here's Kim's card:


You likey? I just love the sweetness that pours out of this card, and I like how fresh, fun, and spring-time-y these colors are. I also love that the inspiration board gives you so many options--and we all know how much I love me some options. Good stuff, Kim! Thanks!

So, link 'em up, friends! If you're new to the Tuesday Trigger, let me 'splain. Create a project that is inspired by the Trigger that Kim has provided and post it to your blog. Then, click on the title of your blog post, copy the URL at the top, and link it using Mr. Linky below. If you don't have a blog, post your project to this flickr group and link it to Mr. Linky as soon as you've grabbed the URL. Easy peasy and TONS o' fun!

Also, if you've submitted a Tuesday Trigger post-Valentine's Day, I'd love to keep it in the running through March. I'm seeing some supah fun triggers already and can't wait to see what else comes in. If you'd like to have a chance at seeing your Tuesday Trigger featured here in the Moxie Fab World like Kim's is today, send me your trigger image, the project you created based on the trigger image, and a blurb that tells me why and how you were inspired. Please also be sure to send me the links I'll need to give proper credit. I've got a special gmail account set up for just this purpose: tuesdaytrigger@gmail.com. I can't wait to see what you've got for us!

Now friends, I announced some BIG winners from Stamp It! Cards Week in the post just below this one. Be sure and check to see if you are one of them. Remember, you have to email me with your contact information in order to be eligible for the prizes. I'd hate for you to miss out on some stampy goodness if you are one of the winners and you didn't get in touch with me!

I'll have the winners of the Fun With Floss Challenge tomorrow, so be sure and stop on by. In the meantime, don't forget about the Olympics of Stamping Challenge. Click here for all the stampy details!

A Trigger's worth a thousand words,

~Cath
