Love the idea of creating a field of shapes for this week's Retro Sketch #180! I'm matching it with this week's Can You Case It #85 color challenge, too - gorgeous! OK, still pretty enamored with my Lighthearted Leaves set - and also stoked that we continue to see multiple stamp sets for framelits from SU! Now THAT'S what I'm talking about! This one is a fun one to color, and a snap to dress up with those framelits - the best of both worlds. I only did a tiny bit of touch-up fussy cutting on one - I wanted that little spray of leaves to be detached... But using the framelit first sure cut down on the trim-time! Lighthearted Leaves Stamp Set; Pool Party, Delightful Dijon & Whisper White CS; Early Espresso, Pool Party, Delightful Dijon & Crushed Curry Inks; Woodland Textured Embossing Folder; Leaflets Framelits. Witching Decor Class September 12! SO excited about this class! We will be assembling our very very own witch hats, for display or inspiration, lol!

Time for some golden elegance with this week's offering at My Pumpkin Challenge #0915 - Touch of Gold! I decided this week to branch out into some other colors, and tossed in some Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake. I also wanted to take a crack at starting to use some of those big pink flowers from the kit. I like my result, but I need to play with those flowers some more, I think... Also, wanted to mention, I noticed something about the black stock in the kit - it seems to absorb ink differently than our regular Basic Black CS. When I was stamping my sentiment on my own black scraps, the ink was VERY faded looking, so I switched to one of my tag shapes from the kit - sacrificed for the cause! Much better ink effect! Can't wait to see your golden pumpkins - hop on over and share! Chalk It Up to Love Paper Pumpkin; plus, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Gold Foil CS; Encore Gold Ink; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon; 1 3/4" Circle Punch; Circles Collection Framelits.

I was so happy to get a chance to play with Delightful Dijon - have I ever mentioned how much I love food names for colors? I'm that way for yarns too, lol... Anyway, thinking about putting these yellows together made me think of sunny flowers, and I decided on touches of green to accent them. So happy with this result! (Also had a blast playing with my new stencils - eee!)

Today I'm combining Create With Connie & Mary #371 with Just Add Ink #278 - these two seem made for each other this week! Such a happy time making this bright and cheery card, and of course, always fun to get some coloring time in, lol. I love our new blossom set, Birthday Blossoms. The "sketchy" lines really appeal to me! Really makes the aqua-painting look a bit more artful, too - sometimes I get a streaky look when I use them with the brighter colors... Hint: Don't forget to put a lighter panel inside for your message, when you use a darker card base like this! Birthday Blossoms Stamp Set; Rich Razzleberry & Whisper White CS; Old Olive, Basic Black Archival, Rich Razzleberry, Tangerine Tango, Melon Mambo & Crushed Curry Inks; Lovely Lace Embossing Folder; Pansy & Banner Triple Punches; Old Olive Baker's Twine; Metallic Sequins in Silver.

I'm excited to combine this with TGIF #19's color challenge, too! OK, I just realized that I'm using a lot of the same elements as one of the design team members - yikes! I can't help it! I JUST got my Lighthearted Leaves, and they're crying out to me! So here goes, lol... I've been experimenting with adding touches of color to the Woodland Textured embossing folder, too. This time, I used an aquapainter to add the touches of black, then sponged some white craft ink VERY lightly over that - maybe too lightly? Still a work in progress, I guess! Lighthearted Leaves Stamp Set; Heavy & Regular Whisper White, Basic Black, Mint Macaron & Watermelon Wonder CS; Craft Whisper White, Archival Basic Black, Watermelon Wonder & Mint Macaron Inks; Leaflet Framelits; Neutrals Button in Black; White Baker's Twine; Woodland Textured Embossing Folder; PL Corner Rounder & Banner Punches.

Aww, look at that little doily peeking out on this week's sketch from Nacho Average Challenge #157! Let's try it with Stamps, Ink, Paper #12's Pop of Color challenge! I totally wanted to pick my pop of color first, lol, and I decided to go bright - let's hear it for Bermuda Bay! After that, it was just a matter of assembling the other elements. I really worked to keep the distribution of colors fairly balanced - I was pretty worried that my color "pop" would end up taking over, lol. Poppy but subtle - that's the word! Snuggles & Smooches and A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Sets; Stacked With Love DSP (retired); Bermuda Bay, Basic Black & Whisper White CS; Bermuda Bay & Craft White Inks; White Embossing Powder; Bermuda Bay Blendies (discontinued); Sequin Trim in Bermuda Bay; Banner Punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

I don't think in circles too often, lol... I went browsing for a stamp set to use, and decided I hadn't used Sheltering Tree recently enough - could I make that work? AND, how many new In Colors can I squeeze in?? Good times... So much fun, playing with different colored leaves, layering ribbons, snipping out the bicycle - my idea of a real good time sure has "evolved!" Sheltering Tree Stamp Set; Memento Tuxedo Black, Tip Top Taupe, Delightful Dijon, Tangelo Twist & Cucumber Crush Inks; Circles Collection Framelits; White Tea Lace Doily; Natural Trim & 1/8" Taffeta in Early Espresso; PL Corner Rounder & 1 1/4" Circle Punches; Brights Sequins in Orange.

Yay for layers! I'm also excited to combine it with this week's Merry Monday #170 - Use Holly! I know it's practically a crime, but, well, I haven't actually gotten our new Peaceful Wreath set that features holly - drat! So the holly I have available to work with is the lovely Season of Cheer DSP - so yummy! I wanted a larger sentiment to float over the DSP panel, so I pulled out the retired Mingle All the Way set, and had myself a time with my markers. Good morning all 'round! Mingle All the Way (retired) Stamp Set; Season of Cheer DSP; Heavy & Regular Whisper White, Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Mossy Meadow & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Filigree Frame Embossing Folder; Gold Cording Trim; Regals Button in Cherry Cobbler.

There are some truly gorgeous elements in this month's Pumpkin, with just delicate little touches of detail. I love this - so it's not too ornate! I'm starting out with the sympathy sentiment, and I decided to cut up the other cards to use to go full size in my final result. It's been quite enjoyable to go through my stash and identify all my little bits of Vanilla embellishments to use with this kit! Hop on over to the challenge to share your Midas touches - can't wait to see! Chalk It Up To Love Paper Pumpkin; plus, Basic Black, Pink Pirouette & Very Vanilla (inside) CS; Encore Gold Ink; 1/4" Black Grosgrain; Basic Jewel Jumbo Pearl.

OK, I really adore the color challenge over at SU-per Challenges #101 - it's so cool and crisp! Time to play! I felt asymmetrical today, what can I say? These hearts from Hello Life are just so cheery, I though they'd go great in these yummy colors! It took some time fiddling around with moving the pieces around, and then tinkering with details to add - I almost forgot our Brights Sequins have an orange in there!
