![]() We have a bright and cheery color combo from Just Add Ink #433 this week! I decided this bright combo really needed to be on a birthday card, lol, and then I realized I really haven't used Broadway Birthday lately - time to change that! I got a little help from the Broadway Bound DSP, and picked out my elements from there - check out that Blueberry marquee! A few extra color touches, and I am good to go!

![]() We have a pretty portrait sketch for you at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #383 this week! I decided this layout gave me just the chance I needed to show off another new set that I've been wanting to get inky - Seize the Day. This set is from a new line of stamp styles for SU! - that they call DistINKtive - the stamps show different opacities in a single image, creating incredible detail! I had some fun layering a couple images from this fun new set, and adding some additional embellishments for the sketch - love it! Can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you at the challenge! Seize the Day Stamp Set; Nature's Poem DSP; Crumb Cake, Tranquil Tide & Whisper White CS; Tranquil Tide, Blackberry Bliss, Crumb Cake & Mint Macaron Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Blackberry Bliss Nature's Twine; Blackberry Bliss Faceted Dots; #TSOT383. ![]() Holiday Gifts & Packaging Class Nov 8 & 10!

So, I think I have to take a stand for the super cute Making Christmas Bright - I know this is my first time using the set on the blog, but I could NOT wait to get my hands on this one, and play with that brilliant Christmas Bulb Builder punch! Even this simple card has some serious pop, lol. I also love that there's already a second set to go with the punch later in the catty - Making Every Day Bright. Go take a look at that cute little pine cone, or the penguin - adorbs! Well, off to put little light strings on EVERYTHING, lol...

I think Colorful Seasons is up today - I've been using this set for mostly Spring-y themes, because it has all those pretty blossoms in it, but I have to remember that it has some lovely leaves, too - perfect! I kept it pretty simple with this stark branch and a few leaves, a touch of dimension - I love the look of this - we don't really get the Fall colors here in Scottsdale! Makin' my own this year, lol. Colorful Seasons Stamp Set; Very Vanilla & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Cajun Craze Inks; Seasonal Layers Thinlits; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Metallics Sequins; #GDP159. ![]() Westminster Village Craft Boutique Oct 19, 4-7 pm I hope you can by and visit me at this quick little craft show at Westminster Village, at 12000 N 90th Street, Scottsdale AZ.. This is new show for me, but there are plenty of fun and friendly vendors, snacks, and a silent auction! Click on the pic for the flyer! Hope to see you there! ![]() I'm really digging this "sunrise" sketch from Retro Rubber #96! With the sketch in mind, I went and perused the Shelves of Retirement - such a fun past-time to walk down Memory Lane! I love the chance Retro Rubber gives me to, um, justify, hanging on to some oldies but goodies, lol. Anyway, the nice round shape on the sketch kept drawing me back to 2012's Jewish Celebrations - LOVE the artwork in this one! I wish we could get a really robust new Judaic set, though even if we did, I'm pretty sure I'd still hang on to this beauty, lol. Shalom, my friends!

RSVP today to save your spot! ![]() We have a lovely martial sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #379 - can't wait to try it in my old high school colors from In{k}spire Me #367! I couldn't shake the "martial" idea once I'd had it, lol, so I ran over and grabbed my retired Badges & Banners set - Why not carry the theme and add a "shield" to go with?? I covered my stripes along the bottom with some DSP strips, added a band of sparkle in the middle and finished with my "shield." this one was quick and quirky, lol - LOVE these colors together! So, what will YOU come up with? Can't wait to see you at the challenge!

We have all different versions to inspire you, too! For my fun fold, I browsed on line for ideas for a bit, and decided I wanted to try my hand at the "zig-zag panel card" - I love the way the layers come together on this style! Also a great way to show off BOTH sides of our gorgeous DSP, and today I get to feature the exclusive Dashing Along pack! Here are the deets on how to get it for yourself! Anyway, I floated several oval panels over each other, and added beautiful holiday details from Mistletoe Season. I love that there are facing stamps in this set!

I once again went on the prowl for a neglected stamp set to feature - today's is Happy Birthday Gorgeous - such an eclectic collection of fun party elements and sentiments, it seemed just right for our "eclectic" colors, too, lol. I ran and stacked a few birthday thinlits to be my centerpiece, and then dressed it up with some 2-step flowers and leaves. I love the finished effect - so cheery! Can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you over at the challenge! Happy Birthday Gorgeous Stamp Set; Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist & Poppy Parade CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Lemon Lime Twist, Call Me Clover & Calypso Coral Inks; Happy Birthday Thinlit; Scattered Sequins DEF; Emerald Envy Enamel Dots (oops, lol); #FabFri144. ![]() Pumpkin Club August 25!

Yay! One of my favorite and most used embossing folders this year is the lovely Layered Leaves - it just goes with so much! I decided to pull out our Painted Harvest set to go with - I've been seeing so many pretty flowers in different colors with it this week - gotta get in on that! I stuck with my subtles collection for my flower pairings - so soft! I went a little nuts and made three combos - I think I covered up too much of my embossing - eek! Still, lots of fun, I even got some fussy cutting time - yay! PS.

I LOVE that these guys are challenging me to try new things! Much like explosion cards, I found myself stumped for a stamp set - these fancy folds can sometimes give you what feels like a LOT of real estate to fill, and this one was no exception, lol. And I really wanted something bright and fun - and no trees - I'm treed out after Christmas class! I landed on Picture Perfect Birthday mostly because I have some of the DIVINE dsp for this suite still left over - that's a deal! I hunted around and found some tips for a 3-side-step card, and off I went! I cobbled together all my panels and add-ons, and here we are. I added a little white panel to the back for jotting your own note! Whew! Made it! Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set; Picture Perfect Party DSP (retired); Berry Burst, Basic Black & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay & Peekaboo Peach (retired) Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Tutti-Frutti Sequins (retired); #BBB7. ![]() Pumpkin Club July 28!
