![]() Love our combo at this week's Fusion "Cactus Door" challenge - perfect for AZ! I knew as soon as I saw the inspiration pic I would be pulling out my retired Succulent Garden DSP. What's funny is, I never did get the stamp set and framelits that are part of this suite, I just wanted that gorgeous paper! With the return of Mint Macaron to our color lineup, I have a feeling you might be seeing more of it, lol. Anyway, this card is also maybe the second time EVER that I have fussy cut a DSP element to feature (no stamp set, remember??) and I love how easy it was and how cool it came out! A touch of woodgrain to make a nod to the door, and I am DONE!

![]() Hee hee - back again already at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #371 for our regular sketch challenge - we're going tilty! Since we're on the slant anyway, yuk-yuk, I decided to make it worse and turn my sketch, too! This gave me room for the big billboard shape I can use in the Broadway Birthday suite - woo woo! I even tried my hand at the dotted sentiments - the two larger sentiments each have a two-step stamp to add "bling" to your big word. It worked like a charm - photopolymer makes it so easy to line up! I also got to take this cake sheet out for air - I have to think of ways to show it off more! See you at the challenge! Broadway Birthday Stamp Set; Broadway Bound DSP; Whisper White, Basic Black & Lovely Lipstick CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Lovely Lipstick & Lemon Lime Twist Inks; Broadway Lights Framelits; Polka Dot Basics; Silver Pearls; #TSOT371. ![]() Christmas in July 2018!

I couldn't resist breaking out another new set today, and also give a test run for my Christmas in July class, lol. I am fascinated by the lovely images and swirls in our new Stylish Christmas set - so elegant! I love when the color gradation is built into the stamps, as well - it adds so much depth to the images! Anyway, I added in some strips of one of the tiled sheets from the Under the Mistletoe DSP, and I think it goes just right, a real play on styles. I also snuck in a few of our new metallic gold pearls - love these! Can't wait to see your creations - see you at the challenge!

Wee! Today is one of the rare times I've actually addressed BOTH sides of the Fusion, lol - I went for the sketch, of course, but I also pick up a bit of the inspiration pic, too! I just thought that our gorgeous Painted Harvest flowers would translate really well into the pretty colors, and I went digging for a lovely sentiment to go with that fit the layout - one of my faves, and so, a keeper! Days like today, I'm missing my Peach Parfait, sigh... Painted Harvest & Pursuit of Happiness (retired-2011) Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Calypso Coral & Powder Pink CS; Calypso Coral, Powder Pink & Grapefruit Grove Inks; Scallop Edge Border Punch; Share What You Love Artisan Pearls; #FusionCoralFlowers. ![]() 2018 New Catty Intro Class June 14 & 16!

I feel a Lemon Lime Twist moment coming over me... That little square at the bottom of the sketch seems just right for a wire fruit basket, don't you think? And some lovely Lemon Lime pears would be just right, too! So that's just what I did. I stamped my base basket with a few pears inside, and then stamped some extras that I punched out with their adorable Itty Bitty Pear Punch, lol. I tried to tone down the background colors a bit so I could show off those pears, but I just love the bright cheeriness of this whole suite! I'm going to miss my little frutties! Fruit Basket Stamp Set; Tutti-Frutti DSP; Whisper White, Basic Black& Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Lemon Lime Twist Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Mini Striped Ribbon in Lemon Lime Twist; Itty Bitty Pear Punch; #IM348. ![]() Picnic With You & Barn Door Class May 10 & 12 For the month of May, we're thinking picnics and farm trips with our gorgeous Picnic With You & Barn Door bundles! These sets really made me think of summer days to come, so I figured we could get ready now! This class will feature three picnic cards and two barn door cards, and will include all your supplies, drinks, snacks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Thursday, May 10 at 630 pm, or Saturday, May 12 at 3 pm. RSVP today to save your spot! ![]() SU Only #197 is playing my favorite game - feature your favorite flower set from the annual catty - yes! I think this wide open sketch from In{k}spire Me #346 will be perfect for it, too! I had to really think about it, but I finally settled on You've Got This for my fave flower set - I love those little ruffly petals, and snipping them out for the extra drama, lol. Today I did two, and cut one down to look like an actual different flower, and floated everything over the background piece that's part of that set - another thing I love about it! No ribbon for me, but I figured some gold metallic thread could fit that bill for me! So sorry this one is retiring this year - get it while you still can! You've Got This Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Powder Pink & Very Vanilla CS; Gold Encore, Versamark, Chocolate Chip, Powder Pink, So Saffron & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Gold EP; Layering Circles Framelits; Banner Triple Punch; Gold Metallic Thread; Subtles Enamel Shapes; #SUO197; #IM346. ![]() Pumpkin Club April 28!

I'm adding in the also fun "anything goes" challenge at Retro Rubber #83, too! I have always loved Adventure Awaits from 2015 - so many fun and encouraging sentiments, in a nice large and dramatic layout - gorgeous! This one is my total fave, and I love floating it over something that evokes water. I've added a "thinking of you" to the inside from Crazy About You, which also launched in 2015.

See you there! ![]() Wow, As You See It #171 has quite the challenge for us this week - hope I can work this out, lol! I'm going to try and shoe-horn in this gorgeous sketch from Match the Sketch #220. So, holy SMOKES this was a challenge for me, lol. I'm not sure I paid enough homage to the sketch at the end of the day, but I'll still go for it, since it was definitely my inspiration for the layout I ended up with, anyway! My main concern was all the features of the AYSI challenge. I decided "wide" meant landscape for me, lol, and I pulled out a star feature I haven't used in FOREVER, that also covered "one word." "Confetti" says shaker to me, so in went some rainbow sequins, with a rainbow banner across the top. Then I had to stop - everything else I tried just didn't work, lol. This was a serious exercise for me! You're So Sweet Stamp Set; Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pacific Point & Rich Razzleberry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Rainbow Sequin Mix cobbled together from Brights, Metallics & an old Paper Pumpkin; Mini Treat Bag Thinlits; Banner Punch (retired); #AYSI171; #MTS220. ![]() Pumpkin Club March 24!

I think I'll add in Global Design Project #127's Sale-A-Bration theme, too! To get myself started, I decided to pull in my Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes - I've been through about 5 packs of these already, lol. Such great colors! I also wanted to use my Celebrate You thinlits for the big sentiment, which was a shoe-in for the coordinating Amazing You stamp set. We're coming up SAB all over! I've really wanted to try the "amazing" thinlit, with that big swooshy curve - I stacked up 5 of them to really make it pop! Some quick coloring with Stampin' Blends on my flower, and we are good to go! Amazing You Stamp Set; Tutti-Frutti Cards & Envelopes; Basic Black, Calypso Coral & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Calypso Coral & Old Olive Blends; Celebrate You Thinlits; Calypso Coral Enamel Shapes; #CTS260; #GDP127. ![]() Bubbles & Raindrops Class March 8 & 10!

I decided to color my own card base for this one, by using a sponge brayer to cover a piece of Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP. I know this is our retired resist paper, but I have so much left, lol, I haven't been able to get a newer one yet. This floral print is one of fave patterns from this pack, too! A nice long block element to go over it came from Color Me Happy, which of course was made to show off our Blends - there are days, I swear, that cards pretty much make themselves!
