![]() Love this angled band in the layout from Case This Sketch #241! I'm combining it with the Autumn flowers theme from Paper Players #364! With the Fall theme, I of course turned to my Painted Harvest suite - the stamps and papers just sing together, I swear! The Painted Autumn DSP papers are completely gorgeous - so glad to feature this sheet today, and a fussy cut flower seemed just right - especially with the two-step leaves and punch! The whole suite is just so warm and inviting - wish we had more of a Fall season here in Arizona!

![]() Woo hoo! Time for Fab Friday #121, and a super cute sketch to play with! I'm matching mine with these sweet colors from Paper Players#361! How about something floral and sweet today? I can't seem to get enough of the branches and blossoms in Colorful Seasons! Just a touch of sparkly silver sets everything off, too. This card is just in time for a late summer wedding here (we can still call it late summer here in AZ when it's 106 degrees out, darn it!) I decided to switch up the images and sentiment, too - all made super easy with Layering Ovals to help. So, what's YOUR Fab creation going to be? I can't wait to see!

I think I'll try to squeeze in TGIF #123's sweet color combo, too! Once I looked over these colors a bit, I realized they could be a good palette for our still awesome Coffee Cafe suite - there's even some DSP sheets that fit right in! I picked a couple sheets to stand in for my larger blocks of color from the sketch, and then set about creating the right combo for a tasty little short cup of brew. When I considered what extra shapes I wanted to include, I hit on including the little "Perk Up" piece from Merry Cafe, making this into a kind of caffeinated get well card, lol. Maybe cough medicine tastes even better from a mini coffee cup!

I'm combining today with Less Is More #339's piercing challenge, too! I was feeling citrus-y today - Trader Joe's had their lightly candied orange slices in produce this morning - YUM! So out had to come Lemon Zest when I git home, of course! These lemons are a natural pairing with Lemon Lime Twist and a leafy background. I managed to squeeze in some piercing on my circle, too - all my boxes checked! (And of course, my inside sentiment says "Live it with zest!")

I sure hope I see you all there!

Such a bold sketch will hold up well to these bold colors from Sunday Stamps #157, too! The colors over at SSC immediately started sending me in nautical direction - I totally imagined a streamer of bright and pretty flags, sailboats in the distance... With that thought in mind, I hit on using Swirly Bird to build a sailing scene - so fun! My white space still struck me as a little naked, and then I remembered my new Pattern Party masks have a cloud sheet in them - haven't used the new embossing paste yet, though, sigh...

I'm going to add in the Less Is More #330 "shimmer" challenge, too! So, this card ended up being QUITE the journey for me today, lol. I was paralyzed - no lie! I went from a typewriter, to flowers, and finally settled on the balloons. I sponged my background to limit my layers, and added shimmer with silver-embossed clouds, a strip of glimmer paper, and three lonely sequins. {SOB} Just kidding. I tried to aqua-paint some colorful balloons, too, and they just didn't want to fly, sigh. I finally went on this Pool Party Smoky Slate combo and called it good. Time to walk away, lol!

And I will DEFINITELY be partying for it, lol! I'm throwing in Less Is More #326's "shadow" challenge, too! Cool! I decided a good way to try for a "shadow" effect was to try out our new Happy Celebrations bundle - these celebrations "debossing" folders are way cool to play with! For today's card, I centered my "happy," then stamped the swoosh stripe right over top in three colors, which really brings out the "shadow" effect, hopefully, lol. I really brought on the Rich Razzleberry, since this birthday card is also for me - and purple is the best! Happy Birthday, TGIF!

I think I'll combine with Merry Monday #243's challenge to create a Christmas scene, too! And lastly, I think I can tuck in Paper Craft Crew #239's metallics challenge, too - yay! I was psyched to pull out my beloved White Christmas stamp set for this challenge trio - although Alpine Christmas almost won, lol. I just felt like my pretty birch trees, I guess! I kept my touches of color pretty sparse, except for the holiday car, of course, which made it a great candidate for a nice solo cameo over my banner! So many of my favorite things here - I still miss you, WC!

I'm going to toss in this manly color challenge from Global Design Project #81, too! Since I was already thing "manly" colors, I hit up my manly stamp sets, lol. Nailed It rose to the top, yuck, yuck, and also gave me the chance to go rogue on the suggested shapes, one of my fave sketch things to do, right? My layering is a little out of order, but I still had a blast coloring away, and then using the awesome framelits that go with this set. I've also finally learned to not go crazy with the glue on the "ruler" diecuts, just dot it on the solid spots, since that die DOES actually cut all the way through for the markings, sigh. That only took me three or four tries, lol.

Oh my goodness, this card turned out to be a bit of a mish-mosh (oh wait, that's a FUSION, lol!)I have to say though, that even though I feel like maybe these are elements I might never have tried together, I really do love the final result. I can see a misty fall sprinkly day, ahhh, Paris! Good times. I had actually just put Chic Boutique in the sale box, but maybe I need to keep it for a bit - my only Eiffel Tower!
