![]() Check out the yummy colors we have for you at Fab Friday #108 today! Delicious! I'm pairing it with this fun sketch from As You See It #145, too - so cool! And, just because I can, I'm also including Less Is More #319 - one-layer leaves theme! So, a set I have BARELY touched since our 2016-17 Annual Catalog came out is Love & Affection, I'm sorry to say. I think I was given this set for free at the last convention I went to? Or maybe I got it because it was available to me in pre-order. Somehow, I just haven't pulled it out that much - bad demo! But today, its little leaves were perfect for this combo of challenges, and I was careful not to blow the "one-layer" protocol, lol. Love the simplicity, and our cherry colors! Love & Affection Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Calypso Coral, Peekaboo Peach, So Saffron & Mint Macaron Inks; Blender Pen; PL Corner Rounder Punch; #FabFri108; AYSI145; #LIM319. ![]() Pumpkin Club March 25!

![]() Love today's pretty sketch from TGIF #98! I'm combining it with this St. Pat's color challenge from Paper Players #335, too - lucky us! I decided to go with Sheltering Tree to play up my green theme today - and then I realized that I could use Vintage Leaves for the background element - leaves leaves everywhere! Lol... I snuck in a tiny amount of Early Espresso for accenting, but I think this is still pretty green. I did end up covering up my swing with the sentiment, sigh. Trying to do too much, I guess! Sheltering Tree & Vintage Leaves Stamp Sets; Succulent Garden DSP; Whisper White & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso, Pear Pizzazz, Old Olive & Garden Green Inks; Leaflets Framelits; Garden Green Candy Dots (retired - last 4!

That little heart (which I will read as "any shape," lol) really makes me want to pair this one with Stamp Ink Paper #87's "kindness" theme, too! I decided to kick off this card by browsing for stamp sets that had "kindness" in them. I found two: Jar of Love (SO tempting!) and Thoughtful Branches, which I really need to move to the Room of Retirement. Really I'm just holding out hope that they'll revive this baby as a surprise birthday present or something, lol. Anyway, I decided to go for this one, and opt for the shorter trunk so I could follow the landscape layout. I've been so stuck on green lately! I layered my stamped leaves over Pear Pizzazz and hand-trimmed, to add some depth - I know, CRAZY! Thoughtful Branches Stamp Set; Serene Scenery & Succulent Garden DSP; Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, Chocolate Chip & Crumb Cake CS; old Olive, Chocolate Chip & Island Indigo Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Beautiful Branches Thinlits; PL Corner Rounder Punch; Island Indigo Enamel Dots; #TSOT310; #SIP87. ![]() Man Cards Class March 9 & 11!

RSVP today to reserve your spot! ![]() Today I'm combining this fun sketch from Sunday Stamps #146, and the colors from Paper Players #331 - cute combo! So, guess what my two favorite words are?? "Any Shape!" Lol, seriously, it's like I've been given a mission to find the weirdest shape ever, every time! So today's any shape is an elephant - I can't even remember the lats time I used Playful Pals! I originally thought he would be perfect to combine the colors, but then I ended up doing him in all Smoky Slate - go figure. Fortunately, I did some other details in Blushing Bride, and only cheated a tiny bit by using Copper Thread behind him - it just had to be, lol. Crazy About You & Playful Pals Stamp Sets; A Little Foxy DSP; Whisper White & Blushing Bride CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Pyramid Pals Framelits; Copper Thread; Smoky Slate Candy Dots (retired); #SSC146; #PP331. ![]() Pumpkin Club February 25!

I'm combining it with this bright color challenge from Global Design Project #73! I decided that today I wanted to play with my Inside the Lines DSP, a paper designed for coloring available in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. What would it be like to color with markers? I built up all my pieces for the sketch from various DSP scraps, and then got down to the coloring. I chose this pattern because I thought I could see all three challenge colors in it - bumblebee, flowers, leaves. Yay, coloring! BUT, well, I'm sorry to say I'm not totally in love with my final results, lol. It's ok, it just doesn't grab me, I guess. But this is my warts-and-all personal blog, so you still get to see it.

This week's Merry Monday #233 is the perfect match with the "5 is the magic number" theme, lol. I know Merry Monday's inspiration pic seems like a giveaway, but I couldn't help gravitating to my beloved Embellished Ornaments for this one! I even got to use one of the coordinating thinlits that I can't remember using before! That's right, the small round ornament feels new to me, lol. I also went back to this retired DSP. Such nostalgia - I think this was one of my fave DSPs everr!

My new Sending Thoughts just arrived, and I really really REALLY wanted to use the "be still" sentiment - how can I squeeze it in here? Let's pair it with the gorgeous peony from You've Got This! I ended up heat embossing it with black to give it a tiny bit more definition, and floating it over some hardwood planks. Ah, simple but striking.

I think it will go great with this vertical sketch from Freshly Made Sketch #270! Black, white and a color pop for some reason made me think of going back to our new Valentine's suite, Sealed With Love. The DSP for it is just gorgeous, and, conveniently today, is all in Real Red and Whisper White. Does that make me more red, white and a pop of black? Oopsy, lol... Anyway, glad I got to try out the amazing new thinlit incuded with the framelit set that goes with it, too - so much to LOVE about this suite!

While I have two or three "retired" angels I haven't been able to let go of, I wanted to shoot for a "current" set for me, and since Joyful Nativity is still in our current "Big Book," it fits the bill! I love this simple little angel silhouette, and I really wanted to trumpet out this angel's glad greetings to us all, of comfort and joy!

I'm combining it with this week's Merry Monday #226 - Winter Fun! I think the Merry Monday theme gives me another chance to trot out my Mountain Adventure set - it really needs just a little more play, lol. Today I did some Christmas -colored snowboards. They can't help but remind me of a major crash my hubby had about two years ago. His butt was seriously broken, lol, it was awful, and they weren't these pretty Christmas colors either, tee hee. He decided to swear off the snowboard in favor of preserving his golf game - go figure!
