![]() Love the offset bars on this week's sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #416! I couldn't resist adding these sweet colors from Just Add Ink #464, too! Something about the offset bars made me think ocean thoughts, so I had to pull out the beautiful new Seaside Notions set - I've been having so much fun playing with it! I did an over-the-top congrats card for my DL Sarah, who is away on the Greek Incentive Cruise right now - I'm so proud! Anyway, it was fun to pull it out again for these fun colors, and a slightly simpler card, lol. I can't wait to see what YOU create - see you at the challenge! Seaside Notions Stamp Set; Whisper White, Granny Apply Green, Soft Sea Foam & Flirty Flamingo CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Granny Apple Green Inks; Flirty Flamingo, Granny Apple Green & Soft Sea Foam Blends; Iridescent Sequins; #TSOT416; #JAI464. ![]() Christmas in July 2019, July 11 & 13!

![]() Oo, The Male Room #114 has a multiple layers challenge going this round, so many cool ways to handle this! So, I'm a bit of a layer freak, which meant this challenge was right up my alley, lol. I did keep it fairly basic, with a big background set of layers, and then some nice feature layers for my fussy cut Hog! I still have plenty of the now-retired Classic Garage DSP left that goes with our awesome Geared Up Garage suite - perfect for the boys, though I know plenty of lady wrench-heads, too! I even added a few of my carefully hoarded Urban Underground embellishments - love those pewter bolt heads! I think this card is ready for the open road! Geared Up Garage Stamp Set; Classic Garage DSP (retired); Whisper White, Tranquil Tide (retired) & Smoky Slate CS; Tranquil Tide (retired & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Stitched Shapes Dies; Urban Underground Embellishments (retired); #TMR114. ![]() Christmas in July 2019, July 11 & 13!

Paper Craft Crew #342 has another two-week challenge for us, AND it's a tic-tac-toe! After a little thought, I went with the diagonal Birthday - Favorite Color - #simplestamping - turning into my mantra here these days, lol. Since my fave color is purple, I went with the perfectly purple Gorgeous Grape - it's just so juicy! I also got to finally use my very last preview stamp set, that has been cooling its rubber on my desk since pre-order - another Hostess set called Time for Tags. I sprang for this one because it has the gorgeous Timeless Label punch to go with - yes! Punches are the best, though I also love dies. Nothing beats the no-nonsense of a good punch, and this set has 5 awesome tags to make, plus some custom options that make it even more versatile. It's a win for me, for sure! Time for Tags Stamp Set; Gorgeous Grape DSP; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Gorgeous Grape, Granny Apple Green & Mango Melody Markers; Petal Pink Blend; Timeless Label Punch; Gorgeous Grape Mini Striped Ribbon; Noble Peacock Rhinestones in Gorgeous Grape; #PCCC342. ![]() Christmas in July 2019, July 11 & 13!

I have to admit, when I think birthdays, I can't help but think of cake, lol, so out came our adorable Piece of Cake set! Who wouldn't love to get a fancy birthday cake like this?? I decided to browse my DSP real quick, and came across this bright sheet from the Follow Your Art collection, so I took my cake colors from this a little. A tiny bit of sparkle and we are set - quick AND tasty!

See you soon! ![]() Another fun mix-it-up challenge this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #415 - and I think we can be inspired by "melt" pretty well here in Arizona, lol! I couldn't help but pull out my old Cool Treats set from last year - nothing says melt better than ice cream, lol. I even still have some og teh DSP! So I pulled out a suitably summery treat sheet and went to town. I had to add on a couple popsicles of my own making, too - see where I took a little bite? So, what will YOU come up with? I can't wait to see your creations over at the challenge! Cool Treats Stamp Set (retired 2018); Tasty Treats DSP (retired); Whisper White & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz & Pool Party Inks; Layering Circles Dies; #TSOT415. ![]() Yum! Check out our lovely berry shortcake inspired colors at this week's Sunday Stamps #207! Grab a fork and dig in with us! Next up from my box of new goodies is the glorious Ride With Me set - a new truck, with dies for making a 3-D one! Eeek! Love it! I still have my old Loads of Love, and the LOL Accessories, not quite ready to let them go, lol, but this little cutie was first on my list - I can't have too many little pick-ups! I pulled in the birthday accessories for this one, check out those fun balloons! There's even a fun inside sentiment - what's not to love?? So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge! Ride With Me Stamp Set; Whisper White & Balmy Blue CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Silver Sequins; #SSC207. ![]() Wow! AAA #141 is turning 5! They're celebrating with an extra long birthday party, lol, can't wait to get in on it! I think I'll use Inspire Create Challenge #044's perfect versatile sketch to help me along, too! Now that we're in the new catty, but I'm still waiting for my first order, lol, my pickins' are slim! I decided to combine my two silhouette sets for this one, and bring these ladies out for some air. And how about a new dress?? I love this miss from Wonderful Moments - I usually have her holding balloons, but today she gets some flowers! And my fave birthday sentiment is this one from Beautiful You - the best of everything! I'm giving my new 2019-20 In Color DSP some air time, too, and I pieced a coordinating dress from Woven Threads. Even without any ink yet, Purple Posy can get some play! Beautiful You & Wonderful Moments Stamp Sets; Woven Threads & Purple Posy DSP; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Nude, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Highland Heather (shh!)

See you there! ![]() Wow, love the layered approach to this week's As You See It #201 - so dramatic! I finally decided this was my chance to ink up my recently acquired Country Road set - I actually got this set for the weather vane, which, of course, I'm not using today, lol. Isn't that always the way! Anyway, I love the little country elements - the iron anchor plate star, the wagon wheel, and of course, the cool horse weather vane, sigh... Takes me back to living in Ellicott City! You'd see all these elements on buildings there! Anyway, I cobbled together the elements that I thought I could fit in the sketch, and tried to focus on just a couple details. At the last second, I found a few leftover pewter stars from an old tool set - perfect! Country Road Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Whisper White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Soft Suede, Pear Pizzazz & Calypso Coral Inks; Layering Circles Dies; Subtle EF; Retired Soft Suede & Calypso Coral Ribbons; Linen Threads; Pewter Stars (retired); #AYSI201. ![]() Wow, loving these bright candy colors at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #315! I'm so excited to combine them with this fun layered sketch from Paper Craft Crew #338! These colors definitely sent me straight out to the soon-to-be-retired Sweetest Thing suite - can't beat that bright and cheery paper! I tried to sneak a little bit of everything in there, and have a nice farewell party going here, I think, lol... Surprisingly, I have used just about every scrap I have of this How Sweet It Is DSP - I wouldn't have thought I would, but yay for no leftovers! Lol... Sweetest Thing Stamp Set; How Sweet It Is DSP; Whisper White, Melon Mambo. Gorgeous Grape & Coastal Cabana CS; Coastal Cabana, Melon Mambo, Gorgeous Grape & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Stitched Shapes & Jar of Sweets Dies; Gorgeous Grape Glimmer Dots; #HSS315; #PCC338. ![]() Back-to-Basics #27 has a gatefold challenge for us this round - excellent! I'm super excited to combine it with a new-to-me challenge - The Male Room #110 - add an age! Woot woot! So glad to have a boost making guy cards - I tried to stay pretty simple for this one - wood grain and guitars - that can be dude-esque, right? Lol! I did a basic gatefold, split in the middle, and pulled out my handy Number of years set for my "age." I used the super subtle Sahara Sand wood-grain sheet from Floral Romance, and stamped some flying guitars in Sand as well. Subtle and masculine, I'm hoping... Good times!
