I'm kicking off with this plotting kitty, but I'll follow up later with the kitty getting his comeuppance, lol. It's a hoot!

So excited - CAS Christmas has another great cue card for us - "pine!" I went straight for Decorated With Happiness for this one - I haven't even used the stamped pine branch yet - I've been too busy with the dies, lol. In that spirit, I'm all stamps, ink and paper today, lol, and I slipped in one elegant ornament, too! I have a feeling I'll be using this sentiment all over the place this year, too! For the branch, I first inked up the whole image in Mossy Meadow, then I went over the branches with an Early Espresso marker to get the two-tone. This trick works great when your marker ink is darker than the stamp pad ink!

We are bringing on the layers this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #395! I just received a few new sets to play with in the nick of time! Today seems a good one to try out our new Mistletoe Magic set - I love it! I did a stripey background with some strips of our returned Painted Christmas DSP over Evening Evergreen - yum! Next up, my mistletoe feature panel, lol. So pretty! I had fun coloring in the larger sprig - the berries have just a tiny touch of Smoky Slate, and then layers of Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle! I even snuck in some Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds! I cant wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty sketch - meet you there!

Annual Catty Roundup Class, Aug 13 at 2 PM I couldn't resist this catch-all class to "round up" some stamp sets that don't quite fit in our other classes, lol. There will be a little bit of everything, with at least 5 all-occasion cards with envelopes today! I think some Sale-A-Bration could sneak in, too, lol! Class includes all supplies needed for your projects (bring your own fave snips and adhesive!) plus snacks and drinks, and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is announced for Saturday, August 13 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot! I can't believe it's the first again already, and you know that means it's time for another monthly theme from Sparkles Christmas Challenge #139! This round we want to see sentiments as the focus! I of course went straight for my Hope & Peace set - so many beautiful phrases! I chose the largest since it's supposed to be a "feature," and matched it up with this pretty snowy paper from the Storybook Gnomes pack - love the blues here! The Deckled Rectangles are quickly becoming my go-to for layers, and I finished with a touch Sheer Ribbon in Pool Party and a few Fine Sparkle Gems. Love it! I can't wait to see YOUR projects this round - meet you there! Hope & Peace Stamp Set; Storybook Gnomes DSP; Basic White & Pacific Point CS; Pacific Point Ink; Deckled Rectangles & Layering Circles Dies; Sheer Pool Party Ribbon; Fine Sparkle Gems; #SCC139. EEE! Shopping Our Stash #475 has a hilarious challenge this round called "WTHEmbellishments!" Um, I think I might have some stuff for this one, lol... I went for a dig through the embellie drawer, and way at the back, I found this little set of Glitter Star Ornaments - I vaguely remember buying these off the clearance rack a few years ago to put on a little tabletop tree I was thinking about making. Don't think I ever did, lol! This makes for a bulky card, but perfect for the neighborhood cookie swap we do - no mailing required! Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set; Celebrate Everything DSP; Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Granny Apple Green Ink; Crumb Cake & Granny Apple Green Blends Markers; Decorated Pines & Stitched Shapes (retired) Dies; Glitter Star Ornaments (retired); #SOS475. Our challenge this week at As You See It #280 is my favorite of the year! I don't know how to pick just one thing for Christmas in July, though, lol... I think my most favorite projects are those that show Santa living it up in his off-time, lol. This image of the Big Guy out catching some peppermint waves has been one of my all-time Santa favorites since 2018! Santa don't need no stinkin' snow! I couldn't resist pulling in this ocean wash sheet from the Rings of Love DSP pack, and adding a big Evergreen palm tree, too - gotta be matchy-matchy! I can't wait to see YOUR Christmas in July projects - I'll be waiting under the mistletoe! So Santa Stamp Set (retired 2018); Rings of Love DSP; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Evening Evergreen CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Evening Evergreen, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake & SU1000 Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes & Palms Dies; #AYSI280.

CAS Christmas has the BEST theme for us this month - Santa! OK, after checking out my various Santa's, I really couldn't resist pulling out my old Visions of Santa from 2014 - now how to do something new? And WHICH hilarious Santa to feature? And how much coloring do I feel like doing? This is my answer to all those questions, lol. When in doubt, use 'em all, and hey, if I feature the big sentiment in the middle, I could do a little belt-buckle play - sold! After that, I just went back and forth on the coloring issue. In the end, I decided it might be too much if I added all that red. As if there really IS such a thing as too much Santa, lol...

Hm, we have a fabulous camper inspiration board this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #394! I kinda think someone had our Trees For Sale stamp set and Tree Lot dies on the brain for this one, lol. No problemo! Love this combo! I'm pretty sure the Tree Lot dies will be the runaway favorite SAB item for sure! I finally used the light strands on this card, and I tried to make a nice two-tone forest for my snazzy trailer. This sentiment seemed a natural for this scene, lol. So. Many. Pieces! I must love you guys! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our inspiration board this round - bring it on!

I am so excited to host our sketch challenge this week at Sunday Stamps #288! Hope you like it! Surfing out in blog-land, it has become clear to me that I need to dig deeper into our SAB papers - Rings of Love has SO many designs and colors for multiple seasons! My sketch seemed tailor-made for showing off the goods, lol. I flipped my original idea, and stamped ON the DSP, so it could be featured on top, and embossed my background white panel with one of last year's Wintry folders - love it! I'm so in love with the beautiful fonts in our Hope & Peace set, that had to join in, as well! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for my sketch - show me what you got!

Wow, we have some glorious sunset colors for you this week at As You See It #279! So, I was all set to blender-brush something crazy, but then my latest order arrived, lol. And sitting right on top is my new Sweet Gingerbread bundle - coming in my gifts and packaging class later this year, lol. I just couldn't resist! I had to make a crazy cottage, complete with spun sugar trees and purple lollies! I even had the Whimsical Woodland EF with it, and thought, hey, let's go for broke! I giggled the whole time I was making this one, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our amazing colors - see you there!
