![]() Goodness, Inspire Create Challenge #28 has a gorgeous color collection for us this week - wow! Lucky for me, a new shipment from my mother ship arrived yesterday - I LOVE new goodies, lol! I'm breaking things in with the cozy Homemade Kindness set - love this fancy wood-burner - I can totally see this at home in a gnome's kitchen, lol. The challenge colors were perfect for aqua-painting up a real country designer model - so much fun! I wish I could make cute pie like this, too... Or that it was easy as stamping, at least! Christmas baking is getting cloooooser... Homemade Kindness Stamp Set; Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Sahara Sand, Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz & Lovely Lipstick Inks; Aqua-painter; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Lovely Lipstick Glimmer Dots; #ICC28. ![]() Westminster Village Craft Boutique Oct 19, 4-7 pm I hope you can by and visit me at this quick little craft show at Westminster Village, at 12000 N 90th Street, Scottsdale AZ..

![]() We're pretty excited about our Try Stampin' on Tuesday October Technique challenge - add stitching! So many ways to accomplish this these days - make sure to check out our ideas! For myself, I knew I wanted to combine two - the easiest of course being our awesome Stitched Shapes framelits! I use these hands-down the most of any framelits or thinlits I have. I love that it gives a "layered" effect with only one sheet really - so nifty! I also wanted to add some machine stitching - I have a blunter needle for my machine that I save just for paper. My advice? Go slow and use the largest stitch length you can! Anyway, I was able to marry my two stitch-types with my new favorite Santa from So Santa. I was giggling the whole time I was coloring him - I don't usually have to color in quite so much skin on the jolly old elf - if you know what I mean, lol. I hope we've inspired you to give some stitching a try - see you at the challenge! So Santa & Balloon Celebration Stamp Sets; Pool Party, Sahara Sand & Whisper White CS; Mementi Tuxedo Black & Craft White Inks; Dk Real Red, Lt Soft Suede, Dk Mango Melody, Dk Soft Sea Foam, Nude & Med Old Olive Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Machine Stitching w White Sewing Thread; #TSOTOctTech. ![]() CAS on Friday #142 has a very elegant color challenge this round - copper, black and white - so pretty! I still have Christmas on the brain, so I knew I needed to pull out another new set - today it's Beautiful Blizzard! Besides some lovely snowflakes and swirls, with chilly sentiments, there's also the Blizzard Thinlit - which cuts out a whole sheet of snowflakes at once! Gotta love that! I tried it today with my copper foil, and selected a few to show off. As usual with a copper challenge, I ended up pulling out everything I have in copper, lol - foil sheet, thread, embossing powder - oops. Still noting like a warm copper blizzard, right? Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set; Whisper White, Basic Black & Copper Foil CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Blizzard Thinlits; Copper EP; Copper Thread; Copper Sequins; #CASOF142. ![]() Oh yes, As You See It #185 has my fave green blue color combo for their challenge this week! Awesome! I do miss Dapper Denim! With this gorgeous combo, I knew I wanted to qua-paint today - I've been neglecting them terribly lately for my Blends, lol. But I also wanted to do Christmas - could it be done? Oh, you KNOW it! Enter Beautiful Baubles, with a bang! Besides the super cute line-art in this set, made just for coloring freaks like me, it also has an amazing and expansive thinlits set, which will have to debut some other time, lol. Today we're letting the coloring do the talking! Beautiful Baubles Stamp Set; Lemon Lime Twist, Bermuda Bay & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist & Dapper Denim (retired) Inks; Aqua-Painter; Corner Rounder Punch; #AYSI185. ![]() Check out our gorgeous banner sketch at Fab Friday #147! Love it! I knew I wanted to show off some gorgeous DSP for this sketch, and right now Frosted Floral is my pearly fave! Beautiful pearlized sheets with delicate brush-stroke botanicals really does it for me, lol. The stamp set is equally lovely, and I LOVE the framelits - a wonderfully planned suite! I know these are unusual colors for the holidays, but they do kinda remind me of lavish table settings and celebrations, lol. Is that weird? I can't wait to see what YOU come up with! See you at the challenge! First Frost Stamp Set; Frosted Floral DSP; Whisper White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Blackberry Bliss Ink; Stitched Shapes & Frosted Bouquet Framelits; Neutrals Sequins; #FabFri147. ![]() Pumpkin Club September 29!

And I have just enough time to squeeze in this sketch from TGIF #177, too - perfect! I really felt like a Christmas card today, lol - maybe that's just what I think of when I hear "cozy plaids," lol. Anyway, I actually CREATED my own plaid with a little help from our awesome Buffalo Check background stamp! I inked that baby up in Real Red, then added stripes with Old Olive & Crushed Curry markers - worked like a charm! Tip: if you don't have a "C-Thru" ruler yet, go get one right away, lol. Makes lining everything up a breeze! To complete my Christmas theme, I pulled out my beloved (and retired, SOB) Santa Stache - I still laugh when I see those handlebars - heee!

I spent a half hour or so brainstorming over my choices, but couldn't seem to "shake" the idea to do something that included a shaker, lol - so I went with our bottom row - green, shaker, blue! This idea was solidified when I came across a little baggie of these Pool Party sequins - they must be leftover from a Paper Pumpkin kit - that I found when re-organizing my studio. Yes, I have a whole drawer labeled "sequins" now, lol - good times here! Anyway, I knew this could be some pretty snow behind our gorgeous new spruce in Winter Woods, a real keeper in our holiday catty, that OF COURSE has a framelit set to go with - win, win, friends! I think this was the quickest shaker card I've ever done! See you over at TSOT - I can't wait to see what you pick! Winter Woods Stamp Set; Whisper White & Pool Party CS; Shaded Spruce & Early Espresso Inks; In the Woods & Layering Ovals Framelits; Softly Falling EF; Pool Party Sequins; #TSOTTTT5. ![]() Ready for Fall Class Sep 13 & 15!

I', going to match them up with this fun "queues" sketch from As You See It #183, too! So, I really had a struggle pulling myself away from the idea of a row of birthday candles for this one - thank goodness (not really, lol) that set is missing some pieces - so I couldn't give in! BUT, how about a row of neon skis instead, all lined up for Ski School, ready to go? I think I actually like this better! It does remind me of the little kids we'd see at lessons in Banff - they had the brightest colored EVERYTHING, lol, with scarves to match! Looking at this takes me right back! Fun colors for a Christmas card, too! Alpine Adventure Stamp Set; Lemon Lime Twist, Melon Mambo & Whisper White CS; Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist & Melon Mambo Inks; Layering Ovals Framelits; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #ICC25; #AYSI183. ![]() Ready for Fall Class Sep 13 & 15!

For my fun fold, I browsed on line for ideas for a bit, and decided I wanted to try my hand at the "zig-zag panel card" - I love the way the layers come together on this style! Also a great way to show off BOTH sides of our gorgeous DSP, and today I get to feature the exclusive Dashing Along pack! Here are the deets on how to get it for yourself! Anyway, I floated several oval panels over each other, and added beautiful holiday details from Mistletoe Season. I love that there are facing stamps in this set! Anyway, I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - lets have some fun-fold fun! See you at the challenge! Mistletoe Season Stamp Set; Dashing Along DSP; Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green & Whisper White CS; Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Layering Ovals Framelits; Red & White Pearls (salvaged from an old Paper Pumpkin, lol); #TSOTSepTech. ![]() Ready for Fall Class Sep 13 & 15!
