![]() Wow, crazy dramatic sketch at Case This Sketch #268 this week! I'm adding in these fire-y colors from In{k}spire Me #347, too! A sketch like this deserves a crazy dramatic stamp set to go with it, too - and I went with Happy Celebrations - so fun playing with these shapes! I figure I could make a swoosh stripe exclamation point and add some words in the right places, though I think I've taken some liberties with the sketch, per usual, lol... I used daubers to multi-color ink up my larger swoosh - worked out really well! I even snuck in some enamel dots for extra color! At the last second, I decided to sue the accompanying EF from Celebration Duo, too - I'm sure gonna miss these guys...

![]() Dang, there is a fun little sketch at Case This Sketch #266! I'm excited to give it a go in these sweet colors from In{k}spire Me #345, too! So, I think this is my week for flipping things around, lol, because I knew right away I was flipping this one over so I could "hang" Chinese lanterns for a party! I had a quiet and satisfying time with my aqua-painter, and snipped everything out, then went hunting for a nice large die-cut sentiment. Sunshine Wishes wins, AND it goes great with a smaller sentiment from the stamp set! I very strategically covered up one little word so everything would fit portrait style, here - whew! Color Me Happy Stamp Set; Rich Razzleberry scarp from 2010-2013 stack (retired); Whisper White & Sahara Sand CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Rich Razzleberry, So Saffron & Sahara Sand Inks; Sunshine Wishes Dies; Fresh Fig Enamel Shapes (shh, from Paper Pumpkin, lol); #CTS266; #IM345. ![]() Man Cards 2018 Class April 12 & 14!

See you there! ![]() Freshly Made Sketch #321 has this fun layout for us today - let's try it with Color Throwdown #477. When I went hunting for some likely "any" shapes for the sketch, I kept coming back to Color Me Happy - I just love those paper lanterns! I kept the card pretty sparse per the sketch, but tried to sneak in a little detail - the background paper is an old sheet from a Paper Pumpkin kit, as are those sparkly orange sequins. And of course, any chance to play with my Blends is awesome! Color Me Happy Stamp Set; Random Smoky Slate DSP from Paper Pumpkin; Whisper White & Tangerine Tango CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Dark Pumpkin Pie, & Dark & Light Pool Party Blends Markers; Orange Sequins; #FMS321; #CTD477. ![]() I love the little border play along the bottom of this week Case This Sketch #249! It'll be even more fun in these tasty colors from As You See It #164! So, considering the sketch, I couldn't resist pulling out my next preview set, Amazing Congratulations. This set was one of the used to demonstrate the incredible new device, the Stamparatus, which has also converted me to a placement tool believer! I can't wait for us to try this! In teh meantime, I held my breath and knocked out this three-step stamp by hand today, and I LOVE how it came out! There's an outline, and two "fill-in" stamps, that you can do in color grades or mixes, so fun! And of course, six additional phrases to go with the big congrats, lol. I had to do a landscape version of this sketch to get it all on there, but it's still amazing! Amazing Congratulations Stamp Set (2018 Occasions); Whole Lot of Lovely DSP; Whisper White & Flirty Flamingo CS; Pacific Point, Pool Party & Flirty Flamingo Inks; Seasonal Layers Thinlits; White Baker's Twine; #CTS249; #AYSI164. ![]() Love Today Planner Class Dec 14 & 16!

It also just so happens that these colors feature TWO of our newly returning alcohol markers - Stampin' Blends! Woo hoo! A wonderful promotion is on the way, and it will feature a sweet little bundle of products to play with, too - the Color Me Happy stamp set, and a 16 card kit to go with. I decided to break in the new stamps today, and feature these wonderful paper lanterns. The Cherry Cobbler ones are in the Blends, and the Crushed Curry ones were done with ink and an aqua-painter - nice contrast! Anyway, I'm just so excited to have these markers back in our rep - they have a couple new details that I know you'll love!

Sorry, this set still hasn't gotten old for me, and I doubt it ever will, thank goodness...

I think adding in Stamp Ink Paper #117's watercolor challenge will be a "breeze," lol... So, as soon as I saw the theme at Less is More, my mind totally leapt to This Little Piggy, with this adorable winged girl, just waiting to leap off the card! Yay! I also decided to bring in some embossing paste clouds for her to fly through - I can't wait to say "congrats" with this cutie to someone!

I'm using Freshly Made Sketch #299 to help me along, too! It took me a while to notice that I could work the sketch with my Happy Celebrations set - all those swishy fun shapes - there was a long swoosh that's just right! I decided a big 'ole Lemon-Lime dot would be the perfect pairing - remake of "The Dot & The Line, A Romance," stampin' style! Lol...

I'm adding in the flower theme from Stamp Ink Paper #108, too! So, I have to admit, for whatever reason, somehow this combo evoked a hideous case of stamper's block for me! It really does happen! After a hour of playing and fiddling and starting over, I finally had to walk away and have a glass of chardonnay, lol... Fresh eyes in the morning drew me to the gorgeous Delightful Daisy DSP, and I settled on one sheet pretty quickly - don't these look fresh and flowery? From there I went with a stacked bundle of thinlit "congrats," yielding one of my RARE stamp-less cards, lol. Still, I love the play of shapes and colors!

I love how this challenge always combines an inspiration and a sketch - so much choice to play with! Since I just did a red, white and blue challenge yesterday, I think I'll just work with the sketch today. I immediately started thinking in terms of fun shapes I could cluster in the bottom left corner. And I thought, what about clouds? What could I have be flying through? Oh baby, I have JUST the piggy, lol. I've been keeping my eyes open for a chance to use the smart girl, and I'm so jazzed that today was the day. Let's have a moment to celebrate the power of belief!
