![]() Here's a fun layout from Freshly Made Sketch #284! And, after I put together a loose plan, I realized that I could adjust slightly to include Just Add Ink #356's "just choose two" challenge this week - wheeee! I'm so glad we get another year with Balloon Celebration - I have to say this is my go-to party and celebration set, and I never get tired of the permutations of balloons I can create with it, lol. The sentiments are so varied, too - I love combing them with other sets as well! I also decided to use the sprinkles paper from Tasty Treats DSP to dictate my colors - can't go wrong with an ice cream inspiration, don't you think?? (Oops, I just noticed that with the sequins, I chose three instead of two - sorry!) Balloon Celebration Stamp Set; Tasty Treats DSP; Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Watermelon Wonder & Crumb Cake Inks; Balloon Bouquet Punch; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Silver Sequins; #FMS284; #JAI356. ![]() Pumpkin Club April 29!

![]() I love the idea of a little cluster of shapes on this week's Freshly Made Sketch #272! Fun! I think it will look awesome in these bright colors from Create With Connie & Mary #442! After browsing my stamp collection for a bit, I decided I wanted to finally ink up Dragonfly Dreams - time to dip in my toes! I wanted to see what some bright pretty wings might look like - but I'm not convinced this was the color challenge to try it on, lol. I like the look of the colors the more time goes by - I'm hampered because I don't work in these brights too much! I think I at least have a sense of movement and energy... Dragonfly Dreams & Sunshine Sayings Stamp Sets; Crushed Curry, Emerald Envy, Whisper White & Pacific Point CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Emerald Envy & Pacific Point Inks; Detailed Dragonflies Thinlits; Layering Circles Framelits; Emerald Envy Ruched Ribbon; Silver Enamel Shapes; #FMS272; #CCMC442. ![]() Oh, funny, I just had my vintage leaves out earlier - glad I get to feature them again with What Would You Stamp #81! I'm going to add the colors from this weeks Global Design Project #53, AND, just for fun, toss in this fun sketch from Nacho Average Challenge #180! That's right, folks, a three-fer! For these colors, I definitely wanted to do some heat embossing! I hoped that gold embossed on Navy would look pretty striking, and I think I was right - cool effect! Other than that, I tried to keep this card fairly simple - not a lot of layers, simple details. Glad I got the chance to play with my metallic enamel shapes more, too! Vintage Leaves & Suite Sayings Stamp Sets; Affectionately Yours DSP; Whisper White, Gold Foil & Night of Navy CS; Gold Encore, Not Quite Navy & Watermelon Wonder Inks; Gold EP; Leaflet Framelits; Banner Triple Punch; Gold Enamel Shapes. ![]() I'm loving the sketch over at Sunday Stamps #132 this week! I'm also super excited to see Foxy Friends as the featured set over at What Will You Stamp #75 - gotta play! I decided to go with a kitty this time for Foxy Friends - haven't done that one yet! Those little whiskers are the cutest! I also used the accompanying punch to do his little ear triangles - so strange that there isn't a stamp for those, except on the raccoon face... My daughter loves cats, I figure this will be a good card for her next time we're celebrating something good! Foxy Friends & Mixed Drinks Stamp sets; A Little Foxy DSP; Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Whisper White & Calypso Coral CS; Smoky Slate & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Fox Builder, 2 1/2" Circle & Chevron (retired) Punches; Wood Grain EF; Sequins (I think these are left over from the Watercolor Wishes kit!) ![]() Thoughtful Branches Class Aug 11 & 13!

OK, so I know it's a little bit of a cheat, BUT, I always like to keep my SAB sets in play til the end of the main catty. That way, I can just relocate everyone to the Room of Retirement all at once, lol... I also figure, hey, maybe everyone else is still using theirs too, and wants another fun idea! In that spirit, this card was born! I love to take that how "any shape" concept as far as I can, you know...

![]() Aww, here we already are on week 4 of MPC-0116 - A Full Year of Fun! What a fun kit this has been for me - I feel so ready for the next couple of months! For this week, I really wanted to use those two "meadow scene" panels that came with the kit - so soft and pretty, AND I have so many of the die-cut flowers left to play with that need a field to grow in! I was so pleased to use a few of my remaining fancy pieces on some special congrats cards, which I know I've been hitting hard lately. Deal is, my stampin' team, the Saguaro Stampers, has been ROCKING it lately! I love to send them all little notes letting them know I notice their hard work - they so deserve it! You so inspire me, ladies! Love you! One Great Year Paper Pumpkin; plus, Blissful Bouquet Paper Pumpkin; Gold Foil, Whisper White & Old Olive CS; Soft Suede Ink; Banner Punch. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 30!

I'm combining it with the rich color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary #390, too! As I type this, I just realized I must have sublimated the stars in the sketch, since I went so "star" crazy in my final version, lol... In thinking over the sketch, I decided I wanted to use letters for the shapes, but I needed to figure out how to handle a three color challenge, too! To be honest, I added on the star theme when I realized the cute heart shape in Epic Alphabet wouldn't fit where I wanted to use it! It all snow-balled from there! See how my mind works? Epic Alphabet & Seriously (Paper Pumpkin April 2013) Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Real Red CS; Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey & Real Red Inks; Stars Framelits; Banner Punch; Lucky Stars Embossing Folder; Brights Sequins. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 30!
