![]() Here's a fun and fresh sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #389! I'm combining it with this gorgeous color challenge from In{k}spire Me #232! With another landscape (yay!) to fill, I decided this would be a great time to try out my new World Traveler embossing folder, and since I was travelin', I decided to bring out the SAB set Sky is the Limit, too. Fun times! I love this card, and had a great time putting it together, but wow, I was shocked by some of the color gaps in my accessories that were revealed to me: TONS of the retired Not Quite Navy stuff, ZERO in Night of Navy. How did that happen? Going to my catty NOW! Sky is the Limit Stamp Set; Happy Haunting DSP (retired); Tip Top Taupe, Night of Navy, Soft Sky & Whisper White CS; Night of Navy & Tip Top Taupe Inks; World Traveler Embossing Folder; Ovals Collection Framelits; Regals Candy Dots in Night of Navy. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 30!

![]() Wow, we're already on week 2 of a MPC-0116 - A Full Year of Fun! Think I'll combine today's set with this fun sketch over at TGIF #37, too! Continuing my note card theme, I've come up with two quick congratulatory notes I'll be needing to send out soon - in two different color schemes! Looking over my supplies, I had lots of the light blue flowers, and lots of the yellow ones - I threw in lots of different size pearls to help fill in the sketch idea, too - sweet and dreamy, all the way! One Great Year Paper Pumpkin; plus, Seriously Amazing Paper Pumpkin Stamp Set; Soft Sky & So Saffron CS; Lost Lagoon & Delightful Dijon Inks; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Basic Jewel Pearls and Jumbo Pearls (retired). ![]() Birthday Cards Class Jan 14 & 16!

I can't believe I'm about to attempt this, but I think I'll try to put together THREE challenges in this card! Yikes! First up is Just Add Ink #286's unusual "Anything With a W" challenge. Then we have colors from SU-per #110. If all goes as I hope, this will all be wrapped into this cute sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #379 - whew!
A quick scan of my stampin' shelves quickly suggested a pretty literal interpretation of the JAI challenge - hm, I have a big happy alphabet just sitting there! I quickly paired it with Bravo, and then started playing with circle punches for CCMC, lol. I knew I wanted to keep it clean and simple - splashes of color on white, but I got a little distracted by the realization that I had buttons on hand in all the colors, so I caved and added those, too, for SU-per. Whew, again! I made it! Epic Alphabet & Bravo Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Tangelo Twist & Elegant Eggplant CS; Tangelo Twist & Elegant Eggplant Inks; 1 3/4", 1 12/" & 1 1/4" Circles, and PL Corner Rounder Punches; Buttons in Basic Black (Neutrals), Elegant Eggplant (Regals) & Tangelo Twist (SAB 2015); White Baker's Twine.

I think I'll pull in the colors from Stamps, Ink, Paper #10's inspiration picture, too... I started out not being quite sure where this one was going, but I got stuck on a little woo-hoo, lol. Folks close to me know this is probably one of my most frequently used replies when texting, along with "Yay!"! I guess I'm a pretty rah-rah texter... It was funny to stamp it over and over again here... I tacked on the congrats and a star to polish it off. Now that I'm finished, I realize that this is also pretty much my local high school's color scheme, too. That'll be handy! Bravo & Be the Star Stamp Sets; Sahara Sand, Basic Gray, Cherry Cobbler & Whisper White CS; Basic Gray, Sahara Sand, Cherry Cobbler & Smoky Slate Inks; Stars Framelits; Banner Triple Punch; Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine. ![]() Pumpkin Club August 29!

Let's go a little fruity, shall we? As soon as I saw this lovely paper in the Farmer's Market DSP, I knew I wanted to pair it up with the pear shape in the Silhouettes & Script stamp set - a match made in the market, lol! In the spirit of full disclosure, I several times attempted to "rock and roll" the stamp in Mossy Meadow, too, but it just was NOT working for me today. So I settled for hand-cutting a little layer of CS behind the image to try and get some contrast going... Silhouettes & Script Stamp Set; Farmers Market DSP; Hello Honey, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow & Very Vanilla CS; Hello Honey & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Gold Baker's Twine. ![]() Christmas in July Class! It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yay! OK, can you tell how excited I am that we got Christmas back in the "Big Book?"

Class is still on for Saturday, July 11 at 3 pm. Class will feature 6 cards for $25, and includes all your supplies, snacks and drinks, and a party favor from me! RSVP today to save your spot, or let me know if you'd like to have a make-up class if these times don't suit! ![]() Oh ho ho - check out this week's challenge at TGIF #8! Together Forever! Nice! I think that theme will go great with this week's In{k}spire Me #203's subtle color challenge! i ended up having to dig through the "Room of Retirement" for this one, lol. I just knew I wanted to pull out this old image from the retired Take It To Heart set, especially after all the set hints at TGIFC, giggle. I haven't gotten too many of the weddings sets lately. I have high hopes to soon - both my niece and my nephew have weddings planned for next year, and I hope to do up some goodies for them with whatever happens to be current then! Don't want to jump to soon, know what I mean? Anyway, my eye caught another retired set for the "Bride & Groom," and I've always loved this sentiment from John 15, too. A real mish-mash, huh? Hope I brought some harmony! ODB Scripture Collection 6, Take It To Heart (retired) & Sweet Essentials (retired) Stamp Sets; Smoky Slate, Hello Honey, Whisper White & Blushing Bride CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Smoky Slate & Hello Honey Inks; Hearts Collection Framelits (retired); 1/4" Cotton Ribbon in Blushing Bride. ![]() Pumpkin Club June 27!

Remember to subscribe here if you haven't already - sign up by July 10 and you can join us in time for next month! ![]() I'm so glad we have a color challenge this week at Fab Friday #65 - it gives me more chances to experiment with my "kissing" technique, lol... No, that doesn't mean what you THINK it means - it's a bona fide stampin' technique, I promise! The idea is, you ink up a fairly solid or filled image with one color, and then either "kiss off" some of the ink with a patterned stamp, or "kiss on" the pattern in a darker ink. I have to admit, it doesn't sound very mannerly when I put it like that, snicker. For today's card, I inked up my sentiment "bubble" with Hello Honey, and stamped on a pattern in both Marina Mist and Night of Navy. Then I did the center one with just Marina Mist and Night of Navy. I think that one came out best... A quick zig-zaggy background, and I was set! So let's see your colors this week - and join us at Fab Friday! I Think You're Great & Work of Art Stamp Sets; Marina Mist, Night of Navy & Whisper White CS; Night of Navy, Marina Mist & Hello Honey Inks; 1/4" Grosgrain in Marina Mist (retired); Word Bubbles Framelits (retired); Regals Candy Dots in Night of Navy. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30!

I totally have to find something funky for that! I think I found it in my Well Worded set, lol. I'm still trying to feature some retiring sets - I actually got a hat-trick out this one! It's also nice that I'm on a bit of a man card kick, too - not my usual genre, lol. I'm going to miss this mustache framelit - it's going to have to hover around here in the background with the chickens, I think! Well-Worded, Backgrounds Rule & Skinny Mini Alphabet Stamp Sets (all retiring); Adventure Bound DSP Stack; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Sahara Sand & Very Vanilla CS; Early Espresso & Cajun Craze Inks; Mustache Framelit; Regals Button in Cajun Craze; Linen Thread. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

RSVP now to make sure I have your materials ready and waiting! ![]() I'm so excited to introduce this month's Pumpkin Challenge - #0515 - Let's Hear It For The Bows! I got to pick this one, and it really fell into place when I saw our latest kit, "Love you A Lot!" Eee! For some reason when I was getting started today, I totally went into a Pumpkin Nostalgia Moment. I think it's because I label all my sets with the names and release dates showing, and I happened to see, April 2013 was the hilarious "Seriously" kit! And seriously, it's a perfect match for THIS set, IMHO! Since I was going all nostalgia, I pulled out my old Many Mustaches single, too - just narrow enough to fit on the little white card layer that comes with Love You A Lot. Yee-Haw came in next because of the mustachios, lol. Sometimes my mind just goes in strange directions, what can I say? Make sure you link your awesome creations over at My Pumpkin Challenge #0515 - with bows on! Paper Pumpkin - Love You A Lot; plus, Seriously (Paper Pumpkin April 2013), Many Mustaches (retired) & Yee-Haw Stamp Sets; Crushed Curry CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Brights Candy Dots in Pacific Point; Lucky Stars Embossing Folder. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

I thought I really stretched today - I very rarely do a color challenge without combining it with a sketch. I figured with so many color challenges running this week, I had to get over that! So I just played, and finally hit on coloring up this big fun stamp from Bravo with markers (Get it? The Stamp From Bravo, a new western coming to a theater near you! God, I crack myself up... Yeah, not THAT funny, I know!) Anyway, I left it pretty simple, and also finally realized it's kind of similar to yesterday's card in layout. Woops! Oh well, still fun! Bravo Stamp Set; Birthday Bash Specialty DSP; Whisper White, Crushed Curry & Calypso Coral CS; Night of Navy Crushed Curry & Calypso Coral Inks; 1/4 Grosgrain in Night of Navy (retired); Basic Jewel Rhinestone. |
