We have a lovely "take flight" theme to play along with at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #526! I found just the thing for this on the shelves - I haven't used this paper airplane yet, I don't think! I kept things pretty simple, and showed a few flying all crazy! To add some color, with a nod to the sketch picture, I stamped and fussy cut the planes themselves from a few different bright colors! With all those straight lines, it was a snap! I finished with a few Pool Party sequins, too. This is such a versatile set - I love all these cute travel images! Sweet Farewell Stamp Set; Basic White, Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Bermuda Bay CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party Sequins; #CI526. Fall Cards Class Sep 11!

Have to say I LOVE Less Is More #450's challenge this week - one layer spots - dots are my favorite! So off I went in search of "good dots." Did I mention they're my favorite candy, too? And my favorite phone game? Dots everywhere! I was excited when I found this one, with pretty shading and texture built right in, AND a great sentiment to boot! So, yes, that IS an avocado pit, lol, from Garden Goodness that retired last year! That avocado was the whole reason I got that set to begin with, so playing with the pit seems totally right to me! Garden Goodness Stamp Set (retired 2020); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Pizzazz, Rich Razzleberry & Gorgeous Grape Inks; Hope Box Paper Pumpkin Sequins; #LIM450. Oo, In{k}spire Me #456 has such a pretty combo this week - I love the movement in this sketch, AND the bold colors! So, I definitely took some liberties here: square cards are harder for me to mail, so I scrapped that, and, well, a sketch is just a guideline, right? Lol, I'm a rebel in my own mind! I love how these patriotic colors translated into bold stitchy flowers with In Bloom, and I was so happy to find dotty scraps in the right DSP colors for my columns. Gotta love it when it all comes together! In Bloom Stamp Set; Night of Navy & Balmy Blue DSP scraps; Basic White, Real Red, Balmy Blue & Night of Navy CS; Night of Navy & Real Red Inks; Pierced Blooms Dies; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #IM456. Such a super fun combo at this week's Fusion Crayons challenge! Who doesn't love a nice fresh box of crayons?? So I don't have a good crayon image to work with, but I DO still have my delightful It Starts With Art bundle! I love this little trio of drawing tools included there, and I took my color inspiration from my Playing With Patterns Resin Dots that just popped up on my desk! I even had a scrap of Purple Posy left for my sentiment! I love how clean and simple this turned out! It Starts With Art Stamp Set (retired 2020); Basic White, Coastal Cabana & Purple Posy (retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Purple Posy (retired) & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Coastal Cabana Stamp-n-Write Marker; Coastal Cabana Resin Dots; #FusionCrayons. Such fun shapes to play with and layer this week with our sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #521! I'd been holding off on the gorgeous new Beauty of Tomorrow suite until the DSP came in - and it finally did! I was so psyched to take this paper, Blackberry Beauty, out to play! I chose this sheet of lovely wild stems, and touches of gilding on the tiny blossoms - love it! I pulled in the stamp set as well, with this sweet sentiment, and a couple of these pretty birds for accents - I feel like I'm in a wild blackberry meadow for sure! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this one - meet you at the challenge! Beauty of Tomorrow Stamp Set; Blackberry Beauty DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Early Espresso & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Beautiful Leaves Dies; Banners Pick a Punch; Gilded Gems; #TSOT521.

We're checking our horizons this week at Sunday Stamps #264 with this fun landscape sketch! When I started thinking about the two-tone background, I realized I wanted to show off some DSP there, and my Sweet As A Peach suite has NOT been getting enough air time! I set up two pretty patterns together and banded them with some Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon. I next stamped out my own branch of peaches with a little help from the amazing Peach Dies, and added this simple sentiment. A couple of my final peachy sequins leftover from last month's Paper Pumpkin, and I am all set! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our sketch this week - meet you at the challenge!

Such a cute inspiration pic at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #525 - love those colors! I went back and forth and finally settled on the Measure of Love stamp set - I really couldn't help it for this challenge, lol! I know we don't have have cupcakes on our cards, but sometimes, well, it just works out that way! This is actually the first time I've used this little pyramid of cupcakes, and I decided to color with Blends, rather than use the little fill-in stamps - tasty! I kept things really simple, added some layering, and finally finished with some leftover Paper Pumpkin sequins - perfect color match! Measure of Love Stamp Set; Basic White & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Real Red Ink; Medium Crumb Cake Blendability Marker (retired); Pool Party & Real Red Blends Markers; Pool Party Sequins; #CI525.

Wow, what a lovely "garden" inspiration quote Time Out Challenges #193 has for us this week! Somehow, I don't have any rose stamps, or I think I would have gone that route, but, my Dragonfly Garden set has this lovely "growing" sentiment in it, so I went with that! I stamped the simple flower spray on one side and colored in with blends, then added a pretty dragonfly swooping in, finishing with the sentiment. I also broke open my new Sequins For Everything pack, and found these pretty yellow ones - what a treasure trove! And just my kind of garden - a little unruly! Dragonfly Garden Stamp Set; Basic White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Old Olive, So Saffron & Crumb Cake Blends; Dragonflies Punch; Sequins For Everything; #TOC193.

I think I might have to put the brakes on my anti-flower campaign, sigh, I couldn't really find any current ones that I wanted to play with today! So, of course, I went with fish instead, lol. I just got to thinking how I could imagine a pretty school of tropical fish, cruising around, and remembered I have Seascape to set the scene with! A little seaweed, a couple sets of pilot fish, and my big bright beauties have the perfect cruising gang! Very fun! I can't wait to see YOUR bright projects for this one - meet you at the challenge!

When I went off balloon hunting, I came across this little guy in Count On Me - so I had to make a penguin army, floating away, lol. So cute!
