![]() Look at the beautiful sketch Inspire Create Challenge #068 has for us this week! So today's retiring set is Stitched All Around! This one is a real sleeper for me, because {gasp} I only got this bundle for the fabulous Stitched Label dies, lol. I think I've actually used the stamp set maybe twice? That figures! Anyway, the sunshine sentiment really caught my eye today, especially since this is such a good time to send some sunshine out into the world! I found a sunny background sheet in the See A Silhouette pack, and then a fine geometric time finagling the circle and sentiments - I am a Stamp-A-Ma-Jig genius, I'll have you know! Stitched All Around Stamp Set; See A Silhouette DSP; Whisper White & Daffodil Delight CS; Daffodil Delight Ink; Basic Black Stamp-n-Write Marker; Stitched Labels Dies; Gold Glitter Enamel Dots; #ICC068. ![]() Man Cards May 16!

![]() I love the versatility of our sketch this week at Fab Friday #189! So, I'm still in "show off the retiring list" mode here - today it's all about Parisian Beauty! I have to admit, this one really surprised me - these dies are over the moon, darn it!! Today I'm finally using this gorgeous swirl, over my texty background and iconic Eiffel Tower. I had some fun playing with my Rectangle Stitched Dies to get this stitched banner shape, too: I cut a long rectangle first, then turned a wider one over the end to take a stitched "bit" for the flag end. Worked pretty good! I can't wait to see what you come up with for our sketch this week - see you at the challenge! Parisian Beauty Stamp Set; Whisper White, Soft Suede, Sot Sea Foam & Crumb Cake CS; Soft Sea Foam, Crumb Cake & Soft Suede Inks; Parisian & Rectangle Stitched Dies; Linen Thread; Frosted Epoxy Droplets; #FabFri189. ![]() Man Cards May 16!

Anyway, I spotted my old Ghoulish Grunge set from 2016 today while going through my retired sets, and decided to use the "drip" from that one for the challenge. I cheered it up a bit with rainbow colors, lol, which made it a perfect match for this sentiment from It Starts With Art, which is retiring with this catty, sigh. I'm all about making room for fun new stuff, but still, this is always a bit of a sad time!

Our big circle shape made me wonder what else I could put there, of course, and I found the perfect alternate in Make a Splash - love this goldfish bowl! This is the perfect sentiment for sending a cheery hello, too, something we can't have too much of right now, I think! So what will YOU create? I can't wait to see what you come up with, over at the challenge! Make a Splash Stamp Set; See a Silhouette DSP; Whisper White, Pool Party & Pretty Peacock CS; Memento Tuxedo Black. Pool Party, Sahara Sand, Pear Pizzazz, Mango Melody & Versamark Inks; Shimmer White EP; High Seas EF; #SSC230. ![]() I am LOVING these bright juicy colors from Inspire Create Challenge #067! OK, it was SO hard to not run straight to our generous Poppy suites for this one - these colors seem lifted straight from that DSP, lol. I couldn't go so far as to not do flowers, though, so next up was Abstract Impressions - I am LOVING this set! It has it all - forgiving images that I can layer, and sweet sweet sentiments to go with - just so fun! I think this will make a bright hello card for these isolated times! Abstract Impressions Stamp Set; Whisper White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss & Pool Party Ink; Layered Leaves EF; Stitched So Sweetly Dies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; ICC067. ![]() Ooo, check out our gorgeous sunset colors this week at Fab Friday #188! So, I've been wanting to do this scraps technique for a few weeks now - it's been out on the bomb blogs recently, and I've been fascinated! And lucky for me, I have the same DSP patterns in all our colors, so it's a go! I started with a black background sheet, trimmed a hair smaller than my usual layer size (4 7/8' x 3 5/8") then I layered on repeating pattern of DSP scraps in our colors: I chopped chunks of 4" scraps, so the ends hung over, and just glued everything in place as I went along. Then I trimmed all my ends, and floated the trimmed panel over another Black layer cut at 5" x 3 3/4", so it looks like they're all floating over the black - COOL! Finish with a happy thought, and we are SET! So, show me your projects in these colors - can't wait to see you at the challenge! Tasteful Textures Stamp Set; Bermuda Bay, Grapefruit Grove, Blushing Bride & Pool Party DSP (retired); Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Stitched So Sweetly Dies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #FabFri188. ![]() Pumpkin "Zoom" Club April 25!

One of the first things I thought of when looking at this cover was this retired Pretty Paisley's embossing folder I still have - a floral oval frame is just the thing! I combined with a bit of the gorgeous Best Dressed DSP, and added this sweet silhouette to finish it off - I have VERY few images of actual children, I've just realized, lol. I really like how simple and sweet the finished card is!

We're hoping you can also pull in "your favorite" as an added theme! When I saw the "favorite" theme, I automatically checked out my DSP stash, and the one I have the least left of is our completely gorgeous See a Silhouette - I think this has been my all-time fave DSP in a LONG time - I love the rich colors and organic patterns! I also LOVE to pair it with my beloved Seaside Notions, also a favorite of mine - who needs dies when you just adore the images anyway! You should see my inside cover of the case - I have sticky note masks of every image in this one, lol. Sigh, I think I'm really missing the ocean these days... I can't wait to see YOUR take on our sketch and theme this week - meet you at the challenge!

Make sure you jump out and check out the DT cards on this one - so many ways to interpret this one! I'm taking a chance and floating a big colored panel for this one - hopefully I'll still fit the brief, lol. I haven't played with bokeh in a while - I think it could also be called "how to make a big mess in new and exciting ways!" My poor White Craft pad will never be the same, I'm afraid, but I really wanted to try some bokeh dots over Pigment Sprinkles. I think it DID come out really cool! Who knew I could play with Melon Mambo and like it?? Anyway, good times in the studio this morning!

I had some fun picking my colors to approximate our inspiration today - they look so cool all stacked up together! Once I had a tropical idea in my head, it was also hard to pivot away from that, so I just let myself go with it and pulled in Waterfront to build my scene. I added some sunny speckles to my background, and a bit of ribbon, finishing with the Candy Dots - I miss these little guys so much! I can't wait to see what YOU do with our colors - I'll meet you at the challenge! Waterfront Stamp Set; Whisper White & Mint Macaron CS; Pretty Peacock.
