![]() Another fabulous day with Fab Friday #120's color challenge this week! Everything's better with a little Lemon-Lime, don't you think? Our layout comes from Sunday Sketch #160 - lovely curves and layers! I have to admit, when I first saw our colors this week, I had a little "moment," lol. Then I realized, what pretty colors for a bunch of flowers, and HOW long has it been since I played with Jar of Love?? Too long, clearly, lol! I love how my little jar came out, and I love matching this set with sentiments from Beautiful Bouquet - next time I have to remember to put THOSE flowers in a jar! I can't wait to see your Fab creations - see you at the challenge! Jar of Love & Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Tranquil Tide, Peekaboo Peach & Tangerine Tango CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Tranquil Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Peekaboo Peach & Tangerine Tango Inks; Everyday Jars & Layering Circles Framelits; Large Delicate Doilies Sizzlet (retired); Tangerine Tango Baker's Twine; Peekaboo Peach Enamel Dots; #FabFri119; #SSC160.

![]() Here's a fun bold sketch from In{k}spire Me #314! I think this coffee and calls inspiration pic from Just Add Ink#374 will go perfect! So, it was totally a no-brainer to pull out my Coffee Cafe set for this inspiration pic, right? BUT, I did get to thinking about how I wished I had more sentiments to go with it. I even visited the Room fo Retirement to look over all my old tea sets, but nothing quite right, sigh. Then I remembered, what about Balloon Celebration? It has that one odd-ball set of words that really is for a drinking set! Yay! I picked hot chocolate for my drink of choice, and threw on some whipped cream to celebrate, lol...

I'm adding in Just Add Ink #373's stencils challenge, too! Another preview set burning away on my to-do pile has been Pick a Pumpkin, which is available bundled with the Patterned Pumpkin thinlits. Once again, the thinlits add a lot of details that are NOT in the stamp set itself - I love that! I could only add in a couple today, but this adds so much scope to the set! I see many happy pumpkin days ahead, lol... I used my set of Patterned Party stencils for my background, but I'm stoked to hear that my Embossing Paste is now on its way - whew! Can't wait to play with that! Pick a Pumpkin & Wood Words Stamp Sets; Cajun Craze, Lemon Lime Twist, Whisper White, Old Olive & Garden Green CS; Cajun Craze, Tangerine Tango, Pumpkin Pie & Old Olive Inks; Layering Circle Framelits; Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits; Pattern Party Decorative Masks; Touches of Nature Elements; Pumpkin Pie Candy Dots (retired); #PCC256; #JAI373. ![]() Pumpkin Club August 26!

I'm using Freshly Made Sketch #301 for my layout, and Color Throwdown #456's juicy colors, too! Ahhh, today was such a fun stampin' experience for me! It had everything I love: fun shapes, coloring, fussy cutting, and of course, you can't go wrong with the yummy subject matter, lol. Now that it's all done and assembled, I wonder if I look like some kind of uber-lush - imagine these as fruity sparkling sodas - OK? I can't wait to see what you do with Mixed Drinks this week!

Let's try it in these gorgeous sherbet colors from Sunday Stamps #159! OK, gotta put this out there - before this challenge, I don't think I had really put together how many shades of pink we have in SUSU land! Whoa! I hope I can keep my supply list straight on this one... ANYWAY, this seemed like a perfect layout and color scheme for our gorgeous Climbing Orchid set. I tried to channel my walks through the orchid house at the National Botanical Gardens while I colored, and I think I mostly succeeded. I used to love to pack a lunch and hang out there - like a jeweled jungle, sigh. Believe it or not, I used to cut school to go to the Smithsonians when I was in high school, what kind of delinquent does THAT? A cultured one, I think... Climbing Orchid Stamp Set; Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron, Whisper White, Calypso Coral & Powder Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Powder Pink, Flirty Flamingo, So Saffron & Calypso Coral Inks; Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon & Enamel Shapes; #TGIF120; #SSC159. ![]() I'm seeing stars over at Match the Sketch #189! I'm trying it out in these fun colors from Just Add Ink #372! I think maybe I was thirsty when I started putting this card together, lol. I'm not sure that these colors naturally lend themselves to cute mixed drinks, but I had refreshing and frosty on the brain,. and so just kept going! And by the time I got to my last drink, all that was left was my Tranquil Tide straw, lol. Wish there was some way I could insert that empty glass slurping noise here... Gross! Mixed Drinks Stamp Set; Whisper White & Tranquil Tide CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Powder Pink, Pool Party & Tranquil Tide Inks; Iridescent Sequins; #MTS189; #JAI372. ![]() Love this curvy sketch from Fusion's Pastel Pencils combo! I'm adding in TGIF #119's colors, though - can't get enough of the Lemon Lime Twist ride! This seems to be my week for Colorful Seasons, lol, and this time, I'm combining it with the Swirly Scribbles thinlits to address the sketch. I trimmed out the big swoosh to come closer to that lovely long curve, and realized I was going pretty clean and simple again - nice! I added a few Crushed Curry dots to keep the pretty flying leaf company! Colorful Seasons Stamp Set; Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Crushed Curry Inks; Swirly Scribbles Thinlits; Crushed Curry Enamel Shapes; #FusionPencils; #TGIF119. ![]() Coffee Cafe Class Aug 10 & 12! I'm so excited we finally get to play with our beautiful new Coffee Cafe bundle! This class has been so much fun to design - almost too much - I think I can get caffeine from DSP now, lol.

I sure hope I see you all there!

Totally matching it with these colors from In{k}spire Me #311! I had a bit of a time with this sketch - which is super cute, don't get me wrong! But I wanted to do something a little different, of course - how could I make it work in a different orientation?? Argh! Then I remembered our Colorful Seasons suite - there are some beautiful sideways branches in there, and some varied blossoms to go with - YES! I'm actually really pleased with how this card came out - simple, spare, but lovely. Whew. Saved by the thinlits AGAIN.

I'm excited to combine it with Color Throwdown #454's "dog days" challenge, and with Just Add Ink #371's choose two - DSP, kids or pets - a natural fit! So, a pet-themed browse through my stamp stash turned up my lovely Mediterranean Moments - this chubby kitty is posing just right for us! I dug out some retired DSP in the right colors, and took off from there! I have to admit, this card reminded me how much I missed our cat when we went road-tripping with the dogs this summer - though I think the cat had more fun, lol.

I'm combining today with Less Is More #339's piercing challenge, too! I was feeling citrus-y today - Trader Joe's had their lightly candied orange slices in produce this morning - YUM! So out had to come Lemon Zest when I git home, of course! These lemons are a natural pairing with Lemon Lime Twist and a leafy background. I managed to squeeze in some piercing on my circle, too - all my boxes checked! (And of course, my inside sentiment says "Live it with zest!")
