![]() We have such a pretty sketch this week from As You See It #153 - and it has a funny back-story - make sure you go check it out, lol. So, today, I just really wanted to play with the Coffee Cafe set. I fiddled around a bit, and came up with using a folded back layer of DSP to denote that background border - I'm pretty pleased with how it worked out! I added a bit of a retired border punch to add a little detail, and then played with some of the stamps and framelits - so fun! I even rolled out that tiny tag - cuteness!

![]() I love when there's a nice wide open field to play in, like in this week's Freshly Made Sketch #294! The beautiful poppy colors of Color Throwdown #449 will go brilliantly! For these colors, I decided to go with Tangerine Tango, Early Espresso and Wild Wasabi, and I knew I wanted to focus on the green and brown and leave the tangerine for a "splash." As I browsed the shelves for a likely stamp set, I kept returning to my trusty Sheltering Tree. I am so thrilled that this set has enjoyed such a long run in our catty, and I thought a pretty tree with a bright bike could be the perfect scene! I have so enjoyed making bikes in every color my heart desires - I'm adding a tangerine one to my growing bike color wish list, lol...

Think I'll try it in these bright colors from Global Design Project #93! With those three central shapes to address, I decided to pull out my Bunch of Blossoms set. So far, I've only used the totally awesome sentiments in this one, but all the petal and leaf building has me intrigued! I'm not gonna lie - using the punch made for this set is a bit of a PITA, lol. It took me a bit to figure out the most efficient way to crank out some petals without using a ream of paper, but I think the end result is worth it! Good times!

For today's blast from the past, I pulled out my beloved Soft Summer set, all the way from our 2009 Spring Mini catty. When this set came out, I was instantly smitten - growing up in Virginia and West Virginia, we always had dogwood trees in our yard so gorgeous, and so iconic - I had to have them! I never see these beauties here in Arizona - just too hot to thrive, though I hope to one day try to cultivate a little one in a big pot that I can protect with careful watching... These sweet blossoms also got a touch of my carefully hoarded Blush Blossom ink - made for each other!

As I studied this sketch, I suddenly realized that I could trot out the only remaining image that I HAVEN'T used yet from the saucy Crafting Forever set - bring on the paintbrushes! I love this set for the coloring possibilities, and the perfect little sayings that go with every image. I tried to keep things in the Brights family color-wise, to satisfy an optional color challenge that's part of the sketch challenge - I think this might be the first time I've included that, lol. Anyway, I hoarded this bright sheet of dots from our old Painted Blooms DSP just for the stamp set, I think - so perfect! I had to move my candy dots up onto the white areas so they would show!

A little thought helped me realize this sketch is my chance to finally debut another new set - Coffee Cafe! Ta daaa! Lol. As soon as I saw the preview of this set, I coveted the heck out of it - this was the very first suite I ordered out of the fully-released catty! It has everything - adorable stamps, robust framelits, DSP, ribbon, embellies, and well, CAFFEINE, lol. Just kidding. Anyway, I dipped my toe in the coffee today - drink with caution!

OK, I'm thinking these colors might be just the ticket for me to FINALLY get to play with the new hostess set Tranquil Tulips - it's been burning a hole on my desk for a week and half waiting on me! I decided to give myself a nice open field to just play with many the stems, leaves and flowers, to start to get a feel for how all the elements fit together. I finished with a sweet phrase from Banners For You - that one is starting to be my go-to sentiment set these days - how did that happen? Anyway - LOVE these tulips! I need to start some bulbs here, maybe over the winter!

Make sure you check out our awesome sketch! Today I'm pairing it with these tasty fruity colors from Sunday Stamps #155! When I saw these colors, I thought right away of our sophisticated Colorful Seasons set - SO many options and images! Today I wanted to focus on the branches and blossoms, to go along with our fabulous horizontal sketch - so here it is with PLENTY of blossoms, lol. I also tried out one of our new embossing folders, too - this one is called Ruffled. Such a cool effect - these dynamic folders blow me away! Can't wait to see you over at the challenge - let your fab out!

Which I figure makes it a shoe-in for the Feathered Friends challenge over at Paper Players #349, too! Well, this is a primo opportunity for bringing out my beloved Best of Cluck once again, don't you think?? How about a little hoard of chicks, all giving you the chicky eyeball? Done! We're all about chicken in around here, lol... I also had some fun using my Square Stitched Framelit to make a RECTANGLE! Very cool...

I'm combining it with this pretty inspiration pic from Just Add Ink #364! OK, I think I might have copped out a tiny bit on the inspiration pic - I saw that lovely copper pitcher, and that was it for me, lol. I thought, oo, I could play with the new Lemon Zest set, and make copper leaves - how cool would that be!! And so that's how it happened, sigh. Still, what a fun, fun set, and cute layout and details to play with - I do love it!
