![]() OK, check out this GORGEOUS inspiration pic from Paper Craft Crew #248! I'm matching it with this full-coverage sketch from In{k}spire Me #305! I knew as soon as I saw that PCC pic, I wanted to bring in Eastern Beauty - how not?! Now, I can't lie, this card was a beast to make, and yes, I have lots of new chad confetti all over the carpet, but I was determined to render some beautiful coordinating medallions, and jigsaw it all to the sketch. I'm pretty pleased at how it all came out - almost just as I imagined, I swear, lol. These are amazing colors together! Hint: today also marks the day I discovered that the circle in the Merry Tags Framelits is the perfect 'tween 1 1/8" - yay! Might have to move it to my Layering Circles set!

![]() I'm so excited I have the stamp set for What Will You Stamp #120 - Badges & Banners! I think this sketch from Stamp Ink Paper #103 will be perfect, AND I'll render everything in these fun colors from Color Throwdown #447! So, I wasn't feeling very vanilla today, lol, but hey, I think you can hardly tell that the Eastern Palace DSP is really with VV and not Whisper White, don't you? I decided to layer some of the badge shapes so that I could fit in my colors, and I love that look! I think this set might have to come out more often, now, lol. A little touch of ribbon, some bright Enamel Shapes, and I think this card is done! Badges & Banners Stamp Set; Eastern Palace DSP; Whisper White & Crumb Cake CS; Lemon Lime Twist, Crumb Cake & Tempting Turquoise Inks; Best Badge Punch; Tempting Turquoise Enamel Shapes; Lemon Lime Twist Finely Woven Ribbon; #WWYS120; #SIP103; CTD447. ![]() I really like SU Only #176's "in the garden" theme - as always, I have high hopes for mine this year! This sketch from Paper Craft Crew #247 looks pretty perfect, and I even think I can squeeze in the colors from Color Throwdown #446! Woo! So glad I finally got a chance to use my Touches of Texture set - so many subtle details I'll get to add to my projects! I also decided to add in a sentiment from our brand new set Lovely Friends, as well - such a dynamic font, and great variety of shapes and sizes! I decided to feature some bees, 'cause they're doing such a favor in my garden right now - tomatoes and chilis and eggplants, oh my! Sometimes it gets a little too warm for these guys around here - I try to keep water and shade out for them! Touches of Texture & Lovely Friends Stamp Sets; Wild Wasabi, So Saffron & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Wild Wasabi, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Delight Inks; #SUO176; #PCC247; #CTD446. ![]() Hm, a sensation of fabulousness is sweeping over me - it must be Fab Friday #114 time! Lol. So excited that we can finally play with all five of our new In Colors! I'm combining with Global Design Project #90's sweet sketch today, too! Speaking of sweet, did you take a look at the new RMHC set?? More jars to play with - hooray!! Berries and bugs, baby! I'm opting for the butterflies - I can pack a LOT of colors on those, I think, lol. I found a nice background DSP in the gorgeous Whole Lot of Lovely DSP, and I'm good to go! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - see you at the challenge!! Sharing Sweet Thoughts Stamp Set; Whole Lot of Lovely DSP; Whisper White & Fresh Fig CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Fresh Fig, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Powder Pink & Tranquil Tide Markers; Everyday Jars Framelits; White Baker's Twine; Silver Sequins; #FabFri114; #GDP90. ![]() New Catty Preview Class June 10!

So what happens when you don't have DSP and embellies in all your new colors yet? You go off the rez and make your own, lol. I just refused to give up on this one, and I even ended up with something I actually like, too! This was my first try at playing with our Fabulous Floral Acetate, too (make sure to check for film BEFORE adhering down, and ALL the sheets have film - ask me how I know??) and I think it's a great way to add a metallic accent to a solid color like Night of Navy. Powder Pink plays nicely here - the pic doesn't do it justice! Lovely Inside & Out Stamp Set; Fabulous Foil Designer Acetate; Night of Navy, Whisper White, Gold Foil & Powder Pink CS; Night of Navy & Powder Pink Inks; Layering Ovals Framelits; Lovely Words Thinlets; Gold Enamel Shapes; #PCCC246; #CTD445. ![]() New Catty Preview Class June 8 & 10!

It will be the perfect starting point for Paper Players #345 clean and simple butterflies! Even I can't never miss this gimme to use the beautiful Watercolor Wings set - so fun and elegant to use the versatile elements in this one! Mix and match colors, markings and sizes for all our butterflies, and, of course, framelits and thinlits for even more options. Yup, this is our butterfly staple set! Love my colors this time - I made a special effort to stay off the Lime and Fig, lol!

This sketch is meant to be "300" in Roman Numerals - "CCC." So clever! I think it will be fun to work in these bright colors from Paper Players #344, too! I decided today to just barely dip my toe in an extensive new suite from the new catty, Colorful Seasons. I focused on one tiny element of the set, the leaf shapes, but this is such a comprehensive collection: stamp set, thinlits, papers, embellies - I think we'll be doing a feature class on just this! I started small today, so I don't get "design intimidation" later, lol. Colorful Seasons Stamp Set; Pear Pizzazz & Whisper White CS; Pear Pizzazz, Real Red, Tangerine Tango & Tempting Turquoise Inks; Layering Squares Framelits; Seasonal Layers Thinlits; Banner Triple Punch; #IM300; #PP344. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 27!

I'm going to add in Less Is More #328's spots and/or stripes challenge, too - maybe I can crack the LIM code eventually! So, I really wanted to preview another new stamp set today, and our super-cute Crafting Forever had a shape that I thought could fit for my sort of deconstructed version of the sketch. Here's my thinking: kind of blocky on one side, and a long vertical on the other - does that make any sense? Sorry, still working on achieving the "clean and simple" aesthetic, lol... Maybe I've swung too far the other way now, lol... At least the attempts are still fun! Crafting Forever & Watercolor Wishes Stamp Sets; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Tempting Turquoise & Rich Razzleberry Inks; Brights Enamel Dots; #MTS176; #LIM328. ![]() I love all the layered elements on this week's Sunday Stamps #152! I think these sophisticated colors from Less Is More #327 will be just right here, too! So, I'm totally psyched that I have my 2017-18 Catalog pre-order to play with - woot woot! Today I'm featuring a lovely bundle called Lovely Inside & Out. It has a set of of thinlits that can highlight some of the key phrases in the stamp set, called Lovely Words (everything's lovely, get it? Lol...) and those thinlits also pair up with many of a "layering" framelit shapes - today's choice goes with the Sweet & Sassy set of hearts. I'm glad I had a limited color choice to rein me in - I felt myself starting to gallop at the end there, lol...

I'm also slipping in Just Add Ink #358's "stitching" challenge! It's actually been a bit overcast here this weekend - did you hear about our 34 degree temp drop in 48 hours??!! Unheard of here in AZ - it's like monsoon has started a month early - argh! With all these temperature up and downs, I decided I need some brightness - so I hauled out the rainbow along with the quirky Just Keep Swimming set - and had a blast! Then I realized that my brights sequins were made for this card, too, and there we have it - sparkly gems galore!
