![]() Look at this wide open field on Global Design Project #46's sketch! Lots of room to play! So, it's only three or four times a year that I make cards that have NO STAMPING {gasp!} on them. But this sketch reminded me that I've had a special sheet of DSP that I've been hoarding for just the right moment to show off! This copper embossed page from the Affectionately Yours DSP pack has been dying to get out since On Stage in April, lol... There's also so much navy in that set that I decided to go with some Night of Navy accent pieces, and a copper-embossed button - something else I've been wanting to try. Pretty Pretty! Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP; Whisper White & Night of Navy CS; Hello You Thinlets; Versamark Ink; Copper Embossing Powder; Very Vintage Button. ![]() Pumpkin Club July 30!

![]() Woo hoo - check out the "tag" sketch at Freshly Made Sketch #246! I'm totally psyched to pair it up with the bright colors at Nacho Average Challenge #176! I started out thinking I was going to do this geometric color block thing, and then found the jar set still out on my desk. Woops, lol. I tried not to look at it, but then this little voice whispered, "You could do a little jar instead of a tag, and the floating shape could be flowers, and there are skinny sentiments in there, right?" The whisper got louder and louder, I swear! I finally just gave in - you could hear all the little stamps doing a little victory song, sigh... I have it pretty bad for the jars, I guess...

I'm combining it with this cute color challenge over at Can You Case It #129, too! I decided I wanted to achieve my central circular shape with my new favorite thinlets - Swirly Scribbles! They are SO fun! I'm loving using them to add bright splashes of color, in crazy swirly shapes - they're just perfect for that! I settled on a pretty kite to float over my Flirty Flamingo vortex, there, all over a "sparkling" backdrop, lol. Aren't I just all sweetness and light today? Lol...

Nachos are back in the sketch house! So excited to play over at Nacho Average Challenge #175! As soon as I saw that big star shape I knew I wanted to pull out the little triangle shakers from the last Pumpkin kit, Banner surprise. I really haven't played with this one enough yet, because My Pumpkin Challenge is on break for July. Eek! What if I lose my Pumpkin touch?? Can't have that! So I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a Pumpkin opportunity to arise - Nachos win!! I also combined with the gorgeous bonus set All About Everything, and I wanted to see what a little fussy cutting would do wit that sentiment. Not sure it pops enough, but I like the overall look! Banner Surprise Paper Pumpkin; plus, All About Everything Stamp Set; Mint Macaron & Whisper White CS; Tip Top Taupe, Mint Macaron & Peekaboo Peach Inks; Large Oval Punch; Softly Falling EF. ![]() Christmas in July Class July 14 & 16!

RSVP today to reserve your spot! ![]() Lovely layout at this week's Pals Paper Arts #308! For this sketch, I wanted to try and feature some DSP that I've been struggling with - the Affectionately Yours Specialty DSP. I still haven't tapped the gorgeous copper accent sheets, but my main challenge is actually the other sheets - why oh why are these colors so hard for me? So even though I really tweaked and fiddled with this one, I still find the final result "jarring" to my eye (so to speak,) I haven't quite hit on making these colors sing, I don't think. Still, always a good time to play with Jar of Love!

And even though I'm a little late, I'm adding in As You See It #138's red & white theme for Canada Day! So, yeah, after I got going, I couldn't really help myself. I thought, well, you haven't really used your Vintage Leaves lately anyway, and it fits the sketch, so what the heck! I think I've been looking over all my Canadian stampin' friends' blogs too much this week, lol. So, "Oh, Canada..." it is! This one's for you, Brenda Q!

I knew I was changing the shape (of course!) but to what? I kept coming back to Jars of Love - today the images remind me so much of going to the county fair in summer, and winning a fish at some game, and then coming home and chasing fireflies with my sister on the lawn. Good times! We would always try to collect them in a jar at least a few times every summer - we had a special one with holes punched in the lid. You guessed it, the fireflies could always crawl out THROUGH the holes, lol. Oh well, we were always game to keep trying!

Let's try it with Watercooler Wednesday #72's 2016 In Color Challenge! We had so much fun at my recent "Let's Get Messy" class, that I decided to try out some other patterns in my old Irresistibly Yours DSP - I think I might have to break down and get the current papers, Irresistibly Floral! Our new sponge brayers are a dream, too - rinse right out for repeated use! Anyway, after making my leafy background, I made a few flowers to scatter around - I'm pretty pleased with the result! I think of these colors as actually made to go with all our OTHER colors, not each other so much, but it can definitely be made to work!

I'm pairing it with Create With Connie & Mary #410's colors, too! I ended up having to do a quickie for this one - with hubby gone camping, I am definitely out-numbered around here for the duration! I decided to grab a set I haven't used too much, Kinda Eclectic. I figured the sunburst stamp could be nice background element for the sketch, and once I had it out, I decided to go all eclectic all the time, lol! Tried to dress up my butterflies a bit - can you tell I have candy dots still that need to move along??

MAJOR pretty paper opportunity here! I knew right away that I wanted to feature the GORGEOUS Moroccan DSP papers. Which I only felt I could get because Stampin Up! actually GAVE me the accompanying stamp set Moroccan Nights at On Stage Live. Because, shh, I don't think the stamp set would have made my personal wish list, so I probably wouldn't have gotten the paper. And of course, now that I have them both, I totally love them. How does SU! know that about me? What I really like even when I don't like it?? Sigh. Anyway, got my paper fix in today - yay!
