![]() I'm really liking the possibilities of this week's sketch from Watercooler Wednesday #70! And look at that, I have a box from my Mother Ship arrived, just today, lol... That's right, Foxy Friends wins the "First Inked" contest in my craft room, lol. I just could not wait to get my hands on this little gang of critters - the only challenge will be picking out sentiments to go with! For today, I tried a blend of old and new, and went with this one from Friendly Wishes - love it!

![]() Today's cute challenge is brought to us by Stamp Ink Paper #50! So, I happen to have a dearth of current DSP just now, with the catalog rollover, so I thought I'd go check out my pre-order pack of Affectionately Yours for something to play with - score! While some of the color combos are pretty busy, there's also this Watermelon Wonder sheet that's just perfect! A bright sentiment and a few flowers later, and this simple card makes my heart sing! (I still can't wait for my first order to arrive, though - eee!) Scenic Sayings and Love & Affection Stamp Sets; Affectionately Yours DSP; Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Watermelon Wonder CS; Watermelon Wonder & Crushed Curry Inks; Circles Framelits (retired-new nested ones on order!): Spring Flowers EF; Crushed Curry Enameled Dot. ![]() Let's Get Messy Class June 9 and 11!

Another exciting day in my card creation universe - trying out a new-to-me sketch challenge! Woo! Today's combo is brought to you by Global Design Project #38, and I'm throwing in What Will You Stamp #66's Tap, Tap, Tap challenge. I'm going to miss that little typewriter! Since this sweet set is moving into the Room of Retirement this week {SOB}, I decided to really add some glad rags - who wouldn't want a Bermuda Bay typewriter with Calypso Coral keys?? I think it's a must-have have for all aspiring tropical authors, lol...

This one will be awesome to go with Stamp Ink Paper #49's flower theme! For this card, I decided to trot out one of my fave techniques for my old Blendabilities - yes, I have hoarded mine all this time, and I still love them! With them still unavailable, I tend not to use them as much, but they still have honored desk space, lol. Anyway, I love to use them to "paint" white heat embossing, on black - it SO makes those colors pop! I'm really happy with how this one came out - and I think I need to put Hawaii on the calendar! Flower Patch Stamp Set; Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Whisper White Craft, and Old Olive, Pacific Point & Bermuda Bay (on envelope) Inks; White Embossing Powder; Coastal Cabana, Old Olive, Bermuda Bay & Night of Navy Blendies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones & Jumbo Rhinestones. ![]() Oh bummer, here we are on our final week of My Pumpkin Challenge #0516 - 3-D Galore - it's been so fun! Let's see if I can sneak in something 3-D on this sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #407! And what the heck, let's throw in these colors from Just Add Ink #312, too! With this sketch, I decided to bring out our recent Pumpkin BONUS stamp set - All About Everything. It's so awesome! I wondered what these colors would look like in our scribbly flowers, and I tried my hand at burnishing up the petals with my scoring tool to add some depth and dimension. I like it! Definitely worked out better than I thought - and as you can see, it took me to a Happy Place!

But, argh, almost too much freedom, lol... After some of my usual dithering, I decided to play with DSP, and of course, i have the gorgeous pre-order pack called Affectionately Yours - yum! There are two specialty sheets that feature copper printing - oh-so-tempting today, but I kept coming back to this navy-crumb sheet. How cool with a white set off? This card was super simple and super quick, and I super love it!

Let's try it with the muted colors from Create With Connie & Mary #406! Now, as a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, I get a couple perks, one of which is getting to PRE-ORDER select items from upcoming catalogs - this is SO exciting when it rolls around! I tried to be fairly restrained this year, and I only have two sets left to still play with before I go crazy on the catty with all of you, lol. One of them is the Swirly Bird bundle, which comes with some super fun and funky thinlets to play with. I decided to layer some of the shapes to mimic today's sketch, and with a simple stacked sentiment, wound up with this understated but crisp card. Love it, but I can't wait to play with some brights, too! Swirly Bird Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Whisper White & Smoky Slate CS; Crumb Cake Ink; Swirly Scribbles & Greetings Thinlets; Basic Gray Candy Dots. ![]() Yay! Today I'm trying out a new-to-me challenge: As You See It #134! Looks so fun! I'll be combining it with What Would You Stamp #63's Going Global challenge! I decided to go all starry-eyed today for this one, lol. I love this "dipper" image! This will be a great card for a dear friend who has been lifting me up a LOT lately, too - thank goodness for the friends who travel the way with us...
