![]() Here's a fun sketch from Stamp Ink Paper #14! I think I'll also add a touch of glimmer with Just Add Ink #280! I can't lie, I needed a little pick-me-up today. This happy sentiment from Hello Life is a tenet I all-too-often forget! Why oh why is it sometimes SO hard to focus on what I KNOW is good fro me, lol? This simple but freshly pretty card was a spirit-refresh button for me...

![]() Time for some golden elegance with this week's offering at My Pumpkin Challenge #0915 - Touch of Gold! I decided this week to branch out into some other colors, and tossed in some Pear Pizzazz and Crumb Cake. I also wanted to take a crack at starting to use some of those big pink flowers from the kit. I like my result, but I need to play with those flowers some more, I think... Also, wanted to mention, I noticed something about the black stock in the kit - it seems to absorb ink differently than our regular Basic Black CS. When I was stamping my sentiment on my own black scraps, the ink was VERY faded looking, so I switched to one of my tag shapes from the kit - sacrificed for the cause! Much better ink effect! Can't wait to see your golden pumpkins - hop on over and share! Chalk It Up to Love Paper Pumpkin; plus, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake and Gold Foil CS; Encore Gold Ink; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Pink Pirouette Seam Binding Ribbon; 1 3/4" Circle Punch; Circles Collection Framelits. ![]() Witching Decor Class September 12! SO excited about this class! We will be assembling our very very own witch hats, for display or inspiration, lol! Your complete project kit will be provided, and I will have all the additional stamps and inks we need available - all you'll need is your hot glue gun! Class also includes snacks and drinks, plus a special treat treat from me, all for $25! I hope you can come get spooky! Class is still on for Saturday September 12 at 3 pm. RSVP to reserve your kit today! ![]() Look at those cute little buttons peeking out in Retro Sketch #178! I'm not sure why exactly, but those buttons make me want to pair this sketch with Can You Case It's #83 Back To School Theme challenge. What a great chance to break out the yummy Schoolhouse DSP! I can't resist pairing it with an encouraging little setup from Barnyard Babies, too, lol. I've been wanting to use that goat's "Meeeh..." since I first saw this set! Sigh, I MISS elementary school days...

Can you imagine? Congrats, ladies - you do an amazing job! Make sure you visit the site to check out the awesome sponsors they have for their anniversary, and the as-usual-over-the-top-amazing samples the "Sponsor Team" has prepared! I'm tossing in Just Add Ink #276 (Guy cards!) and In{k}spire Me #212 (manly colors!) to help me out! So I of course went straight to Guy Greetings for this one! I continue to be fascinated by these cute little wingtips - but my hubby would only be allowed to wear them on the golf course, lol... I have a little tip about how I constructed this pattern and got it so centered: I STARTED in the middle, duh! Starting in the middle allowed me to build the pattern out on either side, resulting in a centered finish - yay!

Feeling floral for this one! Feeling floral sent me right out to Gift from the Garden! I've wanted to do something with these cute little pots since I first saw the set in the catty! Now, my final result is a lot more pink than I originally envisioned, but I still really like it! It was also good to pull some pink twine out of my "stash," too - back-to-school cleaning here!

It's so nice to have this chat time with you, lol! I wanted to play with the little plants today, as you can see, though I still can't stay away from the cups! I combined today with the Festive Fireplace suite from the Holiday Catty, though I left off the window altogether, lol... Then I realized that the kitty wanted to come see what we're chatting about, so he's here, too! Can't wait to see what's in YOUR cup, make sure to share!

I also just realized this could be my chance to sneak in the color challenge over at TGIF #15 - yay! I still have two sets sitting on my desk that haven't been inked yet from my last order, so I decided today to focus on one of them - Gift from the Garden. I've been having a surprisingly productive gardening season here myself, especially considering I live in the desert, lol. Turns out the secret I was missing was to aim for the opposite seasons I am used to (ie. start in the WINTER), and plant in the shade, go figure. So hubby made me three ambitious raised box-beds in the side yard under the neighbor's VERY tall overhanging trees, and we've been growing ever since. With all that shade, my tomatoes even keep on going - it's kinda a jungle out there right now, I might actually have to prune! Anyway, all this made me totally stoked to see this new stamp set, I plan on using it for lots of garden-gifting this Christmas, lol... Everyone gives basil for Christmas, right? Gift from the Garden Stamp Set; Schoolhouse DSP; Basic Gray, Heavy & Regular Whisper White CS; Basic Gray, Daffodil Delight & Pool Party Inks; Banner Triple Punch; Decorative Dots Embossing Folder; White Perfect Accents; Medium Daffodil Delight Blendie (discontinued.) ![]() Hello Life: Lots of Cards Class I'm so excited to announce this month's class - Hello Life: Lots of Cards!

Time for a new theme at My Pumpkin Challenge! This month, it's all about sharing - MPC#0815 - Share A Cup, for these adorable little cups in Thanks A Latte! I'm finding this new Pumpkin kit so enjoyable - there's so much you can do with these sweet little cups, accessories and sayings! I decided this week to go for a "short stack" of cups, lol, in a way that my Grandma would have switched me for, for sure - no stacking her fine china, but I could earn 50 cents if I dusted the cabinet contents for her, lol! Of course, hers didn't come in these yummy In Colors either - so there! See you over at the challenge - can't wait to "share a cup" with you! Thanks A Latte Paper Pumpkin; plus, Cherry on Top & Into The Woods DSP; Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush, Tangelo Twist & Whisper White CS; Basic Black Archival, Tangelo Twist, Delightful Dijon, Tip Top Taupe & Cucumber Crush Inks; Dotted Lace Trim in Delightful Dijon; Itty Bitty Accent Punch & Epoxy Stickers. ![]() Hello Life: Lots of Cards Class I'm so excited to announce this month's class - Hello Life: Lots of Cards!

Can you tell I'm still doing my best to call out all our old photopolymers that are out there waiting to be snapped up? I love love LOVE this Map It Out set, and I so rarely use it, of course, lol. It was a snap to use Work of Art to add big blocks of color instead of doing a lot of detailed coloring - I need to do more of that, too!
