![]() I'm so glad we're back again at My Pumpkin Challenge #0715 - Share a Smile - we definitely need more of those in the world today! Today I decided to go digging through my Pumpkin Stash, and do some housecleaning, lol. I have made up a BIG grab bag of Pumpkin Guts for my scrap bag stack - it was so nostalgic looking over all my bits and bobs! My leavings were starting to take over - time for retirement, lol! While I hunted through all the goodies, I pulled out a couple items I thought I'd use today - hard to go wrong with this sentiment sheet from our Seriously Amazing Kit, floated over a scrap from a cannibalized bag from Birthday Bundle. I think I did one tiny bit for the clean team today, lol... Can't wait to see YOUR smiles over at the challenge - see you there! Seriously Amazing, Birthday Bundle & Happy Thoughts Paper Pumpkins; plus, Memento Tuxedo Black, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight & Calypso Coral Inks; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Christmas in July Class!

![]() Yay! It's the first Wednesday of the month again, and you know what THAT means, right? The start of the new My Pumpkin Challenge - MPC0715 - Share A Smile! I'm kicking off by combining with In{k}spire Me #204's little sketch! I think the shapes we have to work with in this month's kit are just perfect for this sketch - I expressed them today in a trio of little flowers, two die cuts and one stamped for extra detail. I also wanted to add more pop by changing the flower centers to Daffodil Delight - so sunny! So many fun pieces to play with in Happy Thoughts - what will YOU do with them? Happy Thoughts Paper Pumpkin; plus, Whisper White & Daffodil Delight CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Delight Inks; 2 1/2" & 1" Circles, and Banner Triple Punches; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Christmas in July Class!

Such a fun way to play with different textures and colors... Thinking that, I gravitated towards the yummy Market Fresh set, and its gorgeous DSP, Farmer's Market. I thought originally I was going to go all veggie on my papers, but then these two caught my eye, and would not be ignored! I tried to keep it pretty simple, with clean little details, and I just love the look of all these colors together... We eat so much romaine here, this is in my top 5 stamps in the new catty, lol... Market Fresh & Someting to Say Stamp Sets; Farmer's Market DSP; Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Very Vanilla CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive & Crumb Cake Inks; PL Corner Rounder Punch; Circle Card Thinlets; Brights Button in Old Olive; Linen Thread. ![]() A fun and bold sketch at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #192! What to do with it? Trot out some more new goodies, that's what! Today I decided to ink up the new hostess set Floral Wings. This set is going to be SO versatile! I think I might almost like the 2-step flowering vine I did for the envelope flap best, lol. Anyway, it was fun making this bright and cheery butterfly, and picking out a pretty English Garden print for it to fly over! Sweet and simple... Floral Wings Stamp Set; English Garden DSP; Whisper White, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight CS; Old Olive, Daffodil Delight & Melon Mambo Inks; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Bold Butterfly Framelits; Banner Punch (for the sentiment); Neutrals Candy Dots in Whisper White. ![]() I'm really liking this fun sketch at Retro Sketch #169 - they're so good at getting me to move my "focus points," you know? I went today with our fun new set Friendly Wishes - such pretty sentiments! I also browsed through our new Pretty Petals DSP pack, so many patterns and color to love! I kept my interpretation of the sketch pretty simple - I think Mint Macaron might be my favorite new In Color... Friendly Wishes Stamp Set; Pretty Petals DSP; Mint Macaron, Basic Black & Very Vanilla CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Calypso Coral Marker; Pretty Print Embossing Folder; Venetian Crochet Trim; Blossom Accent Embellishment in Mint Macaron. ![]() Pumpkin Club June 27!

I can't wait to break it down! For today's card I definitely wanted to use another new stamp set - one I've been eying since the I first saw the catty: hostess set Best Thoughts. I've been wanting to color that flower image ever since! I also tried out some new DSP, from one of our awesome 6" x 6" packs - Pretty Petals. I love this because I can usually get what I need for the card, AND the envelope flap from one sheet - YES! So handy. And yes, those are the new White Perfect Accents, and yes, I colored them with the now-discontinued Old Olive Blendies. Frankly, I'm guessing that's exactly what these embellishments were made for, but now they're kinda superfluous without the blendies line. I'm choosing to believe that this is yet another indication that SU! continues to work on bringing us back some alcohol markers as soon as they can. That will make these like candy dots in multiple sizes - something else I've longed for ever since the dots came out! Best Thoughts Stamp Set; Pretty Petals DSP Pack; Mint Macaron, Basic Black, Very Vanilla & Calypso Coral CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Old Olive & Calypso Coral Inks; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Banners Collection Framelits; Triple Banner Punch; White Perfect Accents, colored with Old Olive Blendabilities. ![]() Pumpkin Club June 27!

I think it will be fun to combine it with the summer challenge over at this week's Can You Case It #74, too! So, I think strawberries are pretty summery - don't you? I love it when the berries start coming in! So I decided to ink up my new Market Fresh set, and threw in All Boxed up for Good measure. I had so much fun playing with all the little pieces and layers, that I actually didn't realize til I came back to write this up that I did my bottom rectangle layers on the opposite corners - too funny! Oh well, I'll get over it, lol... Market Fresh & All Boxed Up Stamp Sets; Farmers Market DSP; Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss & Very Vanilla CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Cherry Cobbler & Old Olive Inks; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; PL Corner Rounder Punch; Heavy Baker's Twine in Blackberry Bliss & Mossy Meadow Buttons from In Color Accessory Pack (SAB 2015); Circle Card Thinlets. ![]() Independence Day Decor Class!

And by play, of course, I mean, "Let's throw that square out the window." Lol. I'm such a rebel - in my own mind at least! Anyway, it seemed like a fun time to play some more with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set - so many options with this one, I can tell this one will be a stand-by forever! Sprinkles of Life Stamp Set; Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky & Whisper White CS; Silver Glimmer Paper; Soft Sky, Lost Lagoon & Versamark Inks; Silver Embossing Powder; Tree Builder & PL Corner Rounder Punches; Silver Sequins. ![]() Independence Day Decor Class!

Think I'll toss in the colors at this week's Nacho Average Challenge #144, too! I think the finished card ended up being very different than my usual style - whatever that is! I was really flying by the seat of my pants here, and just sort of made some stuff and played with it like a puzzle. I was worried the colors would clash or look to Christmas-y, so I ended up leaning on the Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise with only touches of Real Red. All in all, though, I like this whimsical look! I Think You're Great, Yee-Haw & A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Sets; Sweet Taffy DSP (retired); Old Olive & Whisper White CS; Real Red & Old Olive Inks; Hello You Thinlets; Brights Buttons in Tempting Turquoise, Old Olive & Real Red (Old & New Styles); White Baker's Twine; PL Corner Rounder Punch. ![]() Independence Day Decor Class!

I had to go back and revisit Perfect Blend today - I'm going to miss this set so much! Adding touches of my fave Blackberry Bliss was fun, too - I settled on this combo of colors on the cup, finally, lol. Little purple coffee cups all over my office? Why, yes! I also noticed that I seemed to have some washi tapes sitting around in the correct colors, too - I have such a hard time remembering to use it, I decided to go for broke with it today!
