![]() I LOVE Can You Case It #71's version of a In Color farewell - choose two and add gold! Brilliant! This week's Sunday Sketch #102 looks just perfect for it! I had a tough time picking out which two In Colors I wanted to use - I so wanted to add a third! I managed, though, lol. It was easy to pick Coastal Cabana first - I will MISS this color, sigh. I also decided to use another sentiment from the preview Friendly Wishes set - so cheery! I flipped around the element order a tiny bit, added a few details - and voila! Quick and cute! Friendly Wishes & Crazy About You Stamp Sets; Gold Soiree Specialty DSP; Whisper White, Pistachio Pudding & Coastal Cabana CS; Encore Gold, Memento Tuxedo Black & Coastal Cabana Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Banner Triple, PL Corner Rounder & Scallop Circle Punches; Heavy Baker's Twine in Coastal Cabana, In Color Boutique Detail in Coastal Cabana; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30!

![]() I really dig the tiled layout at this week's SU-per Challenge #90 - so many ways to go with it! I'll pair it with the color challenge at Create With Connie & Mary #356 while I'm at it, lol. My card actually ended being a cross of two awesome cards from the two design teams for today's challenges, lol. I'm really loving this new stamp set from our Sneak Peek class, and pretty much anything in Blackberry Bliss rocks my world! Yummy! You've Got This Stamp Set; Smoky Slate, Soft Sky & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Smoky Slate, Soft Sky & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Circles Collection Framelits; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Subtles Candy Dots in Soft Sky; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30!

Think I'll see what comes of pairing it with this week's elegant sketch at Freshly Made Sketches #187! I had a challenging time making decisions on this one, I have to say right up front. Somehow, I had difficulty getting these colors to play nice together (!!!), which is bizarre because they're so awesome! In any event, I also tried to scan the shelves for anything left that might have still not gotten ink before retirement - and I realized I had skipped over Lovely Romance! Eek! I had some white-space-panic tremors again, but I think I stayed calmer this time, lol. Turning the sketch sideways helped, too... Lovely Romance & Petite Petals Stamp Sets; Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe, Strawberry Slush & Whisper White CS; Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush & Crisp Cantaloupe Inks; Chalk Talk Framelits; Petite Petals Punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30!

And of course, I'm totally going to try to sneak in this week's Can You Case It #70 - May Flowers! So, we all knew there was no WAY I could let Perfect Blend get away without a little send-off, right? If there's one set I will mourn this year on June 2, it's this one. {SOB} Today, we're making them into tea, by adding cup sleeves with flowers. Don't you think that works? I had to go back to my old Tea Shoppe set for the sentiment, but these are still some CLASSY to-go cups, if I do say so myself! And a chance to use some Rose Red CS and Candy Dots? Yes, please! Perfect Blend & Tea Shoppe (retired) Stamp Sets; Painted Blooms DSP; Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Rose Red, Crumb Cake & Soft Sky CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Scallop Trim Border Punch (retired); Small & Large Oval Punches; Regals Candy Dots in Rose Red. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 30!

I think this week's bold and fresh color challenge from In{k}spire Me #198 is a perfect match, too! This tropical color challenge was a doozy for me. I wanted to try and control these bright colors a bit, while contrasting the two most obvious ones together - yikes! It was a great chance to sneak in another new stamp set - I Think You're Great - which has two very cool background type stamps to use for "kissing" the word bubble sentiments. Believe it or not, I've never tried this technique, and it took me a few times to get a final image I was happy with, lol. Carrie Cudney was right - it really only works if you make the kiss-noise while you do it! I Think You're Great Stamp Set; Sahara Sand, Strawberry Slush & Whisper White CS; Tangelo Twist & Strawberry Slush Inks; Circles Collection Framelits; In Color Boutique Details; SAB 2015 In Color Buttons; White Baker's Twine. ![]() I sure hope you're playing along with our beautiful sketch this week at Fab Friday #64! We want to see! I decided that Flamingo Lingo needed one last turn around the park before flapping off into the sunset, sigh... I just love these guys! They remind me of when I first arrived in Las Vegas to work at the Aladdin project - our job site was right next to the Flamingo Hilton, and we could walk right into their back courtyard area to get lunch. It had this huge waterfall feature with palms and big bright flowers, and of course, a flamboyance of flamingos! They'd walk right over and sneak the bread off the table if you didn't keep en eye out, lol... They also liked fish - go figure! So, hope you're feeling fabulous and flamboyant - see you at Fab Friday! Flamingo Lingo Stamp Set; Sweet Taffy DSP; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Melon Mambo & Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Petite Curly Label (retired) & Scalloped Oval Punches; Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder; Bitty Banners Framelits. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

This one really will help me stretch, and I love that! It's also perfect for continuing my farewell tour of retiring stamp sets - today featuring From My Heart. This sentiment pair has been my favorite out of the whole set, and I decided to add a little visual pun since the layers gave me some room to work with. Get it?? That's right! Stuck between a rock and a hard place! Bwahahaha! (Hubby tells me that I must report that he totally got it when I asked him. Unfortunately, I just busted him trying to use my paper snips to poke a hole in a belt, so I'd say we're at a wash, here...) From My Heart Stamp Set; Adventure Bound DSP Stack; Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo Inks; Labels Collection Framelits; Festive Piercing Template; Snowflake Card Thinlet; Neutrals Candy Dots in Basic Gray. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

I can't wait to try it out combined with Create With Connie & Mary #254's tropical color challenge! So, still working through the retiring list, lol, and I came across Snapshot, such a fun stamp to color! I like to pair it with Hip Notes, always - The "Oh Snap!" sentiment is the whole reason I got the set, lol. I know I'm not the only one who buys a set for ONE stamp, I know how you are, too, right? Anyway, a nice bright camera, and a popped up sentiment, because there just aren't that many that fit in that thinlet... Snapshot & Hip Notes Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Gold Foil Specialty & Tangelo Twist CS; Tangelo Twist, Bermuda Bay & Gold Encore Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Label Card Thinlet; Lucky Stars Embossing Folder; In Color Buttons in Tangelo Twist; White Baker's Twine. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

Let's try it in this week's challenge colors from Nacho Average Challenge #140! One of the retiring sets I think I will miss the most is this one - Regarding Dahlias. Such a beautiful and dramatic focal stamp, so easy to dress up or down - I have LOVED playing with this one! Embossing, coloring, fussing cutting - this one shines for them all, sigh... I tried a fun little color play here, and I think it comes off very fresh and unexpected! Maybe the dahlias need to stay in the guest room for a while, lol... Regarding Dahlias Stamp Set; Lullaby & Birthday Bash Specialty DSP; Baked Brown Sugar, Crisp Cantaloupe, Bermuda Bay & Whisper White CS; Baked Brown Sugar, Bermuda Bay & Crisp Cantaloupe Inks; Pretty Print Embossing Folder; 1 3/8" & 1 1/4" Square (both retired) & Banner Punches; Banners Framelits; Heavy Baker's Twine in Crisp Cantaloupe; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() New Catty Sneak Peek Class!

I LOVE it when a sketch does that, like this week's Sunday Stamps #100! That said, let's face it - I have ended up with a strange little arrangement of banners here, I think. I like it - don't get me wrong - but boy-howdy, I struggled with this one! I finally settled on trotting out the special-release-photopolymer set You're Wonderful, which, since it's now sold out, I am lumping into this year's "retiring" stamps. I think technically I have more time, but hey, you can't get it anymore, so what's the use in pretending, lol? Plus, I've always felt like the flowers in this set pair up so perfectly with this DSP... You're Wonderful Stamp Set; Gold Soiree Specialty DSP; Pistachio Pudding, Calypso Coral & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Garden Green & Calypso Coral Inks; Wild Wasabi & Calypso Coral Blendies (discontinued): Banners Framelits; Banner Punch; Jumbo (retired) & Basic Jewel Pearls. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 2!
