![]() Aha! I love these "any shape" sketches - like this week's Freshly Made Sketch #174! What to use today? Using this lacy shape from our new Petal Potpourri set has been on my mind for a while. Go check out the pretty sample on page 23 of the Occasions catty - what a cool border! I knew I wanted to do white heat-emboss from studying that... So striking! Another happy discovery I made today is that picot edge of the Victoria Lace Trim can interlock when you line up multiple pieces together, giving the appearance of a wider band. Perfect! I really like the delicate look of this card, I think. It's pretty hard to see, but there's a stamped-off background of the lace shape on the blue panel, too. Petal Potpourri & Simply Wonderful Stamp Sets; Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla, & Soft Sky CS; Craft Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Soft Sky Inks; White Embossing Powder; Victoria Lace Trim; Very Vintage Designer Buttons; Linen Thread; Flower Medallion Punch. ![]() Pumpkin Club February 28!

![]() Don't you love our awesome new sketch at Fab Friday #58?? So many ways to work this one! So naturally, I chose to go in a direction that uses NO stamps - gasp! But it's a shaker! Sorry folks, all I can say is, it came to me in a dream, lol. Seriously. I feel like maybe I've crossed over into some kind of stamper nirvana (except it wasn't about stamping, it was about the Big Shot, but hey - it's all good!) where inspiration just springs eternal. This is me: "That's right, people, I'm so creative I have ideas in my dreams!" Except then I dreamed I had to clear out the guest room of all my stampin', ahem, overflow, because someone was moving in with us (no idea who, of course), and I woke up freaking out, and ran into my craft room to make sure it hadn't really happened. Whew. Thank goodness I plucked the card idea out of all that! TMI? Yeah, that can happen here! Anyway, I can't wait to see your Fab creations - bring it on! Moonlight DSP Pack; Sahara Sand, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White & Hello Honey CS; Little Letters Thinlets; Circles Collection & Banner Framelits; Decorative Dots & Perfect Polks Dots Embossing Folders; Cupcake Builder Punch (for the confetti); Gold Sequin Trim; Window Sheet Scrap. ![]() Pumpkin Club February 28!

What shall we lovey up this week? Let's see if this gorgeous inspiration pic from Just Add Ink #250 brings anything to mind! OK, who am I kidding - of course I went straight for Perfect Blend, lol. Though I cleared most of my kit out for treats for my bug's friends, I have some pieces left for cards, just big enough for the fussy cutting that really makes this coffee cup shine! I feel a Starbuck's run coming on...

I totally gravitated straight to our our gorgeous new Sheltering Tree stamp set for this card - I wasn't sure I could really make these soft colors work, but boy-howdy, I think it did. I'm so thrilled with subtle and gorgeous card! If by some crazy chance you haven't yet worked with the new Cotton Ribbon in the big catty, you really need to go for it. I've been still hording some Grosgrain in my fave colors, but I think I'll be moving those along now so that I can fill in my cotton collection! So soft, it's a dream! Sheltering Tree Stamp Set; Pink Pirouette DSP scrap (retired); Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride, Pink Pirouette & Whisper White CS; Smoky Slate & Blushing Bride Inks; Delicate Designs Embossing Folder; 1/4" Cotton Ribbon in Blushing Bride; Banner Punch (to flag sentiment). ![]() Oo, look at that medallion shape smack dab in the middle of this week's Freshly Made Sketch #171! Think I'll match this beauty up with Just Add Ink #248's color challenge! That strong central circle immediately sent me to our new Adventure Awaits stamp - I LOVE this sentiment! So true, too! Wish I were better about remembering it when the chips are down, lol... I had a hard time pulling in the color challenge - I ended up with only touches of Rich Razzleberry, and I'm happy with the result. I really had to raid some different DSP sets for this one... Adventure Awaits & Life's Adventure Stamp Sets; Sweet Taffy, Moonlight & Birthday Bash DSP; Sahara Sand, Night of Navy, Pool Party & Whisper WHite CS; Night of Navy Ink; Circles Collection Framelits; Corner Rounder & Star (to flag the banners) Punches; Neutrals & Brights Candy Dots in Sahara Sand & Rick Razzleberry. ![]() Oo, challenging layers at this week's Retro Sketches #150! And on a square card, too! I have an idea for faking that part... Ta da! A sort of square card! This one was fun! It was great, too, to finally use the stamp I got this set for - this little balloon has been calling me and calling me, lol... I snuck in a roque item (shh) but I just can't resist this plumpy cloud shape, but I feel so guilty about it I almost never use it. Go figure! Time To Celebrate Stamp Set; So Saffron, Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Smoky Slate (sponging on the clouds) Inks; Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Delight Blendies; Subtles Buttons in So Saffron & Calypso Coral; White Baker's Twine; YNS Puffy Cloud Set. ![]() Looks like this week it's Just Add Ink's #247 turn to play with the Pumpkin! We're still getting ready over at My Pumpkin Challenge #0115 - and I really want to do some reminiscing for this one! So, I went diving into my Pumpkin bag - who knew I had so many cool odds and ends still in there?! I tried to triage by looking at color families first, and after much angst, this is where I landed. I shamelessly cannibalized EVERYTHING from so many kits. My only outside additions are the tiny Crushed Curry button on the flowers, created with one little flower framelit from the Flower Fair collection. In the end, I'm SO happy with this card! I loved these sentiments... It's so odd to realize how long I've been in the pumpkin patch - incredible! So show us your pumpkin babies! Let's see how ready you are!

So glad I have Create With Connie & Mary's #338 color challenge to help me with it! I decided to pull out a set I haven't used in quite a while, and since this is time of year I start to have little twinges of "retirement anxiety," you might see this happen a bit more often! This time Tap Tap Tap gets some love! So fun to do it in these fresh and happy colors - I WISH I had a Bermuda Bay typewriter!

This month, we're all about stocking up and getting ready for the new year, with MPC0115 - Get Ready! While I want to make sure and go back and use up some odds and ends from past kits for this month's challenge, I had to take this month's new kit out for a little spin, too, right? So I'm kicking off with this bright and cheery Hello, Friend card, featuring all the coordinating colors from this month's kit - Basic Gray, Strawberry Slush, Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay. Delicious! The background was a snap with our photopolymer stamps on hand, but as a tip, make sure you leave plenty of room around the edges on your block, so you can see ALL sides of you stamp clearly... Paper Pumpkin All Shook Up Stamp Set & Kit; plus, Strawberry Slush & Whisper White CS; Pistachio Pudding & Bermuda Bay Inks; Wide Oval Punch. ![]() Perpetual Birthday Calendar Kit Class! I'm so excited to announce our first class of the year - a super-fun version of the Perpetual Calendar Kit found on page 17 of your Occasions 2015 catalog! This calendar features a custom decorated and lined sheet for each month, where you can pencil in all your birthday ticklers! I've added some simple goodies and tricks to make these kits shine even more, and you'll have lots of leftovers from the kit as well! Keep it for yourself, or box it up for a gift! A fun way to warm up for the year ahead! So, class is announced for Thursday, January 15 at 6:30 pm, or Saturday, January 17 at 3:30 pm. $20 gets you all your supplies, including 1 complete kit, a special treat from me, and snacks and refreshments. RSVP now so I can make sure to have your kit waiting for you! ![]() Wow, I really like the "tiled" background in this week's Create With Connie & Mary #335! Looks like another great chance for new toys! Keeping in mind my wish to trot out some new goodies, I ALSO wanted to try something else out - that I actually thought of a few weeks ago, when I saw my first print copy of the 2015 Occasions Catty. Do you all have yours? Have you noticed the never-before-tried "wrap," advertizing the also upcoming Sale-A-Bration? Did you look at the back of this wrap? Looks like DSP to me! Let's slide that baby in there - I'm combining it with the Best Year Ever DSP! I'm also so excited about the Hello You Thinlets, that go so perfectly with the Crazy About You stamp set - I hereby nominate this combo to graduate to the next Annual catalog - who's with me?? Crazy About You (Occasions 2015) Stamp Set; Best Year Ever (SAB 2015) DSP; Coastal Cabana & Whisper White CS; Coastal Cabana & Crushed Curry Inks; Hello You & Circle Card Thinlets; Flower Medallion Punch; Best Year Ever Button in Coastal Cabana; Whisper White Baker's Twine; Basic Jewel Jumbo Pearl; Darkest Coastal Cabana Blendie. |
