![]() Aw, this week's Freshly Made Sketch #167 is going to look so cute paired with this week's Sunday Sketch Color Challenge #91! Happily, I've been able to sneak in some more new items for your viewing pleasure, lol. Once again, everything is from Sale-A-Bration. No, I have no idea why I seem to gravitate to those sets first - it just seems to work out that way between the sketches as they come, and the sizes and shapes I need to fill them in! The stamp set, You Brighten My Day, was just right for the space I had. This set is all about coordinating with punches, too - yay! To get all my colors in, I've also given a shot to the new Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP - it actually comes in white, with a resist-coating on it in 6 different patterns. I highlighted two of them here, by simply adding color with a sponge dauber - I love the sort of "wash" effect that gave me! I feel much less intimidated by this paper now - I think you just might see it in an upcoming class, lol... You Brighten My Day (SAB 2015) Stamp Set; Irresistibly Yours Specialty DSP (SAB 2015); Whisper White& Soft Suede CS; Tuxedo Black Memento, Bermuda Bay & Daffodil Delight Inks; Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder; 1 3/4" & 2" Circle Punches; Brights Candy Dots in Bermuda Bay. ![]() Pumpkin Club December 27!

![]() Cool - love the sort of "left-justified" layout at this week's Retro Sketch #145! I think I'll add in Can You Case It #49, too - what a great way to help help us add that little something extra! I had to trot out another new set, and um, some other goodies, too, for this one. So much to love! Here we have another SAB set - this one is called A Happy Thing - check out those cute lemons! (Wait'll you see the adorable little bird in this set, too!) I did some strategic masking to really expand the lemon, which really there's only one on this stamp... Did that come out weird? Ah well, you know what I meant! I also got to use a new Blenda color - there is now a Wild Wasabi assortment, along with Soft Sky and Bermuda Bay - yum! A Happy Thing (SAB 2015) Stamp Set; Whisper White, Crushed Curry & Pear Pizzazz CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Daffodil Delight & Wild Wasabi Blendas; Brights Button in Old Olive & Regals Button in Crushed Curry; Dotted Scallop Trim Punch; Decorative Dots Embossing Folder; White Baker's Twine. ![]() Pumpkin Club December 27!

Is this my chance to finally use my Gorgeous Grunge set again, lol? And how about that - Just Add Ink #243 has a "fresh" color combo to go with! Since I'm feeling a little silly today, and I had bright colors to work with, I naturally went for my Calling All Heroes set, lol. I so love giving my "supers" crazy hair! It's surprisingly challenging to get this in the salon... Calling All Heroes Stamp Set; Tempting Turquoise, Wild Wasabi, Real Red & Whisper White CS; Tempting Turquoise, Real Red, Strawberry Slush & Wild Wasabi Inks; Snowflake Thinlets (for sentiment); Subtles Candy Dots in Wild Wasabi. ![]() New Year's Wreath Class December 11 or 13! I can FINALLY post a picture of our BEAUTIFUL New Year's Rosette Wreath, featuring the yummy All Is Calm DSP pack. It took me a week to work out how to get that little banner hung - argh! We will now use every scrap of our DSP sheets, lol - yes! So class is announced for Thursday December 11, 6:30 pm, or Saturday December 13, 3:30 PM. All supplies included, $20. Treats and snacks will be on hand, for sure, still time for Christmas Cookies, right?? RSVP today so I can be sure to have your supplies ready for you! And of course, if either of the dates is no good for you, please do let me know and we will make it happen! Cheers! ![]() I really like the tilty background panel at this week's Mojo Monday #373! It really conveys movement, I think... I decided today I would sift through my scraps of Moonlight DSP - I so adore the color scheme in this one. My little paper pack is getting pretty thin! And to think I used to have trouble getting through my DSP - bwah! That ship has sailed! I also had some fun flipping the "expected" sentiment and image panels - I love doing that! Perfect Pennants Stamp Set; Moonlight DSP Pack; Basic Gray, Whisper White, Hello Honey & Blackberry Bliss CS; Hello Honey & Blackberry Bliss Inks; 1 1/4" Circle Punch; Banners Framelits; Neutrals Candy Dots in Basic Gray. ![]() Pumpkin Club November 29!

I'm good with that! I think this color combo will go great with Retro Sketch #142! So, excited as I was, no lie, I so STRUGGLED with this challenge! I think it was the color part that made it so hard - I have SO few toys in Bermuda Bay, I just realized! I actually had to go look it up in the catty - there's only one DSP that includes it, and I don't have it, lol! Argh! So out came the trusty Work of Art to play - and even then it was a challenge, sigh. I have little stamped bits of Blackberry Bliss & Bermuda Bay all over the place! I'm quitting now while I'm ahead! Work of Art Stamp Set; Typeset Specialty & Park Lane DSP; Blackberry Bliss, Bermuda Bay & Very Vanilla CS & Inks; 1/8" Taffeta in Bermuda Bay; Brights & Neutrals Candy Dots in Bermuda Bay & Very Vanilla; Itty Bitty Accent Punch. ![]() Pumpkin Club November 29!

And did you check out the samples?? Connie has some serious blenda skills - I'm in love!I think I'll match up with this week's Just Add Ink #241! At first these colors sent me in a Fall theme direction, and I did end up using the little leaves from Fall Fest, but mostly I focused on my fave "background" stamp from Chalk Lines. I love the paper that uses this pattern in the Moonlight DSP stack, and of course I used it up pretty much right away! Luckily, with the stamps I can make more whenever I want, in whatever colors I want! Yes! This was such a fun combo! Fall Fest, Chalk Lines & A Dozen Thoughts Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Blackberry Bliss & Tangelo Twist CS; Blackberry Bliss, Tangelo Twist & Hello Honey Inks; Fun Fall Framelits; Pretty Print Embossing Folder; Star Punch (to flag the sentiment ends!) ![]() Pumpkin Club November 29!

Since the weather is finally cooling off here in AZ, I decided to do some "weather" cards, lol. I have a different relationship with rain clouds than usual I think: around here, a little rain is a happy event! That's why I gravitated towards this cute stamp set "Think Happy." The little clouds and raindrops read HAPPY to me - weird, I know! The sketch's elements allowed me to really show off the stamped elements in the right sizes today, something I've found a bit challenging with this stamp set... Loving these off-kilter angles, too... Think Happy Stamp Set; Lullaby DSP; Whisper White, Hello Honey, Shara Sand, Coastal Cabana & Baked Brown Sugar CS; Baked Brown Sugar & Coastal Cabana Inks; Ovals Collection & Bitty Banners Framelits; Occasions Piercing Template; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() I'm so excited to invite everyone to this year's 24th Annual Holiday & Gift Show at Mountainview Presbyterian! This year's show is scheduled for November 21, from 9 AM to 5 PM, and Saturday November 22 from 9 AM to 3 PM. Make sure to come early and get your cinnamon roll orders in! I've also heard they have several exciting new vendors - I can't wait to see! You can click here or on the picture to get your own flyer - see you there! ![]() OK, troops, test-driving another new sketch challenge today. Check out Just Add Ink #238! I like how they think! Since I'm feeling a little sunny today (tomato seedlings planted - yeah!) I decided to make a sunny card, lol. The shapes were with me! I also had fun cutting out and assembling all the little rays: How about 5 in two sizes? Nope, let's try 6. Gr, nope. Let's just go for 8, that HAS to be enough! I think all the snipping paid off! Ray of Sunshine Stamp Set; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Park Lane DSP; Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry & Basic Black Inks; 1 3/4" Circle Punch; Circles Collection Framelits; Basic Jewel Rhinestones, colored with Dark Daffodil Delight Blendability. ![]() I'm so excited to invite everyone to this year's 24th Annual Holiday & Gift Show at Mountainview Presbyterian!

Well, let's have a big flower today. But not just any flower! A multi-layered, fussy-cut flower! Yes! I was in a weird color mood today, though, so I'm not too sure about how that came out. Overall, it's pleasing in person, though. And for some reason, I needed this sentiment today... Flower Patch & Pursuit of Happiness (retired) Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Calypso Coral, Blushing Bride & Old Olive CS; Park Lane DSP; Calypso Coral & Blushing Bride Inks; Circles Collection & Flower Fair Framelits; Basic Jewel Jumbo Pearl, colored with Dark Calypso Coral Blenda. ![]() I'm so excited to invite everyone to this year's 24th Annual Holiday & Gift Show at Mountainview Presbyterian!

This time, as happens for me, this card is inspired by the arrival of a recent order, lol. Time to take this alphabet out for a spin! Somehow, the letters were a bit larger than I was expecting, but I LOVE all the extra punctuation that comes with it! (Not that you get to see it here, sigh.) I also decided to trot out a color I barely ever use, Rose Red. I think I should use it more - so much more substantial than some of our other pinks, I have to say... Came out very yummy! It's hard to see, but I did watermark some hearts behind the letters for a little extra texture. Epic Alphabet Stamp Set; Sahara Sand, Whisper White & Rose Red CS; Versamark & Rose Red Inks; 1 1/2" & 1 3/8" Circle and Itty Bitty Accents Punches; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. ![]() Christmas Cards Class, Part 2! That's right! Our next class is ready with even MORE Christmas cards, because I was just SO bad with my Holiday Catty purchasing this year! I wanted to make sure everyone got a chance to try the full range of holiday delight that Stampin' Up! has brought us this year, lol... Class is still coming up on Thursday, October 23 at 6:30 PM, $20. As always, if you need a different day and time, just let me know and I will make it happen for you!
