![]() Oo, love all the layers at this week's Retro Sketch #120! Taking my first crack at this sketch, I'm feeling a little pink, I think. Like, Strawberry Slush pink, lol! Been itching to get this cute flamingo out there - now's his chance! After some deliberation, I decided not to go with an all-over background layer, but to allow the white card base to show through quite a bit. This made getting the ribbon on the right layers a bit tricky... Had to play around with "partial glue-downs" and whatnot - whew! And whoever heard of a flamingo without rhinestones? Not gonna happen...

![]() Wow, this lovely tiled sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #141 and the cool ocean color challenge at Nacho Average Challenge #94 seem made for each other! I of course also had to trot some new goodies, too - yay! This card ended up being a strange blend of old and new, lol, in order to get some "type-y" DSP in the picture... I see so many possibilities for this little typewriter, and the cute little letter keys will be lots of fun, I can tell. I missed Just My Type so much when it retired - glad to have this image back again in a updated form! I should have done this card base in Very Vanilla, but I don't have envelopes in this size that color, so I had to improvise... So, did you see that yummy ribbon? It's the new 1/4" Cotton Ribbon, and it is DREAMY. Rich color, nice weight, not too stiff - I'd say this is my new favorite ribbon! Tap Tap Tap Stamp Set; Venetian Romance DSP (retired); Whisper White & Pool Party CS; Basic Black, Island Indigo, Pool Party & Pistachio Pudding Inks; 1/4" Cotton Ribbon in Island Indigo. ![]() Summer School is OPEN!

And has it been a whole day since I used Blackberry Bliss (yum!)?? Time to take care of that, too! I decided to "shoot" for movement with my slanty lines on this one, and what makes movement better than arrows? I have such cute framelits for the arrows in the Peachy Keen stamp set, that pretty much clinched it... I think the first time I used these arrows, I actually hand-cut them before I remembered I had framelits, lol, what a goober... I tried to do a variety of full-strength and stamped-off arrows. I did the heart and arrow from the envelope on a white insert inside the card, too...

RSVP today so I can make sure I have enough snacks for all! At this first meeting, we'll be working on the just-shipping-this-week June Kit, which has a patriotic theme! I got to see a little preview of the kit, which doesn't happen every time - it was SO EXCITING! It made me go and add a second subscription to just play more with, lol!

It's so funny - I was just thinking the other day that I hadn't used Rose Red in WAY too long, lol... I was feeling punchy today, so I broke out my Flower Shop set. I also have a little stack of Little Leaves in Gumball Green already made (I ended up using a different die for a recent class, sigh...) This card came together in a snap, and so cheery, I already know who I'll send it to!

I am once again combining it with a sketch, Freshly Made Sketches #137. Here's a little secret - challenge due dates are a BIG influence on who gets matched with who in my world, lol! So anyway, I still have two images left in the Life's Adventure - time to knock one out! This was a tricky color combo, too, but in the end, I'm real happy with the results - I love my aqua-painter! Life's Adventure Stamp Set; Sweet Sorbet DSP (2014 SAB); Night of Navy & Whisper White CS; Basic Black, Summer Starfruit & Crisp Cantaloupe Inks; Boutique Details Embellishments. ![]() Goodness, there are some seriously cheery samples at this week's Fab Friday #41! I better respond in kind! (Sort of!) So, can you tell I go a little crazy as soon as I get new images to play with? Yes sirree, I'll be trying out every single stamp in the over-the-top cute set, Life's Adventure! Had to make this fox a "Honey," though - I think that makes her a "she," lol... The new In Colors are creeping up on my love scale, I have to say. LOVE Lost Lagoon now...

Pop Up Card Class May 31! ![]() Are you sad you missed our Pop-Up Card Class? Of course you are! But there's still time to fit it in - one more chance! We'll be making 4 cards, that all fold flat and fit in standard envelopes, but pop up and out to yummy goodness on the inside! We'll be doing "portrait" and "landscape" cards both, for a little variety, and one card will be all about our new In Colors, so you'll have some samples right away, to go with your amazing new catalog that will be waiting here for you! I can't wait for you to try these cards - you'll be stunned at how fun they are to deck out! Class is still on for Saturday, May 31, 10 am (please note time change!), chez Heroldt, with snacks and drinks as usual, of course, still for $20! RSVP today to make sure I have your supplies cut and waiting for you! ![]() Fun little layered elements at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #136! Since they made a point of being so reassuring about choosing our own shapes, I decided to return to my preview hostess set, Life's Adventure, for another fun image to go with! For some reason, I decided I wanted to take the cool arrows from the Retro Fresh DSP off the bias - now I have some funky triangles leftover to play with later, too, sigh. I'm so enamored of this color scheme, though, and it was fun to make this little retro colored bike with my markers! Life's Adventure Stamp Set; Retro Fresh DSP; Very Vanilla, Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana & a tiny sliver of Tangerine Tango CS; Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana & Tangerine Tango Inks; Basic Metal Buttons; PL Corner Rounder Punch.

This is another one I got at the catalog premier - called Work of Art. Good name, right? I pictured something super simple and pared down, but striking - and this stamp set certainly helps fit that bill! I decided to go in a suite of purples, 'cause that's just the best color ever! Work of Art Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Whisper White CS; Early Espresso, Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder & Perfect Plum Inks; Corner Rounder Punch; Basic Jewel Jumbo Rhinestone. ![]() OK, shhh! I get to go to a super secret and awesome early Stampin' Up! 2015 Catalog Release party today, with other SU! Demos here in the Phoenix area! Eeeee! So, of course that means we're having a swap! Thank goodness Freshly Made Sketches #133 was here to help me get started! I also have a couple kits still sitting around, and one of them, the Simply Created Happenings Card Kit, even has supplies for 15 cards! So perfect, our swap is for 12! Maybe I'll even find swapping homes for the remaining 3 - I went ahead and made all 15. A nice touch is that since the kit came with the envelopes, too, I can include them in my swaps! Yay all 'round! And it makes for a completely perfect blog post title, too, hee hee... Can't wait for you all to see the AWESOME new catty - BEST ONE EVER! Happenings Simply Created Card Kit; plus, Happy Day Stamp Set; Bermuda Bay, Baked Brown Sugar & Strawberry Slush CS; Baked Brown Sugar Ink; Circles Collection Framelits; 2 1/2" Circle Punch; Mini Heart Punch; Basic Jewel Jumbo Rhinestone. ![]() Oo, love the tilty layers at this week's Retro Sketches #111! I think it might have triggered a little touch of over-embellish-itis in me, though, lol! I am still fascinated by all the little fun elements that come in our photopolymer sets these days - almost too much to play with! I trotted out all the little toys for this one - think I'll save this card for my bug, to cheer her up on a grumpy day!
