![]() What a sweet layout this week at Paper Craft Crew #80! I couldn't help but think "flowers" when I saw the shapes we had to play with - but not TOO big! My poor dahlia didn't fit, sob... Then I realized how long it had been since Secret Garden came out to play... Once I thought I was done, I felt like I still needed a little something, and a few minutes later, I had gone crazy with the bling! I hope I haven't gone too over-rhinestone-itis here! Hope you have time to join the crew this week - I can't wait to see what you bring! Secret Garden & A Dozen Thoughts stamp sets; Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana & Pistachio Pudding CS; Versamark & Pistachio Pudding(on the envelope!) Inks; White Embossing Powder; Secret Garden Framelits; Pretty Print Embossing Folder; Boutique Details In Color Embellishments.

![]() Eee! I'm so glad I could fit in this week's In{k}spire Me #132 - somehow, the scheduling doesn't quite work out right too often! This is a fun layout - so open to wide interpretation, extra fun! I felt like some fussy cutting, so out came the cute little coffee cup, for some creative paper-piecing - I love how instantly dressy it makes this image. Now to find a correspondent that doesn't already know about my world-domination plans... Perfect Blend & Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets; Retro Fresh DSP; Tangerine Tango, Coastal Cabana, Very Vanilla & Baked Brown Sugar CS; Early Espresso & Bakede Brown Sugar Inks; Retro Fresh Washi Tape Collection; Itty Bitty Punch Pack, Small Heart, Corner Rounder, 1 1/4" Circle & 1 3/8" Circle Punches; Subtles Candy Dot in So Saffron. ![]() Loving the possibilities at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #120! In the end, a "virgin" stamp set wins! I'm just so happy with the beautiful colors and patterns in the new DSP pack, and I think this stamp set goes perfectly - did you see the little camera?? I tried to think of how I could include it on this card, but I know I'll have plenty of chances later, lol... I also finally used some more of my Stretch Ruffle Trim - fun stuff To attach it very firmly, I split box tape in half length-wise, and adhered it first to the ribbon, peeling as needed as I worked my way around the oval. Easiest ribbon stick yet! Peachy Keen stamp set; Retro Fresh DSP; Very Vanilla, Baked Brown Sugar, Tangerine Tango & Coastal Cabana CS; Coastal Cabana Ink; Banners & Ovals Collection Framelit Dies; Occasions Piercing Template; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; Stretch Ruffle Trim in Baked Brown Sugar. ![]() Oh gosh - the sample over at Clean & Simple #275 is the cutest! How do I do this justice?? First, by making an embarrassing confession. Yes, I used my envelope punch board for the FIRST TIME to make this card. IT'S TRUE! It has looked good on my desk since like, convention, lol, so it's about time! I wanted to make a little custom envelope, and decided I should make the card envelope while I was at it... So easy! Might have to do more of these, blush... (Dimensions on the tiny one: I used 3" square of DSP, and did the first score on 1 1/4".)

This one is called You're Lovely, and there are two new stamps to coordinate with the Deco Labels framelit set. We SO need a piercing template for that set! I had fun making this one all flowery and sweet - easy to do with the gorgeous Sweet Sorbet DSP! Hope you can join the Crew this week - can't wait to see YOUR creations!

I'm having such a fun time pairing it with different sentiments for a quirky twist! For some reason today, I was thinking of the fable illustration that shows all the farm animals stacked up - and decided to try a forest version! They seem made for it... Note, too, that I'm finally using up the last odd Candy Dots on my various sheets - I usually do these on cards in sets of three, so I have a few sheets that only have one of each color left, lol! This is a thrifty card!

I love stamp sets that coordinate with our framelits! I also knew I was going to do a melange of color, and now I wonder if I should have been a bit more restrained, lol!
