I'm loving this awesome bold sketch from this week Inspire Create Challenge #059! Seeing this lovely off-center focus made me think of my too-long neglected scripture sets - how perfect to highlight one against a gorgeous background! I went digging and landed on this beauty from Psalm 19, and realized how perfect a sheet from our amazing Feels Like Frost Papers would be to go with - what perfect illustrations of the "work of His hands!" This came together so quickly, but I feel like it's just right...

"Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes made of ticky-tacky!" Sorry, every time I look at our inspiration color pic at this week's Sunday Stamps #211, that little song just runs through my head, lol! With a color spread like that I wanted to find a way to use as many as I could, while keeping it fairly contained. I kept thinking about that song, too, and remembered our little pot of brushes in Crafting Forever - perfect! Then, I just wasn't satisfied with the sentiment - but what about something from scripture? I finally came across this quote from Psalm 19 that seemed to fit - God's paint brushes are just bigger than my little pot, lol. So, what will you create? I can't wait to check it out over at the challenge! Crafting forever & ODB Scripture Collection 9 Stamp Sets; Terracotta Tile & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Terracotta Tile, Petal Pink, So Saffron, Pretty Peacock & Fresh Fig (retired) Inks; Aqua-Painter; Faceted Dots in Terracotta Tile; #SSC211. Art & Silhouettes Class Aug 15 & 17! So excited for our first focus class of the new catty! This month we'll zero in on two suites: the gorgeous It Starts With Art AND Silhouette Scenes! We'll do three cards in each suite, and class will includes snacks, drinks, and a special treat from me! All you need to bring is your favorite snips and adhesive, I provide everything else! Class is $25, or can be FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP to save your spot for Thursday, August 15 at 630 pm, or Saturday, August 17 at 3 pm - see you soon! Oh goody! It's a banner day over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #420! Not only that - we're teaming up again with Double-Trouble Challenges - be sure to check out the extra surprises there! I decided to focus on DSP today, and it's hard for me to stop going back to the gorgeous Woven Threads - I am LOVING our new In Colors, and these papers give us even more option for sneaking them in! I decided to add this lovely Our Daily Bread sentiment from their God Verses 2 set - I've always felt like Psalm 19 is so celebratory!So, what will YOU create?? I can't wait to check it out over at the challenge! ODB God Verses 2; Woven Threads DSP; Whisper White & Pretty Peacock CS; Pretty Peacock Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies; Banner Triple Punch; Pretty Peacock Faceted Dots; #TSOT420. Yippee! So excited that Joy of Sets #007 has a new grid for us to play with again! I decided to go for the far right column: Twine-Die Cut-Emboss, and with some trepidation, give our new Heirloom Frames a go! I naturally pulled in the colors from the Woven Threads DSP, which is also in the suite it's shown with, but for my sentiment I went with this Isaiah quote in Hold on to Hope. And that was the kind of encouragement I needed to get through these frames, lol. It took me more tries than I want to tell to figure out the new "sandwich" for my machine, and in the end, I also discovered that the ORDER of the sandwich is making a big difference for me. I finally got some results I can share, though - woo hoo! Hold on to Hope Stamp Set; Woven Threads DSP; Whisper White, Terracotta Tile & Purple Posy CS; Pretty Peacock Ink; Heirloom Frames Dies; Heirloom Frames 3D EF; Linen Thread; Faceted Dots in Pretty Peacock; #JOSTTT007. It's so funny to see this sketch from Hand Stamped Sentiments #311 this week - I was just going through some old dies and came across my old giant scallop oval, lol. I feel like this is deja vu! In the end, I decided to go smaller with my Layering Oval framelits, and show off this lovely line from Isaiah - I got this idea I could put in some fireflies to be our "lights" lol. I kept it pretty simple, though I tried to squeeze in a little detail where I could - scallop edge, and embossed background. A nice show of Mango here, too! Jar of Love & ODB Everlasting Light Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Basic Black & Mango Melody CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mango Melody Blend Marker; Clear Wink of Stella (for the wings!); Polka Dot Basics EF; Layering Ovals & Everyday Jars Framelits; #HSSSC311. Butterflies Galore Class April 11 & 13! We have a couple gorgeous new butterfly sets this Spring and I think we should get out ALL the toys to do them up right! Let's hear it for wings everywhere! This class will highlight 6 all-occasion cards all featuring different elements of our amazing collections, even pulling in a few Sale-A-Bration items I saved just for this! Class includes all supplies needed (bring your own snips and fave adhesive!), drinks, snacks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Thursday, April 11 at 630 pm or Saturday, April 13 at 3 pm! RSVP today to save your spot - hope you can flutter on by! AAA #134 has another cool combo for us this week - keep your clean and simple design in one corner, and add in a musical twist if you can. Nifty! I tried to keep the card as spare and simple as I could, though I ended up going for some pretty layers - but no bling!! These guys are determined to drag me kicking and screaming into clean and simple by hook or by crook, and I think it's working, lol! A quick survey confirmed that I have NO music sets - isn't that crazy?? Then I thought to check my scripture sets, and sure enough, this beauty from Psalm 69 leapt out. I stamped it over some pale leaves and flowers (that other flower just snuck out there, I swear I don't know what happened, lol) and kept it at that. Now THIS is how to make music! Petal Palette & ODB God Verses 2 Stamp Sets; Soft Sea Foam, Petal Pink & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Soft Sea Foam & Petal Pink Inks; #AAA134. Looks like a frame-up going on over at As You See It #191 this week! More wide open space to show off pretty DSP - this time I pulled out my shimmery Frosted Floral - love the washes of color in this one! The sketch called for a nice wide border as well, so I had some fun with the coordinating colors today. It also seemed like a good chance to try out my new God Verses 2 from Our Daily Bread (shhh!) This quote from Psalm 57 is a good one for me, as it feels like there have been so many losses for our family to kick off the new year - solace in prayer is getting me through... ODB God Verses 2 Stamp Set; Frosted Floral DSP; Whisper White, Tranquil Tide, Gray Granite & Pear Pizzazz CS; Tranquil Tide & Soft Suede Stampin' Write Markers; Blackberry Bliss Heavy Baker's Twine; Petal Passion Embellishments; #AYSI191.

I decided to go for another scripture card today - my collection is getting pretty thin, shh! I have a new set from Our Daily Bread Designs that I decided to get inky today - and perfectly sized for my beloved Stitched Shapes framelits, lol.

I knew I wanted to bring on some gorgeous DSP for this one, and of course that means my Frosted Floral pack! This woodsy colored sheet with just a touch of shimmer is another fave from this set, and I love the watercolor look, too. The delicate images made me think of another scripture collection, and this one from 1 Peter from Our Daily Bread's Scripture Series 3 was just right. So many great reminders in these collections!

I saw our nice open space this week as a primo chance for a bold scripture card - I love this line from Psalm 138, and I find it always bears repeating (or is that reminding??) I decided to play with some pretty DSP to go with, and I love the colors in these sheets from the Share What You Love pack - can't go wrong with the pretty purple stripes, lol.
