Aw, here's a cute little sketch from Retro Sketch #198! It's so cute I think I'll keep the sweetness going with my Honeycomb Happiness set! That little ice cream comb has been calling me, lol. I dug out some sweet-theme paper from my Cherry on Top DSP stack, added a couple sparkles, and I was good to go! Of course, I sat and made like 5 different "frames" from various framelit sets - the star ALMOST won!

I had to laugh when I saw this week's TGIF #38 animal challenge - we are SO the animal kingdom over here - sign me up! Then I thought about how I could add in Just Add Ink #294's add something new challenge, and I had an idea! That's right, time to play with my Playful Pals set, but make a card instead of a pyramid! AND, I wanted to try for a chocolate lab, because that's what we have here, and they are just loads of fun, and trouble, too, lol. That turns out to be true when I'm trying to make them into a card, too, sigh. I fiddled with those ears for half an hour, and I'm STILL not totally happy, but that's OK. Chocolate labs are also always a work in progress, lol...

Here's a fun and fresh sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #389! I'm combining it with this gorgeous color challenge from In{k}spire Me #232! With another landscape (yay!) to fill, I decided this would be a great time to try out my new World Traveler embossing folder, and since I was travelin', I decided to bring out the SAB set Sky is the Limit, too. Fun times! I love this card, and had a great time putting it together, but wow, I was shocked by some of the color gaps in my accessories that were revealed to me: TONS of the retired Not Quite Navy stuff, ZERO in Night of Navy. How did that happen? Going to my catty NOW! Sky is the Limit Stamp Set; Happy Haunting DSP (retired); Tip Top Taupe, Night of Navy, Soft Sky & Whisper White CS; Night of Navy & Tip Top Taupe Inks; World Traveler Embossing Folder; Ovals Collection Framelits; Regals Candy Dots in Night of Navy.

Here's a nifty landscape sketch from this week's Match the Sketch #107! And I think it will look totally cute with Stamp Ink Paper #30's cheery colors! OK, I couldn't stay away from a little water--coloring this morning, and Birthday Blooms is such a perfect stamp set for it! Today I heat embossed in gold, and painted in with my Rose Red - a color I almost NEVER use! I think The last time I pulled it out was for another color challenge, now that I think about it. Anyway, I love it with this stamp set and gold! Such a rich color! Enjoy! Birthday Blooms Stamp Set; Gold Soiree Specialty DSP (retired); Crumb Cake, Rose Red & Whisper White CS; Gold Encore, Rose Red & Crumb Cake Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Metallics Sequins in Gold.

Here's a fun Christmas challenge from this week's Merry Monday #187 - use plaid! I think I'll get a little help from this week's Freshly Made Sketch #219, too - these nice background layers are perfect for showing off some plaid! Once I dug out some plaids from the still-current-because-it's-in-the-BIG-book Merry Moments, I decided to make a little scene to float over it. "Making a little scene" pulled me over to the Jingle All the Way bundle, which, frankly, I ended up not using as much as I thought I would. Which is SO bizarre, because it's so fun to play with those layers! I arranged my pieces, cut out the whole thing with ovals, and added some touches of glitter - I even glittered a Snowflake Element! Love how THAT came out for sure... Jingle All the Way Stamp Set; Merry Moments DSP; Crumb Cake, Cherry Cobbler, Night of Navy, Mossy Meadow & Whisper White CS; Cherry Cobbler Ink; Ovals Collection Framelits; Sleigh Ride Edgelits; Softly Falling Embossing Folder; Snowflakes Element; Occasions Piercing Template (retired); Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Hey there, Nacho fans! I'm so excited to be part of the "something new" coming out of Nacho Average Challenge - a blog hop that's all about the 2016 Sale-A-Bration! I hope you'll enjoy your time here, and then hop on through to the other designers - I have a list of links below if you get lost, lol. Anyway, I decided to feature the beautiful Flowering Fields set, and actually make a few cards, combining it with the Greetings Thinlets, since there's no sentiment with this set. Those pretty stems are enough, believe me! I love "outline" botanicals that I can color - it's like they made this set for me, lol. For my first card, I decided to just indulge my inner coloring gremlin, and line up all the stems I could fit on my card front. Then I went to town with my Subtles markers. I decided to float this image over a piece of Wildflower Fields DSP, and then add another pop of color with the thinlet in Blackberry Bliss. Because you know, green and purple, it's my thing! Flowering Fields Stamp Set; Wildflower Fields DSP; Old Olive, Whisper White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Subtles Collection Markers; Greetings Thinlets. For my second card, I again kept it super simple. The stem on this card is the one I couldnt fit on the first card, so I decided to do an all-over pattern with it, and then color them all in different shades on green. I chose the "hello" thinlet for this one, and I again layered fiive of them to really add some dimension to the sentiment. In the end, I added a few rhinestones for a bit of shine. A quick and gentle card! Flowering Fields Stamp Set; Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz & Mossy Meadow CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pear Pizzazz, Wild Wasabi, Old Olive, Always Artichoke, Mint Macaron, Mossy Meadow & Garden Green Markers; Greetings Thinlets; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. For my last idea, I got thinking about how the last sentiment in the Greetings Thinlets, "Cheers," is something we always say in our house when we're toasting, or relaxing, or just getting together for good times. And everyone has to take a second and go around and clink everyone else's glasses - right? So I made up a set of tags we can hang on wine bottles, or other drinks, that we'll take along to our newly revived supper club - I so can't wait to get back together with all our friends and families! Always good times to treasure. Hopefully these tags will add an extra bit of "cheer" to our fun... Flowering Fields Stamp Set; Elegant Eggplant, Lost Lagoon, Delightful Dijon & Whisper White CS; Perfect Plum, Pool Party & So Saffron Inks; Greetings Thinlets; Curvy Corner Trio & PL Corner Rounder Punches; 1/4" Grosgrain in Elegant Eggplant; Ruffled Ribbon in Pool Party; Dotted Lace Trim in Delightful Dijon.

Is it my imagination, or does this nifty sketch from In{k}spire Me #231 make the card look taller? How cool! So, this was another chance to use a stamp set that hasn't come out to play lately again - Barnyard Babies. Such adorable little critters! So I decided to shoot for a baby card - and I HAD to use the little lambs, lol. I played around with layering the accompanying DSP with some bright card stock, and tried a bit of fussy cutting, too. And I did a little trip in my accessories basket - see what I found at the bottom? Yup, an almost-full box of Soda Pop Tops - remember those? I even had one already smooshed - perfect!
