Waterfront in Colors

Oh good - Inspire Create Challenge #34's In Color challenge is perfect for me, to get these beauties out and play!  I haven't been using these enough for sure...
So, I really have a hard time with this set of In Colors - I don't do bright too often.  But what about some bright splashes of color?  That could be fun!  I decided to pull out Waterfront, since it has all those landscape-building scribbles, and this "every little kindness" phrase is one of my all-time faves, lol...  I just noticed though, I went for the full set of In Colors here, and used Blueberry Bushel, NOT Night of Navy, and Grapefruit Grove instead of Calypso Coral.  Whoops!  What a dunce!  Shh, don't tell on me.  I didn't do any measuring to get this color block, I swear, I just decided to do a wider border than usual, and all my stripes just worked out!  Nice!

Oval Love

I see some fun cards ahead with Back to Basics #19's "shaped card" challenge - make sure you check out the DT samples, lol!
I spent some time browsing some of my old fun dies thinking I would cut something on the fold for a shaped card, but I the end, I came across my old Ovals Collection framelits, for a really good card-sized oval shape, lol.  I started thinking about a pretty paper for the background, and came across this chunk of Share What You Love DSP, so that led me to the accompanying stamp set, Love What You Do.  It's all about the Blackberry Bliss today!  Such a fun little note!

Lifetime of Love

Yippee!  The Sisterhood of Crafters first challenge of the year is perfect - "make it sparkle!"
I decided to browse my glimmer paper stash to see if anything jumped out at me for this one.  And actually, something did!  I had totally forgotten I had some Blushing Bride Glimmer, and the pretty pink made me start thinking of hearts and love, lol.  I've always loved the squiggly heart in the Sunshine Wishes Thinlits, so I pulled out my Sunshine Sayings set to go with.  I ended up keeping it pretty simple - two entwined hearts with a "lifetime of love" sentiment - perfect for an anniversary or even Valentine's Day!  Yay for sparkle!

Surrounded By Love (& Pumpkin Club Jan 26!)

We have a great banded sketch for you this week at Fab Friday #155!
That nice horizontal got me thinking about our awesome long bench in the Sitting Pretty bundle, and I knew I needed to pull that one out and get some bulldog time!  I'm not sure why I always gravitate to the more muted colors for this one - I think I've used Soft Sea Foam every time for it, lol.  Anyway, I really wanted my dog, plant and birdie for the bench, and then I decided to use Well Said for my sentiment.  I figured the "here for you" thought went great with my little loyal pup, and I matched it with a "surrounded by love" phrase for the inside.  Such a great sentiment set!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations - see you at the challenge!

A Fifth of Fusion

Oh goodie - Fusion Challenges is back from the holidays, and with their 5th Anniversary challenge!  Wowza!
In honor of their suggested butterfly theme, I pulled out my Butterfly gala - fast becoming a go-to for me, I don't know what's wrong with me, lol.  I also snagged my Botanical Butterflies DSP for some background detail.  I followed the sketch pretty well, for the most part, and added a few popped up butterflies to pull the color over the black and white layer.  And yes, I'm actually using Grapefruit Grove - amazing!!  Lol.  Can you see my tiny little antennae made with Black Metallic Thread on my butterflies?  Cool trick and super easy to stick to a glue dot on the back!  Congrats to Fusion - here's to another 5 years!

The Library Challenge #24 has a brand new cover for us this week - Absolute Beginners.  Another new title for me, but gotta love that yellow scooter! 
So I OF COURSE ran straight for Mediterranean Moments - one Vespa, coming up!  I kept the card fairly simple, leaving the background black and white, but I couldn't resist popping up a fussy cut and colored cycle - it's so small, I wanted to add a little pizzazz somehow.  I tried to use an accent blue that mirrors the book cover color, too, Coastal Cabana seems about right!  I turned it into a Happy Retirement (inside, lol) card using Well Said - this is the kind of retirement I think I could get used to, lol...

Say No to Cake??

We're so excited to announce our new challenge this week - trying something fun - our first "mix it up" challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #391!  Use the technique, or the sketch, or mix it up for both!
I'm super proud that I managed to squeeze in both challenges - I pulled some happy Picure Perfect Party DSP out of my retired bin, AND slipped in our New Amazing Life set, which totally uses mixed up fonts in the sentiments - yes!  I took my colors from the DSP, of course, and even added a fussy cut little cake to go with my saying.  And of course, we NEVER say no to cake!
So, what will you create??  I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!

Very cool - AAA #131 is changing up their format with the new year - they've offered a banded CAS sketch with an optional twist to use pastel colors - very fun!
The first thing I did was go looking for something fun to make the "bands" with - Little Elephant is perfect, especially since I haven't used it in a while!  I picked out some soft and pretty colors and got to work.  I did my rows first in stamped off Calypso Coral, So Saffron & Soft Sea Foam - gorgeous!  Then I punched out a stamped off elephant, and added my fave sentiment from this set - the smaller elephant is on the inside!  I decided to add a few Faceted Dots, since I don't use this color that much - seize the day, and all, lol...

So excited for our first sketch of 2019 here at Sunday Stamps #196!  We definitely have stars in our eyes, lol!
I looked at those stars and immediately went hunting for what I'd use instead, lol - how about butterflies?  Once that decision was made, Butterfly Gala was a shoe-in, of course.  I decided to cover my whole card base with this lovely Botanical Butterfly DSP, something I don't do THAT often, and since I was using a pretty green for that, I went with purple accents so I could hit my fave color combo!  I picked a different sentiment this round - love the different fonts here, and did a different pair of butterflies, too.  I used Gorgeous Grape, but stamped off for the wings.  I finished my pretties with Black Metallic Thread for the antennae, and a few Gingham Gala sequins - yum!
SO, what will YOU create?  I'll se you over at the challenge!

In{k}spired Desert

I am super happy that In{k}spire Me #383 kicks off some changes over there - now I have two weeks to play, and that gives me plenty of time to jump in!  They're even doing BOTH a sketch and a color challenge!
I thought at first I'd be going for just the sketch this round, but after I picked out Flowering Desert to play with, I realized I could squeeze in the colors, too - yay!  I started by building a simple cactus on my stitched circle, then added the flowers and grasses.  I found some skinny Fresh Fig ribbon to go with the sketch, but finally decided to color some Perfect White Accents with my Petal Pink Blend Marker for the final touch - I'm really pleased with how the details came together!
Flowering Desert Stamp Set; Whisper White, Fresh Fig & Mossy Meadow CS; Mossy Meadow, Lovely Lipstick, Petal Pink & Fresh Fig Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Sparkle EF; Fresh Fig Sheer Ribbon; Perfect White Accents (retired); Petal Pink Blends Marker; #IM383.
