Seeing Psalm 57

1/11/2019

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...

So excited to get back to Christmas with this week's 52 Christmas Card Throwdown January sketch! It looks just like a present!
I decided this sketch left a nice open field for showing off some pretty paper - and I still have a few scraps of my beloved Under the Mistletoe DSP - LOVED the plaids in this pack! To keep it a little calmer, I added strips of solid Real Red CS for my "ribbon," and finished with some details from Alpine Adventure - love the curvy sentiment from this set, too!

What a great sketch from this week's Hand-Stamped Sentiments #305 to kick of 2019!
For today's card I went hunting for something I haven't inked in a while - Sea of Textures "reached out" and grabbed me right away, lol. Guess I just really wanted to stamp an octopus! I had some fun playing with a few details - there's so much in the Under the Sea framelits that go with that I've never tried! A little touch of seaweed seems just right down in that corner. At the last second, I realized that my retired Dapper Denim glitter enamel dots take on a green-ish look when placed over something with Tranquil Tide in it - score!

Try Treats on Tuesday

I hope you're into layers - because we are sure bringing them on this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #390!
We also have a secondary challenge to go with the sketch, of "bold and bright," which gave me an idea to see if I could work up some layers of our Sweetest Thing suite - I think it fits the bold and bright bill! I chose some scraps of my two fave DSPs, and then layered on a column of solid Granny Apple Green so I wasn't TOO bold, lol. A jar of bright jelly beans on a Pineapple Punch tag finishes it off, along with a few glitter enamel dots. I think I've gone color crazy here!
So, what will YOU create?? I can't wait to see you over at the challenge!

Good times! Case This Sketch #303 is pulling out a blast from the past with this one - now's my chance to try it out! I'm throwing in TGIF #193's bright colors, too!
Those colors really reminded me of the gorgeous Broadway suite - all I needed to do was swap out Lovely Lipstick with Melon Mambo and I was all set! I ended up moving around some of the sketch elements, lol, typical! I'm still happy with how it looks though - that marquee is so fun to play with! I dressed it up with some silver pearls, and even added some balloons - I hadn't used those before! I'd say this fits the throwback bill!

So excited by this super cute sketch at Freshly Made Sketch #369 - such fun layers!
I couldn't resist pulling out our froggie SAB set again today - So Hoppy Together. For this one, I added a crown for this prince, and put a lovely big congrats on the inside from yesterday's Well Said set - a lovely combo if I do say so myself, lol... With all the green, I couldn't help adding a splash of Gorgeous Grape - we all know I'm a big purple-green freak! A quick and simple card, finished with a few glitter enamel dots for an extra bit of shine - fit for a prince, lol...

Oh, good deal - Stamps Ink Paper #180 has a great theme for the start of a new year - thank yous!
And of course, wouldn't you just know it, SU! has an awesome new bundle just for the occasion! Well Said is a GIANT ensemble - 51 stamps with every phrase and combo you can think, for all occasions. It also has an AMAZING thinlit set to complement it, featuring accompanying words in different script and size, plus some pretty little decor elements to go along, too. There are even 2-part phrases for the INSIDE of your card - so handy! I kept it fairly simple for this challenge, which is all about the basics - stamps, ink and paper - all a gal needs for perfect card-making!

Happy fabulous New Year! We're excited at Fab Friday #154 to kick off 2019 with this fun color challenge!
With this many greens, I knew I had to pull out the big stamps, lol, so here's a look at the elegant Sale-A-Bration set Lasting Lily. It has these two lovely lilies and stems, and a pretty leaf, along with gorgeous sayings to accompany the beautiful blooms. I picked out the flower spadix with my Lemon Lime Twist marker for a bit more definition - yes, I looked up lily anatomy so I'd get the right word, lol. Vocab is important!
I can't wait to see what YOU do with these colors - see you at the challenge!

Butterfly Gala

Such a fun sketch this week at Global Design Project #170 - so excited to play along!
I decided today to break in another new Spring set - Butterfly Gala! I've actually grown a bit stamp-shy with butterfly sets the last few years - we've had so many, I try not to get caught unless there's a major advance in the set design - which there totally IS for this one! To start, there's a lovely punch to go with, that punches the two sizes at the same time. Then, the stamp set has FOUR styles of butterfly pairs, with multiple two-step stamping coloring options - it's amazing and SO versatile! And of course, the sentiments are super sweet with an eclectic font. So, yes, a new butterfly set managed to tick all the boxes for me - I think it will for you, too!
Butterfly Gala Stamp Set; Gingham Gala DSP; Whisper White & basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Mango Melody Inks; Lemon Lime Twist Organdy Ribbon; Butterfly Duet Punch; Glimmer Dots; #GDP170.

All right - so excited that The Library Challenge #23 is doing an "anthology" challenge - that is, pick a previous challenge! Yes! I haven't been here long so this is a great chance - and I knew as soon as I saw 101 Dalmatians that was the one!
BECAUSE, of course, this is my chance to show off the new Happy Tails bundle, a sweet doggy collection to go with our Nine Lives kitty! It even has a builder punch to go with, too! One of the doggie accessory stamps is even a set of dalmatian spots, so that was pretty much a done deal right there, lol. I tried to squeeze a few extras from the set - love this little dog house and heart, but there's also pawprints, a bone, different spots - and perfect coordinating sentiments! Good times!
