Oh my goodness, we've been having more dreary gray days here in AZ than I would have thought physically possible - enough already! We live in the desert, let's get with the program! In response to the weather, I put together my "Sun Dance" card - rainbows for everyone! This week's Retro Sketches #49 was a super fun layout for me - I feel like I've done a similar one on other cards, but the shapes are so easy to swap out! Yay! This card went together in 15 minutes flat - can you tell I'm ready for the return of the sun? Pretty Petites & Sweet Essentials stamp sets; Summer Smooches DSP; Whisper White, Real Red, Tangerine Tango, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeade, Tempting Turquoise & Rich Razzleberry CS and inks; 7/8" Square & Petite Curly Label punches; self-adhesive Rhinestones.

Have I ever mentioned before that my favorite color is purple? It's true. And I'm a purple snob about it, too. When I first discovered SU!, their purples were the lovely Perfect Plum & Pale Plum, which paired together like, duh, they were made for each other. Then we lost Pale Plum, and gained Rich Razzleberry. And I was NOT. PLEASED. It was too brash, too neon, and too weird. See what I mean? Purple snob. These days, though, slowly but surely, Rich Razzleberry has been carving out its place in my go-to palette, and the papers in Sale-A-Bration's Sycamore Street DSP have pretty much destroyed the last of my reservations - how gorgeous is it here with Summer Starfruit, which is another weird color?? So, Rich Razzleberry was my starting point for this week's Fab Friday #11, and look where we ended up - Fabulous Town! From My Heart stamp set; Sycamore Street DSP; Sahara Sand, Rich Razzleberry, Summer Starfruit & Whisper White CS; Lacy Brocade embossing folder; Labels Collection framelits. This week's Clean & Simple #226 was a bit of a reversal for me - I don't usually use a patterned paper for the card base! I played with this in both Crumb Cake and Whisper White, but Crumb Cake only won by a nose - I still left in the white version of the highlighted flower. It just really jumped out at me, in a good way! Bloomin' Marvelous stamp set; Parisian Breeze Specialty DSP (retired); Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake & Whisper White CS; Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi & Baja Breeze inks; Essentials piercing template; self-adhesive Jumbo Pearls. OK, here's my second stab at Freshly Made Sketch #71 - I like it much better! I did want to try to break out of a color rut I feel like I've been in lately, and I really wanted to play with some of my new(er) toys more... This feels much more balanced to me! And it never hurts to restock the scripture cards! Secret Garden & Our Daily Bread Scripture Collection 5 stamp sets; Crumb Cake, Raspberry Ripple CS; Print Poetry DSP stack; Midnight Muse, Crumb Cake, Raspberry Ripple & Lucky Limeade inks; Crumb Cake taffeta ribbon; Linen thread; Slot punch (retired); Secret Garden framelits; self-adhesive jumbo Pearl. And to go with, just in time for February, here's the "Best of Love" set now available! Click on the picture for a full size flyer - love that little olive! Did I mention that for every 6 sets of these that you buy, you get to send in a Collectors Card for a free stamp set of your choice worth up to $14.95? I started mine! Hm, I feel like I've made a Fresh Cup of Thanks before! Oh well! This week's Freshly Made Sketch #71 seems to like caffeine! This one was tough for me - I have another arrangement of this card that I'll be burning later, and I'm not entirely satisfied with this one, but it's closer! I was trying to make the tag and the shape "work together," but it looks a bit weird to me... Might have to take another crack at this sketch later! Tea Shoppe stamp set; Whisper White, So Saffron, Crumb Cake & Perfect Plum CS; Subtles DSP stack; Certainly Celery grosgrain; self-adhesive pearls; Modern Label punch; Movers & Shapers dies.
