This week's Merry Monday #144 is a fun one - use bows! Boy, do I have something new for that! Think I'll try to make it work with this week's Nacho Average Challenge #127, too! So I have to say, that Bow Builder Punch is sure a cutie, and a snap to use! I can see tossing on little bows all over the place now! I've left mine puffy here, but I can see them looking cute flattened out, too. A few glue dots and we are in business! I foresee a lot of Christmas tags with bows next year, lol...

Goodness, check out the wide open field of play in this week's Sunday Sketch Challenge #94! I feel a big scripture card coming on, with all that room... I finally have room for this John 14 quote - yay! Still feeling purple and green, too, so I had some fun with some scraps from the Color Me Autumn DSP pack. I figured since I was going off the reservation with my stamp, I'd go fro broke and bring in a rogue button, too - I so wish we made all the In Colors in all the usual embellishments, too!

I'm so excited I finally get to tell you my big (and fabulous!) news! I am thrilled and honored to have been invited to join the design team at Fab Friday - I'm SUCH a fan of that challenge blog! EeeEEEeee! Picture me with my perma-glow locked on! So, we're kicking off the Fab Year with a color challenge at Fab Friday #57! This being my team submission and all, I really sweated over this one, lol... I so wanted to wow you all, and we all know how hard I find color challenges in general, sigh. At the end of the day, I'm so happy with this card - subtle touches of color, discreet bling for my sweetie, low-key heart infestation - yes! Don't freak out that I went a little Big Shot crazy - all the shapes I wanted just happen to be "bit parts" of larger sets! I can't wait to see all your work over at Fab Friday - see you there! Crazy About You Stamp Set; Stacked With Love DSP Stack; Crisp Cantaloupe, Calypso Coral, Whisper White & Real Red CS; Real Red Ink; Happy Hearts Embossing Folder; Snowflake Thinlet Card, Hello You Thinlets, Mini Treat Bag Thinlets & Hearts Collection Framelits; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Awww, look at the sweet sketch at this week's Can You Case It? #55! I think it's time to trot out the super-sweet Painted Petals suite to go with! My dabble in Wild Wasabi went so well yesterday, I decided to go for it again. I have to say, the "painted" papers in the Painted Blooms DSP set are truly gorgeous. I chose the leafy page to be my background (and on my envelope flap!), and inked up some flowers in Blackberry Bliss for my floating panels. Everyone knows I love the green-and-purple color combo, right? I needed a little something to fill in the corners of my image, so out came my trusty Beautiful Wings embosslits, since I thought the new Butterfly Thinlets would be too large, sigh... The embosslits did let me sneak on a touch of bling, though - yum! Painted Petals Stamp Set; Painted Blooms DSP; Wild Wasabi, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White & Daffodil Delight CS; Wild Wasabi & Blackberry Bliss Ink; Beautiful Wings Embosslit; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

It's always so exciting when we start a new month of challenges at My Pumpkin Challenge - this month we're all about love with MPC-0215 - Love Is In The Air! I'm going to make mine be green with this week's In{k}spire Me #183's color challenge - my sister's fave colors! Perfect! It was a lot of fun making a Valentine in "camo" colors, I'll admit. And I'll also admit I haven't exactly been a fan of these particular greens. Put them all together, though, and WOW! I really love how it came out! Some fun banner shapes, some twine and candy dots, and we are set for My Green Valentine! Kermit would be proud! Paper Pumpkin Filled With Love; plus, Crumb Cake, Mossy Meadow, Wild Wasabi, Pistachio Pudding & Whisper White CS; Mossy Meadow, Pistachio Pudding, Wild Wasabi & Crumb Cake Inks; Bitty Banners & Circle Card Framelits; Subtles Candy Dots in Wild Wasabi; Pistachio Pudding Heavy Baker's Twine.

Check out this week's tag-themed sketch from Retro Sketch #151! It will go perfect with this week's cool and manly color challenge from Create With Connie & Mary #340! AND we can sneak in this week's SU-per Challenge #74 to use baker's twine - woo hoo! A triple play! Since I knew I wanted to go manly, I naturally pulled out my new Guy Greetings set. So many fun little images in this one! My final result looked a little washed out to me, so I went back and layered the tag a little to give it some more pop. Fussy cutting all those cute hats was sure fun! Guy Greetings Stamp Set; Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon, Sahara Sand & Whisper White CS; Adventure Bound DSP stack; Basic Gray, Lost Lagoon & Sahara Sand Inks; Neutrals Button in Basic Gray (old style); Sahara Sand Candy Dots; Angled Tag Topper Punch; Basic Gray Baker's Twine. Oo, look at that medallion shape smack dab in the middle of this week's Freshly Made Sketch #171! Think I'll match this beauty up with Just Add Ink #248's color challenge! That strong central circle immediately sent me to our new Adventure Awaits stamp - I LOVE this sentiment! So true, too! Wish I were better about remembering it when the chips are down, lol... I had a hard time pulling in the color challenge - I ended up with only touches of Rich Razzleberry, and I'm happy with the result. I really had to raid some different DSP sets for this one... Adventure Awaits & Life's Adventure Stamp Sets; Sweet Taffy, Moonlight & Birthday Bash DSP; Sahara Sand, Night of Navy, Pool Party & Whisper WHite CS; Night of Navy Ink; Circles Collection Framelits; Corner Rounder & Star (to flag the banners) Punches; Neutrals & Brights Candy Dots in Sahara Sand & Rick Razzleberry. Here's a fun little layout from Mojo Monday #382! How to make this tall and skinny?? Let's add this bright color challenge from Nacho Average Challenge #126, too! This card involved LOTS of playing with the sketch elements for me today. I had a hard time settling on my focal image, but on the bright side, I have several pre-stamped pieces from various flower sets ready to go now, lol. In the end, I'm still too fascinated by the cheery balloons in Celebrate Today! Who wouldn't want to arrive home to garlands and flags in your favorite colors? Nobody I know!
