Psalm 69

AAA #134 has another cool combo for us this week - keep your clean and simple design in one corner, and add in a musical twist if you can.  Nifty!
I tried to keep the card as spare and simple as I could, though I ended up going for some pretty layers - but no bling!!  These guys are determined to drag me kicking and screaming into clean and simple by hook or by crook, and I think it's working, lol!  A quick survey confirmed that I have NO music sets - isn't that crazy??  Then I thought to check my scripture sets, and sure enough, this beauty from Psalm 69 leapt out.  I stamped it over some pale leaves and flowers (that other flower just snuck out there, I swear I don't know what happened, lol) and kept it at that.  Now THIS is how to make music!

High Tide

This week's As You See It #194 has a cool "fill in the blank" challenge - "When I think simple, I think ____."  Nifty!
To get started, I wanted to pull a set that hasn't been out to play for a bit, and landed on High Tide - love this lighthouse.  So, when I think simple, I think one-layer, with stamps, ink and paper.  This set has SO many options for setting your scene, it's hard to leave much free space to be really "clean & simple" maybe, but with everything all on one layer, I DO think of it as "simple."  I used plenty of colors, but they're also muted a little on my Sahara Sand base - perfect for a beach scene, lol.  I think I might have sand on the brain just now - three more days til Hawaii!

I am so super excited about our first team-up challenge this year for Try Stampin' on Tuesday's #397 - we're partnering with Retro Rubber #105 - one of my faves!
I went back to the vault for today, and pulled out my all-time fave baby set - Baby Bundle from 2011!  I just love the line-art images in this set, so perfect for coloring any way we want.  There are a ton of adorable little baby accessories, too, including a super cute onesie on a hanger!  When my daughter was small, onesies were our fave "outfit,"  perfect for desert living, too, lol.  I took my colors from the gorgeous Twinkle Twinkle DSP, and just followed the sketch pretty closely.  Ahhh, baby cuteness!
I so can't wait to see your Retro creations, I sure hope you'll come play!  See you at the challenge!

OK, there's still time for one last late Valentine, right?  Because I want in on this weeks In{k}spire Me #386!
I pulled out my Nine Lives set to pull off one more love card - I loved this set so much I finally broke down and got the cat punch, too, when I saw it!  Anyway, my kitty is all dressed up and ready for dinner out, with her pretty Lovely Lipstick bow and details.  I tell you, this Sale-A-Bration foil has really helped me see the light on Lovely Lipstick now, and the Grapefruit Grove, though I didn't use that one today.  Anyway, this stamp set makes it so easy to make pretty kitties!  Love it!

Clearly, my team is channeling my upcoming Maui trip with our gorgeous beach colors at this weeks Sunday Stamps #199!  Only 5 more days!
I decided to roll with it and pulled out the ever amazing Waterfront set - these stamps are just phenomenal for building water-scape scenes of all kinds!  I tried for a little island floating in a gorgeous sunset - all kinds of strategic stamping and stamping off going for this one!  I wouldn't normally think of these colors together, but they definitely have a tropical vibe going on - I'm counting the hours at this point, lol.
So, what will YOU do with these colors?  I can't wait to see your creations over at the challenge!

Good times ahead!  Hand-Stamped Sentiments #308 has a fun sketch for us this week!
Today was a good day to browse for some beloved stamps that need some ink!  I landed on Bubble Over - still LOVE this set!  I decided the bottles would be perfect for the oval shape in the sketch, so I went to town making up a couple of cold ones, lol.  I still have some hoarded Bubbles & Fizz DSP, so I took my colors from that, and had a time designing my own "bottle labels!"  With all those bubbles popping on my DSP, I decided I didn't really need any extra bling, but these happy colors are certainly cheering me up today!

Yay!  Another tic-tac-toe challenge, this time from Retro Rubber #104!  Super fun! 
I'm going with Butterflies-Green-Textured Embossing - and I know just the set I want to use!  2009's God's Beauty is actually currently in my for sale box (only $5 if you're interested!) but I have always loved the butterfly in this set, along with the Emerson quote!  I feel like the butterfly is so realistic, and it's so easy to color while keeping that butterfly detail.  I did a nice Layered Leaves background, and covered it in speckle from Waterfront - somehow my spritzers seem to have walked away - time to check hubby's work bench I think, lol.  Anyway, I'm super happy with this card, and reminded again how much I love this set!

The Note

Oo, another new title for me at this week's Library Challenge #26 - The Note - looks like a perfect romance read for the beach!
I could have sworn that I had a double-decker bus stamp somewhere that I had intended to use, but alas, that must have been my imagination, lol.  I finally settled on our gorgeous pens in the Crafting Forever stamp set - perfect for a little note, right?  I also went with this sentiment I built from teh Paper Pumpkin All About Everything set - very romantic, as the book seems to be, and I love the font to go with these fancy pens - I could imagine writing this with a good fountain pen myself, lol.  I kept the design pretty clean and simple, with just a few touches of color, though I did add a few hearts!  I think this one will go in the Valentines!

Here we go!  Joy of Sets #002 is back with a special grid to celebrate the month of love, lol.  Let's check it out!
After looking over the grid, I decided to start from a weird place for me - I picked a square, and then tried to figure out which way I'd go with it.  Today I picked "emboss," and decided to do the vertical from there - glimmer-emboss-white.  Easy peasy!  I browsed through my EFs, and landed on the retired Pretty Print, which I've always thought looked romantic, lol.  From there I pulled out another retired goody, Valentine Defined - I love this tree!  I snuck in some glimmer by punching some red glimmer hearts for some additional detail - it looks sweet, I think!

Country Floral (& Pumpkin Club Feb 23!)

We have a lovely slant to this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #396!
As soon as I saw our optional theme of "flower fun," I knew I wanted to try out our brand new Country Floral Dynamic Embossing Folder.  This beauty is in the second wave of Sale-A-Bration releases, and I snapped it up right away!  The dynamic folders give such a deep emboss - so much detail!  The flyer showed a piece of the emboss colored, and I immediately knew I would be trying that - here it is!  I wanted it to be bright and bold, but really, I think the softer colors are better for this technique.  I went to town with my blends, as usual, and I think it was fairly successful - I'm thinking I might need more practice - but it was FUN - and that was the idea!
So, what will you have for us this week?  I can't wait to see your creations over at the challenge!
Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Set; Granny Apple Green & Whisper White CS; Country Floral DEF; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mango Melody, Poppy Parade, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Highland Heather, Soft Sea Foam & Granny Apple Green Blends; Basic Jewel Pearls; #TSOT396.
