Wow - so many possibilities at this week's SU! Only #170 "things that fly" theme! I'm also using this fun sketch from Paper Craft Crew #235 - perfect! You know what flies around here? Super-heroes! And this layout was perfect for it! This time a I made a gal hero - I see this as going to a teacher or amazing volunteer in my life - I think they'd be tickled, lol. My heroine also dresses in much chicer colors, of course - nothing garish for flying around the city... Mint and watermelon is just the thing!

I'm so excited about the shaker challenge over at Stamp Ink Paper #90 - good times! I'm adding in this lovely sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #313, too! So, you know as soon as I saw those ovals on the sketch I was going for Easter eggs, right? I almost did three large eggs, but then I switched to one "special" shaker plus some baskets, so I could play with the framelits even MORE, lol. Let's just say we could never do this card in a class, lol, but I sure had a good time! I think my fave thing about these framelits (besides the "grass") is the strip of eggs - I can cut out 5 different eggs at once! Brilliant!

Check out this sweet sketch from Global Design Project #78! I'm adding in this shiny color challenge from Merry Monday #239, too - whew! As I looked over my Christmas sets for likely candidates today, I kept going back to Reason for the Season. I could emboss and color, to combine these elements! So that's what I did, smoothing out some of the poinsettia petals with a blender pen. I did some digging for some retired DSP to set everything off, and then I added some gold and copper details from Pretty Pines to finish. You know what we need? Copper 1/8 ribbon! Yes! That would have been perfect! (But I like this, too, lol.

Sunday Stamps Challenge #148 has a gorgeous sketch for us this week - I so love banners! I'm also adding in What Will You Stamp #107 - I LOVE Here For You! I wanted to make this card a funny one, and I spent some time figuring out how I could create some kind of visual joke. Lucky for me, Cool Treats gave me just the chance I was looking for! Has anyone else ever had this happen? SUCH a bummer ( and I wish it doesn't happen to you, lol!)

Check out the yummy colors we have for you at Fab Friday #108 today! Delicious! I'm pairing it with this fun sketch from As You See It #145, too - so cool! And, just because I can, I'm also including Less Is More #319 - one-layer leaves theme! So, a set I have BARELY touched since our 2016-17 Annual Catalog came out is Love & Affection, I'm sorry to say. I think I was given this set for free at the last convention I went to? Or maybe I got it because it was available to me in pre-order. Somehow, I just haven't pulled it out that much - bad demo! But today, its little leaves were perfect for this combo of challenges, and I was careful not to blow the "one-layer" protocol, lol. Love the simplicity, and our cherry colors!

Love today's pretty sketch from TGIF #98! I'm combining it with this St. Pat's color challenge from Paper Players #335, too - lucky us! I decided to go with Sheltering Tree to play up my green theme today - and then I realized that I could use Vintage Leaves for the background element - leaves leaves everywhere! Lol... I snuck in a tiny amount of Early Espresso for accenting, but I think this is still pretty green. I did end up covering up my swing with the sentiment, sigh. Trying to do too much, I guess!

Check out this wacky slanty sketch at Case This Sketch #212! I have just the thing in mind! My first take on this sketch was that it's a good candidate for featuring some fun DSP, and of course, my current fave is Tasty Treats - the yummiest DSP ever! I am using every last single scrap of my favorite sheet in this pack, too - I think the one with all the different popsicles is just divine. I could paper my kitchen with it, I swear, lol! Anyway, I added a few details in Flirty Flamigo - a tiny cheat, since the "pink" in this is really Watermelon Wonder. But look how nice it looks! I just couldn't help it... Cool Treats Stamp Set; Tasty Treats DSP; Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip & Whisper White CS; Crumb Cake, Watermelon Wonder & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon; Flirty Flamingo Enamel Shapes; #CTS212. It's all "upstairs" today with Paper Craft Crew #234! I think the fresh colors at In{k}spire Me #291 will give me lots of playroom, too! With these colors, I decided to go hunting for something floral to feature, and landed on Remarkable You. This set is SO pretty, and I held off for SO long (at that price, lol) but I'm SO glad I finally caved and got it. It's such a joy to color, and fussy cut, and is so striking in just about any color combo. I even love the sentiment combo that comes with it - I put "and I'm so grateful for you" on the inside with a few extra leaves... Remarkable You Stamp Set; Tasty Treats DSP (and a couple retired scraps in Crumb Cake & Rose Red for the banners); Crumb Cake & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Pizzazz, Crumb Cake & Rose Red Inks; Banner Triple Punch; Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon; Rose Red Candy Dots (retired); #PCC234; #IM291. Today's sketch is from Freshly Made Sketch #278 - fun! I'm combining it with these sophisticated colors from Create With Connie & Mary #448! My little food truck started honking at me when I started browsing for today's "any shape," lol. I love this set so much! The truck looks super spiffy in these colors, and the sketch layout gave me some room for a few extra details, too - a perfect match! Tasty Truck Stamp Set; Whisper White, Chocolate Chip & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Chocolate Chip, Pool Party & Smoky Slate Inks; Lucky Stars EF; Smoky Slate Candy Dots (retired); #FMS278; #CCMC448. Check out the angles at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #312! I'm combining it with Color Throwdown #433! So the color challenge was definitely the harder part for me today. Really, I'm not sure that we have a "cornflower"-type blue at SU! still current. I had to pull out my old Brilliant Blue pad, and improvise, lol. Luckily, our Irresistibly Floral DSP makes that a cinch: custom DSP ready to go with just a bit of sponging! I added this nice big birthday sentiment from Big on Birthdays, and then decided to fussy cut a few extra little details. Still quick and fun! Big on Birthdays Stamp Set; Irresistibly Floral DSP; Wild Wasabi & Whisper White CS; Brilliant Blue (retired) & Wild Wasabi Inks; Wild Wasabi Candy Dots (retired); #TSOT312; #CTD433. |
