SU Only #196 has a lovely "Spring" challenge for us this week! I'll use Case This Sketch #263 to get me there, too, and TGIF #151's inspiration for good measure! All these pretty spring flower hints had me running to my Petal Palette suite, of course, and today was a good day to color, too! I picked out the yellow, orange and rose colors from TGIF, shuffled around some elements CTS, and hope it's Spring-y enough for SUO, lol. I think I really do like the Daffodil-Pumpkin-Coral combo. I have a tiny oddness: My card base, which has some stamping on the inside, is Pear Pizzazz, but the background color I added to my DSP was Wild Wasabi. I think I can live with it!

Woo hoo! Time for a new sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #360! I think it'll go great with these colors from In{k}spire Me #342, too! This is the time of year I start noticing stamp sets on my shelves that maybe haven't been out to play in a while, like the one I settled on for today's challenges, Sharing Sweet Thoughts, this year's RMHC set. It was on my very first catty order, because well, JAR set, lol, but I really haven't gotten back to it too often! Time to change that! I combined with the new-to-me background Marbled - it's awesome! Other than that, simple, sweet thoughts, all the way... See you over at TSOT - can't wait to see your creations!

Wow, As You See It #171 has quite the challenge for us this week - hope I can work this out, lol! I'm going to try and shoe-horn in this gorgeous sketch from Match the Sketch #220. So, holy SMOKES this was a challenge for me, lol. I'm not sure I paid enough homage to the sketch at the end of the day, but I'll still go for it, since it was definitely my inspiration for the layout I ended up with, anyway! My main concern was all the features of the AYSI challenge. I decided "wide" meant landscape for me, lol, and I pulled out a star feature I haven't used in FOREVER, that also covered "one word." "Confetti" says shaker to me, so in went some rainbow sequins, with a rainbow banner across the top. Then I had to stop - everything else I tried just didn't work, lol. This was a serious exercise for me! You're So Sweet Stamp Set; Whisper White, Basic Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pacific Point & Rich Razzleberry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Rainbow Sequin Mix cobbled together from Brights, Metallics & an old Paper Pumpkin; Mini Treat Bag Thinlits; Banner Punch (retired); #AYSI171; #MTS220.

Let's play! I'll be using Freshly Made Sketch #328 to help out too! I couldn't resist going back to my Hug in a Mug set for this one - I so love to play with all the yummy pieces in this one! I needed to boost the peppermint factor, too, though, so I also pulled out Candy Cane Christmas for some extra support, lol. Canes and starbrights, yes! Chocolate cheers, everyone - only 281 days til Christmas! Hug in a Mug & Candy Cane Christmas Stamp Sets (both retired {SOB}); Whisper White, Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso CS; Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso Inks; Greetings Thinlits (retired); #MM281; #FMS328. Wow, super yummy colors from Global Design Project #129 this week! Let's take them for a spin at Stamp Ink Paper #141's sketch! So today's card might be one of those where I think I have an amazing idea, but can't quite get my execution to match my mind's eye, lol. But, Barn Door has been burning on my to-stamp pile for FAR too long now, and I needed to just go for it! My thought was that I had a nice ready-made blocky shape, and some fun ways to work in the colors. However, looking at the finished card, I'm getting a flying door feel, that doesn't make much sense, lol. I do like the door stamped on the woodgrain, though, hmm... Well, I'm a warts-and-all kind of blogger, lol. What do YOU think?? A little too Dr. Parnassium?? Barn Door Stamp Set; Wood Textures, Sweet Soiree & Coffee Break DSP; Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz & Soft Suede CS; Soft Suede, Calypso Coral & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Sliding Door & Layering Circles Framelits; Calypso Coral Enamel Shapes; #GDP129; #SIP141. Friday is here and you know what that means! Fab Friday #133 is ready to play! I'm mixing in Paper Players #384 pink challenge, too! So, I think the Bubble Over suite might be my all time Occasions fave, and I love going for all different color schemes with it - so how about some pink pop today?? I say YES! I pulled out all the pinks I had in my caddy for this one and just started mixing and matching for the little bottles and labels. Then I added in some bubbly backgrounds and extra pink bubbles just because, and we are in the pink! Yum! I need a strawberry something for lunch now, I think... Can't wait to see what you bring to Fab Friday - see you at the challenge! Bubble Over Stamp Set; Bottles & Bubbles Framelits; Powder Pink, Calypso Coral, Whisper White & Silver Foil CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pink Pirouette, Melon Mambo, Blushing Bride, Rose Red, Powder Pink & Flirty Flamingo Inks; 3/4" Circle & Banner Triple Punches; Decorative Dots EF (retired); Flirty Flamingo Enamel Shapes; #FabFri133; #PP384. Such a fun sketch for the big 150 at TGIF! But, oh, that size, hmm... Well, the best I can do is adapt to a standard landscape size, lol. I need the room to finally take my Blossoming Basket out for a spin - I think they'll understand! I decided to go all Stampin' Blends on this one, so quick and easy! I have to admit, my new marker storage tower really keeps them right under my fingertips, too - you guys might be seeing more marker use out of me these days than you're used to, lol. I kept the color scheme fairly simple, then couldn't resist tossing in a little butterfly at the end! Sa-WEET! Blossoming Basket Stamp Set; Calypso Coral, Pear Pizzazz, Whisper White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight & Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends; Basket Weave DEF; Yellow Adhesive Sequins; #TGIF150. Oo, fun little corner business there on this week's In{k}spire Me #341 sketch! I really wanted to do something fun with this one today - how about some little birdies hanging out in a pretty forest? Just a few splashes of color here, but SO much fun to put together - I really like how this color combo came out, too! I have plans to send this to a dear friend for her birthday - she's the bird feeder queen!

Fun day ahead! First we have a super cute sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #359, AND I get to guest stamp over at Retro Rubber #82! Woo hoo! I get to go again on a tic-tac-toe challenge - woo hoo! I actually started with the grid today, and I zeroed in on "birthday" pretty quick - which way to go from there? I checked out my stamps first, and found my old Crazy for Cupcakes set from 2008. Yes, I have kept every cupcake set I've ever come across, lol. From there I went straight up and added "twine" and "pink" - yum! I used our TSOT sketch to place the elements I wanted to use, and ta-daa! Tasty time! Can't wait to see you over at our challenges - show us what you've got! Crazy for Cupcakes Stamp Set (retired-200); Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Pink Pirouette CS; Champagne Glimmer Paper; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Pink Pirouette & Smoky Slate Blends; Scattered Sequins DEF; Gold Sequins; Heavy Pink Baker's Twine (I think this is left from a Paper Pumpkin kit); #TSOT359; #RR82. Oh goodie! It's been a bit since I've had a tilty sketch to play with, and Freshly Made Sketch #327 sure fits the bill! I'm adding in Color Throwdown #483, too - Spring is coming! Soooo, I think I might have been a little hungry this morning, lol. You know how I get when the "any shape" flag is waved in front of me, and once I spotted Fortunate to Know You, I couldn't snap out of it! I've been pretty much drooling the whole time I was putting this together, thinking about all the fun birthday memories at Chinese and Sushi places we've been. Our favorite place, Hiro Sushi, has "party chopsticks" for special occasions - a jar of resin sticks in all kinds of colors that you get to pick from and keep. Seemed like a good time to paint me some Calypso Coral ones, lol...
