Birthday Wash

I love the washed background of this week's sketch at TGIF #103!  I think I'll add in Global Design Project #83's sparkle or bling challenge, too - so pretty!
I ended up keeping this card pretty spot-on the sketch, BUT, I did allow myself some fun and dabbled a bit in some new In Colors!  Meet Tranquil Tide (the starry background) and Fresh Fig - one of my all-time favorite fruits!  I added in some Crushed Curry for my flame, and I really do think this is a keeper color combo for my newbies - newbie colors, that is, lol.  Isn't it funny how so often simplest is best?

Inspired by Spring

Wow, check out this unusual sketch from Case the Sketch #217!  I don't think I've seen one quite like this before!  I think, though, that it might be just the thing to go with the Less Is More #324 "Spring Walk" challenge - let's see!
So, since I've started playing at another sketch challenge that's all about featuring our more "seasoned" stamp sets, I've been venturing into the Room of Retirement a bit more than usual.  On one such excursion, I came across my old Inspired By Nature set - I hung onto it for the lovely grassy background I could make with it.  Seems to me it's just right for this sketch, too, and it had some flowers to use for my "Spring" element, too.  This reminds me of many a lovely spring walk I've had back East - it's mostly blooming cacti here, lol...

I like the shape combinations in these layers at Just Add Ink #355!  I'm combining with these pretty colors from In{k}spire Me #296!
Another recent arrival to my craft room is the lovely Best Birds bundle.    What a great combo!  I really like the selection of image shapes in this thinlit set, right down to the tiniest twig and bud, lol.  I had some fun with some creative colors for my little boy sparrow - isn't he handsome in plum?  A good day indeed...

OK, I have set myself a BIG challenge - to match up this sunny sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #317, and add in SUO #172's Sympathy & Caring Challenge.  What am I thinking??
This was a tough one for me, but luckily, a new box arrived from my Mother Ship, and I finally got to play with Weather Together.  That's been on my wish list for so long!  I had some fun playing with framelits, too, but I ultimately switched to this sweet sentiment from our retiring Sending Thoughts set.  I love when our sayings come in pairs so I can put a little something on the inside, too.  In the end, I'm so happy with how this came out, and I'll be glad to have it ready to send off when needed...

We have a super sweet sketch from Global Design Project #82 this week!  I think I'll add in this week's Retro Rubber #60, too - I have a little idea, lol...  And the colors at Color Throwdown #438 will be just right, as well!
So, my philosophy is, NEVER waste an opportunity to break out Best of Cluck!  Oh, BOC, how do I love thee?  Let me count the ways, lol, starting with this little mass of grateful chickies!  This set I think first came out in 2005, which is a bit before my own SU! time - I actually picked this set up off eBay (gasp) when I first started playing with stamps in general.  I love the sentiments, the birds, the fonts, the color-ability - it's just PERFECT!  Or should I say, EGG-citing?

Ahhh, Sunday Stamps #150 knows me so well - I LOVE banners!  I think I'll combine with Merry Monday #243's challenge to create a Christmas scene, too!  And lastly, I think I can tuck in Paper Craft Crew #239's metallics challenge, too - yay!
I was psyched to pull out my beloved White Christmas stamp set for this challenge trio - although Alpine Christmas almost won, lol.  I just felt like my pretty birch trees, I guess!  I kept my touches of color pretty sparse, except for the holiday car, of course, which made it a great candidate for a nice solo cameo over my banner!  So many of my favorite things here - I still miss you, WC!

Check out our beautiful colors this week at Fab Friday #110!  I'm using them for this sketch from Sketch Saturday #458, just for fun!
So, I have to say right up front - our colors this week were a stumper for me!  I hemmed and hawed for a few days, lol, and then tried to clear my mind with some Food Network binge watching - doesn't everyone do that?  Anyway, I was watching a desperate episode of Chopped, when THEY are really stumped, and "deconstruct" every dish known to man.  (Come on, broken pieces of pasta with a tomato slice and weird cheese is "deconstructed lasagna?"  REALLY??)   And then I thought, hey, I could do that in ink, I bet!  So here you have it, a deconstructed color challenge, for the inspiration impaired.  Yum!

I love the look of this sketch from this week's As You See It #147 - so elegant!  I'm combining with my fave colors that happen to be featured over at Paper Players #339, lol!
OK, I realize I'm late to the party today, but well, dang it, I waited so long to place one last Sale-A-Bration order I finally just caved and ordered the Make a Medallion set.  I was fascinated by the possibilities as soon as I saw it, the timing was just outside the rhythm of my usual ordering schedule, lol.  C'est la vie!  It gets to play today, and since we're all Cinderella here, I'm trotting out all kinds of retired goodies to the party.  Still, this just goes to show that one of my all-time fave color combos looks good in ANY age!

I know just what set I want to play with for Case This Sketch #216!  I'm also adding in Less Is More #323's one-layer curve challenge - I think I can slip this in while keeping it clean, too!
I can't help but feel this card is a bit too simplistic, though I think I meet both challenges.  But well, it's PURPLE, so who cares??  Lol.  This was my first try with the Happy Celebrations bundle, and I so wanted to use it - there was even this giant swoosh which I curved on the block for LIM.  I think these bold splashes of color are growing on me!  (Pay no attention to those cute little candy dots...)

Love all these tiled layers at this week's Match the Sketch #171!  I'm adding in Just Add Ink #354's teacup inspiration, too - we know what that means!  Yay!
It means I'm bringing in A Nice Cuppa for a retirement vacation!  Woo hoo!  So much fun to play with this set again - I missed it so much!  One of my fave pairings for Cuppa is our still current Balloon Celebration, too - so many of its sentiments were pretty much made for Cuppa, I've always felt, lol.  Ahh, good times.  Gotta go turn the kettle on now!
