Retro Blend

OK, look at the adorable stack of images at this week's Retro Sketch #165 - it definitely puts me in mind of something, lol!  And of course, I'm totally going to try to sneak in this week's Can You Case It #70 - May Flowers!
So, we all knew there was no WAY I could let Perfect Blend get away without a little send-off, right?  If there's one set I will mourn this year on June 2, it's this one.  {SOB}  Today, we're making them into tea, by adding cup sleeves with flowers.  Don't you think that works?  I had to go back to my old Tea Shoppe set for the sentiment, but these are still some CLASSY to-go cups, if I do say so myself!  And a chance to use some Rose Red CS and Candy Dots?  Yes, please!
Perfect Blend & Tea Shoppe (retired) Stamp Sets; Painted Blooms DSP; Wild Wasabi, Daffodil Delight, Whisper White, Rose Red, Crumb Cake & Soft Sky CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Scallop Trim Border Punch (retired); Small & Large Oval Punches; Regals Candy Dots in Rose Red.

Yay - it's Pumpkin day again at My Pumpkin Challenge #0515 - Let's Hear It For the Bows!
Today I had a floral feeling, and I just wanted to play with the little bow diecuts - what could we do there?  I ended up assembling three together for this flower!  I gave it a nice big button center, and trotted out some of the other stamps from the kit for a few extra details.  Simple, quick and cheery - the best of all worlds!
I can't wait to see more of YOUR bow projects at the challenge - Let's Hear It For the Bows!

Perfect timing on this week's challenge at TGIF #3 - Graduation!  Let's try it with this week's striking color challenge at SU-per Challenge #89!
So at first I assumed I'd have to back to my retired shelves for something grad-like for this one.  But then I remembered the balloons!  And then I realized, actually, we have a few sets that could do the trick, but I stuck with the balloons, lol...  After yesterday (ahem) I tried to keep it pretty pared down - and I love it!  I think I hit just the right balance of extra touches and bling, that it could STILL go to a boy OR a girl - yay!

Just Add Everything You Have! (& Pumpkin Club May 30!)

Love the mix of elements at this week's Create With Connie & Mary #355!  I can't wait to add the color challenge at Just Add Ink #262 - my fave color combo ever!
So, in spite of having all that going for me, I had a bit of a breakdown on this one, I think.  My new Sprinkles of Life stamp set was working its siren wiles on me, and I started out nice and pared down.  Then I tried out going all askew on my little squares, because Bonnie Farley from our mother-ship said that catty-wompus is all the rage right now, and I wanted to see if I could be hip and trendy, lol.  So far, so good, maybe, but then there was all this white space, and I just PANICKED.  Sorry about that - usually I can keep that under wraps, but it got away from me today, lol.  So we have little leaves, and little flowers.  In two colors.  And little pearls.  And then the corner rounder.  Thankfully, Bug got home from school and intervened at this point.  Woops!  Over-Embellish-Itis strikes again!

Fresh Kiss

I'm loving the cool tilty action goin' on in this week's Freshly Made Sketch #186!  I think this week's bold and fresh color challenge from In{k}spire Me #198 is a perfect match, too!
This tropical color challenge was a doozy for me.  I wanted to try and control these bright colors a bit, while contrasting the two most obvious ones together - yikes!  It was a great chance to sneak in another new stamp set - I Think You're Great - which has two very cool background type stamps to use for "kissing" the word bubble sentiments.  Believe it or not, I've never tried this technique, and it took me a few times to get a final image I was happy with, lol.  Carrie Cudney was right - it really only works if you make the kiss-noise while you do it!

Stenciled Flurry

Oo, what a super challenge at this week's Merry Monday #158!  To use STENCILS!  And I already have an idea of how to combine it with this week's dramatic Nacho Average Challenge #141 - yay!
So, I had an idea burning in my brain all week to try for this one - that involved NO STAMPING!  Lol, I can count on one hand the number of times I've made cards like that, but, well, I don't think the stenciling qualifies, so there it is.  I'm not sure how well I executed my cunning plan, or maybe I'm just not that good at stenciling (natch!)  In any event, for first pass needed a little something more, so I went back and put on the darkest snowflakes - with a left-over diecut sheet from the Simply Snowflake Paper Pumpkin.  I had to make my "Merry" darker to go with, but I like better now.  And it was super quick!

Fab Flamingos

I sure hope you're playing along with our beautiful sketch this week at Fab Friday #64!  We want to see!
I decided that Flamingo Lingo needed one last turn around the park before flapping off into the sunset, sigh...  I just love these guys!  They remind me of when I first arrived in Las Vegas to work at the Aladdin project - our job site was right next to the Flamingo Hilton, and we could walk right into their back courtyard area to get lunch.  It had this huge waterfall feature with palms and big bright flowers, and of course, a flamboyance of flamingos!  They'd walk right over and sneak the bread off the table if you didn't keep en eye out, lol...  They also liked fish - go figure!
So, hope you're feeling fabulous and flamboyant - see you at Fab Friday!

Retro Medallions

Look at all the fun elements at this week's Retro Sketch #164!  I love dots - they're so happy!  I'm totally matching this with this week's beautiful color challenge at Sunday Stamps #101!
So, back to our regularly featured program, of highlighting retiring stamps!  I had fun with this one!  Today I rolled out the lovely Daydream Medallions - I can hardly believe this one is leaving us...  It's been perfect for me to make my own backgrounds and patterned paper, which I did a little piece of here today.  I decided the script of this cute sentiment from Sumthin' Sumthin' was a good match for the elegance of these medallions, too!
Daydream Medallions & Sumthin' Sumthin Stamp Sets; All Is Calm Specilaty DSP (retired); Soft Sky, Basic Black & Whisper White CS; Lost Lagoon, Soft Sky, Basic Gray & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Large Delicate Doilies Sizzlet (retired); Triple Banner Punch (IBC 15-16); 7/8" Basic Gray Satin & 3/8" Lost Lagoon Ribbons; Lost Lagoon Buttons; White Baker's Twine; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Sneak Peekin' with the Pumpkin

Back again at My Pumpkin Challenge #0515 - Let's Hear It For The Bows!  Yeah!
OK, so I think I've been a very good little demo lately.  I have been reminding you almost daily of all the retiring awesomeness that might get away from you if don't act fast, in a fun, gotta-have-it-now kind of way.  Don't you think?  No pressure or anything, even.
Well, folks, not today!  I have succumbed.  My sneak peek pre-order from our new 2015-16 catalog is IN THE HOUSE!!  So, you know, we have to trot that out.  Very quietly.  In just a tiny way.  Hee hee.  So I did another little pocket card showing off just a few things, like our new In Colors (so yummy!), a new DSP stack (now in 6" x 6"!); a stamp set (not EVEN the best sentiment in this set!) and finally, our new In Color Dotted Lace Trim (so soft!) 
I honestly think I haven't been this excited about a new catalog in a while - not that I'm not always excited, lol, but SO MUCH in this catty spoke to me - I know it will to you, too.
And the only other thing I can say is CHRISTMAS IS BACK!!!  Praise the Lord and pass the ink!
Love You A Lot Paper Pumpkin; plus, Friendly Wishes Stamp Set; Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Whisper White & Watermelon Wonder CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Tip Top Taupe, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon & Mint Macaron Inks; Dotted Lace Trim in Watermelon Wonder.

I'm so excited to see TGIF #2's first SKETCH!  Cool layers, fun shapes - it has it all!  This one really will help me stretch, and I love that!
It's also perfect for continuing my farewell tour of retiring stamp sets - today featuring From My Heart.  This sentiment pair has been my favorite out of the whole set, and I decided to add a little visual pun since the layers gave me some room to work with.  Get it??  That's right!  Stuck between a rock and a hard place!  Bwahahaha!  (Hubby tells me that I must report that he totally got it when I asked him.  Unfortunately, I just busted him trying to use my paper snips to poke a hole in a belt, so I'd say we're at a wash, here...)
From My Heart Stamp Set; Adventure Bound DSP Stack; Sahara Sand, Early Espresso, Island Indigo, Whisper White, Mossy Meadow & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Mossy Meadow & Island Indigo Inks; Labels Collection Framelits; Festive Piercing Template; Snowflake Card Thinlet; Neutrals Candy Dots in Basic Gray.
