So Grateful

I love the center oval focus in this week's Case the Sketch #223!  I think adding in these colors from In{k}spire Me #302 will be beautiful!
Today's colors again made me think "botanical," but today I felt like aqua-painting, lol, so I went with our gorgeous Remarkable You set.  I waited a long time before I finally broke down and got this one - it always felt just a teensy bit pricey to me for the number of stamps!  I can't get over how truly beautiful the images are, though, and I'm glad I caved on it, lol.  These broad stroke line drawings are perfect for blending today's pretty colors!

We sure have a fun diagonal sketch this week from Match the Sketch #178!  And I think Global Design Project #89's colors will be a great addition, as well!
This time, I actually started with the colors - somewhere in the back of my mind, I remembered a DSP that had all these colors (and a few more of course, lol) - could I find it?  Why, yes!  Our old Pretty Petals DSP was one I loved for all the colors and patterns, and hardly EVER used - don't you hate that?  Well, at least I have a well-stocked stash, sigh.  From my paper choices I jumped out to a nice floral combo to go with, which just seemed natural with Olive and Calypso together.  I'm so happy with the result!

From the Cat

Oo, Retro Rubber #63 has a cool color challenge for us this week!  I think I'll try them on Freshly Made Sketch #289!
You know, one of my fave experiences with playing at Retro Rubber is that it gets me into the Room of Retirement for a browse, and a chance to look at my beloved retirees with new eyes, to see them in use again in fresh and current ways.  It really is a good feeling!  Today's lucky winner for a trip out was Here, Kitty Kitty, a sweet cat set from 2007, that I got for making things for my cat-crazy daughter.  Yay!  She was excited to see this cutie again, too!

SU Only #175's "mainly masculine" challenge sounds fun!  I can't wait to render it in these gorgeous colors from Sunday Stamps #153!  And last, I think I'll loop in "just the sketch" from the latest Fusion "Chalkboard" challenge - love that layout!
I've had the Country Living stamp set sitting on my desk for its ink christening for a few weeks now - and I was excited to realize that today would be the day!  I spent a crazy amount of time overthinking a sentiment (which alphabet would be best to spell "DUDE"??) and then finally realized that I had some manly words already in our still-kicking Guy Greetings.  Yes!  All I did was line up this "stacked" sentiment to spread it out length-wise a bit, which was super-easy with our photopolymer.  A few Marina Mist dots and we were done - I even finished that dot sheet on this card!

Mistletoe Kisses

Oh by gosh, by golly!  Merry Monday #249 is all about the mistletoe (not holly, lol!)  I'm going to try and render it in Try Stampin' on Tuesday #323's pretty sketch!  I think I'm going to try for these modern colors at Color Throwdown #444, too - just the bare essentials!
I had to take a little trip into the Room of Retirement for this one, sigh, but hah, my quest was successful!  I used the mistletoe image from Banners for Christmas a lot last year - it was one of my faves, and every time I use it, I think about going out mistletoe hunting in the woods with my grandad, who would use a BB gun to, ahem, "shoot" sprigs down for us to use in the house decorations.  Good times, lol.  Then in my search for a sentiment that fit the shape I needed, I rediscovered my Tin of Tags stamp set (which I liked SO much more than Oh What Fun, shhh) which had the most perfect saying ever for this card.  I feel like the Stampin' Gods are smiling upon me today!

Hooray for another Fab Friday - #113 that is!  So fun to work with our team to bring you inspiration, and then to see what YOU come up with!  My fave!
I've had a little regression today to my fave new color combo, lol, sorry about that.  I truly did envision making this gorgeous new birthday thinlit in our lovely Fresh Fig!  Once that happens, I just kind of slide right over to Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist - it's like a water-slide right over to British Baking colors or something, lol.  Yes, maybe I AM being influenced by a little binge watching these days, lol.  This is totally a mixed berry scone!  Can't wait to see your creations - bring it on!

Love the layered shapes at this week's Just Add Ink #360!  It will be the perfect starting point for Paper Players #345 clean and simple butterflies!
Even I can't never miss this gimme to use the beautiful Watercolor Wings set - so fun and elegant to use the versatile elements in this one!  Mix and match colors, markings and sizes for all our butterflies, and, of course, framelits and thinlits for even more options.  Yup, this is our butterfly staple set!  Love my colors this time - I made a special effort to stay off the Lime and Fig, lol!

Anniversary Celebration

We have such a celebratory layout from this weeks' Case This Sketch #222 - like fireworks!  I think this'll be a good place to sneak in Less Is More #329's geometric challenge.  And just for good measure, let's make it an anniversary card for As You See It #150's love and marriage theme!
Happy Celebrations has some great shapes in it, in graded sizes, and I went with the triangle as more "geo" than the circle, lol.  I'm sure I'll get over my new Lemon Lime Twist and Fresh Fig obsession, but you'll just have to ride it out for now, I'm afraid, lol.  I also picked a nice big "anni" combo from Banners For You, and had a great time straightening out the curves on the block - thank goodness for grid paper!

Check out this cool sketch from Paper Craft Crew #244 - so much movement!
So excited to try out some more new things today - especially ones that coordinate with tools I already have!  I know we certainly have quite a few balloons to choose form these days, but I definitely had room for one more, that had these happy dots all over them - so fun!  Happy Birthday Gorgeous has an awesome set of sentiments and flowers that go with, and is also bundled with a fabulous new large "happy birthday" thinlits that I knew I needed in my rep - even though I didn't use it today, lol.  Let's hear it for the dotty balloons!

Love this split panel sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #288!  I know I can do something fun for it in these summery colors at Color Throwdown #443, too!
I know it seems a little obvious (and I'm not even going to check and see what other folks are doing, lol) but I just couldn't wait any longer to play with my new Daisy Delight bundle!  Such a sweet stamp set, with cute phrases, and perfect accompanying image details - gorgeous!  AND, it has a punch for your daisy petals, so you can pile them on however much you want!  So much easier that our old die used to be - and I did my little daisy center with a 1/2" Circle Punch, too - we're all daisy punchy today!
