Do you like our FABulous sketch at this week's Fab Friday #137?? I sure do, and it'll be fun to use it for the "speedy grays" challenge over at As You See It #175, too! So, I knew pretty quickly what set I wanted to use to fill in the "band" shape on our sketch - In The City is so fun! I pulled out my "stuff" and started the clock. I quickly realized I had more shades of gray in my older Blendabilities 3-shade set of Smoky Slate, so I started to sweat about hand-coloring instead of two-step stamping, lol. Then I really started stressing when I realized how much cooler the card would look if I flipped the sketch upside down and fussy-cut my skyline - what a nail biter! I quick colored up a few pearls and threw those on too, and finished my timer at 8 minutes 35 seconds. Blazing in gray! See you over at the challenge - can't wait to see YOUR creations! (No rushing there, lol...)

Love love LOVE the colors at this week's TGIF #158! One of my fave combos! I'll give it a go with this fun dotty sketch over at Less Is More #370, too! I decided to go with my super fun Swirly Bird set for all these circles - love this set so much, I'm a total dot freak, and the swirls in here just give than that extra oomph, lol. I tried hard to stay simple and sparing, and I didn't use any elements I didn't see on a couple DT cards - I have a hard time restraining myself for the clean and simple mantra at LIM, lol. Hopefully I made it this time with TGIF's party colors!

Love the simple elegance of this layout from Case This Sketch #270! I think it'll be great for In{k}spire Me #349's Mothers' or Fathers' Day challenge! I decided to take on Father's Day for this one, and I wanted to try something punny that's been brewing in my mind for a bit, lol. One of my fave sheets in the gorgeous Tutt-Frutti DSP pack is the rich and yummy papaya sheet - YUM! And hey, "papaya" has "papa" in it, hmmm. Thus this card was born. Sorry, blame it on Dad Jokes! Happy Father's Day, baby!

Check out our fun sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #365! I sure hope you can join us! For my own card this week, I decided to browse our retiring sets and see who needed some farewell inking. Sweet Cupcake was an easy choice for that central circle, and I was able to find color inspiration in our Picture Perfect Birthday DSP. Who wouldn't love to have a gorgeous cupcake with this beautiful Berry Burst frosting?? Yum! And of course we have another farewell chance at Chocolate Chip, as well - I have loved that tasty color for so long, it's hard to believe it's retiring soon! I'm so happy with how this card turned out - bright and delicious, just perfect! See you at the challenge!

There's a cool "cameo" sketch over at Freshly Made Sketch #335 this week! I'm going for it with Color Throwdown #491 to help me along! I decided to give one of my SAB sets some love today - I didn't use Lots of Lavender nearly enough, really. And even though this is SUPPOSED to be lavender, I didn't think this set looked much like lavender, so I took major liberties with the color, lol. I wanted to keep this card quick and simple, and the two-step nature of it makes that a cinch! I also decided to flip my layering colors from how I would normally do them, but I don't think I like it that much, lol. I think the Old Olive would have looked better behind the woodgrain, and the Calypso Coral for the scalloped oval, but hey, it's good to try new things, right??

We have a gorgeous sketch to play with this week at Sunday Stamps #178! I hope you can join us! I'm adding in this "farmhouse chic" theme from Stamp Ink Paper #148! When I looked over the inspiration pic, I somehow thought "jars" rather than "buckets," lol. I think I'm channeling seeing all the canning jars lining the cellar stairwell when I was a kid. My best friend's mom, Mrs. Murphy, was a big canner, and if we polished off a veggie jar, we got to also grab a fruit or pickle jar. Yum! She made great jam and jelly, too - always tasty in a big bowl of grits, lol. Wish I could still eat like that!

What a fun sketch from Match the Sketch #227 this week! Nifty little details - that I think will totally leave room for adding an "O" for Just Add Ink #407's challenge! I started with coming up with my "O." Ovals could be good, or "Oo, baby," lol. Instead, I saw my Lemon Zest set and thought hey, let's make an orange! This is my last full citrus sheet from my Tutti Frutti DSP pack, so I wanted it to be worthy of it, too, lol. To get my two-tone orange, I inked up in Tangerine Tango and stamped off on my grid paper, then went over the "rind" with a marker to darken it. I added the sentiment with my SAMJ, and masked off "it" from the "Live it with zest" phrase. Perfect! So much fun with this card...

Merry Monday #288 has a fun "no stamping" challenge for us this week - argh! My strategy for this one was to browse through all my dies, and see what leapt out at me, lol. The stockings won! I figured I could really play with all the different patterns we have, and bring on the color! I also threw in my all time fave holiday thinlits Expressions - one of our earliest sentiment thinlit sets, and still a goodie! Since I'm featuring stockings, I decided to also pull out the Cable Knit DEF for a little texture. It's all kind of topsy-turvy, but I love how it all came together in the end - even with no stamps!

Fusion Card Challenge has a doozy for us this week - a pink phone! I'm pretty sure I don't have any phone stamps, lol! Good thing they provide a sketch to fall back on, too, lol. So, yup, I was right - I can't spot a telephone stamp anywhere, lol - that's a curious lack! Since I can't play with the image, I decided to go totally rogue and just make a happy and bright birthday card - I figure this one could be good for boy OR girl! I can never get enough of these balloons, and I SO love that they have a punch for quick and easy cutting - we're really piling on the framelits lately, lol. I was also pleased to be able to use another Tutti-Frutti card base - I'll get through this last pack sooner or later!

Today's pretty sketch comes to us from In{k}spire Me #348! I feel a Lemon Lime Twist moment coming over me... That little square at the bottom of the sketch seems just right for a wire fruit basket, don't you think? And some lovely Lemon Lime pears would be just right, too! So that's just what I did. I stamped my base basket with a few pears inside, and then stamped some extras that I punched out with their adorable Itty Bitty Pear Punch, lol. I tried to tone down the background colors a bit so I could show off those pears, but I just love the bright cheeriness of this whole suite! I'm going to miss my little frutties!
