Jar of Sweets

Wow, loving these bright candy colors at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #315!  I'm so excited to combine them with this fun layered sketch from Paper Craft Crew #338!
These colors definitely sent me straight out to the soon-to-be-retired Sweetest Thing suite - can't beat that bright and cheery paper!  I tried to sneak a little bit of everything in there, and have a nice farewell party going here, I think, lol...  Surprisingly, I have used just about every scrap I have of this How Sweet It Is DSP - I wouldn't have thought I would, but yay for no leftovers!  Lol...

Piece of Wedding Cake

Oh hooray!  It feels like it's been a bit since I got to play at tic-tac-toe, and how fun it will be to add that twist with Retro Rubber #111!
After a quick study, I think I'll go with the center horizontal of "cake-flowers-one layer" - I have just the thing!  I'm so pleased that Piece of Cake is one of our carrying over sets - and this pretty wedding cake assembly isn't one I've gotten to use too much yet, so even better!  I kept it bare bones for a clean and simple one layer, and since I was so sparing, I feel like my three shiny sequins are not too over the top, lol.  Quick and pretty - the best of all cards!

Eek!  So excited, I just got a hot tip about ANOTHER monthly Christmas challenge (thanks, Fiona!) - Sparkles Christmas Challenge #100!  This month is all about holly!
I went hunting for something likely in the holly department, and I had a few choices, but then I spotted my beloved So Santa - especially the baking Santa here - brilliant!  Something fun (and holly!) for Christmas!  I had a great time coloring in all his details with my Blends, and then I even found my old Holly Textured EF - so much holly madness, lol...  Sigh, so fun, I love a good Christmas challenge!

It's your last chance to join us in May at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #410!  Come give it a go!  I'm also sneaking in TGIF #213's Gingham challenge - love this paper!
I decided to give the lovely big blossom in Beautiful Day one more spin before the new catty opens - I love coloring this beauty and then cutting it out!  I floated it over a panel of my fave color from Gingham Gala - the Lemon Lime Twist - and matched it up with some shades of Mango.  Yummy!
I hope you can join us this week - see you over at the challenge!

You Have What It Takes

OK, Fusion's "Hedgehog Scooter" combo is adorable!  I don't know WHAT way to go with this one, lol.
So, the very sad truth is that I have NO hedgehogs - how can that be??  Hopefully I'll get a chance to rectify that soon, lol.  So that leaves me the awesome sketch, and it looked to me like a perfect chance to show off some of our upcoming gorgeous DSP - from the Woven Threads pack.  So pretty!  It shows some new In Colors, too - can't get any better!  I paired it up with this encouraging sentiment from the String & Beautiful set - can't believe I almost let this one get away, lol.  I stamped in the new Pretty Peacock, and added some Peacock accents as well - check out the new In Color Faceted Dots!  So excited that we have so many choices for our In Color embellishments this year!

Shrinky Shades

LOVE this bright color challenge from Inspire Create Challenge #043 - so cheery!  How fun will it be to combine it with Back To Basics #28's shrinky-dink challenge?  I gotta do that!!
So, knowing how much shrinky-dink actually shrinks, I had to figure out something fun that might actually still show some color after cooking.  I decided doing some fun shades in the challenge colors might work, and so I went to town - luckily I have Blends in all these colors!  After I was all shrinkied, I wasn't sure if teh results weren't too dark - maybe I should have stamped this in gray instead of black Staz-On...  Anyway, I decided to float each pair of glasses over a fun heart punched in the challenge colors too, in case it was too hard to see.  An interesting little exercise - I might need to get more shrinky practice in, lol...

Believe You Can

Can you hear that?  SU Only #223 is having an "anything Spring" challenge this week, and I think I hear birds singing!
Another fun set I got to preview from the new catty, is this lovely hostess set, Believe You Can. I decided to get it because it also matches the dies the go with the Free As a Bird bundle - I love when new goodies can do double duty!  In this set, there's a couple options for the dies, AND you can swap out the sentiment in this image for several choices!  I figured Thank Yous are always good to have around, and had some fun coloring away with my Blends.  I took my colors from the Bird Ballad DSP, which these lovely stripes are from.  Spring has sprung!

One of my fave greens is Pear Pizzazz, so I'm really excited to see it in our color line up this week at Fab Friday #164!  I'll be pairing up with CAS on Friday #158's polka dot challenge, too!
When I started looking for likely dots, I came across Wood Words - this set is retiring, along with its Wood Crate dies - such a fun bundle!  I decided the simple circle with its sanded look would be just right, so I stamped and stamped off a few of each of our Fab colors.  I love dots so much, lol - they're so happy!  A simple sentiment, a few sequins, and we are DONE!  Yay!
So, what will YOU come up with?  I cant wait to see you over at the challenge!

OooOOOooo - check out this cool Agatha Christie cover for The Library Challenge #33 - Death on the Nile!
This cover was a stumper for me - I didn't seem to have any stamps that went with it, except for some Christmas camels, lol.  Then I remembered my retired Custom Tee set - there's a tuxedo shirt front in that!  Perfect!  I pieced together a snazzy top, and then pieced together a punny sentiment for it using my Labeler Alphabet set.  I love doing this - I'm so sad that this one is retiring!  It was so versatile - not a girlie font at all!  Anyway, there's no pistol stamp in my collection either, so we're leaving the spy games on the Nile, lol...

Free As A Bird

I love this CAS game at AAA #140 - use only up to one third of my card, and maybe sneak in some bright colors - fun!
Scouting for a stamp set that could be "up to one third" of my card front, I decided to go with one of my new preview sets and use Free As A Bird from the upcoming catty.  This row of birds on a branch seemed perfect to me!  So, not so much for the bright colors after all, but I tried to keep it fresh and summery - I actually started out coloring with Blends Markers for the branch, and then lost my nerve and switched to aqua-painters for the birds themselves, lol.  I really wanted a softer look there!  I kept it clean and simple, too, I think the one-third challenge really lends itself to that!
