Just Add Lettuce

I really like the combination of layers at this week's Just Add Ink #268!  Such a fun way to play with different textures and colors...
Thinking that, I gravitated towards the yummy Market Fresh set, and its gorgeous DSP, Farmer's Market.  I thought originally I was going to go all veggie on my papers, but then these two caught my eye, and would not be ignored!  I tried to keep it pretty simple, with clean little details, and I just love the look of all these colors together...  We eat so much romaine here, this is in my top 5 stamps in the new catty, lol...
Market Fresh & Someting to Say Stamp Sets; Farmer's Market DSP; Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Very Vanilla CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive & Crumb Cake Inks; PL Corner Rounder Punch; Circle Card Thinlets; Brights Button in Old Olive; Linen Thread.

Fresh Floral Wings

A fun and bold sketch at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #192!  What to do with it?  Trot out some more new goodies, that's what!
Today I decided to ink up the new hostess set Floral Wings.  This set is going to be SO versatile!  I think I might almost like the 2-step flowering vine I did for the envelope flap best, lol.  Anyway, it was fun making this bright and cheery butterfly, and picking out a pretty English Garden print for it to fly over!  Sweet and simple...
Floral Wings Stamp Set; English Garden DSP; Whisper White, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight CS; Old Olive, Daffodil Delight & Melon Mambo Inks; Spring Flowers Embossing Folder; Bold Butterfly Framelits; Banner Punch (for the sentiment); Neutrals Candy Dots in Whisper White.

Nacho Donut

Look at this simple sketch from Nacho Average Challenge #147!  Looks like a primo opportunity to show off some DSP!
And what yummier paper to show off than our new Cherry on Top stack?  I have been going back to this collection again and again - love the bright colors and tasty patterns, lol!  I had to add an extra pennant sentiment so I could get all the good words in - I didn't want any one to think I was implying that I had a problem with their donut consumption - of course I'm expressing sympathy for their birthday count!  Had fun deciding what punches to use in my oversize treat, too...
Sprinkles on Top & Endless Birthday Wishes Stamp Sets; Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Crushed Curry & Pool Party CS; Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; 1 1/4", 1" & 1/4" Circles, Itty Bitty Blossom & Banner Triple Punches; Crushed Curry Embossing Powder.

Merry Chapeaux!

Time for a funny challenge at this week's Merry Monday #164 - get funky and add a hat (or two, lol.)  What a challenge - I'll have to go digging!
OK, I'm compromising - I'll use one current and one retired set for today's card.  I love, love, LOVE the font in this year's Lots of Joy set, and every time I play with the retired Snow Buddies set, I grin and giggle continually.  I love these guys, lol.  I've done the other snowman on the inside of the card, and the whole time I was making it, I envisioned these guys wrestling over who got what hat today...  Hm, maybe that's why I forgot to give them arms...  Less bickering!
Lots of Joy & Snow Buddies (retired) Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Cucumber Crush CS; Old Olive, Real Red, Always Artichoke, Cherry Cobbler, Garden Green, Pear Pizzazz, Cucumber Crush, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks.

I'm so excited to showcase this year's new In Colors for our challenge this week at Fab Friday #67!  And I have a sketch from Sunday Stamps #104 to help me out!
For today's color challenge, I decided to try to use INK for all five of the colors - I usually try to spread that many colors over paper and embellies, too.  With so many colors, I wanted to keep the rest of the details of the card pretty neutral, lol.  I think I achieved that - nary a rhinestone in sight, right?  I like the splash of Watermelon Wonder on top, but I think this card could still go either way as a guy card OR a girl card.  I'm really intrigued by this stamp set - the "carved away" words are challenging me!
Silhouettes & Script Stamp Set; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Tip Top Taupe, Cucumber Crush & Watermelon Wonder Inks; Elegant Dots Embossing Folder; Linen Thread.

Time for another cool sketch from this week's Can You Case It #75!  How many new toys can I fit in this time?
Quite a few, it turns out, lol.  The gorgeous new Watercolor Wings has been staring at me from my desk for a couple weeks now, and I decided today was the day!  It was a cinch to pair with the new English Garden DSP - this print is actually the one that most caught my eye in the catty, too.  I turned some things sideways in my new toy zeal, but I'm loving how all these little elements came together.  Yummy!

Celebrate the Pumpkin

Once again, I can't believe this month has flown by!  Time for one last round of My Pumpkin Challenge #0615 - Birthday Bash, at least!
For my final Birthday Bash card, I decided I wanted to return to our current kit.  So many beautiful bold colors!  And I haven't played with the gift bag yet - what?!  How about I chop one up, lol...  I decided to try and do something with that fun balloon cut-out, but mounted on a card.  I think I pulled it off!  I even snuck in some of the pretty cord that we have for bag handles - I was worried it would be too heavy for a card front, but strategic placement of glue dots let me use a scrap without bulky up my layers - yay!
So, how's YOUR bashing going?  Can't wait to see!
Birthday Bundle Paper Pumpkin; plus, Whisper White CS; Cherry on Top DSP Stack; Calypso Coral Ink; Lucky Stars Embossing Folder; Banner Punch (for flagging the sentiment, since I used up all the banners from the kit already, lol.)

I'm really liking this fun sketch at Retro Sketch #169 - they're so good at getting me to move my "focus points," you know?
I went today with our fun new set Friendly Wishes - such pretty sentiments!  I also browsed through our new Pretty Petals DSP pack, so many patterns and color to love!  I kept my interpretation of the sketch pretty simple - I think Mint Macaron might be my favorite new In Color...
Friendly Wishes Stamp Set; Pretty Petals DSP; Mint Macaron, Basic Black & Very Vanilla CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Calypso Coral Marker; Pretty Print Embossing Folder; Venetian Crochet Trim; Blossom Accent Embellishment in Mint Macaron.

Oh ho ho - check out this week's challenge at TGIF #8!  Together Forever!  Nice!  I think that theme will go great with this week's In{k}spire Me #203's subtle color challenge!
i ended up having to dig through the "Room of Retirement" for this one, lol.  I just knew I wanted to pull out this old image from the retired Take It To Heart set, especially after all the set hints at TGIFC, giggle.  I haven't gotten too many of the weddings sets lately.  I have high hopes to soon - both my niece and my nephew have weddings planned for next year, and I hope to do up some goodies for them with whatever happens to be current then!  Don't want to jump to soon, know what I mean?  Anyway, my eye caught another retired set for the "Bride & Groom," and I've always loved this sentiment from John 15, too.  A real mish-mash, huh?  Hope I brought some harmony!
ODB Scripture Collection 6, Take It To Heart (retired) & Sweet Essentials (retired) Stamp Sets; Smoky Slate, Hello Honey, Whisper White & Blushing Bride CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Smoky Slate & Hello Honey Inks; Hearts Collection Framelits (retired); 1/4" Cotton Ribbon in Blushing Bride.

SU-per Husband!

Yay!  Thanks to SU-per Challenge #94, I get to sneak in one last Father's Day card, whew!  I needed it!  I also think the color challenge at this week's Create With Connie & Mary #360 is perfectly manly, so I'm throwing that in, too, lol...
I tried, but I couldn't stay away from my manly fave, Guy Greetings.  All the sentiments in this one are so perfect for the men in my family!  I decided to make this one for hubby, who's becoming quite skilled at managing my hare-brained ideas, while still allowing for my, how shall we say, freedom of expression?  Good job, baby!  You should have been a tap dancer!  Oh wait, does this mean I should have done the shoe stamps?  Argh!
Guy Greetings Stamp Set; Island Indigo, Smoky Slate & Whisper White CS; Versamark, Chocolate Chip, Island Indigo & Smoky Slate Inks; Circle Card Thinlets; Corner Rounder Punch; Regals Candy Dots in Island Indigo.
