I totally love Cathy's extra idea for our challenge at this month's My Pumpkin Challenge #0614 - Birthday Bash - to bash our Pumpkin stash! I have Pumpkin Guts all over, too, so here goes! I think I have an idea for sneaking in the TGIF Challenge #6 to use watercolor, too, shhh... I have a shocking amount of leftovers from the All Shook Up kit, especially when you consider how stinkin' cute that one was! I sort of feel like I took a cheater approach here, too - all I did was bring in a sheet of watercolor paper, so I could do a multi-color wash background under my adhesive sentiment. Still, I think it's striking! I added a few sequin details from the original kit, and also pulled in some pink ones from the Seriously Amazing kiit. It was horrifying to also realize that two of these colors are retired, now - wah! All Shook Up & Seriously Amazing Paper Pumpkin Kits; plus, Bermuda Bay, Strawberry Slush (retired) & Pistachio Pudding (retired) Inks; Watercolor Paper; PL Corner Rounder Punch. Independence Day Decor Class! I think it's time to make a new outfit for our Hello Life Project Kit! I know we loved our St. Patrick's Day gown - let's do one for July 4, too! Class is announced for Thursday, June 11, 630 PM, or Saturday, June 13 at 3 PM. Class will include all supplies, a little treat from me, and snacks and drinks. If you already have a Hello Life Project kit, class is $20, and will build on what we've started with. If you need a kit to get started with, I have several on hand, and class is $25. RSVP today, so I can make sure to be ready for you!

Yay - SU-per Challenge #92 is here to help me stretch my rep to cards in different sizes! I so need help with that! I'm combining with Create With Connie & Mary #358's color challenge, too - so subtle and pretty! I think I should make this the year of the Envelope Punch Board! Because using it made it so "SU-per" easy to make an off-size card base, it's a little embarrassing that I've resisted for so long! After looking over what DSP I had in the challenge colors, I chose a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" card base, so that I only needed an 8 1/4" square for my envelope. So stinking clever! I'm always so proud of myself every time I use it, I should get it out every day, lol, so good for my ego... After that, I decided on a pretty little baby card, and things took off from there - it's ducky time! Something for Baby, Work of Art & Crazy about You Stamp Sets; Lullaby DSP (retired, for envelope); So Saffron, Lost Lagoon, Hello Honey & Whisper White CS; So Saffron, Hello Honey & Lost Lagoon Inks; Baby's First Framelits; Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder; Banner & Itty Bitty Accent Blossom Punches; Subtles Brads in So Saffron (SO retired, lol).

Think I'll go for the balloons, but combine it with this week's In{k}spire Me #201 color challenge! So here's the truth: I was all OVER the place with this one, lol! I don't know what happened, I just started pulling out my framelits and going to town. It also doesn't help that I'm holding my breath while I wait for my new catty order to arrive, I guess! Anyway, it's been so long since I made a flip card, I was curious to see if our balloon fit on there, and then I had play with all the pieces, lol. Sorry about that!

I pored over the now-much-sparser stamp shelves for quite some time on this one, and then realized I could combine the awesome Celebrate Today with the totally yummy Cherry On Top DSP stack! Which, ahem, also happens to be the only current DSP I even have right this second, lol. But I think I would have used it anyways! I love how this came out!

I decided that today I wanted to play with my Sheltering Tree set. I LOVE this stamp set so much! It reminds me a little of my very first stamp set with Stampin' Up, A Tree For All Seasons. I had so much fun with that set, and as soon as I saw Sheltering Tree, I knew I had to have it! I want to spend some SERIOUS time with this one, and make sure I hit ALL the seasons! I so enjoyed making this winter scene - I tried not to go too crazy with extra "stuff," as I sometimes do, lol... Sheltering Tree Stamp Set; Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Whisper White & Silver Foil Specialty CS; Pool Party, Lost Lagoon, Chocolate Chip & Versamark Inks; Silver Embossing Powder; Wonderful Wreath Framelits; Dazzling Diamonds Glitter; Silver Sequins.

And by play, of course, I mean, "Let's throw that square out the window." Lol. I'm such a rebel - in my own mind at least! Anyway, it seemed like a fun time to play some more with the Sprinkles of Life stamp set - so many options with this one, I can tell this one will be a stand-by forever!

Think I'll toss in the colors at this week's Nacho Average Challenge #144, too! I think the finished card ended up being very different than my usual style - whatever that is! I was really flying by the seat of my pants here, and just sort of made some stuff and played with it like a puzzle. I was worried the colors would clash or look to Christmas-y, so I ended up leaning on the Old Olive and Tempting Turquoise with only touches of Real Red. All in all, though, I like this whimsical look!

Today I think I'll try to match up with In{k}spire Me #200's awesome "sigma" inspiration - happy 200th birthday to them! This wound up being a pretty straight-forward interpretation of the sketch, using elements directly out of the kit! I always like to play up the full range of the colors the kits highlight, too. I SO can't wait to get my "Updated Essentials" piercing pack - hopefully I'll have circle templates that match the framelits now! I hope you'll join our Bash this month - let's see what you got going on! Paper Pumpkin - Birthday Bundle; plus, Daffodil Delight, Island Indigo & Whisper White CS; Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral & Daffodil Inks; Circles Collection Framelits; PL Corner Rounder Punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones. This is a cute little sketch from this week's Just Add Ink #264! I think it'll match up lovely with SU-per Challenge #91's gorgeous colors! I had to go back and revisit Perfect Blend today - I'm going to miss this set so much! Adding touches of my fave Blackberry Bliss was fun, too - I settled on this combo of colors on the cup, finally, lol. Little purple coffee cups all over my office? Why, yes! I also noticed that I seemed to have some washi tapes sitting around in the correct colors, too - I have such a hard time remembering to use it, I decided to go for broke with it today! Perfect Blend Stamp Set; Sahara Sand, Blackberry Bliss, Whisper White & Soft Sky CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Chevron Embossing Folder; Designer Label, 1 3/8" Circle & Itty Bitty Accent Blossom Punches; Subtles Candy Dots in Soft Sky. Aww, what a sweet sketch this week's Freshly Made Sketch #188 - looks just like a spring window! Of course, I'm not making a window, lol. When I started browsing for shapes, I couldn't stop coming back to Balloon Bash, and I also wanted to use my yummy new paper stack, Cherry On Top. So fresh and happy! Balloons were perfect! Time for a party! Balloon Bash Stamp Set; Cherry On Top DSP Stack; Whisper White & Bermuda Bay CS; Cucumber Crush, Watermelon Wonder & Crushed Curry Inks. |
