I'm so excited about our sketch at this week's Fab Friday #89! Let's make it shine with the patriotic colors over at Can You Case It #123! So, my sister in law's birthday is on July 4, which always gives me some fun Independence Day possibilities, lol. Today I decided to transform our wonderful Celebrate Today, mostly because you all know I can't stand to stick to suggested shapes on sketches, lol. Still, I'm SO pleased with how this came out, and I can't wait to mail it off! See you over at Fab Friday!

I'm really liking As You See It #136's "Dad" theme! AND, I have an idea for combining it with this bright color scheme from TGIF #58! I have to admit, as soon as I put these two challenges together, ALL I could think about was these crazy tropical print Jams my Dad had at the beach one year - his were bright orange (his favorite color, lol) with black tropical flowers on them, but I think this pair does those justice, lol. They were THE cool swim trunks to have when I was a kid, and we had all pooled our money to get them for him, not really believing he would wear them. Well, you know dads - we saw those Jams for years to come! Coolest Dad ever!

Today I'm also combining with this nifty sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #409! I have to say, I've taken a very literal view of the sketch, and kept the details sparse in keeping with the "guy" theme. A simple embossed card base, some bright (but sparing!) pops of color, and I think that's all this card needs! LOVING these little epoxy embellies from the kit - I'm going to be so sad when I use them all... Make sure to head on over to the challenge and share YOUR pumpkin dudes, too - can't wait to see!

I want to try this with the lovely fruity inspiration pic from Just Add Ink #314! After poking around a little, I decided that this might be a good chance to pull out the "extra" shapes that come in Balloon Celebration - the little dots and wheels could totally be citrus-y, right? Some dots and spatters later, I think I have a nice fruit-punch kind of card going here, lol. I think it might be time for the pool!

I love when we get to play with tilty elements, like this week's Freshly Made Sketch #239! I'm adding in this cool color combo from Pals Paper Arts #303, too! OK, I totally have to ink up another new set today - and I was SO excited about this one! I tell you, Jars of Love and Foxy Friends are neck in neck for how smitten I am! I started off fairly easy today on the jar, because there are SO many options for dressing it up, it's almost overwhelming! We could do a whole class on just this set, lol. I settled for a bit of string and a simple stem, but then I couldn't resist my new ribbon, sigh... No one's complaining, though, right?

I'm really liking the possibilities of this week's sketch from Watercooler Wednesday #70! And look at that, I have a box from my Mother Ship arrived, just today, lol... That's right, Foxy Friends wins the "First Inked" contest in my craft room, lol. I just could not wait to get my hands on this little gang of critters - the only challenge will be picking out sentiments to go with! For today, I tried a blend of old and new, and went with this one from Friendly Wishes - love it!

Can't seem to stay out of my Affectionately Yours DSP, lol. I thought I'd try this flowery field behind a big bold sentiment - which would let me fussy cut the little banner, YES! Oddly, my Watermelon Wonder sequin trim left over from some kit or other almost disappear on the DSP, though. It's much more sparkly in person!

So, I happen to have a dearth of current DSP just now, with the catalog rollover, so I thought I'd go check out my pre-order pack of Affectionately Yours for something to play with - score! While some of the color combos are pretty busy, there's also this Watermelon Wonder sheet that's just perfect! A bright sentiment and a few flowers later, and this simple card makes my heart sing!

Since this sweet set is moving into the Room of Retirement this week {SOB}, I decided to really add some glad rags - who wouldn't want a Bermuda Bay typewriter with Calypso Coral keys?? I think it's a must-have have for all aspiring tropical authors, lol...
