SU Only #177 has a great "patriotic colors" challenge for us this week - fun!
I don't tackle color challenges too often without a sketch, so I stewed over this one for a bit, I have to admit,  Then I realized, my sister-in-law has a July 4 birthday - I can go with that!  They always have a big barbeque party for it, so I'll just bring the balloons, shall I?  I added a few sparkles, too - because she's VERY sparkly, lol.  I can't wait to send this!

Soft Summer

Love this blocky sketch from Retro Rubber #65 - lots of scope, lol...
For today's blast from the past, I pulled out my beloved Soft Summer set, all the way from our 2009 Spring Mini catty.  When this set came out, I was instantly smitten - growing up in Virginia and West Virginia, we always had dogwood trees in our yard so gorgeous, and so iconic - I had to have them!  I never see these beauties here in Arizona - just too hot to thrive, though I hope to one day try to cultivate a little one in a big pot that I can protect with careful watching...  These sweet blossoms also got a touch of my carefully hoarded Blush Blossom ink - made for each other!

Such a pretty and buttoned-up sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #327 this week!
As I studied this sketch, I suddenly realized that I could trot out the only remaining image that I HAVEN'T used yet from the saucy Crafting Forever set - bring on the paintbrushes!  I love this set for the coloring possibilities, and the perfect little sayings that go with every image.  I tried to keep things in the Brights family color-wise, to satisfy an optional color challenge that's part of the sketch challenge - I think this might be the first time I've included that, lol.  Anyway, I hoarded this bright sheet of dots from our old Painted Blooms DSP just for the stamp set, I think - so perfect!  I had to move my candy dots up onto the white areas so they would show!

On Your Wedding Day

Super cute sketch at this week's Paper Craft Crew #249!  I think I can live up to it!
How about with a little Best Birds action?  I had a great time today with coloring, and then with trying out all the little detailed thinlits that go with this set - I tried the little blossoms and berries today - they make a pretty touch, and I can do as much or as little as I like!  Today I focused on the "congrats" sentiment, and stamped "on your wedding day" inside - my wedding card stash is getting a little thin, lol, with all the usual June happenings around here...

Warning - curves ahead at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #293!
A little thought helped me realize this sketch is my chance to finally debut another new set - Coffee Cafe!  Ta daaa!  Lol.  As soon as I saw the preview of this set, I coveted the heck out of it - this was the very first suite I ordered out of the fully-released catty!  It has everything - adorable stamps, robust framelits, DSP, ribbon, embellies, and well, CAFFEINE, lol.  Just kidding.  Anyway, I dipped my toe in the coffee today - drink with caution!

Berry Burst Tulips

Check out these bright colors from Stamp Ink Paper #104 - can't wait to dive in!
OK, I'm thinking these colors might be just the ticket for me to FINALLY get to play with the new hostess set Tranquil Tulips - it's been burning a hole on my desk for a week and half waiting on me!  I decided to give myself a nice open field to just play with many the stems, leaves and flowers, to start to get a feel for how all the elements fit together.  I finished with a sweet phrase from Banners For You - that one is starting to be my go-to sentiment set these days - how did that happen?  Anyway - LOVE these tulips!  I need to start some bulbs here, maybe over the winter!

Totally adorable theme going at this week's Merry Monday #253 - Bears!
While I do actually have a current option or two to bring on the bears, I decided to pull out my beloved Bear Hugs bundle and have some fun!  How about a little woodland scene, with coordinating bows, of bears off to a Christmas party?  Done!  A few trusty trees, some sparkly snow, and a rustic beary wish round out the picture, and it's Christmas in Bear Country, lol...

So excited that it's Fab Friday #115 day!  Make sure you check out our awesome sketch!  Today I'm pairing it with these tasty fruity colors from Sunday Stamps #155!
When I saw these colors, I thought right away of our sophisticated Colorful Seasons set - SO many options and images!  Today I wanted to focus on the branches and blossoms, to go along with our fabulous horizontal sketch - so here it is with PLENTY of blossoms, lol.  I also tried out one of our new embossing folders, too - this one is called Ruffled.  Such a cool effect - these dynamic folders blow me away!
Can't wait to see you over at the challenge - let your fab out!

As You See It #152 spins me right 'round, baby - and I'm a HUGE fan of roundabouts, though I could wish more of my fellow Americans knew how to do them, lol...  I'm also adding in this week's Less Is More #333 - personalize it - and I have just the idea!
So, one of my best buddies and tater tot partners is my wing-girl, Lisa!  We were able to have a tot fest after a bit of a dry spell just last week, and the whole day got turned into a belated birthday celebration for ME!  If you had any idea what-all this gal has been going through lately (UGH!) but that she still found time and energy to give a little love to me, you would have a tiny inkling how special that day was.  And well, how special it still is, since I got my fave Salt Lake City chocolate treats, too.  I'll be hoarding my Fernwood Chocolate Mint Sandwiches and my Chocolate-Covered Cinnamon Bears (if you haven't actually tried them, shut up about it, lol) on my desk for as long as possible!  Thank you, Lisa.  It's so good to have such dear friend!

Check out this fun sketch from Case This Sketch #226!  It has a peeper!  Which I figure makes it a shoe-in for the Feathered Friends challenge over at Paper Players #349, too!
Well, this is a primo opportunity for bringing out my beloved Best of Cluck once again, don't you think??  How about a little hoard of chicks, all giving you the chicky eyeball?  Done!  We're all about chicken in around here, lol...  I also had some fun using my Square Stitched Framelit to make a RECTANGLE!  Very cool...
