Seaside Bike Ride

This inspiration pic is so fun over at The Card Concept #94, I just can't resist playing along!
So you totally know I had to pull out my sadly neglected Bike Ride bundle to pull this one off!  As I constructed all my little bicycle pieces, I was struck by how thorough this set is - a two-step stamp for EVERYTHING, lol, and a framelit to boot!  Like putting together a jigsaw puzzle, I swear!  I really wanted a bit of boldness in my layering, but tried to keep away from embellies - I'm leaning towards Clean & Graphic & Layered, hopefully, lol.  I do love layers!  Couldn't resist this bicycle breeze emboss either - blowing my hair back!
Bike Ride, Let the Good Times Roll & Sunshine Sayings (inside) Stamp Sets; Whisper hite, Basic Black, Pool Party & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Inks; Build a Bike Framelits; Seaside EF; TCC94.

Excellent!  I finally found this new challenge by stalking Paper Playful, a blog that posts daily lists of about a zillion challenge blogs.  Inspire Create Challenges #19 looks just my speed - wahoo!  So excited to have somewhere new to play!
Of course, my intro is a toughie, lol - a color challenge of our new In Colors?  Yikes!  Time to get to work.  I decided to look for one large image that had the scope for all 5 of these bright colors - and I found it in the adorable Hand-Delivered set - one of our new hostess beauties!  This pretty stack of books and stylish print skirt is going to my niece Cullen - yay, Cully!  I even hit her new school colors - look out, VCU!  I liked the look of the colors muted down a bit with the aqua-painter, rather than the markers - love that hand-colored look!  I can see that Pineapple Punch is going to grow on me after all, lol...

Woot, woot!  It's Fab Friday #139 time, and we have a SUCH a cute sketch for you!
So, sorry Mindy, but I took one look at that doily and was like, I CAN'T!  Really, I don't know why I still buy doilies, lol, 'cause I almost NEVER use them, and today is a great example of that, lol.  I decided to go all Manly Moments Paper Pumpkin, instead!  I'm a great one for hacking up my kits to make alternatives, and I had some fun re-purposing one of the cool kit envelopes today - why leave all that pretty paper on the INSIDE??  I did save the flap to tuck inside my plain white envelope - it even still has the adhesive in the right place - fun trick, lol.  I added some Burlap Ribbon, a Nature Elements, and some Mossy Meadow for good measure, and went with a birthday theme.  This is a really versatile sentiment set - you should check it out!  See you at the challenge!

Today I'm trying out a new-to me challenge over at Addicted to CAS #137, who would like to see something "sea" related.  I'm game!
So of course "sea" means I'm pulling out my High Tide set.  This one is so fun for piecing together variations on gorgeous sea-scapes, with OR without a light house, lol.  I decided to have one today, because what I really wanted to do was play with our new Balmy Blue color, and try it out against Night of Navy.  I could feel myself building up a grudge against this one - it reminded me too much of Marina Mist, which, ahem, I do NOT miss at all.  Turns out I won't have that problem with Balmy Blue, whew.  I did a combo of stamped and stamped off waves for this showcase, and it looks AWESOME.  I also like it a lot with the navy on the light house.  Sold!  Hopefully I have enough white space to qualify for CAS, lol - no embellies AGAIN today!!  What is HAPPENING  to me??

I happened by Less Is More #372 and noticed that they have a one-layer "thinking of you" challenge going - I'm going for it!  I need to get better at the whole process, lol.
So, it turned out this process went WAY easier than I thought it would, lol, once I realized that my fave "thinking of you" was part of the amazing Sheltering Tree set.  Now that's a set that makes one-layers a cinch!  All I needed to do was settle on my colors, and with my new faves Granny Apple Green and Mango Melody to help out, that didn't take long either, sigh.  I think this is what challenges me about one-layers - it's over too soon, lol.  Yay for me quitting while I was ahead, lol.

Wonderful Leaves

We have our third color challenge up for you this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday - isn't it bright and cheery??
I have become fixated on these new leaves in our gorgeous Rooted in Nature.  I decided today to try them in our color play at TSOT, and see how they looked all in one layer, which I actually don't do too often.  I'm so addicted to layering and dimension!  Anyway, this multi-color scatter reminds me of leaves floating on water - I can see it now!  We don't get too many falling leaves here in Arizona, so I have to make them myself! 
Can't wait to see YOUR color creativity - see you at the challenge!

LOVE the inspiration picture at this week's Fusion Coral Flowers as much as the sketch!  Wee!
Today is one of the rare times I've actually addressed BOTH sides of the Fusion, lol - I went for the sketch, of course, but I also pick up a bit of the inspiration pic, too!  I just thought that our gorgeous Painted Harvest flowers would translate really well into the pretty colors, and I went digging for a lovely sentiment to go with that fit the layout - one of my faves, and so, a keeper!  Days like today, I'm missing my Peach Parfait, sigh...

Check out our banner sketch this week at Sunday Stamps #180!  I had so much fun with this one!
You might be able to tell that I've been trying to revisit my retiring faves over the last week or two, and by the time this posts, this set will be officially gone.  I was SO sad (and I admit, pretty surprised) that this one didn't make the move to the new catty.  I mean, look at all the goodies in that suite - who had time to get through it all?  Anyway, this week I wanted a quirky card for a quirky friend, who is kicking off a new venture.  I got to thinking about this little knight, off to slay the dragons, and all I could think of was how much this suited, lol.  I even put together my own sentiment with the tiniest alphabet ever in our new Make a Difference set.  You would have died laughing to see me with little letters stuck all over my fingers, lol.  Now, go slay those dragons!  (And see you at the challenge!)

Ooo, looky!  Hand Stamped Sentiments #290 has my fave color combo going - green and purple forever!  For that, I can even take the Marina Mist, too, lol...
I quickly realized this was my chance to show off my retiring and much beloved Marquee Messages before it goes (which will be TODAY by the time this posts, lol.)  I decided to settle in and do all my coloring with an aquapainter for that watered look, and after I got through all that with hardly a hitch, it was just begging to be fussy cut, lol.  At that point, a little extra sparkle was in order, so I added some Silver Cording Trim (love this stuff!) and a few Rhinestones.  I finished with the rock star sentiment on the inside.  Super pleased with this one - I'm gonna miss my marquee!

Accented Blooms Shaker

I'm so excited to host this month's technique challenge at Try Stampin' on Tuesday!  I love me a good shaker card, and I'm glad to share the step by step details on how I made this one for you!
I put together a little printable tutorial for this card which you can find here, but I was SO thrilled to have some new goodies to play with for it, lol.  I had some fun with several new colors, too - I think Mango Melody is definitely my new fave.  The gorgeous new Accented Blooms coordinates with the Tailored Tag Punch, which you may already have if you got the Truly Tailored suite from the Spring catalog - I'm so happy we have another stamp set to use with it!  Using a punch really made the construction of the shaker go super quick, and I was able to sneak the sentiment INSIDE the shaker window - cool!
I can't wait to see YOUR shakers, and I mean that in the nicest way, lol.  Shake on over!
Accented Blooms Stamp Set (2018-19 AC); Whisper White & Granny Apple Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Gray Granite Inks; Granny Apple Green, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Flirty Flamingo, Calypso Coral, Pool Party & Highland Heather Markers; Dimensional Strips; Window Sheet; Tailored Tag Punch; Sprinkles Embellishments (retired); Share What You Love Artisan Pearls; #TSOTJune18Tech.
