This week's In{k}spire Me #156 looks positively PLANETARY!  I think the Heroes need in on this one...
So, this is where I ended up.  Help me out here, can you see the sketch in my card?  I feel like I maybe strayed a bit too far.  But, like, green alien landscapes were calling me!  (Complete with Blender Pen smog!)  Can't you see giving this card to your PTO president extraordinaire??  I sure can!  This one's for all you ladies who RULE!  Now, go dye your hair Blackberry Bliss!  I'll supply the Hello Honey mask, lol...

Look at this fun sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #145!  Just perfect to pair with Nacho Average Challenge #98's color spread!  Hm, makes me feel like a snack, for some reason...
A CUPCAKE snack, lol!  Had to break in this year's new cupcake set, Cupcake Party, sooner or later, and I don't think I'll get handed a better color challenge for it!  I had to do a few different things for me here, starting with my layers having to be slightly off center in order to accommodate the sentiment flags.  I liked how it looked, but then I felt like it had a bit of room for a little bling.  Hah!  This was my chance to try coloring pearls with my new Blenda pens!  (Yes, that's my new official abbreviation for "Blendabilities," let's all adopt it now!  You know you all say "Pop Dots" instead of "Dimensionals," too.  You're welcome!)  And don't those cherries look happy?

Merry Christmas Bliss

Hm, I don't work with sequins very much, so this week's Merry Monday #117 will be a challenge for me!  Do I even have any sequins?
Oh wait, I DO have sequins - I have that Gold Sequin Trim!  I'll pick it apart!  I decided the theme would go great with one of new my holiday sets - Christmas Bliss.  This set is packed full of awesome holiday sentiments - so I picked a sparkly one, lol.  I love that this set is photopolymer - once again, a snap to place my images, without having to use my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig!  Yay!  The other half of this phrase is on the inside - "May the sparkle of the stars and all the peace on earth be yours this Christmas."
Christmas Bliss Stamp Set; Old Olive, Real Red & Whisper White CS; Encore Gold, Old Olive & Real Red Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Stars Framelits; Gold Sequin Trim.

Clean Boutique Borders

One of the many things fascinating me in this year's catty are the new borders photopolymer sets - they all have something fun about them!  Clean & Simple #298 is the perfect sketch to play with them!
As soon as I saw this one, I knew I'd be trotting out Boutique Borders - the only question in my mind was what my color scheme would be.  Since it's kind of hazy and muggy out while our monsoon drags on, I decided to lighten things up - something bright and refreshing!  These colors together remind me of a sherbert sundae with sprinkles - yum!
Since Boutique Borders is photopolymer, how fun would it be to curve the stamp around into shapes on the block?  Have to try that next...

Aww, look at all the cute little flags on this week's Retro Sketch #123!  That makes this a great time to break in a new DSP!
I decided also that I was having blackberry withdrawal - it's been at least a week, right?  So bring on those berries!
Today's stamp set is a new one to me - Blessed by God.  There's a more solid looking cross, and this pretty floral one, too.  I made it look even fancier by coloring the white embossing with my Blendabilities Markers!  I've tried this in the past without much success - our regular markers are of course water-based, but the alcohol base of the Blendas makes them colorfast for all kinds of applications - you could also color pearls and rhinestones with them, though I left mine silver for this card.  Nifty!

Party On, Pumpkin!

I am so loving have a little Pumpkin Party every week with My Pumpkin Challenge #0714 - Celebrate!
This week, I decided a little set of fun notes in our Pinwheel Party theme would be just right for adding a little bit of extra anticipation to our next supper night!  We love to open our home to friends for dinner:  come as you are, have a good time, but know how welcome you are here!  Don't want to formal it up too much, so these little 3" Square Notes don't lay it on TOO thick, I'm thinking!  These are all ready to hand out on Sunday!
I'm a bit chagrined that I've had to revert back to my retired star punches for this set - the smallest star in the new framelits wasn't quite the right size for my sentiment...
Producing the layers was a snap:  the notes are 3" x 6", folded in half, and the CS layer is 2 7/8" square.  To size the DSP pieces, cut each pinwheel shape into its 4 obvious triangles, stack two of the triangles, and trim one short edge of both triangles to 2 3/4" - the patterns will still be proportional on your smaller triangle!  As a bonus, I tried to align the little pre-pierced holes to be on the edge I cut off...
So what are you celebrating with YOUR Pumpkin this week?

In{k}spired Rain

This week's In{k}spire Me #155 is a special one - it's their third anniversary!  This works out awesome for me, because this week's challenge is to visit their archives and choose a sketch and color challenge to combine.  Since I haven't played with them for that long, now's my chance to do some catching up!
First to pick my combo:  I went with In{k}spiration #80 and the Color Challenge #52, to go with the stamp set I have in mind!
So, I made a tiny adjustment to the colors called for - the original color challenge called for Baja Breeze, which is now retired {SOB}, so I subbed in Pool Party.  I think it works!
I thought the layout would be perfect for a new stamp set
called Think Happy, which features little clouds, happy and sad, and sweet accompanying sentiments.  Today I went with a "sorry" card - mostly because I really wanted to use that swirly thunderhead cloud!  Can you tell I'm so relieved that our monsoon season has started here in AZ??

Love the little banner shape on this week's Fresh Made Sketch #144 - can never have too many chances to use my awesome framelit set!
It also seemed like a great time to pull Calling All Heroes back out - the combos in this set are so fascinating!!  Today, I was totally inspired by Justin K's card - he did this little layered cityscape that I knew I wanted to try!   I had fun with it, and tried to make it "taller," lol, to fit this sketch...
And yes, I KNOW Shazam didn't wear a mask, not even in the movie!  I just wanted to take some of the other masks out for an inky spin!

Hey, this week's Nacho Average Challenge #97 is pretty similar to last week's Fab Friday!  Have to make this one shine...
Today I started with the DSP - LOVE this Lullaby paper.  It totally is a natural fit for baby cards, though I had intended to make something else work, oh well.  I just love this baby set and framelits so much, hard to pass them up!  People 'round here better start having more babies, lol!

This layout at Fab Friday #45 is a great one for showcasing new shapes!  Think I'll try to turn it around, too...
Today I felt like a bit of coloring - so, what's black and white (or Vanilla) and read (or Red) all over?  Ar ar, I crack myself up...
I was thinking this sweetie might also be manly enough for a guy card, too - there's just one little jumbo rhinestone, who could find fault with that?
