Peekaboo Peony

Here's a nice landscape sketch from Freshly Made Sketch #244 - I can't wait to try it with the sangria colors over at Create With Connie & Mary #414 (sorry, been 110 degrees here for a week straight, lol!)
It took me a minute to realize that Tangelo Twist is a retired color, so I took the liberty of changing that one to Tangerine Tango - it's just slightly darker!  Then I went hunting for a set that hasn't been out lately, and You've Got This won!  Felt like coloring today, what can I say, lol...  I originally planned on trimming the leaves back so they stayed within the white oval, but when I laid it on there to line it up, I decided I liked the look the way it was!  I do love these colors together - yum!

Super cute sketch from Stamp Ink Paper #55 this week - can't wait to play!  I'm combining it with this week's In{k}spire Me #257 - I never would have thought of these colors!
The colors really added to the challenge for me - yikes!  In the end, I started by focusing on the Emerald Envy and adding accents of the other colors.  The emerald made me wonder if I cold make a frog with my Playful Pals set - I want to use it more!  I found this frog idea at Buckeye Inklings by Chris Slogar - I think I have to start a critter file for this set, lol!  I altered the sentiment just a tiny bit so I could make it frog-appropriate, and we are good to go!

Check out this simple and perfect sketch from Sunday Stamps #130 - ahhh!
So, I'm not sure why, but lately I've been feeling like I'm not yet very well stocked up on our new DSPs.  I've gotten several packs, I swear, but somehow, my color spread isn't as broad as I'd like.  So, I figured, I'd keep a pack of Irresistibly Floral DSP on hand to fill in the chinks, lol.  My absolute fave sheet in this pack is of course the little open circles - LOVE!  Regular readers will know that I am MAD about dots - they're so happy!  I also love green and purple together, so I went a little "dotty" to bring that, too.  Coloring up my DSP was a snap with the new foam rollers, and this time I "polished" my finished paper with a slightly damp rag to really buff up those circles.  Happy dots are here again!

Woo hoo!  It's sketch time again at Fab Friday #91!  I'm combining with the fun party theme this week over at Global Design Project #43, too!
So, what kind of party can it be really, without cupcakes?  And how not to run straight to the gorgeous Sweet Cupcake set to get started??  I tell you, this set is SO blowing me away, I love the realistic cake and frosting, and all the little tasty details that come with the set to include as well - I could add sprinkles, dimensional candles (lit or just blown out!) and that big pop-up banner!  Woo!  Let's get this party started!

Lots of layers to play with in this week's Retro Sketch #221!  And check out this juicy color challenge from Can You Case It #127 - yum!
I can not tell a lie - as soon as I saw this color challenge, I knew I'd be pulling out my precious hoarded Lucky Limeade supplies - I miss that color so much!  I decided that this sketch gave me lots of room to do a fancy background sheet, too - can you tell I've been stalking the Ehrman Tapestry site this week?  Flourishing Phrases is gonna see a lot of ink by me, I think, lol.  I know I went all OEI on this one (over-embellish-itis, an actual condition) but I really couldn't help it - the details would not be denied, lol.

I like this bold sketch at this week's Create With Connie & Mary #413! And even though I'm a little late, I'm adding in As You See It #138's red & white theme for Canada Day!
So, yeah, after I got going, I couldn't really help myself.  I thought, well, you haven't really used your Vintage Leaves lately anyway, and it fits the sketch, so what the heck!  I think I've been looking over all my Canadian stampin' friends' blogs too much this week, lol.  So, "Oh, Canada..." it is!  This one's for you, Brenda Q!

I'm so honored and excited to be a guest contributor over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #278!  What a blast!  I'll be throwing in the color challenge over at Pals Paper Arts #307 too, just for fun!
I had to really tinker to find shapes that would fit in the panels for this one - Balloon Celebration to the rescue (again, lol!)  I also never seem to use the "words" string in that set - I made sure I trotted 'em out for this one for sure!  I really like how all these elements came together - it's always amazing to me how a sketch LOOKS complicated when you first glance at it, but when you break it down and start plugging stuff in, it just all falls in place!

Check out this nifty sketch at Match the Sketch #131!  And of course we have to add TGIF #62's red, white & blue challenge, too, in honor of the day!
First things first - let's turn this sketch to portrait!  Lol, I couldn't work it landscape - some kind of stampin' block today I guess...  Once I made the perspective change, it all fell together pretty quick!  I had to delve into my retired scarps for it, but I still love how the colors came together!  Dotty and stripey all at once, lol. 
Have a safe and fulfilling July 4th - let freedom ring!

Simple Birthday Shaker

Love this panel sketch at Freshly Made Sketch #243!  I think I'll work in Just Add Ink #318's - "just add an 'S'" challenge, too!
The longer I studied this sketch, the more I realized that I wanted to add "shaker" for my "S!"  So I made this super-simple shaker with sequins, and a star!  (Feeling alliterative yet?)  I hope it doesn't look too Christmas-y - These sequins are left over from the shaker card kit in last year's holiday catty - they've been reproaching me from my desk for quite some time, lol...

I like the centered elements in this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #277!  Can't wait to try it in Stamp, Ink, Paper #54's bright summer colors!
So, I didn't feel like a big centered circle element like the sketch shows, but a spray of bright balloons?  Oh yeah!  There's one more yellow balloon on the inside, too, along with "Happy Birthday."  I'm sure you can tell by now that I've been slowly weeding out some old DSP scraps, and I'm still trying to use up all my retired Candy Dots, too - they were my absolute fave embellie, so it might still be a bit, lol...
