 We have another fun "any shape" sketch to play with at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #374! Today I inked up my Lift Me Up set - it's been a while since this one came out! With the heat around here, I'd LOVE to be up in the air catching some breezes, lol - it's been 115 here all week so far, sigh... I played again with our new Brights line of rainbow colors - loving it more and more every time I try this! And it looks super cute over a lighter sheet of our Twinkle Twinkle DSP - my new fave papers! So fun getting to play with my fave toys every day! See you at the challenge - can't wait to see YOUR creations! Lift Me Up Stamp Set; Twinkle Twinkle DSP; Whisper White, Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape Markers; Up & Away Thinlits; #TSOT374.

 Oo, what a fun and heraldic sketch from Inspire Create Challenge #23! This sketch really screamed out for some DSP play, and I couldn't resist pulling out one of my faves from the gorgeous Share What You Love pack - the florals in this are just really amazing! The reverse side of my flowers was the perfect pattern to set everything off, too, so it was even simpler than I imagined to piece everything together. I added some Rich Razzleberry layers and details, and finished with a few Petal Pink sequins from our Basics pack. Such a rich result! Love What You Do Stamp Set; Share What You Love DSP; Whisper White & Rich Razzleberry CS; Rich Razzleberry Ink; Layering Ovals Framelits; Basics Sequins; #ICC23.   It must be Sunday, because today is Sunday Stamps #184's super cute layered sketch! I went bright and bold today with selections from the Broadway Bound DSP, to go with the Broadway Birthday stamp set! I also wanted to play with some of the layering opportunities of the stamp set itself, and added some cute dots to my "hooray" and backed my marquee for even MORE dots! A few sparkly Melon Mambo Glitter Enamel Dots and we are ready to party! Can't wait to see YOUR creations - see you at the challenge! Broadway Birthday Stamp Set; Broadway Bound DSP; Whisper White, Basic Black, Lovely Lipstick & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Lemon Lime Twist & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Broadway Lights Framelits; Glitter Enamel Dots in Melon Mambo; #SSC184.   Bring on the color! AAA #120 has a rainbow challenge for us this week! I decided I wanted to feature our new Brights line-up in my rainbow, and I couldn't stop thinking abut how cute a row of bright vases, with just a few stems thrown in, would look. So out came Varied Vases, and boy do these colors sing! I had originally planned to color in my scallop "shelf" with matching rainbow markers, but decided that discretion is the greater part of CAS, no? Lol. A lesson hard learned, believe me! I'd love to see this row in my office! Varied Vases Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape Inks.   Wowza! In{k}spire Me #360 is celebrating their SEVENTH birthday! Amazing! As usual, I get to pick my own past sketch and color combo to help them celebrate! I decided to combine two recent challenges I missed while traveling: 355 & 356. Another fun new set that has recently come my way is Enjoy Life, a million dollar set designed by Connie Fitzgerald. It's full of inspiring images and sentiments, with pretty details to add. I had a great time with this color combo - so gorgeous how the subtle colors play off each other! I really like botanical stems in general -I can tell I'll be using those images a LOT... Enjoy Life Stamp Set; Calypso Coral DSP; Whisper White, Petal Pink & So Saffron CD; Petal Pink, Calypso Coral & So Saffron Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Envelope Punch Board; Ombre Ribbon in Calypso Coral; Calypso oral Enamel Shapes; #IM360.

After some struggle, I decided today to just go with the sketch. But you can picture it outside if you want, lol. I did end up pulling out my retired Fruit Basket suite because I started out thinking "picnic," and ended up with a bowl of pears, lol. So fun to get all my little fruits out again!

WOW, Hand Stamped Sentiments #294 is bringin' the pink with their inspiration challenge this week! I'm not really known as a pink person, lol, but luckily, at my downline Sarah's Summer Crafting Retreat, I was able to borrow from her stash - and she's totally a pink person, lol! I quickly pulled her Lilypad Lake - I really wanted to play with those water lines, and I ended up making a whole background sheet for a few little birds. I think these are really supposed to be cranes, but what the hey, I think cranes can be cute flamingos, too!

We have a lovely sketch for you to play with this week! I was super excited to have a new stamp set to get inky today - Dandelion Wishes has such pretty images, to dress up or down as you prefer! I kept it simple, and also pulled out a new DSP to go with. I really think the Soft Sea Foam is such a sweet delicate color.... Mint Macaron looks so heavy compared to it! Can't wait to see what YOU come up with! See you at the challenge!

I pulled out some beauties for this one - THREE sets, lol. I knew I wanted to do a stamped element for the scallop border, and I quickly came across Delicate Details - can't believe it's only from last year's SAB! Next up - a focal image. I started thinking about how pretty the lace would look heat embossed on Crumb Cake in white, so I thought some kind of floral-branchy image would be good, and in came my beloved Soft Summer from 2009. It's a tree AND a flower, baby! God, that still cracks me up, lol. I finished with a simple sentiment from 2005's Small Script - I still have all these old script sets - so fun to punch out with our retired Small Oval punch. Whew. I think that's Retro enough for today, lol...

Only #204 has a designer's choice challenge for us this week - hm, what SHALL I do?? So, what today's stamp search taught me is that I have too many favorites right now, lol. I finally settled on my fave hostess set, Hand Delivered. I am LOVING building this lady in all the "delivery" combos! I like the balloons best, I think, for being able to add bright pops of color in various combos. This week, I'm all about Berry Burst, I guess, I feel like I've picked it up every day this week! I'm also hi-lighting our markers - so fun to color with! A touch of texture, a few of my fave-but-retired {SOB} sequins, and I'm all set - Tutti Frutti rules! Hand Delivered Stamp Set; Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Nude Blendie; Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Pool Party & Flirty Flamingo Markers; Layering Circle Framelits; Flourish Thinlits; Tutti Frutti Sequins; #SUO204.
