So Inspired

Good times - SU Only #228 is running a "new catty faves" challenge this week - how to pick just one??
In the end, I settled on the Silhouette Scenes suite - LOVE LOVE LOVE this DSP, and I find the stamps and sentiments so sweet and inspiring!  Today I even used the new Shimmer Black embossing powder - and it's awesome!  The glitter really pops in this new formula, and it goes on so smooth and perfect - divine, lol.  I decided to play a little more with the pretty dies, too - and pulled out "inspire" for this one - yes, I did my usual triple layer on the word - even the dots on the I's - it was a bit of a bear to get on there how I wanted, but it all worked out in the end.  Can't wait to see others' faves on the challenge - you should go check it out!

Pink Posh Piggy

I have to admit, I'm feeling a little "quilt-y" when I see this week sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #419!
You know who hasn't been out lately, though??  This Little Piggy, of course!  Don't want to forget that this set carried over and is still current - though if you get it now it comes in cling format - all to the better, lol!  I kept this sweetie pretty simple, Blushing Bride on Basic Black, and did a fussy cut piggy from card stock rather than coloring it all.  AND, I've finished with a few Pretty Pink Posh sequins in Ballerina Pink, a prize I won over at AAA Cards last month!  Yay!

Positively CAS

I'm really liking AAA #145's twist option this week - "positivity!"  Good one!
So, AAA also had a little video to talk about their definition of CAS - and it's pretty lean, lol.  I am "positive" I have not been as CAS as they like, lol.  I made a real effort today - one image as they asked, very light color washing with the aqua-painter and three little pale sequins, which I supposed I could have left off, but I do like the pops of light they bring to the lady's splash - I think this is about as pared down as I can go!  AND, I love the result!

I sure hope you like our sketch this week at Sunday Stamps #210 - this one's from ME!  Can't wait to see what you think!
For myself, I decided to explore some of my untouched Bird Ballad DSP sheets - I've been having so much fun with all the gorgeous colored birds and branches, I haven't even touched this amazing graphic bird cage sheet, or the equally lovely feathers on the other side!  I matched my pretty feathers with this sweet sentiment for a little visual pun, too (yeah, I've had caffeine today, so I might be reaching a little, lol!)  I love the clean and simple look of the finished card here, just a few Iridescent Sequins add some points of light for us, too.  SO, what will you come up with??  See you over at the challenge, to play my sketch!

OK, I think As You See It #205 is onto me this week - I have been missing Maui SO MUCH lately, lol!  So a beach theme is perfect timing - waaah!
I decided to go with my Waterfront set for this one, though I did add in a seagull scrap of Bird Ballad DSP - all the gulls seemed beachy to me, lol.  I played around with the textures stamps in the set to make a setting for this little blue beach hut, complete with palm trees - ahhh, island life!

Wow, Hand Stamped Sentiments # 319 has a lovely inspiration board for us this week!
It's so funny that this inspiration popped up for me this week - I have just discovered the HGTV show "Fixer Upper," and have been doing a bit of binge watching lately - this inspiration board could be a concept layout for that show, I think, lol.  Anyway, I was caught by the lovely woodgrain, the frames, and the flowers, and when I roll all that together, I get this!  I can't resist still trotting out my now retired Wood Textures DSP, and the lovely Petal Palette - they were made for each other, seriously.  I'm loving how this came out, but I think I should just send it to Joanna Gaines, lol...

Ooo, nice!  Retro Rubber #115 has a sweet color challenge for us this week, and it includes one of my fave combos - purple and green!  Yes!
I thought for sure I'd go for some pretty flowers for this one, but then I got distracted by a cool tie-dye t-shirt idea (did I loan someone the Tie-Dyed set?  Sing out if so, lol!), then I switched gears again when I spotted Market Fresh in the for sale box (looking for Tie-Dyed, in case I lost my mind and put it there, lol) and I KNEW I had to do this big bunch of juicy grapes!  Yum!  Saved again by the awesome retirees!  So fun to color this baby with my beloved Blends - I even colored up a few rhinestones to go with!  Yum!

CAS on Friday #162 has a fun stencil challenge for us, BUT, with this one they're going on summer break til September!  Wah!
I decided to go back and pull one of my OLD stencils - which I miss!  This one is from the stars sheet from our old Hearts & Stars Decorative Masks - I used to play with these babies all the time, lol.  I did a simple layover stenciled with Gold Shimmer Paint, then popped on an amazingly apt sentiment from Here's to Strong Women - yay!

It's hard not to think of bubbles when I look at our fun sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #418!
Well, since we also have an optional Nautical theme going this week, I immediately pulled out my Sailing Home suite - so much good stuff in here!  First job was to pick my papers - I'm loving all the stripes to choose from!  I thought for sure I was going to do my stamped elements all on circles, when I realized I could just go with my sail boats - there are two different sizes!  Perfect!  I got one circle in for my sentiment, and finished with a lovely anchor trinket, which let me even sneak in the twine, too.  It's a matchy-matchy day!
So, what will YOU create?  I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!

Woven Prayers

Good times - SU Only #227 has a sketch challenge for us this week, to take off from a fun dinosaur card in our catty!  So cute!
This one made me think of using some pretty DSP for the horizontal bands, so I went DSP shopping, and returned once again to the gorgeous Woven Threads papers.  This had me bring in Woven Heirlooms, and I ended up with this simple but dramatic sympathy card - love this romantic font, perfect for sending some much needed love and prayers along.  I can't get enough of our new In Colors - can't wait for that last one to come my way - I'm getting impatient, lol.
