Simple Get Well

Yay - this week's Clean & Simple #255 was just perfect for the Tag It stamp set.  I also took a crack at the patterned window sheets we sometimes get in our DSP packs - I really find those challenging to work with.  Today I finally realized that I could float them over card stock and make it look like any color DSP I wanted!  Woot!  Eureka!
Today's fresh and bright color combo comes courtesy of the Color Coach, too.  This card matches my toenails right now!

That's right folks, time for some homage to the awesome Brenda Quintana once again!  How could I resist this amazing Hershey's Kiss Maple Leaf she created for Canada Day this year!  LOVE IT!  I have been waiting since July to make this cutie!  Perfect theme to go with our Reversible Clothespin Fall Wreaths tonight as well (and the Pumpkin Cookies, lol!)
Enjoy!


I also wanted to take a quick moment to catch you up on September's promos, which start just a couple of days early, since the 1st is over the weekend!
First up, The Butterfly Bundle!  From August 29 through September 30, you get an extra 15% off when you purchase the Papillion Potpourri stamp set and the Bitty Butterfly punch, in either wood or clear mount - what a deal!  Click on the picture below for the full flyer.
And second - September's Best Of set is here!  Take a look at Best of Autumn - this mix included some of MY old faves, that's for sure!  Still $14.95, and still another chance to complete your collection card for your free stamp set!  Are you there yet?  Click on the picture to see the full flyer!

What a fun sketch this week from Paper Craft Crew #56!  Another chance to play more with my aqua painter, turns out - I'm loving that with the Truly Grateful set!
Looking at my supply list, I've come to realize that I'm a kitchen sink kind of aqua painter, too - I just start pulling out colors, "Hm, this looks like Fall, and this, and this, and this, and this... Let's just throw it all in there and see how it comes out!"  Yup, that's me.  Equal Opportunity Inker.
Truly Grateful & Morning Post Numbers stamps sets; Sahara Sand, Soft Sky, Whisper White & Chocolate Chip CS; Sweater Weather DSP; Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze. Early Espresso, Garden Green, Crushed Curry & Soft Suede inks; Deco Labels framelits; Essentials piercing template; 5/8" Chocolate Chip Grosgrain; Brights Candy Dots.

Pumpkin Love Note Trio

Time for my last August "All Goes" challenge inspiration at My Pumpkin Challenge!  I have to tell you - there are some "seriously" awesome projects this month!  Have no fear of the pumpkin - we are bringing you the hip and out-of-the-box creative, all in one pumpkin patch!  Amazing!
For my final August offering, I unearthed an old set of "love note" blanks and envelopes - I think they were in a grab bag of goodies I got a few years back, giggle!  I think of Love Notes as something like the size that comes in your flower delivery - remember those?  Handy little notes to give with a quick gift - I have them all bagged and ready to go!

Paper Pumpkin Kits used:  Hey There, Good Life, Hello To You & Party Pennants; plus, Sycamore Street 1/4" Satin Ribbon (2013 SAB); Basic Jewel Rhinestones; Island Indigo, Tangerine Tango, Summer Starfruit & Pool Party inks; Small Heart punch.

"Girly" Grunge Birthday

Low, I can't believe I've managed to combine TWO challenges this week - In{k}spire Me's #110 and Fab Friday #25!  What a fun way to tackle a color challenge, too!  I hope the stars align like this more often, lol!
To get started on this one, I decided to cruise the stamp shelves and see what was feeling lonely.  That was when I realized - how can I only have used Bombs Away Birthday one time??  Let's dress that baby up with some "girly" grunge!  This is still my fave sentiment from this set, too - can you tell what my personal birthday hang-up is??
Bombs Away Birthday & Gorgeous Grunge stamp sets; Sahara Sand, Pink Pirouette & Very Vanilla CS; Pear Pizzazz, Pink Pirouette & Sahara Sand inks; Corner Rounder Punch; Pear Pizzazz Seam Binding Ribbon; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Fresh Psalm 19

This week marks' Freshly Made Sketches 100th challenge!  In celebration of that, they brought back their very first sketch ever for us to play with - and it's still cute!
I'm still working to fill in my scripture card box, so let's have a little Psalm 19 this week, shall we?  I'm still loving this Afternoon Picnic DSP, too, and with this card, I discovered that my pack actually had an extra sheet in it!  And the crowd goes wild!  Lol, it actually really threw me - I thought maybe I had gotten and consolidated 2 packs in my sleep or something...  But I didn't!  It's a bonus!
Mixed Bunch & Our Daily Bread Scripture Collection 9 stamp sets; Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Pear Pizzazz, Soft Suede & Very Vanilla CS; Afternoon Picnic DSP; Early Espresso ink; Filigree Build A Brad (retired); 3/8" Circle Punch.

Retro By The Tide

OK, I'm totally not sure about this card I made for Retro Sketches #77 this week.  I LOVE the idea of this sketch - some kind of shadow cut out that highlights an image or sentiment.  Just not feeling too sure that I executed what I had hoped.
I decided I wanted to pull out By The Tide, and play with the coral branch stamp, I envisioned peeking in at a fishy swimming around in the branches.  It worked, I think, maybe I just feel stymied by trying to keep it spare for a man card...  At least I got to watercolor the fishy - yay!
By The Tide & Express Yourself stamp sets; Whisper White & Marina Mist CS; Always Artichoke, Pear Pizzazz & Marina Mist inks; Circles Collection Framelits; Corner Rounder Punch; Pretty Print Embossing Folder; Crushed Curry Baker's Twine (from the Tag A Bag Accessories kit!); Subtles Candy Dots.

Ho Ho Ho for Goodie Kisses!

OK, I'm not too proud to admit that this month's class treat was totally from a kit!  While at Convention 2013, I was SO lucky to receive one of the Simply Created Real Red Goodie Gear kits - it was just too tempting to not save it to share with you all at our card class!  The kit is amazing - 10 little treat bags, 10 little Crumb Cake tags (smaller than the Chalk Talk tag, fyi), 10 little Island Indigo Baker's Twine ties, beaucoup Real Red stripey tape, and 10 die cut little banners ready for stamping, along with the adorable Oh Goodie stamp set.  15 minutes and a bag of kisses later, we were all set!  These kits are a screaming sweet deal!
Here are tonight's Christmas in August class instructions as well!

Clean Pumpkins!

OK, I'll be honest - NO, I do not send Halloween cards to everyone I know (though I do send a few!) and YES, from year to year, I have started to accumulate a little stockpile of these cards.  That's great for my foyer table, where I change the decor seasonally, but, well, they do seem to be breeding in a some kind of weird Halloween way, lol.  So, more folks might get some spooky cards from me this year than usual - they gotta go!
Now, I wouldn't normally think Halloween for Clean & Simple's #254, but I couldn't resist this little play on pumpkins - who could??
Perfectly You & Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp sets; Summer Starfruit, Basic Gray, Very Vanilla & Basic Black CS; Witches Brew DSP; Basic Black emboss; Hexagon Punch; Lucky Limeade 1/8" Organdy Ribbon (retired); Neutrals Candy Dots.
