Very fun - Make My Monday #180 has a "spotlight" theme going this round! Yay! Browsing through the possibilities, I thought this pretty stem in Nature's Harvest would work great! I originally bought this bundle for the fabulous dies, not so mush for the stamps, lol. Since then, these Black-eyed Susans (or perhaps several other flowers, depending on the color scheme, lol) have been one of my all-time favorites! So easy to color, and such a graceful arrangement. And the perfect complement to the lovely sentiments. Win-win! Nature's Harvest Stamp Set; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Layering Circles Dies; Brass Butterflies; #MMM180. Annual Catty Roundup Class, Aug 13 at 2 PM I couldn't resist this catch-all class to "round up" some stamp sets that don't quite fit in our other classes, lol. There will be a little bit of everything, with at least 5 all-occasion cards with envelopes today! I think some Sale-A-Bration could sneak in, too, lol! Class includes all supplies needed for your projects (bring your own fave snips and adhesive!) plus snacks and drinks, and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is announced for Saturday, August 13 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot!

Wow, Time Out Challenges #219 has a gorgeous sunset beachfront pic for our inspiration this week! Love it! The gorgeous pic immediately made me think of our wonderful New Horizons DSP - so glad I still have some! I started out with the little fronds that are in the accompanying On the Horizon stamp set, but went hunting when I realized they were too "short," lol. I spotted the taller grass in my old Home to Roost set from 2019 - perfect! I also realized the "missing you" sentiment would be just right for my quiet scene - it all just came together!

We are bringing on the layers this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #395! I just received a few new sets to play with in the nick of time! Today seems a good one to try out our new Mistletoe Magic set - I love it! I did a stripey background with some strips of our returned Painted Christmas DSP over Evening Evergreen - yum! Next up, my mistletoe feature panel, lol. So pretty! I had fun coloring in the larger sprig - the berries have just a tiny touch of Smoky Slate, and then layers of Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle! I even snuck in some Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds! I cant wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty sketch - meet you there!

Such a cute sketch this week at In{k}spire Me #483 - I love diagonals! This seemed like a great layout to break in my new Olive Branch set! I was intrigued as soon as I saw it - I don't have anything else like it! I decided the smaller branch would fit perfect on an oval, and there was even room for the sentiment, lol. So fun. I did my background layout in greens - Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz. I thought at first I would do a stamped off background on the diagonal with the larger branch, but in the end I pulled out my still-beloved Layered Leaves EF. For the olives, I first inked up the stamp in Old Olive (natch, lol) then I went over the olives themselves with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp-n-Write marker. The color is perfect for the olives around here!

So lovely - we have some sweet earthy colors for you this week at Sunday Stamps #289! When I saw the adorable toadstool in the pic, I knew I wanted to try for Rings of Nature today! I've been using these shapes to make acorns, but we have the stems to make them into toadstools, too! These remind me so much of the little guys in Fantasia, lol. Anyway, I kept things pretty CAS, and also tried stamping my sentiment onto one of the die and emboss combo wood rounds - cool effect! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our colors this week - meet you there!

Such a cool theme at this week's Cardz 4 Guyz #301 - "recycle something!" It took me a little while to realize I had just the thing! A month or so ago, I won a gift bundle from Lawn Fawn - (Shhh! Stamps AND dies!) The cute bundle I picked arrived promptly - and it was tied up with this pretty green and blue twine! Say, that looks pretty darn close to our new Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, I remember thinking. Anyway, I thriftily wound it up and tossed it into the catch-all embellie box that lives on my desk. So glad I remembered it! And what fun playing with my newly acquired Tech Support set - this cuteness does SO compute! Tech Support Stamp Set; Basic White & Tahitian Tide CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Tahitian Tide & Parakeet Party Blends Markers; Tasteful Labels Dies (retired); Unknown Lawn Fawn Twine; Parakeet Party Matte Decorative Dots; #C4G301.

Very cool theme this round at Can You Handle the Pressure - "Beach!" Digging through my folder stash, I came across the retired "Ruffled" - I've always felt like this one was a great one for stylized waves and water! I did my embossed panel in Pool Party, over some Crumb Cake for "sand," and went to look for a likely stamp set to add. I almost pulled the new lighthouse set (love it!) but in the end I wanted to do some curvy swimsuits from Sunny Splash. These are such vintage bathing beauties, lol, and they're fun to match up with our vibrant new In Colors! I even doctored up a label strip to order for the sentiment!

Ah ha - the always yummy Cupcake Inspiration #549 is playing FROZEN treats this round - count me in! I went back to my old Cool Treats set from 2018 - still my favorite ice cream, lol. I even still have some of the Tasty Treats DSP to go with - I'm such a hoarder for some things! Anyway, I settled on a simple layout, and set out to make a few yummies. As usual, I went ahead and fussy cut my goodies - there are dies, yes, but the dies cut significantly smaller than the stamped image, and I want the biggest treats ever, lol! I heat-embossed a sparkly sentiment from the Suite Sentiments set from the year before - a special set that gave us extra words for a few of our awesome bundles! I finished with a birthday thought inside! Cool Treats Stamp Set (retired 2018); Tasty Treats DSP; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Versamark, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party & Sweet Sorbet Inks; Shimmer White EP; Solid Faceted Gems in Sweet Sorbet; #CIC549. We have a great theme this week at Addicted to CAS #225 - "nautical!" I couldn't resist pulling in our latest Paper Pumpkin set for this one, called Sending Good Thoughts! This kit was all about little bottles with messages and findings in them, and was VERY nautical, lol. I saved one of my die cut sheets to use as a mask to blend up this bottle large enough for the little ship image, and created a little sandy spit for it to wash up on using an image from our retired High Tide set - I'm loving how it came out! I added some twine around the bottle neck, and finished with some Faux Sea Glass bits in the bottle - I can hear the ocean from here! Sending Good Thoughts (Paper Pumpkin Jul 22) & High Tide (retired 2021) Stamp Sets; Basic White CS; Crumb Cake, Pool Party & Basic Gray Inks; Blending Brush; Linen Thread; Faux Sea Glass Shapes (retired); #ATC225. So excited we have our "Anything Goes" challenge this round at Retro Rubber #188! PERFECT for our fun sketch at SU Only #307, too! While scanning the shelves of retirement, the taco truck just kept beeping at me, lol - it needed some love! It' hard to believe this was from a Sale-A-Bration in 2017! It still seems so fresh, especially when it adapts to our latest hostess DSP so well - the Design a Daydream pack. Fun colors to draw from for a cupcake truck, if I do say so myself! I can't wait to see YOUR projects on these challenges - meet you there! Tasty Trucks Stamp Set (retired 2017); Design a Daydream DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Blackberry Bliss, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Petal Pink, Crumb Cake & Pool Party Blends Markers; Old Olive Twill Ribbon; Glitter Enamel Dots (retired); #RRCB188; #SUOC307. |
