Fresh Friendship

This week's Freshly Made Sketch #105 really cried out for showing off our lovely DSP, and one I haven't worked with much since using it for a convention swap is the gorgeous Eastern Elegance.  Time to remedy that!  It really helps that it features my still fave Coastal Cabana, too!  I also wanted to try a different shape in in the center, and here's another one I haven't used in a bit - yay, Window Frames!  So appropriate for this sketch, which kind of has a window look...

Autumn Take Care

Love, love, LOVE this week's color challenge at Nacho Average Challenge #56 this week, and everyone knows I'm a lukewarm color challenger as it is!  This combo is so unusual, but so inspired - seriously, very cool!  I couldn't believe all the possibilities that started popping up when I browsed the stampin' shelves!  In the end, I decided to ink up my beloved Take Care set - way too long since it's seen ink.  Did you know this is the very first stamp set I ever "doctored?"  I actually snipped the branch so that I could also stretch it across a landscape layout card.  It's funny to think how stressed I was that day - it felt sacrilegious, for sure, but now I've done it for a few, lol.  See, all things come easier with practice!

Wow - what a cool color combo from this week's Sunday Stamps #59!  The Coral and Pistachio are actually perfect for each other, never would have tried that, and for SURE never would have added GOLD!  Brilliant!
I decided a good way to marry these colors was to water-color - and the Pleasant Poppies stamp seems to be made just for it.  It's a lovely backdrop to float the sentiment over, I think...

This week's Retro Sketch #82 was a simple and dramatic layout - such wide open spaces to play in!  I decided to turn it on its side, and move the sentiment over, as well, for some variety, lol.  Just received a new Scripture Series I needed to break in - good timing!

Whew - I can just squeeze in one last Pumpkin Challenge - especially if I combine it with Paper Craft Crew's #60!  Clearly, I am rebelling against the circles suggested in PCC - but how 'bout some banners instead?  Hope this still qualifies, lol...   My Pumpkin Challenge #913 - Shapes is still going on for just a few more days, and you have a week for Paper Craft Crew - what can you come up with?

My Paper Pumpkin kits - August 2013 Pedal Praise & May 2013 Good Life; plus, Whisper White CS & Calypso Coral ink.

Yay - another chance to combine challenges today!  This time, it's a happy combination of Clean & Simple #259 and In{k}spire Me's #114.  So, of course since the Clean & Simple sketch suggested flowers, I HAD to do something else, and it was handy to have a color scheme ready-made for me, too!  I love how well the medallions coordinate, no matter how you place them...

Oh, what a nostalgic sketch from Fab Friday #27 this week!  When I first started with card-making, I was totally obsessed with the whole "inchies" layout - I did SO many of those cards!  This week was like a blast from the past!  I decided to go for a Christmas theme - I am fascinated by the cute little Oh, Goodie stamp set - YUM!

Venetian Invitation

For this week's EXTRAORDINARY Freshly Made Sketch #104, I decided to try and play outside my usual color palette.  Fortunately, I still have a TON of Venetian Romance left over from my convention swaps!  Taking that as the lead, I fit in the elements of the sketch, and this is the result.  I only had to rip pieces off once!  I still feel like I could go back and add more "stuff," but I also wanted it to stay relatively clean.  This sketch would be a great opportunity to do an embossed background, though.  Hm...

The Eyes Have It

As soon as I saw this week's Retro Sketch #81, I knew I needed to stray to the wild side!  Since we're in full Halloween planning mode around here (apparently we'll be turning into the set of Dr. Who, sigh, think I can get a fez at Party City?) I decided go in that direction, and what do stacks of circle pairs look like?  Eyeballs, of course!  It reminds me of those boo pumpkin treats I made once a while back, and I made their little eyes all look  in different directions, lol.  Spooky!

Thx Treats & Flip Instructions

In keeping with all things "flippin'," I had one last feature of the thinlet card sets that I didn't get to squeeze into the class - so I squeezed it onto a SUPER simple treat (we always have a bite of chocolate, right??)  The Label Card thinlet set features two 3-D banner shapes, that come all scored and ready for adding just the right touch of extra dimension to your projects.  In this case, I did a simple DSP and ribbon wrap on a Ghirardelli Square, and then added a popped-up banner on top, with a "thx" from the Circle Card thinlet set.  I had to show it ALL for this class!  The curvy banner is totally cool, too - perfect for holiday cards!
Here are tonight's Flip Class Instructions as well!
Label Card & Circle Card thinlets; Modern Medley DSP; Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon; Very Vanilla & Cherry Cobbler CS.
