Big Fab Balloon

We have another wonderful sketch for you this week, Fab Friday #97 - won't you come play??
I have to admit, I feel a little like a I kinda cheated on this one today, lol.  Did I go for too obvious a shape?  When I was browsing my stamp collection to see what would come out today, this one kind of leaped out - I haven't used it in so long!  And then, shh, when I picked it up, this already stamped balloon fell out - woops!  When you have images pretty much jumping on to cards, you really have to just bow down to fate!  I dressed it up with a heat-embossed completed sentiment, and some speckled background, keeping up with the bold color scheme.
How about it?  Any stamps leaping off your shelves?  I can't wait to see!

Retro Rainbow

Here's a "diagonal" layout from Retro Sketch #233 that I think it will look wonderful with Can You Case It #139's rainbow colors, too!  I'm also adding in Global Design Project #55's Random Acts of Kindness theme - we can always use more of that!
So, we can't have a rainbow without a sparkly silver cloud, right?  Don't tell anyone that I let my YNS Puffy Cloud dies out to play, shh...  Anyway, I kept the rainbow stripes simple, and added a quick word to my neighbor, who has just lost her furry friend.  Hopefully this will help cheer her up!
Work of Art & Here For You Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive, Pacific Point, Rich Razzleberry & Soft Sky (on envelope) Inks; YNS Puffy Cloud Dies; leftover Pastel Sequins.

Bold Everything

Another super-fun sketch from Sunday Stamps #136!  Can I add a Paper Pumpkin, too, for Pumpkin Wednesday?  What kind of question is that?!  Of COURSE I can!
For Pumpkin Wednesday today, I'm focusing more on the papers that came in our Bold Botanicals kit, though I did jump to the bonus pumpkin set All About Everything for the sentiments.  I really like the bold splashes of color in this kit - lots of room for unexpected combos, and this sketch was a perfect roadmap for it!  Notice how leftover sequins are becoming a staple of my designs, too, lol?

I love the central layering at this week's Create With Connie & Mary #425!  I think this will be a great sketch to sneak in TGIF #74's "stitching" challenge, too!
OK, confession time.  Shh.  I have NEVER sewn on a card with my sewing machine.  {GASP}, you say?  Yes, it's true.  I MIGHT be known historically as a bit rabid in defense of my sewing machine, lol, as I used to do a lot of historical reenactment, and made some pretty elaborate reproductions.  Yes, I also have a pair of Gingham Fabric Shears that live in a locked box away from grabby irreverent hands, too.  And yes, I have a mini machine on my Amazon wishlist that will be JUST for stitching on paper.  But, for today, SOMEONE used my machine to sew up a rip in their golf bag, so I had a worn-out needle all ready to go, lol.  It was like fate...  Good times...

Today we have this lovely landscape from Freshly Made Sketch #255!  Such a wide field for stamping will give me lots of scope for these bright colors from In{k}spire Me #268, too!
I decided that these funky retro colors really wanted a funky retro stamp set - Totally Trees, please step to the plate!  I have been getting such a kick out of stamping these in off colors - such a cool effect!  I added just a few spots of bling and called it good!

Here's another lovely layout from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #289!  I'm excited to march it with the lovely colors at Pals Paper Arts #319!
OK, after seeing the lovely rectangles in the sketch, I couldn't help but pull out Marquee Messages - which is pretty much designed to also add in a three-color spread, lol.  So fun to play with the layers on this one!  A few touches of white gel pen really make the details sing, too...

Yes, Global Design Project #64 had me at the banner, lol.  Yay!  I'm combining it with this week's Merry Monday #214 - "Keep warm!"
I started as usual with a browse of stamp sets that I thought could meet the "keep warm" part - I actually had a few choices!  In this case, I decided to go with a colony of penguins from Snow Place, all bundled up in muffs and scarves!  No neglecting one's ear-muffs!  I also decided to doctor up a sentiment from Mountain Adventure - our layering squares sure came in handy for that!  Feelin' toasty, for sure, lol...

I'm so excited about Can You Case It #138's shaker card challenge this week!  I'm stoked to combine it with What Will You Stamp #82's Glamper Greetings - yay!
OK, I decided to a shaker over a travel scene, so I could keep my fancy camper right up front - how about a winter scene?  It's a snap with Mountain Adventure along, too.  I didn't over-dress my camper too much, just a little wreath on the door!  I guess they were busy making that snowman...

WOW!  Pretty snazzy sketch from this week's Retro Sketch #232!  I'm a little intimidated by this one, lol...
And I don't know why!  The DT samples are perfect and make total sense to me.  But here at my desk, I'm choking!  OK, so I might be a cheating cheater who cheats today, but I solved my problem by re-ordering my layers a little.  Shh.  SO much fun playing with the new Halloween Scenes Edgelits!  Love it!

Well, yes, I CAN do that!    I tell you, I am having a blast with this month's kit, building and coloring my own DSP!  Good times...  I had to pull out my old Circles Framelits to get a circle large enough for this sketch, though, shhh...
