'Stache in Plaid

Oo, I'm super excited about this weeks Sisterhood of Crafters "Cozy Plaids" challenge - I have something I've been wanting to try!  And I have just enough time to squeeze in this sketch from TGIF #177, too - perfect!
I really felt like a Christmas card today, lol - maybe that's just what I think of when I hear "cozy plaids," lol.  Anyway, I actually CREATED my own plaid with a little help from our awesome Buffalo Check  background stamp!  I inked that baby up in Real Red, then added stripes with Old Olive & Crushed Curry markers - worked like a charm!  Tip:  if you don't have a "C-Thru" ruler yet, go get one right away, lol.  Makes lining everything up a breeze!  To complete my Christmas theme, I pulled out my beloved (and retired, SOB) Santa Stache - I still laugh when I see those handlebars - heee!

Nature's Sentiments

The sketch at this week's Hand-Stamped Sentiments #298 is SUCH a cutie!  Time to dive in!
I browsed for QUITE a while choosing the stamp set I wanted to use - Then I remembered the wood cut shape in  Rooted in Nature, and knew I was set.  I could even pull in the pretty DSP from the suite - Nature's Poem is one of my faves!  I stamped off my trunk shape so I could add the sentiment straight to it, and it was a breeze to fussy cut - the only shape NOT in the amazing framelit set, lol.

We have a lovely martial sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #379 - can't wait to try it in my old high school colors from In{k}spire Me #367!
I couldn't shake the "martial" idea once I'd had it, lol, so I ran over and grabbed my retired Badges & Banners set - Why not carry the theme and add a "shield" to go with??  I covered my stripes along the bottom with some DSP strips, added a band of sparkle in the middle and finished with my "shield."  this one was quick and quirky, lol - LOVE these colors together!
So, what will YOU come up with?  Can't wait to see you at the challenge!

Celebrate good times at this week's SU Only #207's "celebrate" theme!  How to pick just one party??  I'm excited to be able to add in this cute sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #354 - I haven't been able to play there in an AGE!
Checking out the Design Team ideas, I felt really excited by how much liberty I could take with this sketch, lol.  I already knew I wanted to use my giant "celebrate" die from the Celebrate You thinlits, what could I use to go with, that would fit the columnar sketch elements?  Well, well, well - how about a pretty lady with a handful of balloons?  Eee!  So much fun coloring this beauty, and really not too hard to fussy cut either.  She's definitely on the way to a party!
Wonderful Moments Stamp Set; Brights DSP; Whisper White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Dr Real Red, Dk Granny Apple Green, Dk Mango Melody, Nude & Dk Daffodil Delight Blends; Celebrate You Thinlits; #SUO207; #FMS354.

Friday Flowers

I'm back again at my newly discovered CAS on Friday #141, this time with their flower challenge - yay!  I'm tossing in Color Throwdown #510's bright colors, too!
For today's flowers, I decided to try another round of our Abstract Impressions set - I love the brush-stroke look of these, and how easy it makes to add dimension with strategic stamping and stamping off - so fun!  I did go in for a bit of fussy cutting - look at my red flowers fly, lol!  Still, VERY clean and simple for me!  Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of that style?  No way!

It's so funny that this bright challenge just popped up at Stylin' Stampin' Inkspriration #53, because I was just looking at my inks and trying to remember if I've used Pineapple Punch yet, lol.  I think I'll start small and work up to it using the As You See It #184's "back to basics" challenge, too, lol.  And I have an idea for including this fun sketch from Case This Sketch #289!
I started by flipping the sketch upside down, and then just kept things super simple from there - stamp, Ink and paper (with just a few sequins, lol.)  I love this Picture Perfect Birthday stamp set - so much fun with the candles, and I really enjoy the font for the sentiments - such a happy set, still going strong!

Another big color challenge from us this week for Fab Friday#146!  Yikes!  I'm hoping Inspire Create Challenge #26 can help me out, lol.
Once again, inclusion of a green-like color sent me scrambling for a flower set to use, lol, and I had some fun with our still-gorgeous Beautiful Day set.  I used my aqua-painter to color in the blossom with the purples and pink, added the Tranquil Tide leaf, and floated it all over a sea of Balmy Blue, lol.  These colors were HARD!  I added a touch of sparkle with some of our now-retired Silver Cording Trim and a few tiny rhinestones.  Came out pretty sweet, I think!
Can't wait to see how YOU handle these colors - see you at the challenge!

Oh yes!  The Library Challenge #15 is back again, this time with the adorable Winnie the Pooh!  Eee!
I'm pretty sure that A Little Wild is the perfect set for me to play at this challenge - and I didn't even have to pull out the bear booty to show off its cuteness, lol.  I love that the bear "suite" for this set includes some little bees, and a beehive, all with their own framelits - yay!  I might have gone a little crazy with the bees, but it was so fun to scatter them around, lol...  What a perfectly sweet book cover to play this week!

What a fun sketch this week at AAA #123 - like a porthole!  I'm combining with this week's TGIF #176 beautiful Autumn colors, too!
I had a hard time settling on what to do for these combined challenges.  I started out with a stencil and some markers, got some major smudges, and then realized I was using Pool Party instead of Coastal Cabana.  Sigh.  Then when I decided to jump to these sweet stems from Petal Palette, my Big Shot had some kind of indigestion requiring lots of canned air and a sewing machine brush.  Whoa!  So, even though it is SUPER clean and simple (a major feat for me, lol) it took me like FOUR tries to get to it!  I think I'll do something else for the rest of today, lol, and quit while I'm ahead!

So much fun - we're hosting another Tic-Tac-Tuesday #5 over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday - I think I might be hooked now!
I spent a half hour or so brainstorming over my choices, but couldn't seem to "shake" the idea to do something that included a shaker, lol - so I went with our bottom row - green, shaker, blue!  This idea was solidified when I came across a little baggie of these Pool Party sequins - they must be leftover from a Paper Pumpkin kit - that I found when re-organizing my studio.  Yes, I have a whole drawer labeled "sequins" now, lol - good times here!  Anyway, I knew this could be some pretty snow behind our gorgeous new spruce in Winter Woods, a real keeper in our holiday catty, that OF COURSE has a framelit set to go with - win, win, friends!  I think this was the quickest shaker card I've ever done!
See you over at TSOT - I can't wait to see what you pick!
