Here's another card for my Espanol box! This year's awesome Holiday DSP Candlelight Christmas included a flocked window sheet - I am always stumped by how to use those! I tried my hand at this simple layout for a quick and discreet float of color over a natural background. I had to be creative about my pop dot placement, so that none of them showed! Maybe windowed cookie boxes are in order for the rest! Al Punto (Easy Events) stamp set; Crumb Cake, Whisper White & Lucky Limeade CS; flocked window sheet from Candlelight Christmas DSP; Stitched Grosgrain in Whisper White.

Clean & Simple #210 was another stumper for me! Refraining from embellishment is SO hard! I just want to dress those designs up to the nines, you know? I felt like my three little pearls was very restrained, compared with how I WANTED to go, hee hee! That makes this week's sentiment all the more relevant for me, I guess, go figure... Less dressing up - more substance! Naturals Ivory & Pool Party CS; Spice Cake (retired) DSP; Our Daily Bread Scripture Collection #5, self-adhesive pearls. Well, I was going for a few things on this one, made for Freshly Made Sketch #55, and I think I might have done a tiny bit too much! Objective 1: Use up as much retired DSP as possible. OK, but we're looking kind of busy here, even though purple and green were made to go together! Objective 2: Add to the birthday card box, stocks are running low. Check! Objective 3: Use the I Am... stamp set as much as possible before I have to give it back! Double check! With all this achieved, I also threw in conquering my fear of square cards. Almost there! I Am... & Happiest Birthday Wishes (retired) stamp sets; Pink Pirouette, Whisper White & Elegant Eggplant (I'm out of Concord Crush, finally) CS; Cheerful Treat (retired) DSP; Labels Collection & Bitty Banners framelits; Glimmer In Color brads (retired). Stampin Up! is trying out something new! You can now buy single pieces from these select stamp sets: Word Play, Perfectly Penned, and Seasonal Sayings.

It's been a tough week around here - I'm still standing, but woo, treading water is starting to wear on me! You know what you gotta do when it's like that? Go to the chickens. Instant pick-me-up, with lots of clucking. And coloring. VERY therapeutic! All my sketch gurus have to get clucked at least once, anyway - Fab Friday 03, it's just your turn! Best of Cluck (retired) & Chicken Wire (retired) stamp sets; Whisper White, Basic Gray, Real Red and More Mustard CS; Labels Collection framelits.
