Fresh For You

10/31/2016

Love that flagged layer at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #260! I can't wait to try it in Nacho Average Challenge #183's cool colors!
After a bit of poking around, I found I haven't inked up the lovely You've Got This set in a while - and this flower is so fun to add color to, I had to give it a go in these colors. You know that "any shape" idea is my siren song, right? I decided to use some sweet words from the Here For You set - I think my fave sentiment set right now... Simple and sweet, just how I like it!

Uh oh, Global Design Project #59's theme is animals or pets this week. I think I hear a little clucking! Do you?? And look at that! Stamp Ink Paper #71 gave me chicken colors! Yes!
Ah, it's a truly fine day when Best of Cluck gets to come out for a visit - All the birds got to get inky today while I played, lol. In the end I went with the triplets here, and had a fabulous relaxing time coloring away! Thanks, girls! You look awesome!

Love the simple and dramatic sketch from Sunday Stamps #138 this week! It also gives me a wide open field to pull in What Will You Stamp #87's Labeler Alphabet Challenge! Yay!
OK, time to break out the Christmas carols, I think! Sing to me, Bing! Lol, well, that IS what was running through my head the whole time I was making this card! You should have seen me doing the inside backwards - yes, it took two tries, til I wrote it down, lol. I so can't wait for Christmas!

Yes - it's Fabulous Friday! #99, that is - check out our cute sketch! Today I'm combining it with Merry Monday #219's bird challenge...
OK, so, a penguin is a bird, right? That's what Skipper tells me, anyway! I really seem to be hitting up my penguins this year - they just look so snuggly in their scarves, which is a perfect segueway to the AWESOME new Cable Knit EF! Oo la la! Now, I still have the old tabbed platform, so it took me a sec to figure out which setting was right for me (Tab 1 with a top plate only, for those that wonder!) but it was all smooth sailing from there!
I can't wait to see what you make of our Fab sketch this week - see you over at the challenge!

I really want to give this crazy spatter sketch a try from Case This Sketch #195! Wild!
I decided to go pretty literal today - bring on the grunge! I did opt for a holiday theme, because I just received a new order from the Holiday catty that I need to break in! Merriest Wishes goes with one of our new and amazing tag bundles - so many gifting opportunities this year! Yay! But check it out - works on a card, too, lol...

Another super-cute sketch from Create With Connie & Mary #429 this week? And wouldn't you know - it's also Pumpkin Day - every Wednesday I try to create a card using our Paper Pumpkin kits, past and present! Yay!
I decided to day to make a quick and simple card, for a dear dear friend, who's been absent lately, for bereavement. I know she's grieving, and I so want her to have the space to be present for that, and for her family, but I also want her to know how much I think of her, every day, and miss her. I hope this cheerful card is gentle enough... Peace to you, dear one.

What a cute banded background at Match the Sketch #147! I think I'll try it with this challenging color combo from Pals Paper Arts #323!
So, is anyone else out there a Food Network fan? I am. And this is the time of year that the baking shows and contests go CRAZY! There's even a new "Worst Bakers" show, that I happened to binge watch 3 episodes of last night. I got a little behind because a certain Cubs fan has been hogging the TV lately, know what I mean? Anyway, after all that terrible baking, I had to make a pretty cake today, lol. Yes, I would TOTALLY eat all this cake!

I love the banded background detail on this week's Freshly Made Sketch #259! I'm going to add in some ideas inspired from Card Concept #60, too!
So, I decided to have a visit with my pretty Thoughtful Branches suite - so fun! I stamped the leaves in Tangerine Tango, and then over-stamped with some Crushed Curry, too. I tried to keep things fairly clean and spare, but couldn't resist adding this little row of pumpkins from Spooky Fun, lol. So I was inspired by the colors and the Fall theme of the concept pic, and I think I might be clean and layered with my card? So fun to try to categorize my final product!

Try Stampin' on Tuesday #293 has another lovely
sketch for us today!
Boy, I really found this sketch more complicated that I had quite first realized, lol. In a pinch, I seem to be falling back pretty heavily on my Serene Scenery DSP, and then building from there! Today I was struck by combing some of the sentiments from Sunshine Sayings, too - they really seem like a natural companion for these papers!

I love today's blocky sketch from Global Design Project #58! It's going to be perfect to showcase the plaid theme at this week's Merry Monday #218!
So, I have to once again go back to my hoarded Merry Moments DSP to get some plaid going, lol. That's it, I'm breaking down and ordering something new and fun today! Still, I haven't fallen out of love with these bright colors over Whisper White, which are a perfect foil for the retro Be Jolly, By Golly stamp set. I had to add some touches of silver to finish the theme, lol...
