Halloween Baking Championship

OK, this is a BRILLIANT challenge at AAA #125 this week!  Create a clean and simple card inspired by a TV show!!  Cool!!
So, we don't watch TOO much TV around here, but when I need to sit and veg out, folks that know me know I'm a HUGE Food Network fan, lol.  We are kicking off my favorite shows right now - starting with Halloween Baking Championship, then on through Thanksgiving and Christmas.  The Halloween one is so fun, because the judges all wear costumes for part of the segment - and it's usually pretty hilarious, lol.  So, just when I thought I'd have to admit defeat for thinking of something TV related, I came across  my old Birthday Bakery set, and the jack o' lantern came on!  Yay!  I staggered my bakery rows with some stamp-a-ma-jig help, and tried to just pick out a few to color - hope I can still slide this as clean and simple!

Very cool - look at all these pretty flags to play with at this week's As You See It #186!  I think I can also make this work for CAS on Friday #143's "thank you" challenge - can never have too many of those!
Clean and simple is always a challenge for me, sigh, I tried REAL hard this time, lol!  I started with my All Things Thanks stamp set - I got this set right away when it came out because I'm a huge thank you card maker.  Somehow, though, now that I've graduated out of PTO, I don't seem to make as many as I used to - argh!  So I haven't actually used this set much.  I went for the biggest stamp in the set, and then for my fave new bright colors for the flags.  I just think they look so good together!  I even ran the zig-zag stitching across the top - I almost never stay this literal for a sketch, lol.  I tried to resist the glimmer dots, but, alas, they won, lol.

Check out our cute sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #381!  Time to break out some pretty borders!  I'm slipping in Just Add Ink #429's vellum challenge, too - fun!
I decided to dig through my retired paper stash to get started on this one - and guess what?  I still have a couple Tutti-Frutti notecards and envelopes!  So I pulled out the Tutt-Frutti DSP, too, lol, and added a vellum layer over that!  At that point, I started looking for an image that would fit well in the floating square space, and settled on one of our adorable pups from Bella & Friends.  I can just see this little rascal tearing around!  I hope you have some fun with this playful sketch - see you over at the challenge!

Love this fresh and fruity color challenge from Just Add Ink #428!
When I started browsing for likely candidates for these colors, I noticed I hadn't pulled out Eastern Beauty in a while - perfect!  I knew I really wanted to play with all the teeny little accents pieces, and keep the base die-cut image intact, instead of cut out and layered like I always do.  I SO like how this came out, why did it take me so long to try this??  These colors are perfect for it, and I love to feature Lemon Lime Twist, of course, can you tell, lol??  Such a fun stampin' day!

We have a collection of brilliant Fall colors for you at this week's Sunday Stamps #189!  I think CAS-ual Fridays #209 will be perfect for helping me along, too!
With these colors, I couldn't help but out Blended Seasons one more time - I love this little spray of blowing leaves - I masked off one stray to make them a perfect fit for corners!  I did some more aqua-painting today, too, I think it's a good look for leaves.  I snuck in some Pool Party accents for the blue, and finished with some gold pearls - so elegant.
So, what do you think of for our colors?  I hope I get to see at the challenge!

I'm loving the sketch at this week's Fusion Baby Shower challenge!
I've slowed down on the baby sets these days, but one set I DO have is the gorgeous Wonderful Moments, which pairs so beautifully with last year's Beautiful You (still available!)  I haven't used this lovely image of the expecting mother - it's been all about balloon lady so far, lol.  Today was the perfect chance!  I paired it with the soft Twinkle Twinkle DSP, and took my colors from that for a soft baby card in neutrals.  Very simple and true to the suggested layout...

It's nice to see The Sisterhood of Crafters "Fall is in the Air" theme - yay for cooler weather!
I can't help but think of gratitude and thanks when I think of Fall - an American association with Thanksgiving, I suppose, lol.  Today I really wanted to use the "other" flowers in my Country Home set - I haven't used the cotton boles once!  I kept the coloring fairly autumnal and added my smaller "gratitude sentiment - it all looks very Country over my woodgrain background!  Crazy fussy cutting again - but so worth it!

So excited that Hand-Stamped Sentiments #299 has Gorgeous Grape in their color challenge this week - one of my new faves, lol!  I also decided to use Freshly Made Sketch #356 to help me along, even though I can't post in time to actually PLAY there, sigh.  Shhh...
With this colors, I decided I wanted a lot of white space to set them off, and I of course wanted to do something fun with the shapes of the sketch.  I eventually ended up on Crafting Forever - love these little scissors and their sentiment!    I also featured Gorgeous Grape a little bit more than the other two color, because, well, GORGEOUS!  Enjoy!

I'm really digging this "sunrise" sketch from Retro Rubber #96!
With the sketch in mind, I went and perused the Shelves of Retirement - such a fun past-time to walk down Memory Lane!  I love the chance Retro Rubber gives me to, um, justify, hanging on to some oldies but goodies, lol.  Anyway, the nice round shape on the sketch kept drawing me back to 2012's Jewish Celebrations - LOVE the artwork in this one!  I wish we could get a really robust new Judaic set, though even if we did, I'm pretty sure I'd still hang on to this beauty, lol.  Shalom, my friends!

We're pretty excited about our Try Stampin' on Tuesday October Technique challenge - add stitching!  So many ways to accomplish this these days - make sure to check out our ideas!
For myself, I knew I wanted to combine two - the easiest of course being our awesome Stitched Shapes framelits!  I use these hands-down the most of any framelits or thinlits I have.  I love that it gives a "layered" effect with only one sheet really - so nifty!  I also wanted to add some machine stitching - I have a blunter needle for my machine that I save just for paper.  My advice?  Go slow and use the largest stitch length you can!
Anyway, I was able to marry my two stitch-types with my new favorite Santa from So Santa.  I was giggling the whole time I was coloring him - I don't usually have to color in quite so much skin on the jolly old elf - if you know what I mean, lol.
I hope we've inspired you to give some stitching a try - see you at the challenge!
