WOW! I don't know about you, but I think hitting our 100th challenge at Fab Friday is a BIG DEAL! Am I going to see you there? I'm adding in Retro Sketch #239 to mine! I know when I first saw our colors this week, I pulled out my Petals & Paisleys suite, thinking that'd be the natural choice. But, I didn't really want to go all vanilla today, so I opted for a touch of DSP that features all Rich Razzleberry. I also figured that Acorny Thank You gives an excellent chance to really mix it up with colors, so out they came! I can't wait to see your entries this week - yay 100! Acorny Thank You & Banners For You Stamp Sets; Petals & Paisleys DSP; Whisper White & Rich Razzleberry CS; Rich Razzleberry, Delightful Dijon & Mint Macaron Inks; Bunch of Banners Framelits; Scallop Border (retired) & Acorn Builder Punches; Gold Cording Trim; Mint Macaron Enamel Dots. Christmas Cards 2016 Part 2 Class Nov 13! OK, here we go! Christmas Cards 2016 Part 2 is ready to go! Here you'll find everything we wanted to play with from the Holiday Catty for cards!

Another tilty sketch, this time from Case This Sketch #197! Love it! So, this seemed like a good chance to break out my last new set from On Stage Phoenix - the set I won in Prize Patrol - woo hoo! These stamps are from a lovely set called Beautiful You, and featured three lovely pen and ink sketch-type stamps, with accompanying sort of feminine sentiments. Not a style I've worked with before, but since I won it, I HAD to give it a try! I decided the dancing figure would look pretty dramatic against a sea-shore background - cool! Beautiful You Stamp Set; Serene Scenery DSP; Whisper White & Island Indigo CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Delightful Dijon & Bermuda Bay Inks; Blush Blossom Marker (retired); Softly Falling EF.

Love this little string of shapes on this week's Create With Connie & Mary #431! So wouldn't you just know it - this sketch is PERFECT for another preview stamp set I received at On Stage Phoenix on Saturday - Cool Treats! I'm surprised my event bag didn't spontaneously combust, I was so excited to get home and get some ink on this baby! When I first saw it, I was stoked to think that our make-n-take samples would revolve around this one, but, actually, we got to preview and play with even more new stuff, so I'll just have to keep the suspense on a slow burn - sorry! Two extra notes: YES, Wink of Stella is totally amazing on this set, it just doesn't photograph well; and DING DING DING! I fussy-cut this card, but the set also has a framelit set that adds even more awesomeness to it - can't wait to get my hands on THAT, too! Cool Treats Stamp Set; Tip Top Taupe & Whisper White CS; Tip Top Taupe, Peekaboo Peach, Bermuda Bay, Chocolate Chip, Watermelon Wonder, Cucumber Crush & Sweet Sugarplum Inks; Clear Wink of Stella.

Check out this lovely inspiration picture from Card Concept #61! Time to step out of my comfort zone! I decided to give a pure Clean and Simple style a try - argh - so hard! I tried to leave a lot of white space, kept to one layer, very minimal embellishments, even minimal color. Whew - a pretty major exercise in self-restraint for me, let me tell you! BUT, I did reward myself by using a brand new stamp set that will be available in the upcoming Occasions Mini catty, that I received at On Stage Phoenix this past Saturday - All Things Thanks. It's a perfect collection of thank you sentiments - can't wait for you all to see more! I was inspired by the colors and the flowers from the inspiration pic, I'm required to say by the challenge, lol.

I'm so happy with this week's wonderful landscape layout at Freshly Made Sketch #261 - I've been neglecting those lately I think! Another area I've been neglecting lately is scripture, lol. With a nice open field to fill, I decided to add that facet as well! This quote from Timothy 11 is one I need lots of reminding on lately - quick, someone mail me this card!!

What a fun challenge idea at this week's Merry Monday #220 - how will we decorate our door? This was a pretty simple for me - I ran straight for the Christmas Pines suite! Here in the desert, we tend towards artificial trees inside, sadly, because it's so dry a live tree wouldn't last three days. Now, I'm one of those that gets out all the decor the day after Thanksgiving, and doesn't put it away til after New Year's (poor Thanksgiving only gets three weeks here, lol). But I do miss the lovely Christmas smells of the live trees of my back-East childhood. Luckily, the Boy Scouts save me, with live greenery for all our doors, inside and out! I usually buy 4 or five swags, and dress 'em up, for Christmas-scented goodness, some for downstairs and some up. Ahhh, it's almost time!

I'm so excited that I have the stamp set being featured over at What Will You Stamp #88 - Totally Trees! Think I'll use Stamp Ink Paper #72's sketch to help me along! Lately I've developed a personal rule (or more of a guideline) that I try to follow - I try to stay away from stamp sets that are all images or all sentiments. I get the most use out of those that have a little a both. But (of course) as soon as I saw Totally Trees, my "guideline" went out the window! I loved the way it was meant to build all he different trees, with some retro coloring options, too! Good thing I have plenty of other guideline-breakers in the sentiment department, too... Totally Trees & Me = Grateful Stamp Sets; Into the Woods DSP (retired); Whisper White & Old Olive CS; Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Old Olive & Tangerine Tango Inks; Tangerine Tango Candy Dots (retired).

Lots of fun layers at this week's Retro Sketch #239! Well, the totally adorable Foxy Friends hasn't been out to play in a while, has it? Playing with this suite is so fun, especially when you get to throw in the super-cute DSP stack that goes with it - A Little Foxy has so many fun patterns! I pretty much played it straight to the sketch, but I did get out my Labeler Alphabet to make the inside sentiment! Good times!

Check out that tiled layout in this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #294! Whew, my first glance at this sketch was that it was a DOOZY! I tried to keep it simple, and reduce it to the basic block shapes, with a nice circle to set off the center. This worked for me! And gave me a chance to show off my tasty new Candy Cane Lane DSP, too, lol. Yum! Santa LOVES candy!

OK, this week's Case This Sketch #196 is PERFECT for Pumpkin Wednesday! Yeah, baby! I really didn't add too much outside supplies for this card, just a couple pieces of Very Vanilla. I did decide, though, that those envelope insides are just too pretty to waste! Not too sure how many will survive to actually BE envelopes, lol. Something else I love about this kt is that there are THREE, count 'em, THREE different sizes sequins! I'm not sure why this is so exciting to me - it just is, lol... The gorgeous color mix might also be a factor... Season of Gratitude Paper Pumpkin Kit; Very Vanilla CS. Christmas Cards 2016 Part 2 Class Nov 10 & 13! OK, here we go!
