Birthday Blast

Love this landscape sketch from Match the Sketch #157 - bringing in the new year!
Some of the design team samples gave me the idea for building a background for that banner - enter one last sneaky peek, Birthday Blast!  This set also has some coordinating edgelits - Star Blast!  I had some fun fitting in all the little bits and bobs on this one, so I could show off some possibilities, lol.  There are some shapes I didn't get to, but I think you can get the idea here...  I can't wait to try some box decor with this, too!

It is SO fitting that my final challenge of 2016 will be this New Year's challenge from In{k}spire Me #281! Wahoo!
So, I actually still had the retired Making Spirits Bright stamp set still on my desk from a post earlier this week, and one of my fave combos in that set is the bubbly stuff, lol.   Seemed a natural to ink it up again and celebrate the New Year with champagne!
Happy, happy New Year, everyone!  Be safe, and enjoy yourselves!

Fresh Marquee

Today's sketch comes from Freshly Made Sketch #268 - love it!
Taking in the shapes of this sketch, I decided to pull out my vibrant Marquee Messages set.  I wanted to also use a fun DSP, so I went to the new (preview alert!) Succulent Garden DSP, and took my colors in general from there.  It's so funny, I've used this DSP a couple times now, and I'm using all the off-patterned sides, because I just love the colors, but, shh, I didn't get the stamp that goes with it.  Maybe I should rethink that, lol...  Like I need an excuse!  This is also the first time I have "painted" the coloring on this focal image - usually I have paper-pieced it.  I like this subtler look!

Today's fun sketch is from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #302 - cuteness! I think this sketch offers some great possibilities to go with What Will You Stamp #96's Here's to Cheers challenge!
I think a little New Year's cheer is is order, don't you? I'm going with blues and silver, though I had to turn the sketch sideways to get everything to fit, lol... Layering Circles Framelits really help add just the touches of sparkle I need, too!

I love Nacho Average Challenge #187's challenge pic this week - perfect for bringing on the "holiday fun," too!
In our family, holidays are really all about the food. Come on, you know it is for you, too! And we all have our special dishes: Christmas Toffee (fondly called Christmas Crack by all the neighbors), Welsh Cakes, Sausage Rolls, Brie en Croute, Crab Dip, Peanut Butter Cookies, Homemade Marshmallows, Spicy Pretzels - the list goes on! Thank goodness we can spread some of them out to New Year's, too, lol! Today's card is in the spirit of the Christmas Kitchen - good times!

No Zombie Bunnies, Please

OK, I think the timing is good for Stamp Ink Paper #79's Anything BUT Christmas theme this week, lol. Let's have a little break!
And wouldn't you just know it, my awesome new Easter suite, Basket Bunch, came JUST in time to play - yay!! With all these amazing Basket Builder Framelits, I just knew I had to play with a range of pieces, but, I really couldn't get away from this sentiment. Here in Arizona "May all your chocolate be solid" is of especial interest, lol. It was a hundred degrees out all the way through November this year, for Pete's sake - rough times even for around here, lol. SO, let's not have any zombie bunnies this year. OK?

So Very Trees

Today's awesome theme comes from Global Design Project #67 - Trees!
I'm so glad to get another chance to use my now-retiring Totally Trees set! This time, I took my sentiment from another sneaky-peek set - Sale-A-Bration's So Very Much, with has a gorgeous giant swoopy font to play with, lol. I really tried to play with a style I actually don't dabble in much: off-kilter layers, and a touch of ragged washi in the corners. This looks so cobbled together to me, lol, and of course, I had to toss on a few sequins just so you'd know it was really me, but still, when I walk away and come back again, this card is actually growing on me. I'll have to keep dabbling, I think!

How perfectly fitting that today's challenge comes to us from Merry Monday #227 - Christmas Cheer!
I couldn't resist unearthing some oldies but goodies for today's card - starting with now-retired Making Spirits Bright. So fun to color and dress up - I added some extra holly leaves from my old Stocking Accents Die, too. A tiny bit of subtle sparkle with my gold Wink of Stella, and I'm all set.
Enjoy this wonderful day, dear ones - Merry, merry Christmas. God's peace to us all.

Today's lovely sketch is brought to us by Can You Case It #143!
Hm, so I think I'll jump ahead to Valentine's Day for this sketch, Because I just LOVE the new Sealed With Love suite in the 2017 Occasions catty! So many cute hearts, fonts and patterns to play with! The little wooden embellishments are adorable, too - I think I'm just getting warmed up for this set!

Another fun sketch from Sunday Stamps Challenge #142 - they call it "sealed with a sketch" - how cute is that??  Totally gives me an idea...
"Just Keep Swimming" is a new set in the 2017 Occasions catty that I consider a real hidden gem. How fun is it to build your own little monsters, gummy bears or fishies? Totally cute, and I couldn't wait to ink up my very own hairy purple monster, lol. I finally landed on the right combo of stamping and stamping off, and I'm thrilled with the final result. I'm also quite pleased at the Rich Razzleberry-Sweet Sugarplum color combo - yum!
