 Check out this super cute sketch from Case This Sketch #302 - love this layering! Perfect for closing out 2018! A sketch like this is just crying out to show off some gorgeous paper, and this vibrant Sale-A-Bration DSP that coordinates with several new butterfly sets coming in the Spring Mini (3 more days!!) does NOT disappoint! I chose a soft botanical sheet for my columns, and fussy cut a few fancy butterflies from another sheet - just beautiful. My sentiment is from another SAB goodie, the lovely Part of My Story set, 6 different modern and moving sayings to share with our loved ones, and even new friends. LOVE how this card came out, but still so simple. Happy New Year, everyone - here's to a year of love and creativity for us all! Part of My Story Stamp Set; Botanical Butterfly DSP; Whisper White & Highland Heather CS; Lemon Lime Twist & Basic Black Stampin' Write Markers; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Faceted Dots in Black; #CTS302.

 Check out our wintry cardinal in this week's Sunday Stamps #195 color challenge! Isn't she gorgeous?? Today I let the colors speak to me through another new stamp set I'm super excited about - Vibrant Vases! I love it when we get to play with stamp sets made to go with framelits or punches we already have, as this one does - yippee! This new vase set has new vases AND flowers for us to arrange, along with some lovely new sentiments as well - just right for saying SO much. I can't wait to see what YOU make of our lovely colors this week - see you at the challenge! Vibrant Vases Stamp Set; Whisper White & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Cajun Craze & So Saffron Inks; Vase Builder Punch; Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon; #SSC195.   So glad I get to get in on Just Add Ink #438 - their last challenge of the year! The challenge is for a gift box - yay! The timing of this was perfect - I needed something quick and little for the neighbor kids, who came by to sing for us last night - these girls are so cute! I think one of them has a little crush on hubby, too, shhh... Anyway, I was able to whip up a mini milk carton for each of them (and Mom & Dad, lol) and fill it with Rolo's - a quick little treat to keep the holiday spirit going! I had just been going through my old dies and found this one - an oldie but goodie! I even still have the stamp set that goes with, Got Treats! Thanks for the carols, girls! Got Treats Stamp Set (retired 2011); Under the Mistletoe DSP; Crumb Cake, Whisper White & Old Olive CS; Early Espresso & Real Red Stampin' Write Markers; Bigz L Mini Milk Carton Die (Retired); Layering Squares Framelits; 1/8" Old Olive Taffeta Ribbon; Mini Clothespin; #JAI438.   Love this cute sketch from Paper Craft Crew #319 - they are rocking one last holiday hurrah! So glad I get a chance to sneak yet another set that didn't get enough holiday love from me - Cookie Cutter Christmas! I think my fave image in this one is the adorable reindeer, that I always color up like Rudolph, lol. Today I stamped him on Crumb Cake, colored in his nose with my Blends marker, and made his antlers be all sparkly! Such a fun sketch! Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set; Under the Mistletoe DSP; Silver Glimmer Paper; Whisper White, Real Red & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red Blends Marker; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Christmas Greetings Thinlits (retired); Banner Triple, Small Star (retired) & Cookie Cutter Builder Punch; Dazzling Diamonds Glitter; #PCC319.   Check out these fun layers at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #368! So playful! It looked so playful, in fact, that I decided it was the perfect layout for one of our upcoming Sale-A-Bration sets, So Hoppy Together! And yes, you guessed it, this set is all about frogs, lol. There are three of them, and they have all kinds of toys to go with, too! The one on my card today is actually riding a unicycle, but I snipped him out because I thought he was kind of hopping along fine without it, lol. Gosh, these images remind me so much of the old Mr. Toad illustrations - eek! So Hoppy Together Stamp Set; 2017-19 In Colors DSP (Lemon Lime Twist & Tranquil Tide); Whisper White & Granny Apple Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Granny Apple Green, Pool Party & Call Me Clover Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Granny Apple Green Glimmer Dots; #FMS 368.   Sometimes I actually DON'T want an "anything goes" challenge - I SO need structure, lol, but this week's SU Only #213 anything goes challenge is perfectly timed to sneak in some more new goodies! Today's lucky winner is Nine Lives - a sweet little cat set that coordinates with our already released Cat punch. I have to confess, I never got the original cat bundle - it was more Halloween-themed, and I wasn't sure how much I would use it. But THIS set - yeah, baby! I love that you can dress your kitty up or down, and he comes with toys and treats to play with, too! So fun! Today I made a stripey boy, in memory of my handsome Adso, who we had to let go a couple of weeks ago. Mr. Fabulous was 17, and he WAS the cat's meow - we miss him! Nine Lives Stamp Set; Gray Granite, Whisper White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black. Gray Granite & Real Red Inks; Pinewood Planks DEF; Cat Punch; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Red Sequins; #SUO213.   Pumpkin Club Dec 29!

It seemed to me like our new Birthday Cheer bundle, from the upcoming Spring Occasions Catty, was PERFECT for this theme! The bundle includes a sa-weet set of edgelits to go with - I've shown the cupcakes today! I kept this card bright and simple - and I love this combo of Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana and Mango Melody! The cupcakes were super easy: I ran a strip of black though with the edgelit, glued it down over my white background, and then colored in the spaces with my Stampin' Write markers - so quick! Birthday Cheer Stamp Set; Poppy Parade, Coastal Cabana, Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; White EP; Poppy Parade, Mango Melody & Coastal Cabana Stampin' Write Markers; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Detailed Birthday Edgelits; Coastal Cabana Glimmer Dots; Bermuda Bay Taffeta Ribbon; #ICC033.

The Sisterhood of Crafters has a fun year-end theme for us this round - create a Winter scene! Perfect! This seems like a great chance to ink up our wonderful Farmhouse Christmas set once more before the big day, lol. This set has so many great elements along with the framelits - I think I get a little touch of over-embellish-itis every time I use it, lol. I tried to spread my images out a little bit more - hopefully t doesn't look TOO crowded, but you know, snowy streets are extra narrow! Farmhouse Christmas Stamp Set; Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper; Whisper White, Gray Granite, Basic Black, Real Red, Old Olive & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red & Pool Party Inks; Real Red, Old Olive, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Pool Party & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Layering Ovals & Farmhouse Framelits; #TSOCWinterScene.

So excited about this week's "resist" technique challenge at Back to Basics & Beyond #18! For me, when I think of resist, I think of sponge daubing over heat-embossed images - this creates such a softly colored look. For the first time, I decided to try it over a metallic emboss - usually I do it over white. I get to break in another new stamp set, too - the gorgeous All That You Are floral set - it's beautiful! And I love the sentiments in it - very gracious! I went all pastel on this one, and I love the look of the gold, too. Can't wait to try coloring this one in with markers, too! All That You Are Stamp Set; Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron, Whisper White & Petal Pink CS; Versamark, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Petal Pink & Calypso Coral Inks; Gold EP; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Faceted Dots; #BBB18.
