What a lovely match-up for this week's Retro Sketch #127 and In{k}spire Me's #159! When I see this kind of color array, it's hard not to think immediately of the totally awesome Flower Patch stamp set - so crazy versatile and easy to use! It totally feels like cheating, but it's also SO easy to make "home-made DSP" with it, too. And of course, the matching framelit set is just the jewel in the crown at that point... I loved translating this sketch into the a "Flower Patch" - gorgeous! Flower Patch Stamp Set; Whisper White, Smoky Slate & Pear Pizzazz CD; Soft Sky, Smoky Slate, Blushing Bride & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Flower Fair & Project Life Cards & Labels Framelits; Basic Jewel Pearls.

I really like the off-set layers in this week's Freshly Made Sketch #148 - reminds me of a sideways polaroid! And wouldn't you know it, I have a framelit for that! This seems like a good time to use my Snapshot stamp, too - SO fun to color in using the Blendas! I pretty much followed a coloring example I found in the catty - but I love the gradation I got our of it... Seemed like a fun pairing with the Bravo stamp set, too - I had a hard time picking out which sentiment I wanted to use! In the end, I went with one that looked like I could fussy cut pretty easily... Bravo & Snapshot Stamp Sets; Lullaby DSP; Baked Brown Sugar, Coastal Cabana & Whisper White CS; Baked Brown Sugar & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana & Smoky Slate Blendabilities; On Film Framelits; Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder; Basic Jewel Rhinestones.

Loving the combo of shapes and layers in this week's Nacho Average Challenge #101! While I knew I wanted to play with new DSPs today, I decided to pull out an older stamp set - but still current! From My Heart has such sweet sentiments in it, though I admit, it was all about the teapot when I first got it, lol... These fancy shapes just beg to be embossed, in my opinion, and of course, that makes them a snap to be aqua-painted after! Yay! From My Heart Stamp Set; Crisp Cantaloupe, Whisper White, Garden Green & Pistachio Pudding CS; Gold Soiree Specialty DSP; Versamark, Garden Green, Calypso Coral & Pistachio Pudding Inks; Gold Embossing Powder; Labels Collection Framelits; Regals Candy Dots in Garden Green.

Look at those lovely scallops on this week's Clean & Simple #302! Oo, let's play with that! Boutique Borders gives me the perfect stamp for scallop shenanigans - and one that's easy to stamp multiple times to really cover the space, thanks to the photopolymer! I think I'm really getting the hang of stamping without a SAMJ (but I still love my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig!) now - and one secret is to use a block that gives you lots of block room around the edges, so you can really pinpoint where the edges of your image are. When you try to use a block that's too small, the curve of the block obscures right where you need to see! On this card, I stamped FOUR TIMES to get the coverage I wanted, and I totally can't see where I had the edges meet! Woo!

What a great way to play with dimension and layers at this week's Fab Friday #47 - what shapes can I use instead? Well, something with framelits, of course! And that coordinates with a new stamp set from the 2014 Holiday Catalog? Bonus points! I have a feeling that I'll be embossing this set in gold and silver a lot, so I wanted to try these in some colors... So I have to say, I think I've settled on my favorite Christmas colors this year already - lucky for me, there's a whole suite of products in this scheme winging its way to me even now - I can't wait!

It's good to get back on track with this week's Merry Monday #120 - Use Skis, Skates or a Sled - I totally dropped the ball last week! This week's theme is a tough one for me - I'll have to try the Room of Retirement, sigh... Well, I found two stamp sets I still have that I could use - not including 25 & Counting... Hm, Snow Buddies or Greeting Card Kids?? Always choices... So, I decided that it would be fun to try coloring this cute little girl with the blendas - gorgeous!

What a fun and cheery sketch at this week's Retro Sketch # 126! I think I'm going to have to play with some blossoms, even though I like to go rogue so much, usually! So, I love the amazing new photopolymer set, Flower Patch - so many pieces to play with and arrange and re-arrange! Something I've noticed, though, is how I totally turn into a color freak with it - all those pieces get their own color, and they add up fast! It just comes out so elegant, though, whether you two-step-stamp it, or layer using all the amazing framelits that come in the accompanying Flower Fair Framelit set. Just gorgeous. And of course, the sentiments that come with it are just perfect. Ahhhh, floral gorgeousness!

LOVE the tag element in this week's In{k}spire Me #158 - perfect for highlighting a special sentiment! This quote is a favorite at my church - it was sweet to find it in stamp form, finally. I tried to keep this card subtle and simple, with a slightly different color range for me. I so love this wavy lines stamp I used, too - Chalk Lines, the stamp set, is becoming one of my faves, and the photopolymer makes it SO easy to place!

Big Blog Happenings over at Nacho Average Challenge #100 this week - the Big 100! Woo Hoo! Congrats, ladies, on keeping us all well-fed on Nachos for a whole 100 challenges - awesome achievement! Since we got to pick any challenge we wanted, I went back to before I started playing regularly, and selected NAC #43 - love the banner shape, always! Putting together the stamps I knew I wanted to use on this card, I was having a bit of trouble picking colors (I know, weird, right?) so I decided to go with all of them, lol...
