Summer is in full swing over at the Sisterhood of Crafters "play ball" challenge! So, I keep the venerable Have a Ball set around for all my sporting needs - I think this baby is from 2007! I'd update it if something close to how awesome this set is came along, but I'm still waiting! I've gone with a baseball theme today, since we just finished All Stars not too far back, and my hubby is faithfully following his beloved Cubbies for the season, lol. I did a mixed background panel, and then matched it with Praiseworthy Prose - this sentiment seems perfectly sporty to me! I'll drop it in the kids section of my cards for sale, I think. So fun to give this oldie and goodie some field time again! Have a Ball (retired 2007) & Praiseworthy Prose Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Real Red & Soft Suede CS; Soft Suede, Real Red & Crumb Cake Inks; Rectangle Stitched & Hand Lettered Prose Dies; #TSOCPlayBall.

Time to party - SU Only #226 is hosting a birthday challenge this week - woo hoo! I have to admit, when I think birthdays, I can't help but think of cake, lol, so out came our adorable Piece of Cake set! Who wouldn't love to get a fancy birthday cake like this??

Now that we're in the new catty, but I'm still waiting for my first order, lol, my pickins' are slim!

I decided to feature another retiring set - today it's teh Eastern Beauty bundle. I've had so much fun with one, building delicate and colorful patterns and designs - I love all the tiny detail pieces to play with! The gorgeous Eastern Medallions thinlits really take this one over the top, too, I squeezed in one little shape to show those off, too!

I don't get to make these too often! You know, I actually have a few sets to go for the babies these days, but I couldn't help go for A Little Wild for this one - I just love putting an elephant butt on the envelope, I guess, lol! I tried to stay true to the CAS mandate, I think I might actually be getting better at it! I still couldn't resist a few tiny sparklies, though...

This class will highlight 6 all-occasion cards all featuring different elements of our amazing collections, even pulling in a few Sale-A-Bration items I saved just for this! Class includes all supplies needed (bring your own snips and fave adhesive!), drinks, snacks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Thursday, April 11 at 630 pm or Saturday, April 13 at 3 pm! RSVP today to save your spot - hope you can flutter on by! Lovely - CAS on Friday #152 has a fun vellum challenge for us this week - yay! For some reason, I really was stuck on wanting to use my Dragonfly Dreams for this one today - by hook or by crook! I though originally that I'd do something with the pretty little "spray" of dragonflies in the thinlit set, but it just didn't look how I'd envisioned, sigh. Then I realized that I could make an embossed vellum background for a larger one - I LOVE embossing vellum, and the bonus is that you can usually hide the adhesive pretty well somewhere in all that texture! I settled on my beloved Layered Leaves folder, over Pear Pizzazz, and stamped a lovely detailed dragonfly to go on top. Hopefully this is CAS enough! Dragonfly Dreams Stamp Set; Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz & Vellum CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Soft Sea Foam Inks; Layered Leaves DEF; Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits; Faceted Dots; #CASOF152. Man Cards 2019 Yay! It's finally time for THE class for the men in our life! Sometimes it can be a little tough to "go manly" for our guys, but this class guarantees something for all our dudes! This class will feature 6 all-occasion "man" cards, without a doily or a butterfly in sight, lol. You'll have your choice of sentiments that most suit your needs, too! Class is $25, and provides all supplies (bring your own snips and fave adhesive!), drinks, snacks and a special gift from me! You can also take this class for FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP today! Class is on for Thursday, March 14 at 630 pm, or Saturday, March 16 at 3 pm. See you there! Check out this fun tiled sketch we have for you at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #393! So, even though we didn't SAY the squares could be any shape, I'm just going to act like we did, lol - gotta go off trail sometimes, right? I decided I wanted to do 8 of something, and I realized that the pretty X and O heart in our sorely missed Takeout Treats would be perfect - there's even a sweet sentiment to go with! And of course, the Takeout Thinlits have the heart shape included, along with that cute little 3D banner - I love it when a plan comes together! So, what will YOU create?? Can't wait to check it out over at the challenge!

This woodsy colored sheet with just a touch of shimmer is another fave from this set, and I love the watercolor look, too.
