We have a fabulous sketch for you this week ay Sunday Stamps #290 - such fun layers!
I had another new set on my desk to play with today - introducing Cheerful Basket! This cute set has a big beautiful harvest basket, with a variety of contents to add - and all so colorable, lol. I chose the apples (having an apple week, it seems, lol) and get well sentiment again, I must have a subliminal craving going! these choices paired well with our still-available SAB paper, Rings of Love. I haven't used this plaid sheet much yet! Just happy with this cheerful card!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this sketch - come and play along!

Apple Harvest

So excited to play again at NBUS #41 this month - I have a little pile of new goodies that need a prompt!
I couldn't resist inking up my brand new Apple Harvest bundle today. I was totally gonna let this one get away from me, but then our Perfect Partners special hit - and there were dies! That was enough to tip the balance for me, lol, especially when I realized I could get a regular bundle price - win win! There are several awesome apple images in this set - today I played with this sweet branch, and added a few extra blossoms, too. The get well sentiment is a natural fit with apples, right?

Such a cool theme at this week's Cardz 4 Guyz #301 - "recycle something!"
It took me a little while to realize I had just the thing! A month or so ago, I won a gift bundle from Lawn Fawn - (Shhh! Stamps AND dies!) The cute bundle I picked arrived promptly - and it was tied up with this pretty green and blue twine! Say, that looks pretty darn close to our new Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, I remember thinking. Anyway, I thriftily wound it up and tossed it into the catch-all embellie box that lives on my desk. So glad I remembered it! And what fun playing with my newly acquired Tech Support set - this cuteness does SO compute!

Annual Catty Roundup Class, Aug 13 at 2 PM
I couldn't resist this catch-all class to "round up" some stamp sets that don't quite fit in our other classes, lol. There will be a little bit of everything, with at least 5 all-occasion cards with envelopes today! I think some Sale-A-Bration could sneak in, too, lol! Class includes all supplies needed for your projects (bring your own fave snips and adhesive!) plus snacks and drinks, and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is announced for Saturday, August 13 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot!

Ringed With Nature

Excellent timing - Less is More #466 is running a "masculine" theme this week!
I still have a stack of preorder items to play with out on my desk, so I did a pass through them for any likely "masculine" themes, lol. I settled on Ringed With Nature, which has so many accessories! There's dies, a hybrid embossing folder, and a DSP pack, Ringed With Love, in Sale-A-Bration. Since this is for LIM, I stuck with stamps and dies, lol. I did a little bit of corner detail backed by the tree rings stamp, and did a little paper-pieced branchlet with an acorn. Fun! At the last second, I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to finish things off. So maybe not as "Less" as I could have been, lol!

Oh gosh, now I'm getting hungry! I hope you like our soft and sweet colors this week at Sunday Stamps #281!
I tried hard to steer away from the food sets for this one, lol. I finally settled on the lovely Nature's Harvest set, which also coordinates with this beautiful Heart & Home DSP (I love ALL the woodgrain sides!) and has the stunning Harvest dies as well. I don't think I can ever have too many of these perfectly detailed stems! They look sweet and supportive in our Sunday colors, along with this elegant "healing thoughts" sentiment. So soothing...
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our sweet colors - meet you there!

Aw, what a great theme at this week's CAS on Friday #222 - "feel better!"
I love this sentiment in our Inspired Thoughts bundle, perfect for a get well, but the amazing tree dies are not very in keeping with the CAS theme, sigh. However, I could add a simple little tree from Beauty of Friendship that's just right! Yay! I kept it super clean and simple, but I had to add a couple Brushed Brass Butterflies to finish - they just flew right on, lol. This ended up being a super quick card, too, handy!

Lovely - a fun Fall "recipe" from this week's As You See It #257 - let's cook!
I knew right away I'd go for the lovely die-cut wheat stems in our new Harvest dies - love these! So then it was just a question of how to arrange the rest of the "ingredients!" Our Pansy Petals DSP has several colors of gingham check paper, so I went with this gorgeous Soft Succulent sheet, which looks perfect over the Crumb Cake background! I used our now-retired Pinewood Planks for my embossing folder, snuck in a little twine behind this sweet sentiment from the accompanying Nature's Harvest, and finished with some Brushed Metallic Dots. So far, I have loved every card I've made with this bundle - so versatile!

The Cone of Shame

Goodness, we have quite a tall order from this week's Time Out Challenge #188! Household goods AND embossing? Eee!
I really had a hard time with this one too, today, but then, today was the day the our beloved Sophie went to get her lip polyp taken off, lol. Poor baby. It's not bad enough you have to go get all dopey at the vet's, but then you have to wear the cone of shame for a day when you get home! Just no justice for a labrador, lol. We have three of these suckers, one for each dog, though thank goodness they haven't ever (yet?!) all had them on at once, lol. So that was today's inspiration - and watch the movie "Up" if you don't get the reference!

Smoky Slate Wishes

So excited for our sweet banded sketch at this week's Fab Friday #211!
Another set leaving us soon is the playful Dandelion Wishes. I've so enjoyed this set! Besides the winsome images of dandelion clocks (does anyone else still call them that??) doing their thing, there's also some cute sentiments to go with, in such a fun font - they are definitely the breeze playing through the dandelion fields! I did a little study all in Smoky Slate, and made a pretty background just from the escaping seeds by themselves!
I hope you have time to join us this week on our fun sketch - I'll look for your projects over at the challenge!
