Beauty of the Earth (& Pumpkin Club May 1)

4/26/2021

Such a lovely layout we have this week at As You See It #248!
I saw all that lovely real estate in the main panel, and I KNEW I wanted to show off some cool new DSP! Here's a larger sample of a pretty litt;e scrap I showed the other day from the Beauty of the Earth pack - so gorgeous! The painted sheets have so much vibrancy, I can't wait for you to see ALL the seasons they have in here! I kept things focused on the pretty paper with a simple thank you sentiment from Inspired Thoughts - perfect!

Birdwatcher's Guide (& Pumpkin Club Mar 27!)

Wow, I LOVE this cover from this week's The Library Challenge #78, AND I added it to my wishlist!
That said, I knew right away I wanted to pull in my favorite bird set, Free as a Bird. It's just SO pretty, and I've learned a lot about coloring from it! Or should I say, from the gorgeous Bird Ballad DSP that first came out with it?? I still have some carefully hoarded sheets, and for whatever reason, the fussy-cut bug bit me HARD today, so I cut out these lovely branches to arrange across my card front. The sentiments in the set are perfect for this card, I went with this one because it worked so well in the space remaining, lol. Love it!

Wow! Less Is More #436 is celebrating a BIG milestone - with CHOCOLATE! It's their 10th Birthday this week! Congrats, ladies!
So, ugh, there IS such a thing as chocolate overload - I just did a chocolate card yesterday, lol. However, I remembered this adorable set from 2018 - I don't think I ever used it enough! Ironically, this set is called More Than Chocolate - the same as my blog post yesterday - sigh. I had a good time putting together this little box of sweets, and imagining all the flavors I might have in there! Yum!

VERY nice - Cardz 4 Guyz #262 has a "let it snow" challenge this week - fun!
I couldn't help but turn to my Snowman Season set for this one - it does have just the right sentiment, after all! I tried to up the snow factor with some Gently Falling embossing in the background. to set off my little snow-guy having a bit if a time in his snowfall! A few enamel dots in Misty Moonlight bring all the blues together! Quick, fun AND snowy - what else is there??

Fab Christmas Colors (& Pumpkin Club Jan 2!)

Gorgeous! LOVE our festive colors this week at Fab Friday #204!
I'm just not quite done with Christmas yet, lol. These colors do make me think of all the trimmings on a sweet gingerbread house - but no brown! Sigh. Then I hit on this range of cute trees, in all the funky colors - how fun would this be out in front of the house?? I added a tiny star to the top of each to make sure I emphasized every single color - sa-weet! Not sure why this card makes me giggle, but it does!
So what will YOU create for this Fab color challenge? I can't wait to see - meet me at the challenge!

Hm, Less is More #432 has a CHOICE of color challenges for us this week - excellent!
It didn't take me very long to settle on the "red and gold" offering - for some reason this year, I'm loving it more than blue and silver! I decided to put together a pretty wreath in my chosen colors - I LOVE how they look together this way! A simple sentiment in the center, and I couldn't resist a few Gilded Gems to finish things off - quick AND elegant!

Well, of course I have to jump on Time Out Challenge #172's support for breast cancer, what a great idea! I have just the thing!
I knew right away I wanted to use this little bra stamp in my ancient Fashion Statements set - from 2005! I think this is one of my oldest sets, lol. Anyway, it comes attached to the phrase "thanks for your support" which didn't quite fit, so I masked that off for this sea of flying bras! Then I put together my own sentiment with our Make a Difference alphabet set - this one has the tiniest letters we have, I think! I finished with a feature bra and a few pink pearls, fun and hopefully spirit-lifting!

Beautiful Autumn (& Pumpkin Club Sep 26!)

9/18/2020

I am LOVING this week's Sisterhood of Crafters "Autumn" challenge, especially since we're on our 3rd day in a row of below 100 degrees here in AZ! It might be a sign!
And what better stamp set to use than one called Beautiful Autumn?? I knew I had to use this one, and it's awesome little Autumn Punch Pack, too. I've been seeing a lot of "inchie" cards out there lately, so I decided to have a go myself, and show off these little punches in the simplest way - float them over a pretty DSP! This all came together quickly and easily, which I think says something good about just how perfect this suite is!

You get your choice of sketches this week at SU Only #256 - grab your catty, turn to page 94, and pick your fave!
I decided to play with the banner element card, and I really wanted to take my newly arrived Sending Sunshine set for a spin! I am fascinated by the scene building possibilities for this gorgeous sunset or sunrise set! Just to share my own discovery - the water can be stamped in two layers - eventually, I started with the DARKER layer first, then aligned my larger stamped-off layer after - SO much easier to see! Then I added all my details, the clouds, the islands, the sponged "sand" and plants... So much to play with!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenge this week - meet you there!

CAS Christmas has a lovely new challenge for us for July, a nativity! Love this!
I'm so excited because we have a new one this year at SU!, with dies and everything! Introducing Peaceful Nativity, that has so many lovely elements - too many for a CAS card, lol. I hope I still qualify with my textured layer, but either way, it's been fun breaking this set in... I couldn't resist including the donkey at least on the envelope, and how do you like that fancy foil star? Truly, a wonderful celebration!
