This week's bold central panel at Freshly Made Sketch #164 just cries out for a scripture feature, doesn't it? I'm also totally excited to hook up with a new (to me!) challenge blog - SU-per Challenges #65! They're based in the Netherlands - so excited to play! Yay! So, can you tell that my Moonlight DSP pack was still out on my desk from yesterday?? Lol... I had a lot of fun adding a few low-key elements to this clean sketch layout - it's so rare I have enough room for this giant sentiment, I didn't want to distract from it! While I'm a bit chagrined to use some other company on my inaugural visit to SU-per Challenges, I'm also reflecting that I will shortly have a new set of scriptures to play with that come straight from my Mother Ship! Can't wait to debut Banner Blessings! It's winging its way to me even as we speak!

I love the landscaped lines at this week's Retro Sketch #139! However, fitting the layers together has been quite the challenge! Goodness, I went round and round with this one. I have even debated whether I wanted to show it, lol, but finally I figured, well, maybe folks want to hear, hey, sometimes I have a hard time making it work, too! Now, there's no way I'll admit how many times I ripped this card apart, and moved stuff around, and switched colors, etc, BUT, I did definitely get to something I think I can live with! Hm, perhaps I need to put my trust a little higher up, huh?

I've also heard they have several exciting new vendors - I can't wait to see! You can click here or on the picture to get your own flyer - see you there! Wow, I really like how the background layers are incorporated into the shapes of this week's Fab Friday #53! So I suddenly realized I hadn't done a scripture card in a while - woops! How about some John 15? And since I'm already going off the rez with my stamp, I'll just go ahead and pull out some pretty retired toys to play with, too. I remember when we retired Baja Breeze, I was in such shock for about three months. I just couldn't believe it - and of course I pretty much have everything you could get in that color still, lol. I'll admit it, I still harbor this secret hope that Baja Breeze will return to us. Maybe that makes it a good color for this sentiment, lol...

I think that I'll play it perverse and NOT do a Christmas card for this one! It helps that I have a fresh new color challenge from Nacho Average Challenge #110 to help me along! I love combining color challenges with the Mosaic Madness set - so easy and elegant, and the whole suite really gives you the tools to make your elements pop! This color combo is perfect for my mood just now, too - now that "fall" (that's a joke) has finally come to Arizona, it's planting time! So I associate these spring-y colors with gardening, lol... I have high hopes for the kale this winter!

Uh oh, check out the round shapes in this week's In{k}spire Me #166! How curious that this sketch pops up just as I have unburied an ancient set of "Carousel Notes," from the 2008 catalog! This set included 6" square Chocolate Chip envelopes and 5 1/2" scallop circle note cards in a variety of colors, of which I have a few Baja Breeze and Kiwi Kiss ones remaining. Talk about a blast from the past! Let's start from there! So, it's turning out to be a pretty "rogue" card - all retired and non-SU! (shh...) I got to thinking that the nice rectangle in the middle was perfect for a scripture saying, and once I started with one retired color, I just has to bring out more of my hoarded stock, lol... Oh well! I'd have used Kiwi Kiss instead of Lucky Limeade if they had made the markers back then!

Oh gosh - I am so excited about this week's Merry Monday #126 - The Words Have It, that I am beside myself! So many awesome sentiments to feature! In the end, I decided that this is my chance to feature a true sentiment of the season, and one that I don't use often enough in my exuberance for all the fun and trendy holiday stamps that come my way. Simple and perfect, just like Him.

I knew as soon as I saw In{k}spire Me #163's mellow color choices that I wanted to pair it with this week's sketch from Fab Friday #49! I thought at first that that I'd go with a floral image, but then my scripture card box got raided again this weekend. I'm glad these cards speak to some, but it sure is hard to keep myself stocked up sometimes, lol! Anyway, this quote from Psalm 91 is so reassuring, especially since I could use a good resting place myself these days. God's Peace to you all, dear ones.

This week's Nacho Average Challenge #105 really gives me a chance to choose a strong focal image! Of course, that means I have to "flip it," and make a strong sentiment focus instead, lol... And of course, a strong sentiment focus calls for scripture! Digging through my scripture collection, this gorgeous quote from 1 Corinthians 2:9 has just the right shape for the sketch. Rather than distract from the words with an additional image, I decided to do the second square shape in more DSP - I love this DSP collection! Such unusual coordinates that look so nice! Enjoy!

Love love LOVE all the takes on the layers by the design team at this week's Freshly Made Sketch #151! I decided to feature my fave new DSP from the Holiday catalog - All Is Calm. I really adore the color combos and patterns - makes me just want to show it off whenever I can! So gorgeous... Anyway, of course the patterns and colors gave me the great Pear Pizzazz and Lost Lagoon combo for the sentiment, and since it's a holiday paper, I went with a holiday phrase. Good ole' Luke, he likes to tell it like it is!

Dates: August 28th- October 31, 2014 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!
