Slanty Bird

Oh gosh - do you remember that old animated short, "The Dot & The Line,  A Love Affair?"  Our sketch at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #496 SO reminds me of it!  And our "anything that flies theme at SU Only #270 goes along perfectly!
When I think of flying things, it's hard not to turn to our gorgeous Free As a Bird set - still one of my faves, and I even have some carefully hoarded DSP from the original release!  I let that DSP do the talking and simplified our sketch by taking off a corner to let the card base show through.  I then stamped this little curious cutie, and a sweet sentient to go with.  This came together surprisingly fast!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects at our challenges - meet you there!

Dragonfly Thanks

Well, the day has finally arrived - I'm so sad that this is Case This Sketch #405 - a throwback to their early sketch #25, and their final challenge.  I'll miss them!
I decided to turn those tab shapes into dragonflies, lol, and say a fond farewell of thanks.  I used the very last of my DSP sheets that had the pretty colored dragonflies to punch out, and managed a sweet array of colors!  I kept things fairly simple, really, added a couple of the smaller ones for my embellishments, and finished with this pretty sentiment.  Thanks, CTS, for some great and inspiring challenges - best of luck!

Wrapped Bouquet

Check out this dreamy inspiration pic at this week's Fusion Flowers!  That sketch is pretty dreamy, too!
I couldn't resist taking a crack at that pretty bouquet to go on my sketch!  Our new Wrapped Bouquet set has lots of wispy stems to go with that look pretty similar to that inspiration, so I had to give it a go!  It takes a lot for me to try new flowers these days - we have SO MANY gorgeous sets, but I couldn't resist that do-it-yourself newsprint wrap - so cool!  There's an all-in-one image, too, but you know me and new toys, lol...  I had a little coloring in for my blooms, and added some extra leaf stems - I really like how it came out!

A Room With a View

Yes!  The Library Challenge #75 is finally back, and what a beautiful cover they have for us with A Room With a View!
Oh gosh, i LOVE this cover! Big stem-y flowers, lots of purple - {swoon!}  I really thought I'd be re-creating it, too, but I couldn't stop thinking about my new Welcoming Window set, sigh.  I know I won't have so many chances to trot this beauty out, so I have to seize them when I can, lol!  I kept things fairly simple for its first time out, a pretty stamped brick background behind the basic shuttered window with a pot of flowers - at least I made the flower colors match!  And I can't wait to play with this one more!

Garden Wishes (& Birthday Cards Jan 23!)

I'm loving our offset look this week at Fab Friday #205!
A sketch like this, with big open layers, always makes me think of ways to show off DSP, lol.  I recently realized, I don't think I've shown ANY items from this big new super-suite either, called Dandy Garden!  You see, we got to use it for our On Stage activities back in November, and we really worked it for that, so much so that I kinda haven't looked at it since then - oops!  There are actually TWO stamp set bundles, DSP, these cute ladybugs, twines - you know, just a crazy collection!  My card today is featuring the Garden Wishes bundle, plus I snuck in the punch from the other bundle, too, lol.  So many elegant elements to play with here!
So, I can't wait to see YOUR creations for us this week - meet you at the challenge!

Lovely - so many layers this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #489!
FINALLY I'm taking the time to play with my new bundle, Simply Succulents.  I like cacti and succulents of all kinds here in Arizona, so I was also excited to pair it with the gorgeous prickly paper from the amazing Flowering Cactus Medley - I'm already on the refill for this beauty!  Anyway, a few blocks of pretty DSP were the perfect frame for my bucket o' succulents, and I had a fun time coloring with my Blends, too!  I think I got just the right touch of purples on the tips!
I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge!

City Sunset

OK, what a cool theme!  This week's Time Out Challenge #178 is "life in the city!"
I knew right away I'd be pulling out my old Calling All Heroes set for this one - I love the city skyline stamp in this one, along with the fun comic book-style alphabet, lol.  Today I combined with our lovely Heal Your Heart Sale-a-Bration set, too - isn't this a lovely script for a thank you?  Anyway, I sponge brayer-ed my lovely sunset in three colors, then heat embossed all my stamping in black for a beautiful contrast - I'm so pleased with the result!

I'm super stoked to have the chance to play at Freshly Made Sketches #466 - they're having an extra long challenge this month to close out the year!
I'm psyched to get a chance to pull in one of my new sneaky peek sets - Sweet Ice Cream, which is, of course, part of a lovely suite!  Stamp set, punch, paper, ribbon, "sprinkles" - everything we need for some cool treats, lol.  I really wanted to show off some of the gorgeous DSP, and I totally had to break in my punch, too - how about a double-stack cone to go??  I managed to get a few of the tiny bright sprinkles around the sentiment, too - these are going to be great in a shaker!

More fun choices for us at this month's Joy of Sets #23!
Looking over the grid, I quickly realized I'd be narrowing the field by quite a bit, because I don't even HAVE some of these items, lol.  So Vellum - Baker's Twine - Thanks it is!  And since I just happen to have a tiny bit left of some old Paper Pumpkin Magenta Madness Baker's Twine burning a hole on my desk, I decided to build my cad around that!  I'm still in love with our Cute Fruit set, and I think of it every time I see this twine, lol.  Just so cheery!  This turned out so very much more pink than is my usual style, but I love it anyway!

Fusion Cuppa

Another lovely combo at this week's Fusion "Autumn" challenge!
I found this one a little confusing, because the description says "Autumn," but the inspiration pic reads more "Winter" to me - quandary!  So I picked up the cup element, but went with warmer colors that make me think of Fall.  I was happy to pull out my Press On set, I definitely don't get to use it enough, and I love the sharp angles of these images!  I even added a touch of plaid for my cup cozy, by piecing in that band!  Loved the columnar sketch, and I went with a combo of textures from the In Good Taste pack, some nice woodgrain like the table, and some white stone that reminds me of the other colors.  I might have a little clash of the seasons going here, lol.
