Pink Pumpkins!
Anyway! Today's card combines the latest Festive Friday challenge (pink, brown, cream and ribbon) with the latest SCS Sketch Challenge. I'm not actually loving how the wreath turned out, stamped in layers, but it works and it's another needed Thank You on it's way to the mailbox!

Colorful Forest
This is from the Inspire.Create.Challenges to CASE the designer. CASE in today's case, means "Copy And Selectively Edit". I used the sketch, but altered the angles, and I used the same colors for the trees, and changed the greeting. I could have die-cut them, but I wanted to stamp it instead. But you can definitely see the inspiration.
Supplies:
Stamps: Encircled In Nature, Beside Me
Ink: Misty Moonlight, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil delight, Soft Seafoam, Fresh Freesia
Paper: Basic White & Misty Moonlight card stock, Country Woods DP
Accessories: Tinsel Gems Three Pack, Dimensionals, Circle Dies (retired), big shot (retired)

All the pinks!
This one uses the sketch from The Paper Players and a whoooole lotta DP prints, lol. Three of them, in fact. I liked the strip that looks like a paint palette with this little artist, and I liked the watercolory-looking sheets too. But it's kind of a lot...!
Ink: Memento Black

Flower Die Cut
Today's card uses the sketch from CAS Colours and Sketches, along with the theme (wellll more the colors from the graphic...) from TGIF Challenges. It sort of looks like I took the sketch more literally, but really, I just stamped on a scrap rectangle, and then die cut the flowers out of that. Then I colored it!
Supplies:
Stamps: Layers of Beauty, Beside Me
Ink: Memento Black, Pecan Pie
Stampin' Blends: Dark & Light Pumpkin Pie, Dark and Light Old Olive, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Balmy Blue
Paper: Basic White, Pecan Pie card stocks
Accessories: Iridescent Striped Trim, Iridescent Foil Gems, Dimensionals, Layers of Beauty Dies, big shot

Friendship Flower
Today I have a fun and quick card. I chose two of the newest In Colors for this idea. After I glued it down I remembered I had these in a set of three markers I got on my 12th birthday (plus pink), and now all I can see is the early 90's..... hahaha! It's fiiiiine, I'll just send the card to the friend who gave me the markers, ha! She won't remember, but if she sees this, she'll laugh too.

Bold Birthday!
I used the sketch from TGIF Challenges and the One Stamp challenge from SUO Challenges. I think it's a perfect match. Simple, but not subtle.

Sunny Flowers!
This is the final card in my upcoming class.
The strip of DP comes from the airplane set, but I think it works beautifully with these flowers, don't you? Look at your supplies a little differently and see what you've got!

Fireflies!
Fireflies are not common in my area at. all. I had been told they don't live here, and I absolutely believed it until about three years ago when I heard they were at a small nearby lake... I saw some as a kid, when my family took a vacation to Illinois, but not here. Not ever.
My husband's co-worker owns a farm about 20 mins from our home and she has fireflies in her field! So she does little tours and asked him if he'd like to bring his family. I told him YES HE WOULD, ha, so we went!
We learned that one reason they are so rare here is the ground has to stay moist and not freeze for the bug's life cycle under ground, which takes two years. Yeah, that's not a thing around here, ha. Each of our kids got to catch a firefly, and watching them blink across the field was really cool. It was definitely a special family night.
Stamps: Lighting the Way, Skinny Mini Alphabet

A Haircut
I have seen this idea a lot lately, with the strips of DP as the background and thought these photos worked well for that. Everything is very long retired, which is my favorite way to scrap, haha...

Birthday PlayTime!
Time is going faster than I think... I thought I had time to make this, but it needed to go out before I made it, darn it. But I made it and it's on it's way!
I used the sketch from Inspire.Create.Challenges. And I used the now ended Color Throwdown, altho it might be hard to tell.... that blue water takes up some space! Usually I choose colors as close as possible to the challenge image, and this time the shades aren't exact matches, and there's more than one shade for each color. But I promise the birthday girl will never notice.
Stampin' Blends: Dark & Light Flirty Flamingo, Dark & Light Granny Apple Green, Dark & Light Balmy Blue, Dark Daffodil Delight, Light Petal Pink, Light Basic Black, Dark Smoky Slate, Bronze, Ivory, SU800
Paper: Lemon Lolly, Basic White card stocks, Bright & Beautiful DP

Cars!
This boy of mine loooves the color orange. He has a full set of dressier shirts for work that are orange and way more than a full set of every day orange shirts. He also has an orange jacket for days when he wants to wear something that isn't orange, ha. My mom has made him two orange-based quilts and my MIL made him one too. One wall in his room is orange. So it was NO surprise that he was thrilled to find an orange car. I am not actually a fan of printing photos thru Shutterfly, but I have, and the envelopes are a bold orange color with this little quote on the back. And this is the second scrap layout he has with this strip on it, HA.
