For my card, as I said above, I used the new Pure Innocence Baseball Boy. I colored him with Copics after stamping him on X-Press It blending card. He was then cut out and layered with the Rectangle Stax Die-namics(both 1&2). My card stock colors are Ocean Tides(PTI), Going Gray, and Fossil(MFT). I paired it with the MME Lost&Found Portobello Road pack. I loved the soft muted colors, it made me think of baseball you see in old movies. I used the Jumbo Banner Day Die-namics(the second to the smallest banner) to make my sentiment flags. Using the new MiniScalloped Edge Die-namics, I was able to make their own scalloped embellishments at the top of the flags. I stamped my sentiments on them, and then added them on using some Stone Twine. The Mini Scalloped Edge Die-namics was also used for the strip across the card base. I cut out a circle panel using the Circle Stax Die-namics, and pierced it to look like a baseball...then covered it all up, LOL!! Oh well!! My ribbon is Kraft from MFT, and my brads are from Michael's. 

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

For my card tonight, I decided to use the new Lightbulb Moment set. She was stamped on X-Press It blending card, and then colored with Copics. I paper pieced the lightbulb, which I love! This week's Crazy 4 Challenges challenge was paper piecing, so this work's perfectly since I'm sorta late, LOL! I used the Lilybee Designs Buttercup paper, and Marigold Morning, Baja Breeze, and Gray card stock. My sentiment was done on the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics, and I used the new Vertical Greetings 2 Die-namics for my main image. I had cut the extra layer...for some color! DO you see that CUTE little scalloped border? That's from the new Mini Scalloped Edge Die-namics...LOVE IT!! Finally, my other embellishments are the brads from Michael's, and some Satin Edged White Grosgrain Ribbon from the Ribbon Carousel.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

For my card tonight, I used the new Vertical Greetings and matching Die-namics. I paired it with the Handmade paper from Lilybee Designs. I used Red Hot, Bubblegum, and Sweet Tooth card stock. I embellished  my card with the Fancy Flourish Die-namics, Mini Royal Rose Die-namics, Bubblegum Grosgrain, Maraschino Twine, and brads from Michael's. For my sentiment panel, I cut one out of Red Hot and Sweet Tooth, and cut the tops off the Sweet Tooth layer. I also added a strip of Bubblegum card stock to separate the layers. I love the way it turned out!!

Besides using the new CS about Art set, I used the ADORABLE new Artist Palette and Brush Die-namics. There are several different shaped blobs for cutting out the paint splotches, so I used Red Hot, Orange Fizz, Lemon Drop, Sour Apple, Night of Navy, Grape Jelly, and Black Licorice. My brush was cut out twice, once with Black Licorice, and once with Fossil. I pieced the brush together to make it look like a brush with a handle. My paper is the MME On the Bright Side Line, which I LOVE! I used Sweet Tooth Grosgrain, and some Maraschino Twine, as well. My brads are from Michael's. For the border on the side, I used the new Squiggle Border Die-namics...what a TON of fun this month's die-namics are!! 

My card is also for this week's new iSpy sketch challenge, which you can find on the iSpy blog!! It is SO much fun!!

For the inside, I used the same supplies!

I LOVED this quote from the Inspired By Trees set, so I decided to use it. I first stamped the tree with Memento Rich Cocoa ink after stamping the image one time on a scrap of paper to make it look faded into the background. I then put my sentiment over the top of it. My main panel was cut out with the Oval Stax, and then layered with the Oval Dainty Doily in Hot Fudge. My flowers were cut out with the new Mini Royal Rose Die-namics out of Groovy Guava card stock, and I put a Fancy Flourish Die-namics swirl behind them. . I used the MME Honey Cake pad, and some Michael's brads. My ribbon is brown Vintage Seam Binding from the Ribbon Carousel.

Here are the Die-namics I have used:

Orange Fizz Grosgrain from MFT is the ribbon I used, and I paired it with a Creative Express spiral clip and some Michael's brads.
