It’s Thursday and you know that means it is time for a Create with Connie and Mary Thursday Challenge. Isn’t this a vibrant color combination? I need to remember to use it again!

IN THE MOMENT
I don’t know why, but once a new catalog like the Jan-Apr Mini Catalog comes out, I tend to forget (or not use!) the current sets in the Annual Catalog? But this is really one of my favorite sets for sending out thinking of you cards. It’s a keeper! But…do you spy some NEW items on here? There are a couple!

Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Melon Mambo cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
- The 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Coastal Cabana is embossed with the Basics (polka dot) 3D Embossing Folder and added to the front.
- A 1-3/4 x 3-3/4 piece of In Color 6×6 Designer Paper was added across the front towards the bottom.
- The Basic White was cut with the new Radiating Stitches Dies (available as an Online Exclusive!) and I LOVE the stitching detail on these! It was stamped with the In the Moment lady in Memento Black Ink towards the center.
- She was colored with SU1000, Dark Crumb Cake, Melon Mambo Combo, Starry Sky Combo and Coastal Cabana Combo Stampin’ Blends, then added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
- You’re in My Thoughts from In the Moment stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on 1/2 x 3 strip of Melon Mambo cardstock, then adhered on front.
- A trio of Polished Dots were added to the background.

I really love this set…need to use it more often! Go check out what the rest of the Challenge Team did with this challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary
