Fusion has a cute combo this week to celebrate their 4th anniversary - yay! Mail call! As I thought over the shapes and layout, I decided to pull out another new set, Fortunate to Know You. What's not to love about that little fortune cookie?? The little fortunes to go with it are just the cutest, too. I tried to pick up the colors and woodgrain from the inspiration side, and then just used the sketch to pull everything together - so happy with the way it came out! I love the whimsy of this set... Fortunate to Know You Stamp Set; Wood Textures DSP; Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Sahara Sand CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party & Sahara Sand Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Bermuda Bay Enamel Shapes; #FusionKeys.

Super fun theme from Paper Players #375 this week - punny Valentine's! I think this simple sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #352 (or 3?) can help me out! I've been looking for a chance to use this punny phrase from the new Fruit Basket set - and I think the pears are my fave fruits in there, too! I tried out the wire basket today - love being able to just stamp over the fruit to make it look contained. Of course, I had to go a little punch happy and put pears everywhere, but hey, they're really good for you anyway, lol! Fruit Basket Stamp Set; Tutti-Frutti DSP; Whisper White, Lemon Lime Twist & Daffodil Delight CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight & Soft Suede Inks; Itty Bitty Pear Punch; Polka Dot Basics EF; Stitched Shapes Framelits; #PP375; #TSOT353.

In{k}spire Me #332 has a cute peek-a-boo sketch for us this week - so cute! I'm combining with this lovely deep color challenge from TGIF #141, too! I decided to ink up my recently acquired Oh So Eclectic set for this one - which is a set that I got for the fabulous thinlits that go with it. I could use that patterned background piece for my "peek-a-boo" piece - yes! I love the color-wash pieces that go with both the flowers and the leaves in this, too, and I haven't even STARTED playing with the gemstone thinlits, lol... I really love how this came together!

SU Only #191 is kicking off the new year with a theme - baby, it's cold outside! I'm adding in Match the Sketch #210 to help me along! So, I couldn't help it, when I get too cold outside (which doesn't happen too often here in AZ, lol) I have to go straight for a well-dressed cup of something warm - fancy pants hot chocolate springs to mind! Which made a perfect chance to use my beloved (and now retired {SOB}) Merry Cafe. This set will hold a place of honor on my Shelves of Retirement for quite some time to come, believe me! It occurred to me that I could also coordinate the original Coffee Break DSP in a small way, as well, so I've gone all in with THREE DSPs on this one, lol. It still looks fairly buttoned up, I think...

Paper Craft Crew #274 is back with lovely feathery layers for us to play with - can't wait to try them with this subtle color line-up from Color Throwdown #474! I will admit, this challenge combo made me think immediately of our new Petal Palette suite. At first I was all, yeah, no, I don't need another little bird, but when you take a closer look at the gorgeous and detailed thinlits, and then notice how many and varied sentiments in the set there are, well, for that was all she wrote. Even the DSP has some awesome coloring choices ahead, lol, even though I didn't use it today! I like how my little assembly of goodies turned out!

Ah, it's never too soon to hit the reset button on Christmas cards - time to restock! Merry Monday #271 is starting us off with an embossing challenge - yes! As luck would have it, Stamp Ink Paper #131 is also running an embossing challenge, so I'm doubling up here, lol. So, today's quick (but still cute!) card is all about a Hail Mary pass to run the gorgeous Winter Wonder Embossing Folder. I'm embarrassed to say I had this all season, and totally forgot to use it - shhh! It really is a crime, because it make such a great focal element! I dressed it up today with the still-going-strong Flurry of Wishes, and a few rhinestones. So glad these snowflakes will be hanging around for another run!

I'm so excited that What Will You Stamp #149 is featuring one of my fave stamp sets ever, Beautiful Bouquet! The reason I so love this set is that it really is a complete package: beautiful images with robust and varied sentiments, for both inside and outside the card, PLUS, it has gorgeous framelits! I wish all our sets had it this good, lol. Today, I decided to go for a lovely anniversary card - the sentiment set is perfect for it! It's easy to go overboard with little flowers, too - so many choices! I tried to keep them to three threes, lol, hope it's not too much!

Happy fabulous New Year! Fab Friday #128 is back with some bright and beautiful colors to kick off the new year - hope you can join us! For me, our colors this week made me think tropical, and browsing my "to-be-inked" stack, I immediately latched onto our super-cute Bird Banter, another beauty from the 2018 Occasions catty. Of course, it's hard for me to play with this set without flashing onto our beloved Brian King's presentation at On Stage with this set - I didn't know I had to have it til after that! So this is all your fault, B! Anyway, budgies in love are always perfect, right? I can't wait to see what YOU come up with!

As You See It #166 has a perfect New Year's challenge for us - sparkle! So, I'm continuing my quest to ink up my little stack of new toys, and finding one that I could add the "je ne sais sparkle" to was a bit of a job. Then I thought, weren't hot red sparkly guitars the coolest EVER?? Let's do it! So out came the Dazzling Diamonds glitter and my cherished scraps of red glimmer paper, time to re-order, yikes! I colored up my guitar with Cherry Cobbler and Smoky Slate Blends for some smooth color, then covered it up anyway with the glitter, lol. I also decided to set everything off on black, but added some more glitter spots with the help of my Polka Dots Basics EF. I think I see this card in my nephew's birthday future!

Now, here's a fun challenge at Global Design Project #119 - "home for the holidays," wherever that may be! So, I won't lie, I had to do some serious digging to pull this one together, lol. Luckily, I have guarded my beloved Yee-Haw set for its western elements for just such an occasion! I had forgotten about the "rootin' tootin'" - I've kept it for the cactus, frankly, but as soon as I saw the sentiment, I KNEW that was going on there, too. I had to do a little piece-work for that, but I love the results! Yes, this is my view out my office window, which looks over the McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona.
