![]() I am SMITTEN by the latest theme over at Farm Quest #53! Picnic things - so fun! Since I still have my beloved Picnic With You set from 2018, I have just the thing! So many fun picnic parts to this elaborate set, and dies for everything, too! I limited today's picnic to the classics - a pretty basket with good bread, a wedge of yummy cheese, and a bottle of wine and some apple slices! That's all we really need, right?? No ants at my picnic, either, but I remembered to throw on a few Loose Daisy Embellishments at the last second - so perfect! Yum! Grab your quilt!

![]() What pretty summer bloom colors we have for you this round at Sunday Stamps #337! For all we have a gorgeous inspiration pic today, I didn't want to do flowers, lol. What to try? I finally hit on our two-step Hot Air Balloon set, that makes it so easy to combine colors together! I actually almost never use Gorgeous Grape, so I went with that for my darker purple, and added in some Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Freesia. At the last second, I snuck in some stamped off Lost Lagoon clouds from Adventurous Sky, too - woo hoo! I can't wait to see YOUR fun takes on our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge! Hot Air Balloon & Adventurous Sky Stamp Sets; Basic White, Gorgeous Grape & Pumpkin Pie CS; Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Pumpkin Pie & Lost Lagoon Inks; Hot Air Balloon Dies; Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots; #SSC337. ![]() Man Cards 2024, June 15 at 2 PM!

I wanted to try to stick to a current set for today, so I went with our Simply Sparkling bundle - love these soda cans! I broke out the Granny Apple Green and Silver foils to put together my base can, and cut some extra Granny Apple bubbles, too! I floated this all over some Lemon Lime Twist DSP - love the combo of these greens together, lol. I wanted a few final details, so I finished with some Shiny Yellow Sequins - so fresh!

As usual when I'm pressed for time, I turned to my DSP, lol, and this time, I even had some cuties already cut out - super cheating! I think I can say that our whole Latte Love suite is firmly in my Top 5 Favorites-of-all-SU-time, perhaps even in the #1 spot! I love the images, the sentiments and the DSP SO MUCH, and the Swirl Dots, too! For today's card, I pulled out all my Latte stuff and started the clock. Since I knew I had pre-cut pieces in my DSP, I didn't start digging through those til time had started at least, AND I included the envelope flap in my time, too - gotta be fair, lol. I even inked up some coffee splatter for my bare edge - just right! 7 minutes and 43 seconds is just right for a cuppa! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy thank yous - meet you at the challenge! Go go go! Latte Love Stamp Set; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White & Pecan Pie CS; Early Espresso & Pecan Pie Inks; Latte Love Dies; White Baker's Twine; Swirly Dots; #AYSI325. ![]() Man Cards 2024, June 15 at 2 PM!

It's hard to resist going back to my Adventurous Sky suite - so components to play with! Today I finally got to get the diecut biplane in action - so fun to choose colors and assemble, AND it fits way better on a card than I thought it would! I did up a split background from the specialty sheets that are meant to be split into separate cool layers, then built my plane from Mossy Meadow and Basic Beige. I tucked in a couple clouds to set the scene, and finished with a few Industrial Trinkets for rivets. So cute! And definitely manly! Adventurous Sky Stamp Set; Take to the Sky DSP; Basic White, Boho Blue, Mossy Meadow & Basic Beige CS; Smoky Slate & Mossy Meadow Inks; Adventurous Sky & Stylish Shapes Dies; Industrial Trinkets; #TSOCMen. ![]() So pretty - AAA Cards #266 has a sweet little sketch for us this round! Yay! Still have to keep it CAS, though! This seemed like a great time to break in my new Market Goodness set - super cute veggies ahead, lol! As usual, I might not be quite CAS enough, lol, but I was just smitten with all the green, and the fun dots that coordinate with this set! For today, I tried my hand at stamping these super cute veggies - though there's also adorable DSP that I could cut with the dies - yum! I did all today's on different sized Stylish Circles, though - I love circles, lol. Market Goodness Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Black Berry Bliss, Real Red & Pumpkin Pie Inks; Blender Brush; Stylish Shapes Dies; Lemon Lime Twist Transparent Dots; #AAA266. ![]() Such a fun sketch we have for you at Retro Rubber #232 - lots of scope here! I really wanted to make a Christmas card today, so I went looking on that shelf first for likely stamps to use. I think I hit the jackpot with 2021's Frosted Gingerbread - THIS is the way to play "any shape," lol. I used this fun sentiment from Festive & Fun, as well, just the right size, and I love mixed fonts! I wish I could make such pretty cookies in real life, lol. Anyway, I recently came across these old Paper Pumpkin embellishments, too, and I thought a few in Shaded Spruce would make a pretty contrast! I can't wait to see YOUR sketchy projects this round! Meet you at the challenge! Frosted Gingerbread (retired 2021) and Festive & Fun (retired 2024) Stamp Sets; Wrapped in Plaid DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Gingerbread Dies; White Baker's Twine; Paper Pumpkin Christmas Candy Embellishments (retired); #RRCB232. ![]() We have a fun alphabet challenge for you this round at Make My Monday #227 - "B is for..." - so fun! So today in my office, "B" is for BURGER! And we have JUST the set for it in our new Bistro Burger - so cute! There's all kinds of fixins' to add, and plenty of grilling accessories, too, lol, in the dies - love it! I made a nice woodgrain background from our Country Woods DSP, then added a cutting board with a little streak of flames to brighten things up. Then I got to coloring my burger - it comes with the works! I was able to really sharpen the detail on the tomatoes and pickles with the color lifter - still need to work on the burger itself, I think, lol. I can't wait to see what "B" stands for in YOUR house - meet you at the challenge!

Festive Friday #160 has a fabulous inspo list for us in honor of Father's Day! I managed to get a few items off the list today - the main one that caught my eye was "Superman," lol, and then I added a few from there: Masculine Colors, Twine and Alcohol Markers. I pulled my old Everyday Hero set, from 2017, still love this cutie! One of our earlier photopolymers, I love the mix and match options with the various images! I went for a fun layout, too, laying out tiles in a few sizes, and popping them up on dimensionals - it was a real playtime for me today! Blues, bright red, and Crumb Cake - I think these make for good manly colors, lol. I'm so happy with how this came out - I was really flying by the seat of my pants on this one! Everyday Hero Stamp Set (retired 2017); Sunny Days DSP (retired); Basic White, Blueberry Bushel & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Blueberry Bushel Inks; Blueberry Bushel, Real Red, Pool Party, SU400 & SU1000 Blends Markers; White Baker's Twine; Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems; #FF0160. ![]() We'd like you to use some dies this round at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #161! I couldn't resist going back to my all-time favorite Christmas greenery set, Christmas Season from 2023 - what a beauty! And what a splendid collection of dies! I did up my favorite elements in all colors, and floated it over this festive sheet of buffalo check red - nice and bright! I even slipped in an extra die set for my sentiment, from the still-current Hope & Peace set - a perfect pairing! So fun to play with ALL the goodies once in a while, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR die projects this round at Sparkles - meet you at the challenge!
