Oh baby! Retro Rubber #114 is speaking my love language this week with their Christmas in July challenge! And a Double Trouble team-up bonus? Woo hoo! After browsing the retired shelves I came up with my old 2014 Visions of Santa set - see how he has his trousers rolled up for going wading at the shore?? Lol, that was my thought anyway - not EXACTLY a beach scene but I was thinking it! I at least got in some other double troubles - squares for sure at least! I loved this set - so many funny Santas dancing around - he's letting his beard down!

Ooo, CAS on Friday #161 has a cool color challenge for us this week - so summery! I had to dig around for something fun to do up in these fresh colors - yay for fun scissors! I can never get enough of my Crafting Forever set, and the sentiment-image pairing for this one is my total fave, lol. A few random snips, my Blends markers (yay for new color Blends - welcome So Saffron!) and three little Pool Party sequins - bliss! Super quick and Simple!

Love the offset bars on this week's sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #416! I couldn't resist adding these sweet colors from Just Add Ink #464, too! Something about the offset bars made me think ocean thoughts, so I had to pull out the beautiful new Seaside Notions set - I've been having so much fun playing with it! I did an over-the-top congrats card for my DL Sarah, who is away on the Greek Incentive Cruise right now - I'm so proud! Anyway, it was fun to pull it out again for these fun colors, and a slightly simpler card, lol. I can't wait to see what YOU create - see you at the challenge!

What a fun combo over at this week's Fusion Triangle - I'm totally gonna have to mess with that sketch, lol! The first thing I did was go hunting for likely triangles, and I finally came across a few on the retired shelves with Always An Adventure. I SO did not use this set as much as I should when I got it, but all the cool landscape dies that came with the bundle were just too tempting! Time to put those babies to work, turn the sketch, and go for a string of triangle mountains, with a nice tent, lol. I matched it up with our awesome Well Said set to make a cute graduation card for the intrepid grad - good times ahead!

Oo, The Male Room #114 has a multiple layers challenge going this round, so many cool ways to handle this! So, I'm a bit of a layer freak, which meant this challenge was right up my alley, lol. I did keep it fairly basic, with a big background set of layers, and then some nice feature layers for my fussy cut Hog! I still have plenty of the now-retired Classic Garage DSP left that goes with our awesome Geared Up Garage suite - perfect for the boys, though I know plenty of lady wrench-heads, too! I even added a few of my carefully hoarded Urban Underground embellishments - love those pewter bolt heads! I think this card is ready for the open road!

Paper Craft Crew #342 has another two-week challenge for us, AND it's a tic-tac-toe! After a little thought, I went with the diagonal Birthday - Favorite Color - #simplestamping - turning into my mantra here these days, lol. Since my fave color is purple, I went with the perfectly purple Gorgeous Grape - it's just so juicy! I also got to finally use my very last preview stamp set, that has been cooling its rubber on my desk since pre-order - another Hostess set called Time for Tags. I sprang for this one because it has the gorgeous Timeless Label punch to go with - yes! Punches are the best, though I also love dies. Nothing beats the no-nonsense of a good punch, and this set has 5 awesome tags to make, plus some custom options that make it even more versatile. It's a win for me, for sure!

We have such a fun sketch this week at Fab Friday #167 - hope you can join us! I think I'll add in this pretty color challenge from Hand Stamped Sentiments #318, too - I have an idea! One of the very few flower sets I've gotten so far is the lovely Soft Spring hostess set - I love all the two-step options in this one! I kept this one clean and simple yet again, with just a few tiny Calypso sequins to add some pops of color, and did a 3-layer sentiment with the Well Written dies - one of my favorite ways to add dimension! I thought these colors would be just right for these pretty stems, and I really like how it came out! So, what will YOU create?? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge! Soft Spring Stamp Set; Petal Pink, Mint Macaron, WHisper White & Calypso Coral CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Mint Macaron & Calypso Coral Ink; Petal Pink Blend; Sprinkles Sequins in Calypso Coral; Well Written Dies; Scallop Edge Border Punch (retired); #FabFri167; #HSS318.

So excited to see that Inspire Create Challenge #46 is featuring our gorgeous new In Colors, too - my second round! This time, I wanted to get inky! Of course, I only have the four stamp pads available right now, BUT, I do have a Purple Posy marker, so I added some tiny details in that to get the full color spread, lol. This ended up being a super simple one-layer card - because I needed the full height of the card base to fit in four stars, lol! It all works out in the end! I stacked these lovelies from our adorable Twinkle Twinkle set, with a baby congrats sentiment on the insise. A few sequins, a few Puprle Posy scatters, and it's good to go! So sweet!

Time to party - SU Only #226 is hosting a birthday challenge this week - woo hoo! I have to admit, when I think birthdays, I can't help but think of cake, lol, so out came our adorable Piece of Cake set! Who wouldn't love to get a fancy birthday cake like this?? I decided to browse my DSP real quick, and came across this bright sheet from the Follow Your Art collection, so I took my cake colors from this a little. A tiny bit of sparkle and we are set - quick AND tasty!

Another fun mix-it-up challenge this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #415 - and I think we can be inspired by "melt" pretty well here in Arizona, lol! I couldn't help but pull out my old Cool Treats set from last year - nothing says melt better than ice cream, lol. I even still have some og teh DSP! So I pulled out a suitably summery treat sheet and went to town. I had to add on a couple popsicles of my own making, too - see where I took a little bite? So, what will YOU come up with? I can't wait to see your creations over at the challenge!
