Hm, Less is More #432 has a CHOICE of color challenges for us this week - excellent! It didn't take me very long to settle on the "red and gold" offering - for some reason this year, I'm loving it more than blue and silver! I decided to put together a pretty wreath in my chosen colors - I LOVE how they look together this way! A simple sentiment in the center, and I couldn't resist a few Gilded Gems to finish things off - quick AND elegant! Arrange a Wreath Stamp Set; Whisper White, Real Red & Gold Foil CS; Real Red Ink; Wreath Builder Dies; Gilded Gems; #LIM432. Pumpkin Club November 28! Did you get your November Pumpkin kit yet?

Yay! It's sketch time again here at Fab Friday #201 - hope you can get in on this one! I decided to dig through some lonely DSP, lol, Ornate Garden here especially hasn't seen much air time. I think this was a pre-order suite for me, so I was totally into it like over the SPRING, and I haven't really been back much since! Which is a shame, because I LOVE the Ornate Thanks stamp set that goes with, and I love matching it with the Ornate Layers dies! I kept things fairly strait-forward to our sketch today, but it's helped me sneak in a little Terracotta Tile in between Christmas projects, too - win! I can't wait to see YOUR versions of our sketch - meet you at the challenge! Ornate Thanks Stamp Set; Ornate Garden DSP; Whisper White CS; Terracotta Tile Ink; Ornate Layers Dies; Banner Triple Punch; Gold Twine; Terracotta Tile Faceted Dots; #FabFri201. Holiday Gifts & Packaging 2020 Class, Nov 14! Woo hoo! Today's the day! It's finally time for my blow-out class - Holiday Gifts & Packaging 2020! There's a little bit of everything here, fun packaging, last minute gift ideas, wrapping, tags - you name it, you just never know what might come up! And you don't want to miss my famous dessert buffet - this is my appreciation for YOU, to say thanks for another fun year together! Come hungry, and with bells! Class will include all supplies needed (bring your fave snips and adhesive!) plus, snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP today to save your spot - class is ON for Saturday, November 14, at 3 pm, or is available to go any time after the live class! Well, of course I have to jump on Time Out Challenge #172's support for breast cancer, what a great idea! I have just the thing! I knew right away I wanted to use this little bra stamp in my ancient Fashion Statements set - from 2005! I think this is one of my oldest sets, lol. Anyway, it comes attached to the phrase "thanks for your support" which didn't quite fit, so I masked that off for this sea of flying bras! Then I put together my own sentiment with our Make a Difference alphabet set - this one has the tiniest letters we have, I think! I finished with a feature bra and a few pink pearls, fun and hopefully spirit-lifting! Fashion Statement (retired 2005) & Make A Difference Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Flirty Flamingo CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker; Layering Circles Dies; Pink Pearls; #TOC172.

Super excited to launch our "vintage Christmas" challenge at Sparkles #117 today - hope YOU can join us! I decided to pull out my Cherish the Season set - these bells are so beautiful and classic, and floated over our Toile Tidings DSP, I think they make for a very vintage look! Old timey scenes always make me thing "vintage," lol. Anyway, we are all Garden Green all day long here, and I was thrilled to find some fancy options for my sentiment in the Ornate Frames dies! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to check out YOUR vintage cards, over at the challenge!

I am LOVING this week's Sisterhood of Crafters "Autumn" challenge, especially since we're on our 3rd day in a row of below 100 degrees here in AZ! It might be a sign! And what better stamp set to use than one called Beautiful Autumn?? I knew I had to use this one, and it's awesome little Autumn Punch Pack, too. I've been seeing a lot of "inchie" cards out there lately, so I decided to have a go myself, and show off these little punches in the simplest way - float them over a pretty DSP! This all came together quickly and easily, which I think says something good about just how perfect this suite is! Beautiful Autumn Stamp Set; Gilded Autumn DSP; Very Vanilla & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies; Banners Pick a Punch & Autumn Punch Pack; Copper Sequins; #TSOCAutumn.

A great challenge from The Sisterhood of Crafters this week - "it's the thought that counts," that is, make the sentiment the focal point! Very fun! I totally ran straight to our new Peace & Joy bundle for a sentiment focus today - how not?? I decided on "Bright Christmas" for my combo, and then realized that I haven't even tried these little twinkles in the stamp set - two sizes! So cute! I went with some fun fun brights to go with my twinkles, and added a few Gilded Gems to add even more sparkle! Quick and sweet, just right!

You get your choice of sketches this week at SU Only #256 - grab your catty, turn to page 94, and pick your fave! I decided to play with the banner element card, and I really wanted to take my newly arrived Sending Sunshine set for a spin! I am fascinated by the scene building possibilities for this gorgeous sunset or sunrise set! Just to share my own discovery - the water can be stamped in two layers - eventually, I started with the DARKER layer first, then aligned my larger stamped-off layer after - SO much easier to see! Then I added all my details, the clouds, the islands, the sponged "sand" and plants... So much to play with! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenge this week - meet you there!

Ooo, another tic-tac-toe at this week's Retro Rubber #140! Yay! So, choosing my line today was all about staying away from that washi tape in the corner, lol. I finally settled on the center column: blue - rectangles - patterned paper. I got started by scouting out some likely DSP in blues, and stumbled across the remnants of my By the Shore DSP in the retired bin - love these water patterns so much, and I even still have the inks to go with! Looking for something nautical, I looked through my old Paper Pumpkins, and came across A Little Smile from June 2019 - just right! I kept things pretty simple with layered stitched rectangles, and a sweet little sentiment - I have to remember to go back through my Pumpkins more often! A Little Smile (Paper Pumpkin June 2019); By the Shore DSP (retired;) Very Vanilla CS; Dapper Denim, Soft Sky, Calypso Coral & Crumb Cake Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Whale of a Time Sequins; #RRCB140.

Introducing Peaceful Nativity, that has so many lovely elements - too many for a CAS card, lol. I hope I still qualify with my textured layer, but either way, it's been fun breaking this set in...

This'll be fun - The Sisterhood of Crafters has a stenciling challenge for us this week! I'm glad to have this chance - I never use my decorative masks enough - like this cool quasar-like pattern from the Pattern Party collection. I mixed in three colors with sponge daubers, another technique I love, and just let the pattern speak for itself, floating a happy sentiment right in the middle. This another great one from Best Year - the inside says, "you did it!" to go with. Simple, quick and cheery - my perfect trio!
