I am SO Excited that the first round of the Christmas Specials at In{k}spire Me #492 is gift tags! Love them! I decided to pull out my Decorated With Happiness set AGAIN, lol. Really, it's just so versatile! I cut a tag trio using my beloved Tailor Made Tags Dies, along with the hole protectors, and had some fun doing some single ornament arrangements. For a final touch of sparkle, I added some tiny Iridescent Rhinestones. Even with using the dies for the ornaments and tags, this little project was quick! They're so adorable, and the timing is perfect, since I have a pile of boxes from Amazon to get going on, lol. Decorated With Happiness Stamp Set; Basic White & Real Red CS; Granny Apple Green, Real Red, Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight & Pool Party Inks; Tailor Made Tags & Decorated Pine Dies; White Baker's Twine; Iridescent Rhinestones; #IMC492.

Such a pretty book cover at this month's Once Upon a Time #4! I actually don't know this book, but what a gorgeous cover! I tried to design a card inspired by the lovely colors and design elements, and, of course, an apt "dream" sentiment! I had just the thing in the Begin With a Dream set, over a few details I thought I could come close to. I actually really like the result - I don't do much in this style, so I felt pretty unsure of where I was headed, lol. Whew!

I haven't pulled out my He's All That suite in far too long, and I can never get enough of the manly DSP! I went with a barbecue theme for this one - hubby does the grilling in our house, and I just had to use the BBQ sheet, lol. We even had a little grill in the die-cut pieces sheets - perfect! I did up a medallion of the smoky sentiment, and popped everything together - simple and quick! He's All That Stamp Set; He's the Man DSP; Basic White & Cajun Craze CS; Cajun Craze Ink; All That Dies; #TSOCOneFortheGuys. Pumpkin Club October 29! Did you check out your October Pumpkin kit yet?

Shopping Our Stash #480 is running a "leaf me alone" challenge this round - so cute! I've been really wanting to try Forever Fern in Fall colors for a while now - today is the day! I stamped three different stems in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I tried to make them all radiate from a focal point, where I popped up my sentiment in Espresso. I thought some gold accents would go well, too, so I tousled some Metallic Gold Thread behind that as well, and added a few Brushed Gold Dots. I still needed a little something, so I threw on three tiny springs I cut with the matching dies, too. Time to stop! Forever Fern Stamp Set; Basic White & Cajun Craze CS; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie & Crushed Curry Inks; Forever Flourishing & Stylish Shapes Dies; Metallic Gold Thread; Brushed Gold Dots; #SOS480.

Excellent - Can You Handle the Pressure is back with a new twist - FALL! Great timing, lol. This is my chance to use my brand new EF called Leaf Fall - such a pretty pattern, and it's kind of lost in the Holiday Catalog, so make sure you go take a look for it! I used mine to do some corner texture on Crumb Cake, which I floated over a layer of Cajun Craze. I added this pretty sentiment from Gathered Wheat, then a leaf from our old 2018 set, Vintage Leaves. I colored a few of the embossed leaves with a water painter, just to add a tiny bit more movement. Simple and pretty!

Lol, so many fun possibilities for this week's Addicted to CAS #227 "pink" challenge - woo! For me, when I looked over my possible "pink" sets, the one that jumped out was This Birthday Piggy! Of COURSE a little piggy would be perfect in pink! I went with this little sleepyhead and made sure to bring on the pink - I don't think I've stamped this one before! What's even cuter about this one is the inside sentiment: "Go to your happy place and stay there all day!" Adorable! I snuck in a few Polished Pink Opal Rounds to finish things off - hopefully I have enough white space left to still qualify as CAS!

For this one, I decided to do a little scene - let's kick back with our toes in the sand, and a pink drink by our sides! I went back to last year's Seaside View for my elements - I placed some pretty palms over my beach-side adirondack, with some distant gulls in the sky. I had some fun coloring with my Blends markers, and finished with a few Pale Papaya Opal Rounds. For some reason they felt like they went with, to me, lol. Maui is calling!

Very cool theme this round at Can You Handle the Pressure - "Beach!" Digging through my folder stash, I came across the retired "Ruffled" - I've always felt like this one was a great one for stylized waves and water! I did my embossed panel in Pool Party, over some Crumb Cake for "sand," and went to look for a likely stamp set to add. I almost pulled the new lighthouse set (love it!) but in the end I wanted to do some curvy swimsuits from Sunny Splash. These are such vintage bathing beauties, lol, and they're fun to match up with our vibrant new In Colors! I even doctored up a label strip to order for the sentiment!
