![]() Well, these safari animals make the cutest cupcakes, don't they? Such a playful inspiration this round at Cupcake Inspirations #553! I'm on a retiree roll this week, because the first set I thought of was our Bonanza Buddies from 2020, lol. This is still my favorite lion! I had forgotten about so many of the extras in this set - like the fun packages and bows, and the awesome tag die in the Bonanza Dies set! Just too cute! I even found some old SAB twine that I think came out at the same time as this bundle, lol. I'm pretty sure I have some DSP somewhere, too, lol.

![]() I laughed out loud when I saw the them for Shopping Our Stash #479 - "Hey, (h)Ombre!" I seem to recall picking up a pack of our 6" x 6" Ombre Glimmer Paper in our latest In Colors - is that still around? After a quick search, I found it, and I've never even opened it! {BLUSH} Good thing I have SOS cheering me on, lol. With all that pretty glimmer, THIS goofy card is what I hit on, lol. I still laugh every time I see the big "woo hoo" on our now-retired Amazing Phrasing SAB set, so I pulled that, too, and got to work. I started with a little strip on one edge, and then worked the woo-hoo all the way up the card. I stamped off super quick to do my two center ones, then longer to get the lightest ones on top. I even had ombre Matte Dots, lol. Goofy, I tell you!

Shopping Our Stash #478 is all about "animal antics!" Critters, here we come! Now, SOS was very specific that they wanted to see their critter "doing something human," lol, so I had to hunt for just the right image! Lucky for me, This Birthday Piggy was ready to go, AND, I even had the new dies to go with (make sure you check out Perfect Partners!) This little cutie scooting along on his Poppy moped was just the thing, lol. I added a touch of DSP for an accent, and some twine leftover from some Paper Pumpkin, AND the tiny Pool Party Epoxy Dots, also from a past Pumpkin. This baby is stash-happy!

I finally took a pass through some old Paper Pumpkin Sets, and found the July 2020 set Summer Nights, which had this little cutie! Yes, we're going with the Debby Boone version we all know and love! "You give me hooooope, to carry on!" I was cracking up the whole time I made this one, lol. I pulled this pretty evening sky sheet from my retired New Horizons pack, and heat embossed a few spotlights in white for my fireflies. I popped up the sentiment on a Tailor Made Tag, and added some yellow twine to match those little firefly butts. I think this will be hubby's birthday card this year! I hope you can join in the fun over at the challenge - I can't wait to see what YOU come up with!

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!

I totally had to pull out my retired On the Horizon paper AGAIN, lol, so perfect for all these color wash challenges! I also loved this pelican on the shore pilings - really reminds me of those perched gulls in the pic. I smudged my black ink just the tiniest bit for a slight tinge of gray with my Blender Pen. Unfortunately, all that leaves no room for the sketch side, lol, so here we are! I did finish with a few Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds, love the glimmer on these!

It will be so fun combine with our playful sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday # 570 this week, too! We have an additional theme at TSOT this week, too, and I knew it would be perfect for setting off my colors - insects! Enter the rainbow ladybug brigade, lol. I had to slightly re-order my layers, but yes, I think I'll just take that liberty! I stamped up a nice flowery panel for them to sip from, and finished with this cute sentiment - just right for a buggy birthday! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week - meet you at the blogs!

My favorite CURRENT flower set is still the gorgeous Art Gallery bundle. LOVE these multi-step blossoms, we can add so much shading and depth! I did two of the larger flowers today, and built them with three colors - a base of Fresh Freesia, a stamped-off layer of Rich Razzleberry, and a dark center of Blackberry Bliss. I SO love how these came out! I floated them over a couple Gold Hoop Embellishments I have saved, and tucked in a few leaves to finish things off. Yum!

I went back to my old Cool Treats set from 2018 - still my favorite ice cream, lol. I even still have some of the Tasty Treats DSP to go with - I'm such a hoarder for some things! Anyway, I settled on a simple layout, and set out to make a few yummies. As usual, I went ahead and fussy cut my goodies - there are dies, yes, but the dies cut significantly smaller than the stamped image, and I want the biggest treats ever, lol! I heat-embossed a sparkly sentiment from the Suite Sentiments set from the year before - a special set that gave us extra words for a few of our awesome bundles! I finished with a birthday thought inside!

PERFECT for our fun sketch at SU Only #307, too! While scanning the shelves of retirement, the taco truck just kept beeping at me, lol - it needed some love! It' hard to believe this was from a Sale-A-Bration in 2017! It still seems so fresh, especially when it adapts to our latest hostess DSP so well - the Design a Daydream pack. Fun colors to draw from for a cupcake truck, if I do say so myself! I can't wait to see YOUR projects on these challenges - meet you there!
