![]() We are all about the celebrations at this week's SU Only #291! Let's party! I decided to take a tiny break from all things Christmas today - GASP! I'm thinking more along the lines of sunny and casual, like a nice fresh birthday card for a friend! Celebrate Sunflowers is perfect for it, AND it hasn't seen ink in far too long! I stayed on the yellows, with a pretty So Saffron background, and my Daffodil Delight Blends Markers to color in the big bold flower. Ahhh, sunny days ahead! I can't wait to see YOUR projects - meet you at the challenge!

![]() Very lovely - In{k}spire Me #462 has a wonderful soft and layered combo for us this week! These colors were a bit of a challenge for me, and finally I went digging through my DSP to see if I had anything that had at least a couple of the colors. Luckily, I came across the gorgeous Expressions in Ink pack - how have I not used more of this?? Anyway, it had both Pale Papaya and Pear Pizzazz in it, so I figured I could add the other two greens myself! I did my background and accent in Mossy Meadow, and cut these pretty leaves from Mint Macaron - one of my fave dies! I amped up the gold a little with a few gilded gems, too...

AND, take the opportunity to showcase a sneaky-peek at Awesome Otters, an upcoming Spring Sale-a-Bration set! Isn't it the cutest? I found this DSP in another SAB offering, called Sunshine & Rainbows - you're going to love this paper - all the rest are much brighter and rainbow-y, lol. Let's hear it for the otters!

And I think you can't get more "any shape" than this adorable polar bear in his stripey scarf, lol. I fussy cut him from our super sweet Penguin Playmates DSP, from our SAB Holiday prizes. I even love the colors, because they have so many purple-green combos, lol. Anyway, I knew I'd be featuring this bear sometime, and today was the day! Why oh why do I not use Just Jade more? It's awesome! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch this week - meet you at the challenge!

So, the adorable Pierced Blooms dies, that go with the In Bloom set, also has a range of pretty pierced leaves, too! How could I resist? I made a pretty woodgrain panel background from the ever-present-these-days Beauty of the Earth DSP, and then cut out a bunch of leaves in Fall colors to go with. I had originally planned for this to be a portrait card, but then I was a little generous with my sentiment banner, lol, so I turned it for this random landscape layout. I had some linen thread scraps on my desk, too, so I it had to play along!

It's all about the birthday at this week's The Sisterhood of Crafters! A set I haven't used in WAY too long that quickly caught my eye was the still-gorgeous Friends Are Like Seashells. I even still had some Pearlescent Specialty Paper! I finally tried both the dies AND the EF for this one, everything lines up so perfectly, it was really a breeze! This suite could really give you a serious case of too-much-itis, it was so easy, lol. The beautiful sentiment fit perfectly in one of our new Tailor Made Tags, and a few Opal Rounds finished us off. Love it!

Perfect for a guy! I started off already thinking - could I use the colors without adding any leaves? I don't want to look like a Thanksgiving card... Then I spotted my Hats Off bundle, which I really haven't used as much as I thought I would! I settled immediately on a Fall colors ball cap, and a nice sentiment to go with. My fave Fall colors are Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Mossy Meadow - so rich and crisp! I love how my two-color hat came out, and the simple look of this one! Hats Off & In Bloom Stamp Sets; Basic White, Crushed Curry, Cajun Craze & Mossy Meadow CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Mossy Meadow Inks; Timber EF; Hat Builder Dies; Banner Pick a Punch; Brushed Metallic Dots; #C4G281. ![]() Awesome! Less is More #453 has a fun color challenge for us this week - purple and yellow! This was a tough one for me - my first impulse was to play with my blending brushes today, and doing a cool color blend that I could stamp over somehow. Then I spotted my Handsomely Suited set - well, THAT'S been an age, lol. And I thought about coloring a tie! I think a boldly striped number like this would look good on many handsome men, lol, and I kept it super clean by supreme effort of will. I did color up my sentiment with markers so I could sneak in a little extra purple - yay!

One that I've been really wanting to try is this ring from the Circles & Frames Sale-A-Bration set - the specific image that drew me to the set, lol. As usual, I didn't quite get to it before SAB was already over (sigh), but I'll keep my bonus sets on my current shelves for the rest of the year anyway, lol. So there! I tried to keep it pretty simple, and went rings stamped and stamped off in three colors - hopefully there's still enough white space to look "clean" enough, lol. And the sentiment had to go on a Stitched Circle - I think "retirement" is can never be rushed, lol...

So, of course I had to pull out my gorgeous Sweet as a Peach suite for this one - I just have not been using this enough! The paper is just so perfect, I had to do a lot of DSP featuring, too - somehow I can't quite achieve this perfect coloring, lol. I picked two peachy patterns, and then fussy cut this perfect fruit for the center point of the band - my mouth waters just looking at it! I had to add one hungry bee, too - they're always buzzing around this sweet harvest!
