![]() What a great idea - SU Only #222 has a "celebrations" challenge this week - any celebration we can think of! I think I'll combine with Fusion's Butterfly Wreath combo, too! Time to party! I decided to go with Picture Perfect Birthday for my "celebration" theme - I LOVE this sentiment so much! All the fonts in this set are so fun! In the end, I stuck with just the sketch from Fusion - I think I might be a bit butterflied out, lol. I kept my colors bright, sort of like the DSP that we used to have when this set was first released - this is another retiring set, sigh, so it's good to bid a fond farewell, too! Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set; Whisper White, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist & Berry Burst Inks; Stitched Shaped Framelits; Scattered Sequins DEF; Silver Sequins; #SUO222; #FusionButterflyWreath.

![]() Yum - super tropical color challenge at this week's As You See It #199! OK, so I really ran through all my (many!!) flower sets looking for a something for these colors. Then I got to thinking how thirsty these colors were making me feel, and I was ding! ding! ding! - what about Bubble Over?? These are PERFECT colors for all kinds of sweet and fruity drinks, complete with bendy straws! I did a quick trio with every color combo, added some bright straws, and some dewy droplets to the cold glass bottles - cherry lemonade anyone? This is another set that will be retiring, sigh - it's been so fun for all kinds of summery cards for me - I think this one will have a steady home on the shelves of retirement for many years, lol...

Sketches are always my fave, lol... For this one, I knew right away that I wanted to do balloons for the suggested shapes in the sketch, especially because {SOB} my beloved Balloon Bouquet set (and punch {SOB, SOB} is retiring. I'm pretty sure this will be my most missed set in our lineup this year, sigh. I LOVE the sentiments in this one, too! While I was at it, I decided to throw in my two fave retiring In Colors as well, Lemon Lime Twist and Berry Burst. So sad. You can believe all these yummy goodies will be carefully hoarded on the shelves of retirement, in a place of honor, lol! I even coughed up a few already-retired Berry Burst Glimmer Dots to finish off! I'll miss you my balloons - you just wait over here with Loads of Love and Best of Cluck, ok? Balloon Celebration Stamp Set; Whisper White, Basic Black & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Bermuda Bay, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Smoky Slate & Pool Party Inks; Balloon Bouquet Punch; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Berry Burst Glimmer Dots (retired); #SUO221. ![]() I'm loving our bright "pop" of Pappy Parade in this week's color challenge from Fab Friday #162! You should join us! For all these lovely colors, I just new I had to pull in Varied Vases - LOVE this set, I even don't mind all the tiny little options we can do, lol, as you can see, I'm working on self-editing! I did three solid vases, with single stems, and managed to fit in all five of challenge colors - wasn't quite sure I'd pull it off! A simple birthday card is always handy to have on hand! So what will YOU create?? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!

I decided to cruise through the retiring sets again today, and this time landed on Sweetest Thing - such a fun candy set! I browsed through what little DSP I had left, too, and found I could coordinate some gummie bear features here, lol - whew! I'm down to the dregs on this one! I had fun playing with my layers in brighter colors than my usual - still a sweet celebration, lol. So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!

I don't know about you, but I found these colors to be a real challenge. I scrapped my ideas and started over three times! I finally hit on the winning combo when I came across my Needle & Thread suite - love this stitch-patterned DSP! A simple floral medallion over the top and I was finally happy, lol. I even have a few Mint Macaron Faceted Dots for a touch of sparkle. So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to check it out over at the challenge! Needle & Thread Stamp Set; Needlepoint Nook DSP; Whisper White & Mint Macaron CS; Night of Navy, Mint Macaron & Flirty Flamingo Inks; Stitched Shapes & Needlepoint Elements Framelits; Mint Macaron Faceted Dots; #TSOT404. ![]() We're going kind of tribal this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #403! It took me a bit to break down this sketch, lol. I finally decided we were doing layered columns, and when I have a narrow vertical like this, it's hard for me to not think "balloon!" So out it came. When I decided to go with this fun Broadway Bound DSP for my background, I pulled in the Lovely Lipstick, one of the coordinating colors in that suite. I'm loving the look of the Lipstick against the Slate! It only took me two tries to get the layers right, lol, and then some glitter dots finish the deed. It's a celebration, all right! So, what will YOU stamp? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge! Balloon Celebration Stamp Set; Broadway Bound DSP; Whisper White, Basic Black & Lovely Lipstick CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Lovely Lipstick Inks; Balloon Bouquest & Banner Triple Punches; Lovely Lipstick Glitter Dots; #TSOT403. ![]() Butterflies Galore Class April 11 & 13!

RSVP today to save your spot - hope you can flutter on by! ![]() So exciting - Back to Basics #24 is doing a shaker card this week! Yes! These are always fun, lol. After careful consideration, I decided that I just wanted to do a cupcake in our Hello Cupcake Sale-A-Bration set - did you get yours? I hope so, because today closes our SAB season, sigh. I'm giving it one last hurrah, lol. I did a layered frame using my Layering Ovals Framelits, and got all lined up to stamp my fancy cupcake on the base. I added a few details, and all my window accessories - my shaker goodies are leftover from an old Paper Pumpkin - I think I have stretched it for a couple years now - almost gone! I added a quick sentiment flat to the front - shakers are already pretty hefty, lol. Shake-shake-shake! Hello Cupcake Stamp Set; Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Blushing Bride CS; Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Flirty Flamingo & Blushing Bride Inks; Layering Ovals Framelits; Paper Pumpkin Sequin Mix; #BBB024 ![]() Oo, another fun combo from this week's Fusion Create challenge - I think these ladies know their audience! I stayed on the sketch this time - something about those layered shapes was just calling me, lol. When I dig a quick scan for something lonely, I came across my Lemon Zest set - I haven't used it in forever! I even still have one last citrusy sheet from our old Tutti-Frutti DSP - score! I created a bright base with a basket-weave textured sheet of Daffodil Delight, added my big banner, and then started working on my lemons: I added the barest touch of Mango Melody around the edge by rolling the stamps a bit in that pad. It's very subtle, but I think it adds just enough of an edge to separate the two layers... I finished with a Happy Birthday inside! Lemon Zest Stamp Set; Tutti-Frutti DSP (retired); Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody & Lemon Lime Twist Inks; Banner Triple, Lemon Builder & 1 3/4" Circle Punches; Baster Weave DEF; Crushed Curry Glitter Dots; #FusionCreate. ![]() I'm super excited about the theme at this week's Sisterhood of Crafters - "one for the girls!" (or ladies, lol.) When I was doing a browse for Retro Rubber the other day, I came across my old Tote-ally Tess set, from back in 2010, so I immediately thought of her when I saw today's challenge! I'm having some fun looking over all her little accessories, too - she's like a Stampin' Up! paper doll, lol. Gosh, I miss our Stampin' Around wheels! Anyway, I figured she'd be a perfect "girl" for the Sisterhood! AND, she made you this card - see her holding it up? Har har, I'm so funny, lol. She was super easy to color in with my Blends (which I have and she doesn't, haha) and then I HAD to fussy cut her out and float her over a full-size version of her cute card. I sure got a chuckle out of making this today!
