![]() I am SMITTEN by the latest theme over at Farm Quest #53! Picnic things - so fun! Since I still have my beloved Picnic With You set from 2018, I have just the thing! So many fun picnic parts to this elaborate set, and dies for everything, too! I limited today's picnic to the classics - a pretty basket with good bread, a wedge of yummy cheese, and a bottle of wine and some apple slices! That's all we really need, right?? No ants at my picnic, either, but I remembered to throw on a few Loose Daisy Embellishments at the last second - so perfect! Yum! Grab your quilt!

![]() What pretty summer bloom colors we have for you this round at Sunday Stamps #337! For all we have a gorgeous inspiration pic today, I didn't want to do flowers, lol. What to try? I finally hit on our two-step Hot Air Balloon set, that makes it so easy to combine colors together! I actually almost never use Gorgeous Grape, so I went with that for my darker purple, and added in some Pumpkin Pie and Fresh Freesia. At the last second, I snuck in some stamped off Lost Lagoon clouds from Adventurous Sky, too - woo hoo! I can't wait to see YOUR fun takes on our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge! Hot Air Balloon & Adventurous Sky Stamp Sets; Basic White, Gorgeous Grape & Pumpkin Pie CS; Gorgeous Grape, Fresh Freesia, Pumpkin Pie & Lost Lagoon Inks; Hot Air Balloon Dies; Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots; #SSC337. ![]() Man Cards 2024, June 15 at 2 PM!

This seemed like a great time to break in my new Market Goodness set - super cute veggies ahead, lol! As usual, I might not be quite CAS enough, lol, but I was just smitten with all the green, and the fun dots that coordinate with this set! For today, I tried my hand at stamping these super cute veggies - though there's also adorable DSP that I could cut with the dies - yum! I did all today's on different sized Stylish Circles, though - I love circles, lol. Market Goodness Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green, Black Berry Bliss, Real Red & Pumpkin Pie Inks; Blender Brush; Stylish Shapes Dies; Lemon Lime Twist Transparent Dots; #AAA266. ![]() We have a fun alphabet challenge for you this round at Make My Monday #227 - "B is for..." - so fun! So today in my office, "B" is for BURGER! And we have JUST the set for it in our new Bistro Burger - so cute! There's all kinds of fixins' to add, and plenty of grilling accessories, too, lol, in the dies - love it! I made a nice woodgrain background from our Country Woods DSP, then added a cutting board with a little streak of flames to brighten things up. Then I got to coloring my burger - it comes with the works! I was able to really sharpen the detail on the tomatoes and pickles with the color lifter - still need to work on the burger itself, I think, lol. I can't wait to see what "B" stands for in YOUR house - meet you at the challenge! Bistro Burger Stamp Set; Country Woods DSP; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Pumpkin Pie (sponged on the flames) Inks; Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, SU100 and Colorlifter Blends Markers; Bistro Burger Dies; Enamel Dot Essentials; #MMM227. ![]() Ooo, fun! Time Out Challenge #264 would like to see something "magical!" I actually don't have too much on hand "magical" that's current, so off to the retired shelves I went! I came across my beloved Hippo Happiness set - and I remembered this cute sentiment - yes! I set about picking some fun goodies to go with - I knew I wanted a PURPLE unicorn for sure, lol. I still have plenty of my just-retired Lighter Than Air DSP, so I pulled this diamond detail sheet from that, and settled on Fresh Freesia for my purple - and he turned out super cute, if I do say so myself! I gave him a few Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems to complete the sparkle! Hippo Happiness Stamp Set (retired 2022); Lighter Than Air DSP (retired); Basic White & Fresh Freesia CS; Fresh Freesia & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Hippo & Friends Dies (retired); Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems; #TOC264. ![]() Oh wow, I'm loving our gorgeous muted colors this round at Sunday Stamps #335! I decided to try these colors with our gorgeous Country Flowers set this round - I thought if I used my Water Painters, I could get even more of a soft wash, too, and I love how it came out! When I looked over the greens, they looked like my fave retired Soft Succulent and Evening Evergreen, so I used those, along with Petal Pink in a blended background, Calypso Coral and Highland Heather. I went for a CAS look today, though I did tousle on some Gold Thread behind my teapot, lol. Had to have a BIT of sparkle, lol. Anyway, a pretty little card for a friend! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge! Country Flowers Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Soft Succulent (retired), Evening Evergreen (retired), Calypso Coral, Petal Pink & Highland Heather Inks; Blending Brush; Water Painter; Country Flowers Dies; Gold Metallic Thread; #SSC335. ![]() What a great quote we have to inspire us this round at Time Out Challenges #261! Love it! My favorite crafty quotes are still the ones from our Crafting Forever set from 2020 - so many goodies! I wanted to match it up with something else, though, and since my beloved Zany Zoo will be retiring TOO soon, I decided to check that awesome DSP for something likely - don't they have a crafty critter sheet in there? Turns out, they SO do - check out this knitting llama - isn't she adorable?? I had a hard time choosing between her and the painting hedgehog, lol. Anyway, I played with some Nested Essential dies, too - I'm loving the angles I've gotten here! My kind of llama! Crafting Forever Stamp Set (retired 2020); Zoo Crew & Lemon Lolly DSP; Basic White & Petal Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake Blend Marker; Nested Essentials & Zany Zoo Dies; Lemon Lolly Baker's Twine; Lemon Lolly Solid Gems; #TOC261. ![]() Pumpkin Club April 27 at 2 PM!

Today I get to try out my new Under the Moon set - no sentiments, which I usually don't go for, but OH the images! This is another cool scene-builder type set, that features a lovely huge moon over some water and island scenes, with some pretty clouds, too! I sort of CAS'ed a card front in the new catty to get started with this one, and experimented with my coloring here - so much we can do with sponge daubers! I started by inking up the whole stamp in the lighter color, then added touches of the darker color with a dauber - loving the effect I got! I kept it all simple from there by just doing a topsy layer thing - so easy with the smaller layers! Under the Moon & Wonderful Thoughts Stamp Sets; Basic White & Coastal Cabana CS; Coastal Cabana, Misty Moonlight, Daffodil Delight & Calypso Coral Inks; Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems; #NBUS61. ![]() Oh, yum! The inspiration cupcakes at this round's Cupcake Inspirations #591 look DELICIOUS! They make for a cool color challenge, too, lol. These colors were a total gimme to use my beloved A Little Latte DSP, and of course, the Latte Love stamp set, too, lol. I can practically smell the mocha brewing! I did a fun layout with my blue cups cut from the DSP, and used this coffee splatter scrap to good advantage, too! I love how this sentiment fits perfectly inside this stitched banner from our old Tasteful Labels dies, too - so buttoned up! Latte Love Stamp Set; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso Ink; Latte Love & Tasteful Labels Dies; Swirl Dots; #CIC591. ![]() New Catty Preview Class April 13 at 2pm!

I decided to use some pretty DSP - and I still have a lot of my Countryside Inn pack to get through! Good thing it's carrying over this year, lol. Anyway, I also wanted to use a cute sentiment from Perennial Postage - I was a bit shocked to see that this set is on the retiring list, though the dies are staying at least, whew. So many pretty sentiments in this one, and almost all mixed fonts! The card came together pretty quick, and I added some dimension, just because, and finished with a few Navy Enamel Dots - simple and pretty! Perennial Postage Stamp Set; Countryside Inn DSP; Basic White & Boho Blue CS; Night of Navy Ink; Night of Navy Enamel Dots; #AAA262. ![]() New Catty Preview Class April 13 at 2pm!
