![]() Lol, I knew it had to happen sooner or later! The Library Challenge #68 is bringing us The Cat in the Hat! Alas, I have no cats in hats stamps, but how iconic is this cover?? I decided to pull out some precious retired Tempting Turquoise, and make a nice striped side bar for my fave CITH quote! Our gorgeous Playful Alphabet dies set was just right, and I got to make one of my rare stamp-free cards, lol. I even pieced on some stripes for the envelope, lol. You know, I think this is my first INK-free card, too! What a fun project! So many happy memories of reading this to my daughter!

![]() Now here's my kind of color challenge - Less is More #428 is having a shades of purple color challenge! I considered purple pears for a bit, but really, how could I not go for the full purple spectrum I could get with my Nothing's Better Than set? A cute purple drink with a sweet little coordinating umbrella is just my speed today, lol. Actually, make it THREE, lol. The two-step stamps, the perfect dies, it's all just PERFECT, really - still LOVING this set! I did a triple stack of my "cocktails" die, even the little dot on the "i!" That's love, baby.

I love layers! Which is why it's a bit ironic that I kinda pulled a 180 when I started my card, lol. I wondered, what would this be like as a one-layer card? I'm pretty sure today is the first time I've tried it on my own recognizance - I really only do these because someone has challenged me, lol. I've had the eclectic Comfort & Hope set sitting on my desk for FAR too long, and finally decided to make this with it - so many little design elements and textures in there, it was hard to stick to just these! This is super CAS for me, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR ideas for this sketch - meet you at the challenge!

Time Out Challenge #170 is to be adventurous! Just what I need! I knew as soon as I saw this challenge that I wanted to pull out my beloved (and retired!) Adventure Awaits set - I love all the bold sentiments in this one, and they're all playfully and variously fonted, too. An adventure in itself, lol. I matched it up with this lovely DSP sheet from World of Good - I've made it into an ocean for my Sailing Home yachts, but really, I think it's a sky, there's all kinds of antique constellations hiding in there. Shhh! Anyway, THIS would be quite the adventure, sailing away on stormy seas (or skies!) One day...

It might be a sign! And what better stamp set to use than one called Beautiful Autumn?? I knew I had to use this one, and it's awesome little Autumn Punch Pack, too. I've been seeing a lot of "inchie" cards out there lately, so I decided to have a go myself, and show off these little punches in the simplest way - float them over a pretty DSP! This all came together quickly and easily, which I think says something good about just how perfect this suite is!

It'll be fun to pair it up with our SU Only #258's seaside or nautical challenge, too! So, did someone say "nautical?" You know what that means, lol, time for my beloved Whale of Time DSP to come out to play again! This time I featured this gorgeous shot of the East Australia Current, with its jeweled sea turtles having a cruise - heaven! I fussy cut a couple larger ones to highlight the journey! I hope you can get in on the challenge action this week - I can't wait to see your creations!

I couldn't wait to pull out my Love of Leaves bundle again for this one - I am LOVING the combo of the washed ink look of the stamps with the detail dies to match - such perfect detail! I did an array in all our colors, with a trio of tiny Crumb Cake ones on top, a sweet sentiment to go with, and just a touch of elegant gold with my Gold Glitter Enamel Dots. And stitching everywhere! Woo! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our colors - meet you at the challenge!

I couldn't help but go back to my retired Dragonfly Dreams for this one - I had to! It was fun to pull in a few purples, too - Purple Posy is still holding first place in my most used In Color, lol. I added a little Subtle texture, and pretty panel from our Playing With Patterns DSP, and all that was left was my big gorgeous dragonfly! I did his wings in Rich Razzleberry with some Blackberry Bliss sponged on as well, just to add a tiny bit more depth. A few purple pearls finished things off!

I know we have some really awesome sunflowers options right now, but I couldn't help but gravitate straight to that lower right corner with all the pretty acorns - I couldn't let them get away! I pulled out my trusty Acorny Thank You retired from 2015, and started building! I tried to stick to the colors I could spot in the inspiration, and just went for a nice little jumble just like the pic - so cute!

MM, I couldn't help but see this sketch as a chance to show off some fun DSP in a new way - enter Playing With Patterns, again! I so love this eclectic paper pack, fun and unexpected colors, awesome and varied patterns, and lots of them, lol. You just can't go wrong! Anyway, I pretty much stuck to the letter of the sketch, so to speak, and pulled in this great sentiment from See The Good (the artichoke set, lol!) Just such a loving thing to say to a friend, don't you think? I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for this one! Get your angles on!
