Oh, excellent - love Retro Rubber 139's challenge this week - to use buttons! I ran straight to my embellie drawer to see what I had on hand, and found these old Galvanized Buttons - I think these were first released with our Farmhouse Christmas set back in 2018? Not positive, lol, but today, they make me think "man card," so I went looking for a likely guy set to use. I had a hard time settling on anything, but then I spotted our old Suite Sentiments from 2017, and knew I was saved! I love this set, because it has a bunch of extra sentiments that match like eight different sets from that year, which I think I got probably five of, lol. So a great little bonus investment for me! I decided to go all scrappy for this card, and let those pretty buttons shine!

Dang, these inspiration floral cupcakes are STUNNING at this week's Fusion Card Challenge! I'm not sure I could bring myself to ever eat them! With that thought in mind, I couldn't resist going back again to our FABULOUS set Nothing's Better Than, and get back to my obsession with this little cookie stamp, and its die! Now THESE I could totally eat all day long, lol. The one thing that's a teeny tiny bummer about the awesome dies, is that for the cookie stamp, it cuts off the little crumbs that go with that big bite, lol. So I added maybe a few too many crumbs using that speckle stamp in Waterfront - "problem" solved! PS. "You make everything better" is PERFECT for the inside!

Oooo, this week's inspiration panel from Hand Stamped Sentiments #434 is calling my name! Take me away! I couldn't resist building a lovely beach scene with my still-beloved Waterfront set, especially since it has a little beach hut in it to go with the pics! I added a sentiment, however, from our newest shore set, Seaside View - always good advice, lol! I kept things fairly simple, extended my "beach" so I could fit on my bright hut and some palm trees, but really, it came together quickly! This is a picture of where I'd like to be, for sure...

I love our bright, almost southwestern, colors this week at Fab Friday 194! I finally decided our fun juicy colors reminded me most of girly little cocktails with pretty umbrellas in them and everything. It just so happens I have JUST the thing for that thought now, too, lol, in our Nothing's Better Than set! I haven't used this hurricane glass yet, but I sure love it! Today's challenge let me make all KINDS of foo-foo drinks! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenge! Nothing's Better Than Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & Bermuda Bay Inks; Love You More Than Dies; Candy Dots (retired); #FabFri194. We have a cool and modern color challenge this week from Less Is More #423 - love it! OK, I can't get in the habit of handling color challenges by pulling in the awesome Best Plaid Dies, but dang, it's so fun! I worked out today's version by building a simple plaid over white, and then running it all through a Stitched Circle die one last time - such a cool effect! I couldn't resist floating it all over a plain Smoky Slate base - gray is the new white, right? Best Year Stamp Set; Smoky Slate, Magenta Madness, Whisper White & Daffodil Delight CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Best Plaid & Stitched Shapes Dies; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #LIM423. I had to laugh when I saw As You See It #229's theme this week - "adventure awaits!" I'm pretty sure quite a few of us are imagining our next vacations with longing these days! I know I might sound like a broken record, but I'm pretty stuck on wishing for my tropical vacation still, lol. Our new Seaside View perfectly depicts my fave activity there - loafing my butt off! I got a chance to try out our new Water Painters for this card, too - LOVE them! Excellent water control, so much so that the brush size differences actually mean something with these babies! I have a feeling I'll be going back to more aqua-painting again now! Yay! Seaside View Stamp Set; Pool Party & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black. Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Cinnamon Cider, Sahara Sand, Mango Melody, Pear Pizzazz & Old Olive Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Water Painters; Cinnamon Cider Enamel Dots; #AYSI229. I'm super excited today to play for the first time at a new (to me!) challenge I found - let's give a go to Time Out Challenges #165 - "days gone by" is the theme! I really dithered over this one - "days gone by" is a phrase that has so many levels of meaning for me, lol. I decided to go with something a bit more personal, so here I commemorate my first car - a 1971 pine green Super Beetle, patchy oxidized paint and all, lol. I swear, if you rubbed your fingers on it, they came away green! I spent so many hours trying to fix that with rubbing compound, I never did notice that it did anything for it, lol. This baby cost me $200, and my Dad had me help him rebuild the engine - a piston head had snapped off and chewed a hole in one of the pistons, quite a clean-up job. I'm not sure I was really much help, but I did learn my first car care lessons on this thing. How to change a tire (always crack the lug nuts BEFORE you jack up the car!) and how to change the oil (drive around the block to warm up the engine so the oil runs out better, and rub a little oil on the new filter gasket for a better seal, finger-tighten ONLY!) What a journey - who knew our new Just Jade is the same color as my old bug?? Beautiful Ride Stamp Set (retired 2016); Whisper White & Just Jade CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party, Just Jade, Basic Black, Gray Granite, Crumb Cake, So Saffron & Poppy Parade Blends Markers; #TOC165. Critter Crazy Class, Saturday June 11, 3 pm I sure hope you're enjoying the new catty - so much goodness to see! One of the first things that struck me was all the awesome animals, so I think we need a Critter Class to check them out more closely! Class will feature 6 cards with envelopes, snacks & drinks, and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP to save your spot today, for Saturday, June 11 at 3 pm, or sign up for the Traveling Class in a Box version! It will start the rounds right after our live class! The sketch is in the spotlight this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #465! I'm going to sneak in some animals for SU Only #253, too! You know, I think I'll pull out Birds & Branches again, and see about using that big window die in that set - what do you think? Such a pretty effect, and I upped the leafy factor by using a scrap of the Forever Greenery DSP, too. These birds are so sweet, and easy to color and add detail too, and even the extensive dies are easy to use - this came together fast! So, what will YOU create for us this week?? I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenges! Birds & Branches & Lovely You Stamp Sets; Forever Greenery DSP; Whisper White, Soft Suede & Pear Pizzazz CS; Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz & Mango Melody Inks; Daffodil Delight & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Birds & More Dies; Gold Pearls; #TSOT465; #SUOC253.

Time to bring the vintage at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #464, and what a great sketch we have for it! I don't have much "vintage" look stuff (maybe an old car, lol?) but I do think of vintage as also having old-fashioned design elements. This big doily shape in our Pattern Party Decorative Masks seems just the thing! I sponged the stencil in Purple Posy - I have a pad I was able to get just before SU! took it offline - I've not had any problems with it yet! I added this little Hello from A Little Lace - I love how long and skinny it is, lol. A simple and pretty card, that's going straight into the mail! I can't wait to see YOUR projects - hope you can join us over at the challenge! A Little Lace Stamp Set; Purple Posy, Basic Black & Whisper White CS; Purple Posy & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Pattern Party Decorative Masks; Black Baker's Twine; Faceted Dots in Purple Post; #TSOT464. We're going for the triple at this week's Sunday Stamps #234! I couldn't resist pulling out my Cute Fruit set again - I think this set is just so adorable! I really emphasized that today by giving all my yummies little happy faces, too, lol - they just make me grin! I kept it in bright fresh colors, and rounded out with some happy dots for my background - so much fun! I can't wait to see YOUR projects - I sure hope you join us! Cute Fruit Stamp Set; Whisper White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Daffodil Delight, Real Red, Granny Apple Green & Pumpkin Pie Inks; 7/8" Circle Punch; Large Polka Dots EF (retired); Artistry Blooms Sequins; #SSC234. |
