Oh, good times! As You See It #228 is offering up another one of their "potpourri" challenges - let's take the plunge! I have to admit, when I was looking over our "recipe," and spotted the "repeat images" ingredient, my mind IMMEDIATELY went to our new Nothing's Better Than set - you can never have too many cookies, chocolates or coffees, lol. Today's winner? COOKIES! I JUST managed to squeeze in all the elements, and I might be skirting the edge with my one little scrap of DSP behind my sentiment, lol. Still, I'm thrilled with how this card came out, and my "because adulting is hard" sentiment is perfect for the inside, lol. I can already see the expression on my friend's face when she opens this card!

I hope I can "make a splash" with our cool sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #463 - that would go great with our "summer" theme at SU Only 252! For me, this year, my summer thoughts seem to be all about the beach, I guess because I can't get there these days, lol. It's so funny, I never thought of myself as a beach person - give me a mountain and a river any time, lol, but this year I just have beach brain in the worst way! I couldn't help but go back to my Whale of a Time DSP for a lovely ocean background, and I combined it with our Make a Splash stamp set, a just-retired hostess set. See how perfect the sentiment is?? Woo! I can't wait to see YOUR projects at either or both challenges this week - show me your stuff! Make a Splash Stamp Set; Whale of a Time DSP; Whisper White, Shaded Spruce & Honeybee CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red Blends Marker; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #TSOT463; #SUOC252.

Such a pretty sketch at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #341! I decided all those little "feature bubbles," as I dubbed them in my mind, would be perfect for some of the cutie critters in our new Hippo Happiness set! All these guys can be built by layering or combining colors, and of course, the awesome dies don't hurt a bit either. Honestly, I think dies are worth it even if you don't get the stamp set - you should see all the layered tag shapes it includes - I only used one tiny one, and there's three different shapes! Anyway, I had to use this juicy striped paper again, which of course inspired my critter colors, lol. I couldn't quite fit four bubbles in, but I did get to use my fave sentiment right away at least, lol. Words to live by! Hippo Happiness Stamp Set; Flowers for Every Season DSP; Whisper White, Petal Pink, Magenta Madness, Mango Melody & Calypso Coral CS; Magenta Madness, Bumblebee, Calypso Coral & Mango Melody Inks; Stitched Shapes and Hippo & Friends Dies; White Baker's Twine Artistry Blooms Sequins; #HSS341.

I'm so glad we're getting a chance to celebrate our gorgeous new In Colors at this week's Fab Friday #192! They're beautiful! I couldn't resist adapting our colors to the ADORABLE new Cute Fruit set, found only in our little Beginner's Brochure that came out with the new catty. It has a variety of buildable fruits, and a lot of cute little faces you can put on them, too, though I didn't do that today - you DID almost get a smiling banana on this envelope, lol. Next time, friends, next time! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our awesome new In Colors - meet you at the challenge! Cute Fruit Stamp Set; Whisper White, Bumblebee & Cinnamon Cider CS; Bumblebee, Just Jade, Magenta Madness, Misty Moonlight, Cinnamon Cider & Versamark Inks; Shimmer White EP; #FabFri192.

We're going square this week at Sunday Stamps #232! I think all our pretty layers are PERFECT for helping me out with a little DSP surplus I have going on, now that the catalog is about to roll over! This happens to me every year - I have just a bit too much to discard leftover, and, I still LOVE the papers, lol. Take our gorgeous Bird Ballad DSP here - so pretty! Such fresh and lovely colors! How can I not show it off?? I added in this sweet thought from Thanks For the Laughs, which will also be retiring soon, and I am all set! So, what will YOU create for our sketch? I can't wait to see your ideas, over at the challenge! Thanks For the Laughs Stamp Set; Bird Ballad DSP; Whisper White & Calypso Coral CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Stitched Shapes & Rectangle Stitched Dies; Gold Glitter Enamel Dots; #SCC232. Oooo, I'm super excited about Less Is More #420's challenge this week - a one layer card that's all about the dots! Nifty! I think when I'm doing one layer cards, I almost always run straight to layered masking. And it just so happens that dots have always been my favorite design element, I just find them so cheery! So when I spotted this adorable sentiment in my new Lovely You set, I knew I just HAD to use it! I stamped my sentiment, and covered it with circular mask punched from a sticky note. From there, I added two more circle punch sizes to make up my "dots," and each size got its own color! I used my sponge daubers to get this translucent effect - I think they're like happy bubbles fizzing off the card! Lovely You Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron & Pool Party Inks; 1 1/2", 1" & 5/8" Circle Punches; Sponge Daubers; #LIM420. This is cool - Inspire Create Challenge #069 is asking us to be inspired by a really cute project - fun! I decided what was most catching my eye was the bright contrast of colors, so I decided to do a play on that. And of course, another fun set for those colors is our retiring Garden Goodness! Tomatoes, pepper, even the avocado is just right for them, lol. In my own garden, I'm bringing in a handful of tomatoes every day now, so glad I did all different kinds! Anyway, I tried to make a play on the blocky layout, too, and I'm really happy with the look! If you don't have it yet, make sure you get your avocado before it's gone, lol! Garden Goodness Stamp Set; Whisper White, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Granny Apple Green, Soft Suede & Real Red Inks; Mossy Meadow Stamp-n-Write Marker; Stitched Shapes Dies; Large Polka Dots (retired) & Layered Leaves EFs; #ICC069.

We have some pretty pastels at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #339 this week! Seeing these colors made me think of the sweet tea parties for two I used to have with my grandmother when I was little - she spoiled me so much! She used to collect all different china tea cups, and I'd get to pick which one I wanted to use that day. She had one that had pretty flowers in just these colors that was her favorite, while I usually went for the little strawberries, lol. We'd always have little cucumber sandwiches, and strawberries with a little dish of powdered sugar, maybe a soft-boiled egg with little buttered toast strips or Garibaldi biscuits, ah, the memories just go on and on. Miss you so much, Grams! Love IS a warm cup of tea! Tea Together Stamp Set; Whisper White & Crumb Cake CS; Crumb Cake & Versamark Ink; Shimmer White EP; Rococo Rose, Mint Macaron & Seaside Spray Blends Markers; Tea Time (for the mask) & Stitched Shapes Dies; Rococo Rose Faceted Dots; #HSS339. OK, this one is going to be oh so elegant, but tough, lol - I'm talking about this week's Less is More #419's white and cream challenge! I'm taking this one even more ultra-minimalist than usual (for me, lol) and also doing NO STAMPING! I seriously can still count on one hand the number of times I've done this, and I think most of them have been for Less is More, now that I think about it, lol. Anyway, today's cream and white card is all about the Aloha! I went with just dies in Vanilla to float over my Whisper White, and once I spotted this big pineapple, I couldn't pick anything else, lol. Yes, I'm still missing my Hawaii! Whisper White & Very Vanilla CS; In The Tropics Dies; Basket Weave EF; #LIM419. We have such a sweet banded sketch for you this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #457! And I think we can add the feminine touch for this week's "women" challenge at SU Only #249! As soon as I saw our "woman" theme at SUO, I knew I was going to work in our Dressed to Impress suite! I honestly never usually go for the girlie stuff, but I have LOVED this one! Great images, perfect sentiments for them, dies, DSP - it just has it all, lol, like every woman should! I can't wait to see what you do with our challenges this round - see you at the blogs! Dressed to Impress Stamp Set; Best Dressed DSP; Whisper White & Petal Pink CS; Petal Pink & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Stitched Shapes Dies; 1/4" White Grosgrain; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #TSOT457; #SUOC249.
