![]() Woo hoo! The Sisterhood of Crafters is having a tea party this week, and we're all invited! I've accumulated a few tea sets over the years - and I love them all, lol. I even keep the sets that mention the tea in passing, like Balloon Celebration, where this sentiment came from. Well, OK, that's a cool set in its own right, too, I guess, lol, but it's my fave tea sentiment, too! Next up, I love my A Nice Cuppa set because it has AWESOME dies to go with - even silverware! I tried everything out over some nice florals from our Best Dressed DSP. Hm, I think I need a tea date soon!

![]() Hm, Inspire Create Challenge #062 has a "blank slate" challenge going for us this week - what to do?? I think maybe I should start playing with my new Mountain Air set! This is a gorgeous new "scene building" set, with mountains and trees, lots of huge landscape details, AND, it has dies! I wanted to start tinkering and playing with all the pieces - you can even stamp using the reverse sides for some super cool shadow-like details. This is my first crack, and I paired it with the "Just Breath" sentiment from Colorful Seasons - this was the first match I thought of when I saw it in the catalog, I suspect I'll use them together pretty often! I think the trick with this one is definitely going to be to not do TOO much - always a challenge for me! Mountain Air & Colorful Seasons Stamp Sets; Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate & Mossy Meadow CS; Sahara Sand, Smoky Slate, Basic Gray & Mossy Meadow Inks; Majestic Mountain Dies; #ICC062. ![]() This looked like such a cool challenge over at Less Is More #411 - one-layer, off-center - I just had to try it! I pulled from my stack of newbies again today - this time I went for these gorgeous ginkgos in the Beautifully Braided set. I picked a pretty sentiment to shelter under the leaves, and colored everything in with my two tones of Mango Melody Blends - super simple, super fast! And pretty to boot! Beautifully Braided Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mango Melody Blend Marker; #LIM411. ![]() We're stacking the deck on you this week at Fab Friday #181! I of course had to go looking for a fun shape to put into this sketch! Pens? Paintbrushes? Branches? Feathers? OooOOoo! What about LIPSTICK?? Lol, just the thing. I hand-cut a nice bold banner from my Best Dressed DSP pack, and quickly cranked out five lipsticks in the coordinating colors - love these dies! I couldn't fit the sentiment I wanted to use onto one of the lipsticks - but I like it floated off to the side like this, too. I even still have a few Lovely Lipstick Glimmer Enamel Dots to finish it with! So, what will YOU come up with? I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenge! Dressed To Impress Stamp Set; Best Dressed DSP; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Lovely Lipstick, Pretty Peacock, Mint Macaron, Blackberry Bliss, Daffodil Delight & Purple Posy Inks; All Dressed Up Dies; Wide Oval Punch; Lovely Lipstick Glitter Enamel Dots; #FabFri181. ![]() Pumpkin Club January 25!

The Library Challenge #50 is back online, with a real winner, too, Where the Red Fern Grows. Awesome! I remember reading this book back in my earlier school days, and I have a vague sense of sadness when I think back to it - I seem to recall there being a loss in this story. We love our dogs here so much - they ARE our family, lol, warts, snores and all, so I knew I wanted to include a dog on my card. I decided to go for something pretty similar to the cover, with silhouettes, and pretty blues, and a sentiment that brings out adventurous good times with friends - THAT'S what I'll remember now! Silhouette Scenes Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Sweet Silhouettes Dies; Dog Builder Punch; Sponge Brayer; #TLC50. ![]() We'll take it in triplicate this week at Sunday Stamps #222 - are you with us?? I'm having so much fun playing with this Golden Honey DSP - gotta love free paper with Sale-A-Bration! Anyway, I decided to bring in the bees today, and I colored up these honeycomb scraps with my So Saffron Blend - I think the gold still shows through! A pretty hive in Crushed Curry, and a fancy bee on the prowl finish us off - except for those drops of honey I spilled, lol. Shhh, they're really Gold Glitter Enamel Dots - apparently they're my new fave his week! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to check it out - see you at the challenge! Honey Bee Stamp Set; Golden Honey DSP; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Crushed Curry Inks; Dark Daffodil Delight & So Saffron Blends Markers; Gold Wink of Stella; Detailed Bees Dies; Gold Cording Trim; Gold Glitter Enamel Dots; #SSC222. ![]() Here's a pretty focal sketch from Case This Sketch #353 - love the layers! What a perfect time to break out my new Timeless Tropical set - this is a gorgeous new super suite - stamps, DSP, dies, embossing, trinkets, ribbon - this suite has everything, lol. I've tried to pull in a few of those items today! I couldn't wait to try out the beautiful palm trees in the set - they were first caught my eye. I've been doing a lot of inking up with markers letly it feels like - and I still love the look of multiple colors on one stamp! I added my second fave stamp of the pineapple, and couldn't quite resist this hibiscus trinket to finish Ahhh, only 88 days til I'm in Maui again - but who's counting?? Timeless Tropical Stamp Set; Tropical Oasis DSP; Whisper White, Soft Suede & Pear Pizzazz CS; Soft Suede, Old Olive & Mango Melody Stamp-n-Write Markers; Layering Ovals & In The Tropics Dies; Tropical Oasis Trinkets; #CTS353. ![]() Birthday Cards 2020 Class Jan 9 & 11!

I went digging through my foil stash for something fun to use - and came across this combo pack of Lovely Lipstick & Grapefruit Grove - I never did use it much, lol. But guess what, our fun Dressed to Impress suite uses Lovely Lipstick - perfect! Since that was the color, I went with a whole lipstick theme here, lol, right down to the sentiment! Now, if only I actually WORE lipstick, lol...

When I wrapped my mind around this sketch, I knew immediately I wanted to play with shapes, as usual, lol. How about some sweet bees instead of circles?? Done! I floated a center panel of the gorgeous Golden Honey DSP from Sale--Bration, and added my bees around a fun sentiment in the middle. So cute and simple. I think this might be the last outing for my gold Wink of Stella, sigh, but I loved it while it lasted!

And since this challenge is all about our most basic tools - stamps, Ink and paper, lol - I decided to stick to just that, and go clean and simple all the way! Colorful Seasons is just right for that, with the lovely leaf builder stamps in that gorgeous set, and of course, the awesome dies to go with, lol. The fun thing about this color challenge was also how I could actually do multiples of each color family, since they didn't actually name NAMES, lol. Perfect!
