![]() Oh yes, total cuteness at The Library Challenge #39 this week - The Tiger Who Came to Tea! I actually remember this one, lol! So, the stumper for this one is I actually have NO tiger stamps, lol - I had to get a little creative with some scraps left over from my old Swirly Scribbles dies - and I think it came out pretty tiger-y! I added a sweet tea sentiment from my old Tea Shoppe set, and I think this is about all I can do, lol. Eat your heart out, Tony!

![]() Ooo, AAA #146 has a touch one for us this week - a bit of a speed challenge with a summer theme! So, I tried to think ahead for this one - made in minutes and ultra clean and simple means one focal image, and it also needs to be summery, hmm... Good thing I hung on to my Beach Happy set - I didn't get to use it enough for sure! I went for the cute beach chair and umbrella for the card, but got the palm tree on the envelope at least - and a cute beach tote inside, too, lol. I guess a part of me is just rebelling at the minimalism here, lol. In celebration, though, I booked our April Maui trip finally - it'll be SO nice to spend our 20 anniversary there! Dreaming of Hawaii again!

RSVP to save your spot for Saturday, August 17 at 3 pm - see you soon! ![]() Oh goody, Joy of Sets #008 has another grid for us to play with! This one was a tough one for me - it took me forever to settle on my "row" - I finally went for Yellow-Paper Tearing-Circle. I haven't played around with torn edges in a while, so I pulled out some retired papers to practice on, lol. I liked it so much I just ran with it! All my torn DSP is from the old Cherry on Top set, and I floated it over a layer of Crushed Curry, making sure to get a few yellow patterns in there. To keep the yellow theme going, I stamped this lovely sentiment from Colorful Seasons on So Saffron. And I of course cut it in a nice Stitched Circle! I'm really pleased with how it all came out - even with no embellishments!

So this card went a totally different direction than I planned - I was all set to do something cute with scraps of ribbon, but I couldn't help thinking that I wouldn't know what to do with the envelope, sigh. Then I happened to notice this little patterned piece in Woven Heirlooms - ooOOoo! I was off to the races with that, lol. I used a pretty sentiment from the same set, and finished off with our gorgeous faceted dots - perfect!

I had a hard time choosing a direction for this card, I have to admit. It took me a while to come around to that I hadn't stamped the pepper in my Garden Goodness set - or the peas, for that matter, lol. How about a nice garden card? I wanted something different for the sentiment, though, and came across this cute little hexie from Believe You Can. It still ended up a little plainer than I thought, but still, it's pretty cute, lol. Gotta get my veggies in somehow, and what the heck, I even squeezed the peas in on the envelope!

In the end, I settled on the Silhouette Scenes suite - LOVE LOVE LOVE this DSP, and I find the stamps and sentiments so sweet and inspiring! Today I even used the new Shimmer Black embossing powder - and it's awesome! The glitter really pops in this new formula, and it goes on so smooth and perfect - divine, lol. I decided to play a little more with the pretty dies, too - and pulled out "inspire" for this one - yes, I did my usual triple layer on the word - even the dots on the I's - it was a bit of a bear to get on there how I wanted, but it all worked out in the end. Can't wait to see others' faves on the challenge - you should go check it out!

Good one! So, AAA also had a little video to talk about their definition of CAS - and it's pretty lean, lol. I am "positive" I have not been as CAS as they like, lol. I made a real effort today - one image as they asked, very light color washing with the aqua-painter and three little pale sequins, which I supposed I could have left off, but I do like the pops of light they bring to the lady's splash - I think this is about as pared down as I can go! AND, I love the result!

Can't wait to see what you think! For myself, I decided to explore some of my untouched Bird Ballad DSP sheets - I've been having so much fun with all the gorgeous colored birds and branches, I haven't even touched this amazing graphic bird cage sheet, or the equally lovely feathers on the other side! I matched my pretty feathers with this sweet sentiment for a little visual pun, too (yeah, I've had caffeine today, so I might be reaching a little, lol!) I love the clean and simple look of the finished card here, just a few Iridescent Sequins add some points of light for us, too. SO, what will you come up with?? See you over at the challenge, to play my sketch! Free As a Bird Stamp Set; Bird Ballad DSP; Whisper White & Petal Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Ink; Iridescent Sequins; #SSC210. ![]() Wow, Hand Stamped Sentiments # 319 has a lovely inspiration board for us this week! It's so funny that this inspiration popped up for me this week - I have just discovered the HGTV show "Fixer Upper," and have been doing a bit of binge watching lately - this inspiration board could be a concept layout for that show, I think, lol. Anyway, I was caught by the lovely woodgrain, the frames, and the flowers, and when I roll all that together, I get this! I can't resist still trotting out my now retired Wood Textures DSP, and the lovely Petal Palette - they were made for each other, seriously. I'm loving how this came out, but I think I should just send it to Joanna Gaines, lol...

Well, since we also have an optional Nautical theme going this week, I immediately pulled out my Sailing Home suite - so much good stuff in here! First job was to pick my papers - I'm loving all the stripes to choose from! I thought for sure I was going to do my stamped elements all on circles, when I realized I could just go with my sail boats - there are two different sizes! Perfect! I got one circle in for my sentiment, and finished with a lovely anchor trinket, which let me even sneak in the twine, too. It's a matchy-matchy day! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!
