![]() Excellent - Time Out Challenges #254 has the perfect theme to kick off the new year - "NEW!" For me, I'm of course going to use NEW stamp sets, lol. This one has the added bonus of also being a new image for me - I've never had a telephone stamp, and I was super excited to fill in this gap in my images! I stamped a totally cute phone in Calypso Coral - and stamped off a word bubble for my simple "hello", too. I floated these over this pretty scalloped sheets from the Lighter Than Air pack - and stamped my phone cord directly on that so I could pop up all my other pieces - I so love to fussy cut, lol. Anyway, I finished with a few Calypso Coral Iridescent Gems - just a touch of sparkle!

![]() Very excited for a new NBUS #58 - with our new Spring Catty launch, I have a STACK to get inky! I decided that today was a "good day" to break in Filled With Happiness, which coordinates with the Modern Oval Punch. So many fun sentiments in this one! I did my background and envelope with this pretty linen sheet from the SAB Softly Stippled pack, and made up my backing Pool Party layer using the new Perennial Postage Dies! Like I said - SO much new stuff to play with, lol. I finished with a few of the SAB Opaque Faceted Gems in Pool Party - just the right touch! Filled With Happiness Stamp Set; Softly Stippled DSP; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pumpkin Pie, Old Olive, Pool Party & Lemon Lolly Blends Markers; Modern Oval Punch; Perennial Postage Dies; Pool Party Opaque Faceted Gems; #NBUS58. ![]() Birthday Cards 2024, Jan 13 at 2 pm!

I think I might be going a little TOO obscure for my own take on this one, lol - but I SO wanted to use the fabulous new Beach Day bundle! I just couldn't take it anymore, lol. I figured the guard shack could be a good take on that rectangle, and how "any shape" can I get than two surfboards?? Lol, well, it's a fun beachy scene, anyway, lol. I mixed in some new SAB paper from the Sunny Days pack, and did some fun sand with my Cheery Patterns EF. I even snuck on some old Whale of a Time Sequins! I can't wait to see YOUR fun takes on my sketch - meet you at the challenge!

We're kicking off our stampin' year with this wonderful sketch at As You See It #314! Ahhhh, my two favorite words, "any shape!" Challenge accepted, lol! What a perfect chance to break in the super cute Planted Paradise set - we were given this set for free as part of a recent event, and it had me stumped for a while! There are no sentiments with it, so I matched it with the now-available Heartfelt Hellos, a set you can earn FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! When a stamp set bogs me down, my first instinct is to go crazy with the color - I think that fixes everything, lol, so I have a colorful array of pretty pots arranged around my bold sentiment. So fun! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our pretty sketch - meet you at the challenge! Planted Paradise & Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Sets; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green Inks; Basics 2 EF; Lemon Lime Twist Tinsel Gems; #AYSI314. ![]() Birthday Cards 2024, Jan 13 at 2 pm!

Farm Quest Challenge Blog #43 has a quilt theme on this round! I went straight to my old Christmas Quilts bundle from 2017 - I still love it so much! I decided to make up a few pieced elements, just like I would with my scraps bag, lol, and I turned to my outgoing In Colors for some bright combos! I always start to feel a little anxious for the departing colors this time of year, lol - I know their retirement date will be in a few months, SOB. So you might be seeing them on the blog a bit more often now, lol! Anyway, so much fun!

I don't actually have too many over-size sentiments, or even dies, lol. I had to hit the Shelves of Retirement again for today, and came up with this one from 2020's Here's To Strong Women! I do still love this set, and I know just who I'm sending this card to! I couldn't resist floating it over my favorite purple mountains in the Enjoy The Journey DSP pack, so I did up my sentiment panel in Blackberry Bliss - more favorites, lol. I did a little ribbon fluff at the upper right corner instead of knots, and finished with the oh-so-versatile Iridescent Pearls. Love it! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our fun sketch this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

This time, I'm sliding over to their sister blog, Farm Quest General Store #10, since I didn't have quite enough time to make the regular challenge blog! Time to feature a farm animal! I once again dipped into my hoarded Day At The Farm DSP, and this time actually pulled out my On The Farm stamp set that goes with it! I had some fun coloring up this pretty cow, and a fancy barn for her background - definitely a Good Day! I love the bright clear colors on this DSP, just how I think of the country!

I really liked the choices on this inspo list - so may of my favorites! This ended up being one of my rare "no stamping" cards, too, lol - but I still love it! I went with bright colors using this stripey patterned sheet from last year's Celebrate Everything pack. I also added some Glossy Dots in Daffodil Delight, and used my Alphabet a la Mode dies for my "hello!" Got a lot in there, I think! I even rescued the center of my "O," lol, for just the right finishing touch, lol.

I decided I really wanted to try NOT to do sunflowers for this one, lol. What else could I stamp in those colors? How about a cactus?? Done! I pulled my Cactus Cuties set that retired in 2022, and started building my little succulent in a pot. Isn't it adorable? I also wanted to dress up the background, so I embossed my white panel with the Stripes EF, strategically adding an extra strip on one edge, as this is a narrower folder. I tied a little Old Olive Baker's Twine around the pot, and finished with some Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots for just a touch more color - love it! I can't wait to see YOUR sunny projects in our colors this round - meet you at the challenge!

Love it! For this one, I retrieved my Textures & Frames from the "for sale" box, lol - it seemed just right for creating a shape-filled background! I spent some time stamping and stamping off, and I think I did pretty well at keeping it balanced! For the sentiment, I turned to Something Fancy, and popped up my chosen saying over some Calypso Coral ribbon. I finished with some Iridescent Pastel Gems! Not my usual color scheme, but pretty cute, I think!
