![]() Another fun combo out at In{k}spire Me #508 - check out all the new colors together! I wanted to try for both sides of the challenge, of course, and decided to go with Circle Sayings to get me started! Not an oval, but still, it works! I pulled in this sentiment from Happy Labels to go with, so I chose the seashells for my images - the beach is always a happy place for us! I worked out how I'd get all the colors in, too - I even still have some of the original release DSP in Lemon Lime Twist! In what has to be a first for me, I realized that these loose stripes worked better than polka dots - I can't believe it! I couldn't resist fussy cutting some tiny shells for the bottom of the sketch, and finishing with some coordinated embellies, too. So fun! Circle Sayings & Happy Labels Stamp Sets; Lemon Lime Twist DSP; Basic White, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Bubble Bath CS; Pecan Pie Ink; Blender Pen; Bubble Bath Blends Marker; 2 3/8" Circle Punch; Pink Sequins; Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon (from the Duo Pack!); #IMC508. ![]() Pumpkin Club July 1!

![]() Nice - GREAT summer theme at this round's AAA Cards #242 - everything beach! I couldn't resist pulling out Seaside View from 2021 for this one - you know me, it's all about the loafing! I kept my image really pared down, but did a little fussy cutting to add some depth over a lightly blended background. I popped up this beautiful sentiment, and finished with some gulls to watch, and tiny pieces of pretty beach glass. Just the perfect day, if you ask me! Seaside View Stamp Set (retired 2021); Basic White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake & Pool Party Inks; Blender Brushes; Pool Party, Crumb Cake & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Seasonal Labels Dies (retired); Faux Sea Glass Shapes (retired); #AAA242. ![]() Pumpkin Club July 1!

I decided to keep the fruity theme going set my by teammates, lol, and pulled out my still-adored Cute Fruit set from 2021! I love happy fruit, lol. I did my favorites from that set and then couldn't resist an all-over background layer in carefully hoarded Tropical Oasis DSP, showing off some serious tropical fruit! Yum! Love all these bright summer colors! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for kicking off a bright summer ahead - meet you at the challenge! Cute Fruit Stamp Set (retired 2021); Tropical Oasis DSP (retired); Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & Early Espresso Inks; Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots; #RRCB209. ![]() We're taking things "on the water" for our challenge this round at Make My Monday #203! In celebration of us FINALLY getting our 25+year-old pool refinished, I decided to keep my water close to home - the back yard, in fact, lol. Here in Arizona, having a pool is a slightly necessary evil (I know, 1st world problems, lol.) Even if you don't really want a pool, if you have one, you have to maintain it, ugh. We finally bit the bullet and got it fixed back up - no more crumbling stairs or bench, and a finish that holds its seal - yes! I hope I look this cute later this week when I go test it out, lol - I couldn't resist trying out the other dies in that rogue set I had to have from yesterday - putting them away now, lol... I can't wait to see YOUR water projects this round, too - meet you at the challenge! Happy Labels Stamp Set; Bright & Beautiful DSP; Pool Party, Basic Black, Blush Blossom (retired) & Berry Burst CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Simply Graphic Les Nageuses Dies; Berry Burst Tinsel Gems; #MMM203. ![]() Ah, what a great theme for summer at this round's Time Out Challenge #240 - "sportive!" Today I get to try something I almost never do - I'm showing off a set of dies that are NOT SU!, lol. I spotted these beauties at a challenge I played, and I HAD to have them! I was so excited that they arrived in time to make a debut at this challenge - I played with different images than what originally caught my attention. I paper pieced these diving beauties to coordinate with their playful floaties - a little more intricate than I usually see - what fun! It was a natural to pull out Sunny Splash for my sentiment! I was hoping for something sporty, playful and fun - sportive, that is! Sunny Splash Stamp Set (retired 2023); Fresh As a Daisy & retired Real Red, Pacific Point & Mango Melody DSP; Basic White, Real Red & Blush Blossom (retired) CS; Versamark Ink; White EP; Simply Graphic Les Nageuses Dies; Cherry Cobbler Matte Decorative Dots; #TOC240. ![]() Now this is a cute idea, lol! AAA Cards #241 wants to see hot or cold drinks! With it so warm here these days, I thought at first I'd be doing some tropical drinks for summer, lol, but then I realized this was a great chance to use a new image from my Coffee With Friends set! I've been wanting work in these two cups and croissants since I first spotted this set, lol, and this two-part sentiment is just right! It's all tidy enough for a CAS card, too, so here we are! Now I just need some Moody Mauve coffee cups in real life, lol... Coffee With Friends Stamp Set; Early Espresso DSP; Very Vanilla CS; Early Espresso Ink; Moody Mauve, Smoky Slate, SU300 & SU500 Blends Markers; Neutrals Adhesive-Backed Sequins; #AAA241. ![]() Man Cards 2023 on June 10!

Since we've just had our pool refinished, I knew I had to go with this cute goose in her pool floatie - that's how to spend the summer in Arizona! For the background, I used this cool water sheet from Let's Go Fishing - perfect for geese, too, lol. I kept design and layout simple and classic, and added some bright spots with Flirty Flamingo details - I love coloring with our Blends Markers so much! I can't wait to see YOUR summer fun - meet you at the challenge!

That's what I'm thinking after looking over this cool inspiration pic at this round's Time Out Challenge #239! Looking at this lovely cocktail cart, I decided to get out my Bottled Happiness set! I also floated everything over a Copper Foil layer, because of all those pretty julep cups on the bottom shelf! I did my bottles in fairly "spirit" colors - brown, green - only one clear one, lol - and finished with a few Fine Sparkle Gems. It's 5 o'clock somewhere, right? Bottled Happiness Stamp Set; Basic White & Copper Foil CS; Old Olive, Pool Party, Pecan Pie & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Deckled Rectangles Dies; Fine Sparkle Gems; #TOC239. ![]() Man Cards 2023 on June 10!

I've not read it, but it's waiting on my kindle now, lol. With such a bold cover design, I treated the book front as a sketch, lol, one of my favorite tricks! I also went a little inter-stellar with this one: the intriguing Stargazing suite was still waiting on my desk to be tried out! Time to dabble! I found this spacey Milky Way sheet in the DSP to serve as my diagonal, and added different colored planets also from the DSP instead of "windows," lol. I'm pretty stoked with my final results - a little stellar sentiment goes in the middle, and I even had some Adhesive-Backed Stars left over from the holiday catty! Not too shabby! So happy the Library has re-opened! Reach for the Stars Stamp Set; Stargazing DSP; Basic White & Blueberry Bushel CS; Grapefruit Grove & Blue Foils (both retired); Blueberry Bushel Ink; Reach for the Stars Dies; Adhesive-Backed Stars; #TLC81. ![]() This looks like a fun one, lol, Festive Friday #134 is celebrating National Smile Day! I knew I had to use this smiley sentiment from my Sending Smiles set - love it! I did use the other flower, though. This one reminds me of lavender, but I made it yellow for the challenge, lol. It has to be done, and I think it's great! Anyway, I have yellow, black, smile sentiment, and enamel dots - that's plenty for National Smile Day! I went a little crazy with my stems, too! Sending Smiles Stamp Set; Basic White, Daffodil Delight & Basic Black CS; Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Sending Dies; Matte Black Dots; #FF0134. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 27!
