![]() CAS Christmas has a lovely new challenge for us for July, a nativity! Love this! I'm so excited because we have a new one this year at SU!, with dies and everything! Introducing Peaceful Nativity, that has so many lovely elements - too many for a CAS card, lol. I hope I still qualify with my textured layer, but either way, it's been fun breaking this set in... I couldn't resist including the donkey at least on the envelope, and how do you like that fancy foil star? Truly, a wonderful celebration!

![]() Yay! Another fun and summery grid to play with at this month's Joy of Sets #018! After my usual dithering, I finally settled on the right-hand column, animals - ombre - fussy cut. I also decided to check out my new fave DSP pack Whale of a Time for something ombre, just in case! I totally lucked out when I spotted this waves sheet - swoon! Whale Done is IN! And since this suite features a punch for the Whale, I had to fussy cut my turtles, lol - see how it all works out?? I added some seaweed diecuts from the Smooth Sailing dies that go with Sailing Home, and since I had it out, I went with a sentiment from that set, too. I'm really happy with how ocean-y this came out, lol.

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!

I had some fun picking my colors to approximate our inspiration today - they look so cool all stacked up together! Once I had a tropical idea in my head, it was also hard to pivot away from that, so I just let myself go with it and pulled in Waterfront to build my scene. I added some sunny speckles to my background, and a bit of ribbon, finishing with the Candy Dots - I miss these little guys so much! I can't wait to see what YOU do with our colors - I'll meet you at the challenge! Waterfront Stamp Set; Whisper White & Mint Macaron CS; Pretty Peacock.

Now I FINALLY get a chance to take out the new SAB papers out for a spin - take a look at the lovely So Very Vellum, and the gorgeous Flowering Foils! I think I like these foiled sheets even more than ones we've had in the past - they aren't printed on glossy CS, so they take color PERFECTLY! You're also getting a little sneak peek at Ornate Thanks - a set that will be in our next Big Book, but will be available for you to pre-order next month! Wait'll you see this giant suite! So glad I had a chance to show all this off at once - see what an awesome sketch can do??

Still time for some sweetness! I decided to go on a different track this time: the other day, I was looking at this chevron stamp when I used Believe You Can last, and I got to thinking about how it would be fun to play with color with it. Well, today's that day, lol. I did a chevron column in reds (only a tiny bit wavy, lol), with a couple heart clusters, topped off by this beautiful classic Valentine's sentiment from Heart to Heart. So fun! Now I want to try doing the chevron in all different colors, not just tones of one. The wheels are spinning!

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!

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!

Just in time for gift-giving! I have to admit, I kinda took an easy way out, and went and browsed all my dies for something cute and not used recently. And I came across the Cutie Pie dies, which, {GASP} I seriously can't remember EVER using! How sad is that? I'm pretty sure I had visions of building fun paper cakes and all kinds of triangle designs, but I think it passed me by, lol. I don't even have the stamp set that goes with this anymore - I think it might have been from 2015? Anyway, I looked at the dies, and thought, you know, you could do a funny Christmas tree with this and fill it with a gift card and Hershey kisses for the neighbor kid who watches the dogs sometimes - so I did just that! He'll love it! Cutie Pie Dies (2015?); Old Olive, Whisper White & Real Red CS; Real Red Stitched Edge Ribbon; Red Metallic Baker's Twine; Red Sequins; #TMR126. ![]() Pumpkin Club December 28!

This week's Library Challenge #46 is the wonderful The Sewing Machine by Natalie Fergie - what a great read! So this one ended up being a tough one for me, since I apparently don't have my Sew Suite set anymore - bummer! Fortunately, I could still bring in my Needle & Thread set to save the day! I kept things fairly simple and chose a lovely background sheet from the Needlepoint Nook DSP, then made a pretty stitched medallion for a quiet but cheery get well. I finished with a few needlepoint details and tiny rhinestones. I love all these blues together!
