Cardz 4 Guyz #338 is back from their break, and they want to see something new from our stash! Yay! This seems like a great time to test the ink on our new Trusty Tools suite - it' fabulous! I started small with just one stamped image - the paintbrush, lol. But I did it in three different colors, and got to9 also play with the two and three stamps for it - I so love the detail we can add! The die was perfect - so fun that it cuts the tiny hole for hanging the handle, too, and I went with this subtle gray granite sheet from the perfect SAB DSP that goes with it all! I thought this looked more "painty," lol, but it was tough because the back is also gorgeous! I popped up part of my sentiment on this fun panel from the dies, on Smoky Slate so it would stand out a little from the Granite. Just so well-designed! Trusty Tools Stamp Set; Trusty Toolbox DSP; Basic White, Poppy Parade & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Lost Lagoon & Crushed Curry Inks; Trusty Tools Dies; Matte Black Dots; #C4G338.

We have such a playful color combo for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #427! As I went for a browse of my stamps, Timeless Arrangements caught my eye - I think I haven't used it in a bit! This time, I wanted to play with some of the extra stems that come in the stamps, and also have dies - so sweet! I pulled a first run sheet of Berry Burst DSP for my background, and set to work. This sentiment is the one I use the most, so I layered it with some Mossy Meadow leaves, and colored up a few of the stems with Water Painters - love the soft look! I also floated this pretty arrangement over this awesome banner shape from Nested Essentials, and finished with a few Faceted Gems - love it! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun colors this round - meet you at the challenge!

So many pretty blues - I'll just take a wee break from Christmas today, lol. I chose two like sheets, that had some good contrast - I just love this foxy sheet! I pulled in my recently acquired Season of Chic bundle again, too - today we have the big "thanks" and this pretty blossom detail - just right for the sketch!

I am LOVING the inspiration quote at this round's Time Out Challenge #250! It says it all! Since the quote talks about waves, I decided to pull in Waves of Inspiration - I have rarely used this gorgeous set - crazy! Even though it has some wonderful dies, I opted for using the beautiful wave image stamp - I colored it up in three different blues, and layered it over some Coastal Cabana. I also couldn't resist pulling in some of the Waves of the Ocean DSP that was released with the original pre-order of the set - love these paper sheets still! For my sentiment I pulled in this beauty from Something Fancy - I feel like that's what gratitude really is - everyday magic!

I have a nice collection of new goodies to try for this month's NBUS #55! Yay! I started with one of my pre-order sets for the next Online Exclusives release - available November 7! This adorable little beaver is part of the Fluffiest Friends set - a collection of chonky little critters bundled with wonderful dies! I broke my personal shopping rule with this one - since it has no sentiments (GASP!) I paired it with our playful Happy Labels set - a match made in Heaven! I don't feel too bad about the rule for these guys - it's CRITTERS, and I love them all! I've also slipped in some preview DSP, Bee Mine, part of the Bee My Valentine suite we get to pre-order for our On Stage event in November! You're going to love the honey-sweet patterns in this pack!

Love this - Time Out Challenges #247 has a wonderful camping inspiration pic for us this round! I so love this pretty lakeside scene, and it triggered a memory for me of something I have with a rowboat - a quick search and out came 2021's By The Dock! I had to really dig to build this scene so that I could fit in all the elements I wanted, and I actually had to rethink it twice, lol - not something I do too often! Eventually I landed on this water scene, with the dock, of course, and our little boat tied up, and a bit of soggy shoreline, too. I think this is the one!

We have a lovely banner sketch for you this round at Sunday Stamps #318! The first thing I saw was the "any shape" opportunity, lol, so I knew immediately I needed to do a leaf! So of course I had to trot out my Autumn Leaves suite for this one! I just finished designing a suit focus set for this one, so this sketch was ALSO perfect for diving into a few scraps I still have left! I had to hunt through all the class boxes for the stamps I wanted, but it was SO worth it! I think Moody Mauve is turning into my favorite new In Color! I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge! Autumn Leaves Stamp Set; All About Autumn DSP; Very Vanilla, Moody Mauve & Crumb Cake CS; Moody Mauve Ink; Autumn Leaves Dies; Distressed Tile EF; Speckled Dots in Moody Mauve; #SSC318. Wow, the September challenge for If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #184 looks super YUM! Look at all that chocolate! I really did almost make a box of chocolates, lol, but I went instead for Wildlife Wonder - I haven't used it in a bit, and I LOVE this bear, lol. I was also psyched to see I stuck a mask for his feet inside the case, so I could stamp his ground image without any overlap - yes! I did up my bear in Pecan Pie, and added lots of Early Espresso details, except for my Pecan Pie Solid Gems - pie and a coffee, mmm, now I need a snack! Wildlife Wonder Stamp Set; Early Espresso DSP (retired); Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla CS; Early Espresso & Pecan Pie Inks; Deckled Rectangles & Radiating Stitches Dies; Faux Suede Trim; Pecan Pie Solid Gems; #Cookie184. So glad to have a new round at NBUS #54 - always fun to play with something new! I don't think I could get a better straight line to finally break in my new Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks! The layered sunflower images have really been calling me, so that's what I'm trying first - so easy to use! The layering stencils themselves are notched to make them easier to align, but I'm not sure you even need that, they're so well designed! Love how nice and heavy the stencil material is! After I blended on my flowers, which I tried to keep a little on the brighter side, I finished with this cute "thank you" from Something Fancy - just right! So happy with how this came out!

I pulled out my Vertical Blooms set for this one - love that big vertical "thanks to you" sentiment! I'm still working on building the stacked flowers - the one you see is my second attempt, lol. I do like the little trick of adding that tiny bloom trio to the top to finish it, though - closure is so good! Checking over the inspo list, I made my flowers in Daffodil Delight, and added some pretty Lemon Lime Twist ribbon, too! So I managed to hit yellow, ribbon, flowers and thank you for this one - not too bad! I finished with a few Parakeet Party Matte Dots, that match the ribbon spot on! Anyone else loving Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green together?? Yum!
