This is so catchy, lol - The Sisterhood of Crafters would like us to "make a scene!" So fun! As I went hunting for good scene setting sets, Grassy Grove caught my eye. I think I've only stamped with it once, and even worse, I don't think I've EVER used the gorgeous dies I actually got the bundle for, lol. Today's the day! It struck me that I could do an amazing silhouette scene, against the right background. Rather than ink blending my own fiery sunset sheet, I cheated (a little, lol) and cut this panel from my beloved Enjoy The Journey pack! I have found so many ways to use this paper, I hope I never run out, lol. Anyway, I finally used the cool tree die to create my landscape, and I tucked these two deer in there, too. Love it!

Don't you just love our vertically layered sketch this round at Retro Rubber #214?? I sure do! Browsing through the Shelves of Retirement, my old Press On set from 2020 caught my eye - love this one! Though it doesn't have dies, it's a fun one to color and simple to fussy cut - lots of straight lines! I even tried my hand at the curvy steam image, so I could cover my card front in yummy coffee DSP, lol. I finished with some Cherry Cobbler punched hearts for a pop of color, and some Classic Matte Dots - super cute! I can't wait to see where you take our Retro sketch this round - meet you at the challenge! Press On Stamp Set (retired 2020); Crumb Cake & Early Espresso DSP; Basic White, Pool Party, Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party & Crumb Cake Blends Markers; Heart to Heart Punch (retired); Stylish Shapes Dies; Classic Matte Dots; #RRCB214. Such a gorgeous combo at this round's In{k}spire Me #512! Love the colors, and the sketch is so versatile! Our stunning Gorgeously Made suite is a natural fit for these challenges, and that's right where I headed! I started by pulling this delicate botanical sheet in Fresh Freesia from the DSP pack, Masterfully Made. I cut my panel triplets, and did a little stamped off background stamping with the text block image, and then added these sprigs from the dies. A little more stamped off filler on my sentiment banner, and I just repeated the "thank you" down the line. I finished with a few Berry Burst Tinsel Gems - my go to these days, lol. I just love how this came out!

Such a wonderful recipe card we have this round at As You See It #305! Love it! Gotta make sure to get in ALL the ingredients! This challenge is giving me a chance to show off several new and upcoming items - yay! I'm not sure why, but this super cute thermos set, Warmest Heart, really grabbed me! And since it has a little sun icon for your favorite flask, I knew I wanted to try it out here! I set up a background of our new Deckled Circles (eee!) in different retired DSPs, then planned out my thermos. I knew I wanted the sun, but I also wanted to try one of the print patterns for it, so I die-cut all that, and colored in my lid with a Blend. I'm so tickled with how cute this came out! I can't wait to see YOUR sunny cards for this one - meet you at the challenge!

It was fun to pull out and play with my Sweet Citrus bundle - I didn't even fire up the hybrid embossing folder, lol. I did some citrus outlines in Crushed Curry, and filled in with Lemon Lolly, with details and leaves in Granny Apple Green - yum! I also played with the little blossoms for the first time - so sweet! I floated it all over our old Layered Leaves EF from 2020 - just right! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our fresh inspiration board this round - meet you at the challenge!

To me, clean and simple means lots of white space, and not too many layers, so that's what I tried to stick to. I opted for this lovely delicate spray to color from Dainty Delight, with a pretty sentiment floated over it. At the last second, I opted to do my sentiment on a color panel, lol, so I did stray from the white a bit, AND I adhered a couple twists of linen thread behind it. I do like the movement it adds! I finished with a few little Lemon Lolly Solid Gems. I do love this simple and delicate card! Dainty Delight Stamp Set; Basic White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lolly, Bubble Bath & Balmy Blue Blends Markers; Countryside Corners Dies; Linen Thread; Lemon Lolly Solid Gems; #TFC82. I hope you like my colors this round at As You See It #303 - I'm missing the Chesapeake! I guess I kind of CAS'ed my picture, too! Now even though THESE crabs aren't the same as my beloved Blue Crabs, I couldn't resist playing Seaside Bay for today's colors! And Stone Crabs are also super tasty, lol, if a bit more work! I did a trio in three of my colors, after dressing up my Gray Granite DSP background with sand and shells, and the Deckled Rectangles seems perfect for my sentiment! A few Crumb Cake scallop shells, and some Sea Glass clusters, and I am done! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on these salty colors - meet you at the challenge!

We have so much scope for these colors in our subtles collection, and I don't play there much, lol. So this was fun! I wanted to play again with the beautiful Timeless Arrangements bundle, and try it in these lighter colors - I'm so stuck on all our new blues these days, time for a reset! I am smitten with how this came out, and I used Crumb Cake with my pastels to try and keep everything pretty light. I think it worked! I floated everything over some Soft Sea Foam, and coordinated with Petal Pink. I finally tried my hand at some of the image stamps in the set, too - lovely! Timeless Arrangements Stamp Set; Soft Sea Foam DSP; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Petal Pink CS; Crumb Cake & Petal Pink Inks; Sot Sea Foam, Lemon Lolly & Balmy Blue Blends Markers; Timeless Arrangements Dies; Petal Pink Striped Ribbon from Duo Pack; White Matte Dots; #Cookie182.

I didn't spot anything current that really grabbed me, so off to the Shelves of Retirement for me! I eventually landed on one of my oldest sets: 2005's Fashion Statements! I still love the images AND sentiments in this one - really unique, lol. And today's is one of my favorites! Who doesn't love coloring bras every color of the rainbow? And since my Patchwork Pieces dies came in today, they got to play, too! This one always makes ME laugh, anyway, lol...

The Male Room #175 would like us to make a shaker card for them this round! To start this one off, I began by hunting out all my little stashes of likely shaker material, lol. When I came across my old Sequins For Everything collection, I knew I wanted to do the orange-ish one, and I finally settled on Brewed For You to go with! I wanted to see what a tall and foamy would look like in Wild Wheat, too - looks pretty good, I think! I'm really happy with my shaker window - having that little cut out let me trace my "well" directly on the background - made it SO much easier to place my window layer, lol. Fun, fun!
