![]() Time for another speed challenge at this round's As You See It #301 - and I picked seashells! Start the clock! As I usually do for a speed challenge, I made a lot of design decisions ahead of time, along with my plan of attack, lol, so I could get all my supplies ready. This time, I also mounted all my stamps on individual blocks and set them ready to hand, even! I started by choosing this perfect shell sheet from the now-retired By The Bay DSP that was originally released with the set. Then I got my cardstocks out, and my inks, ready to, along with my Blender Pen and Wink of Stella. I am never so prepared, lol. It all went on rails, except for having to do my sentiment a second time, when Sophie the lab wanted to see what I was doing with the Big Shot, sigh. I also slapped on some Night of Navy Baker's Twine I hadn't set out ahead, but I still had time! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy seashell creations - meet you at the challenge! Seaside Bay Stamp Set; By The Bay DSP (retired); Basic White & Sahara Sand (retired) CS; Night of Navy, Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam & Sahara Sand (retired) Inks; Blender Pen; Clear Wink of Stella; Seaside Bay & Layered Essentials Dies; Night of Navy Baker's Twine; Flat Pearls; #AYSI301.

![]() Such a sweet inspiration quote this round at Time Out Challenges #238! I decided to focus on the rainbow, and I snagged my Rainbow of Happiness bundle off the retired shelves to do it, lol. But how could I do something DIFFERENT with it? I focused quickly on the big partial arc die, and decided to try a simple inlaid die pattern! I also feel like our 2021-23 In Colors are PERFECT for rainbows, and I managed to squeeze in all five of them! I finished with this supportive sentiment, and some rhinestone "stars" - love how super simple this is!

We have another recipe challenge for you at this round's As You See It #299! Since I have a little stack of new toys still to get through, I wanted to pull in something from that! I snagged my new Nested Essentials dies to make a funky frame! I of course pulled Dainty Delights for my flowers, and chose a Lost Lagoon-Pool Party combo for my blues. I really like how this came out! At the last second, I used the same Nested shape for my sentiment, too - the smallest size JUST fit!

One of my go-to flower sets is still Color & Contour! I love the sketchy look of the floral images, and the sweet sentiments to go with! And of course, it has FABULOUS dies, too, lol. I went with this pretty stem today, and in honor of my birthday, did my fave combo of purple and green! Orchid Oasis and Granny Apple Green were made for each other, lol, and I still have the original DSP, and Matte Dots to play with, too! Love how this came out!

So super excited to see Corduroy as this month's selection at Once Upon a Time #9! One of our faves! As I recall, we actually had a Corduroy collection in a larger hard-back - so many cute stories, lol. Anyway, I wanted to stick to CAS-ing the book cover today, and I only have one bear set that also has clothes, so today we get a GIRL bear, lol. My old Bear Hugs set from 2010 has some hats and bows, and this cute skirt, lol, so that's the way I went! I used my Tufted EF for the background, and even though my gal doesn't need any buttons, I added some Matte White Dots to carry the theme! Yay!

I just happened to spot the perfect sentiment in my new Timeless Arrangements set - you're going to love this one! The dies for cut a few elegant stems, and also some delicate botanical sprays set on blocks - this makes them SUPER easy to tuck behind the lovely sentiment blocks! I layered two of them behind my kindness sentiment today, and had some fun in the blues again by riffing off the sweet Countryside Inn DSP. I set everything over one big Navy heart, then couldn't resist adding three tiny white ones, too. Loving how this came out!

I have more new goodies to share today! Our upcoming Countryside Corners are perfect for the frame challenge! I ended up not using the stamp, but the dies and DSP were wonderful, lol. I'm also showing my very first foray into close-cut sentiments - I have resisted these so far, not sure I liked the look of diecut sentiments, but I think they could grow on me! I started with some gorgeous darker DSP, added an embossed layer, then a frame in a lighter sheet - Countryside Inn is the cutest name for the DSP! I floated in my sentiment, and fussy cut a couple foxes for fun - bluesy cute!

I have yet another retiring feature today, too, lol. Cup of Tea is such a cutie, and the dies that go with it are just fabulous! I have gotten every tea set I've spotted since I joined, and I have a spot on the shelves of retirement ready and waiting for this one, lol. I kept lots of white space for this one, though I did pull in my Brick & Mortar EF. I just love this patterned cup, and the delicate stems to go with! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge!

Make My Monday #197 is "P is for..." I think that TODAY, "P" is for pomegranate! This was such a fun set, and I didn't get to use it nearly enough back during SAB, lol. I'm happy to pair it with this elegant sentiment from Something Fancy, too - a thought for every occasion! Merry Merlot seems like a great fit for pomegranates, too - so sorry to see this color go! I don't think it got enough love either, lol.

After a brief search, I found my almost completely unused pack of our All Together DSP - this was the cute little 6" x 6" pack that was released when we debuted our set of Natural Tones Blends Markers. This pack was made to color, and has some awesome black and white patterns! I found this leafy sheet that I liked, and went hunting for a botanical set to go with it - enter Plentiful Plants, lol. I stuck with a basic layout and layered everything for even more drama! My Matte Black Dots really pop out the dot accents on the DSP, too!
