Lol, Shopping Our Stash #509 would like us to "emboss like a boss!" Will do! Some time ago, I was fascinated by some work I saw, where the stamper dry embossed some pieces, and then heat embossed over it - it looked really cool, and I wanted to try it, so I experimented some gold emboss over a Night of Navy panel in Absolutely Argyle. I did love the effect, like a patina! I didn't have a plan for it, and stashed it in my Navy scrap folder in case something came up. Well, today was that day, lol! I decided to pair the panel with Distressed Gold and the He's All That bundle, which has those cool little argyle dies! I floated this classic birthday sentiment over it all and finished with a few Navy Enamel Dot Essentials. I think it came out pretty spiffy, and masculine, too! Not bad for a stash find!

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!

Very nice - Inspire Create Challenges #155 has the cutest sketch this round! Let's play! I decided to finally give my sneakie peek of the Bee My Valentine suite a try for this one, lol. Check out that honey DSP! Hands down, my fave sheet in the pack, for sure, lol. I did a chubby little bee for my sentiment circle - so fun! I even did wings and antennae on vellum - trying something new, lol. I finished with a couple of the cute hearts from the Hearts & Flowers embellishments - just so sweet! "You're as sweet as honey" is stamped inside! I haven't gotten a Valentine's set in so long, this is definitely a super cutie!

Such a fun sketch we have for you this round at Sunday Stamps #322! I decided to dip into some pretty DSP for this one, and I have pulled out the lovely Countryside Inn pack for a while! 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 did add an inside sentiment, too - "you are amazing beyond measure!" A few Boho Blue Glossy Dots finish things off!

This is a big day for me - I get to try out a new-to-me blog challenge! Farm Quest #39 is having a "corn" challenge, lol - awesome! Off the top of my head, the only corn I could think of that I have is from the awesome Chick Dies, that are now retired. I decided to combine them with my Hay Chuck set - chickens really like to hang out together, right? I pulled some also-retired Day At The Farm DSP for my background paper, and set about building my corny scene, lol. I did a little fence line to tuck the corn behind, and built a few stalks for my favorite Chuck to do his special dance in front of! I always think the birthday sentiments are perfect for this one! What a fun challenge! Hey Chuck Stamp Set; Day At The Farm DSP (retired); Basic White, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Hey Chuck, Chick (retired) & Deckled Circles Dies; #FQCB39. Wow, In{k}spire Me #518 has another cool combo - I like BOTH sides of this challenge! Such an unusual color combo - I immediately went digging through my DSP scraps to see what I could cover with that, lol. I found this lovely Crushed Curry plaid, and this spiffy Crumb Cake stripes, so I floated those over a panel of Pebbled Path and was on my way! I originally planned to do some kind of graduated flowers for my Berry Burst details, but then I spotted my Pick of the Patch Stamp Set, and knew I needed to use that, just so cute! I even finished with a few Berry Burst Tinsel Gems - perfection!

Let's make this a memorable holiday season together! Such a striking color presentation at this round's AAA Cards #252 - I'm loving the purples! I saw plenty of inspiration to make a Christmas card with these lovely colors, too, so that's just what I did! I have Christmas on the brain all the time these days, lol. I decided to play with sponging color on this fun stamp from the Wishes All Around set - I have a lot of wreath sets, but nothing with this cool ring of trees! I started by inking it up in Pool Party, then daubing on some Fresh Freesia and Blackberry Bliss. I felt like the Freesia didn't show as much as I wanted, so I cut my background wreath from that, and added some Tinsel Gems, too. My sentiment went right in the middle in Blackberry - love how this came out!

Let's make this a memorable holiday season together! We have the CUTEST theme this round at Christmas Craft Creations - "add a hat!" Brilliant! I went through all my Christmas sets to hunt down my favorite hat, lol, and was smitten when I spotted this beauty on my nutcracker man in Santa 'Stache from 2014 - what a spiffy topper! I couldn't resist floating him over these gorgeous classic stripes from the old Dashing DSP pack, and taking my color cues from there as well. Isn't he handsome?? Ladies always like the uniforms, they say, lol. I hope you can join us, and add a hat yourself! Meet you at the challenge!

Let's make this a memorable holiday season together! We have a wonderful stacked sketch for you this round at Retro Rubber #219! I think everyone knows I like to play shapes for all they're worth, lol, and I sure did that with today's card! Browsing my shelves of retirement, I was keeping an eye open for any longer graduated shapes, also checking the dies. When I spotted 2019's Night in Bethlehem, I was sold - I could cut apart one of the long city-scape dies and make my triple stack from that! They were all so long, I almost thought I'd have to go landscape, but I made it fit with some strategic dimensionals and double-dimensionals, lol. It actually came together very quickly! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun sketch - we have some great imspiration for you over at the challenge - see you there!

We have a great prompt this round for you at Make My Monday #213 - called "lighting the way" - candles, light bulbs, lanterns, Christmas lights - you get the idea! I have just the thing for this one, though I did almost go back to my beloved Lighting the Way set, lol. But I'm in Christmas mode now, so it HAD to be Merry & Bright! I played again with the round bulbs today, over their awesome background sheet! This time, I hid my light-cord ends under my snipped sentiment pieces - worked like a charm! Another fun one to piece together in topsy-turvy ways, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR "lighting" projects - meet you at the challenge!
