![]() So excited to play again at Inspire Create Challenge #153 - and they'd like to see a Fall or Halloween theme this round! I naturally turned again to our gorgeous All About Autumn suite for this one, lol - I just can't get enough of this DSP! I did a simple split layout - not a division I use too often, and then laid a couple pretty leaves over it. The sentiment was a cinch with the little banner shapes included in the dies, too. I even still had enough copper ribbon left to throw on there, and I finished with some Wild Wheat Glossy Dots. I like how this one came together - I really didn't have a plan before starting, lol.

![]() So lovely! We have a fabulous landscape sketch this round at Sunday Stamps #320! This seems like a perfect chance to show off a simple layout for the gorgeous new Night Divine bundle, and paired with the O Holy Night DSP! The stamp set is a collection of glorious nativity sentiments, in beautiful flowing fonts, and the dies are spectacular - all the pieces you need to build a lovely stylized scene! I didn't show half of what I could use on this card! I selected this desert landscape for my background and shortened the stable walls to fit it all in our layout, topping off with the smallest sentiment, lol. Love it all, every bit! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun landscape sketch - meet you at the challenge!

I really wanted to play with some critters today, and I wasn't sure I could find anything I could use for my favorite colors - green and purple - if I did, lol. A really crazy chicken? Then I spotted the bike-riding gator in Zany Zoo, and knew it was all good, lol. I also realized I could finally safely use one of the black and white patterns on the BACK of all the cute critter sheets in the DSP pack - I don't actually have any ballerinas in my life, lol. So I cut a strip of this sheet and used a blender brush to add Berry Burst for my purple. I colored my gator with BOTH lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green, and added a few Berry Burst details to the bike. At the last second I embossed the white panel with the retired Dot To Dot EF - looks like gator skin to me! I'm so happy with how cute this came out!

For the month of October, If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #185 wants us to use BLACK! So spooky, lol! For this one, I had to hit the retired shelves - I don't have the current set! I pulled Spooktacular Bash from 2019 - still one of my favorites, lol, especially with those Ornate Frames dies! I found some old batty paper from the Ghostly Greetings pack (SO old, lol) and stamped up this handsome fellow. I gave him a Cherry Cobbler edge to his frame, and also cut one of the fancy ones to float him over, and stamped the sentiment in Cherry, too. I figured a vampire's accent color should be blood red, right? A little Cherry Cobbler twine and few drops of blood (tee hee) and we are all set!

I have to think about how to keep this CAS! I decided to keep all my blending along one edge, so I could keep a nice open field of white - I think we had another challenge here like this, now that I think about it, lol. Anyway, I chose some contrasting colors, and went to town, kind of in a colorful evening sky kind of way! I decided to stick with silhouette images in Black, and did a partial of this cute row of firs from Forever Forest. Since this set has no sentiments, I went with this one from Above It All - Christmas-y without actually SAYING Christmas, lol. A few tiny coordinating matte dots finishes things off. Pretty low-key, but with a nice splash of color!

As soon as I saw the beautiful Cherry Cobbler sheet in our special release Traditions of St. Nick DSP, I SO knew I'd be featuring out Saint Nicholas bundle! I so love these old-time Santa images and fonts! This fireside scene on the DSP is straight out of The Nutcracker in my mind, lol. Anyway, I did a simple background for the gift-bearing St. Nick, and smudged both he and the fancy sentiment up with a Blender Pen. Some Cherry Cobbler twine and dots and I was good to go! I can't wait to see YOUR monochrome Christmas projects, too - see you at the challenge!

I have another one from the vault for you today - this is Old Fashioned Christmas from 2000! I swear that visiting stash has so many cuties in it, it has been SO fun to play with! I was tempted by the jolly Santa in this set, but really, when you're in the mood to color, there's nothing like a decked-out traditional Christmas tree, lol. It was a moment thinking about what coloring tools there were back when this set came out - thank goodness for my Blends! With all that coloring, I kept the layout and design pretty basic! I can't wait to see YOUR retro projects - what's in the vault for you? Meet you at the challenge!

I knew I needed to pull out the awesome All About Autumn DSP for this one - the photo pages are just wonderful! Today I featured this aerial shot over turning leaves - time to break out a thermos to go with that cooler weather, too! Lol, sometimes you just want to play with ALL the Fall toys... I did some accents in Copper Clay, colored a tiny mountain scene sticker for the carafe, and, since today is hubby's birthday, threw in a birthday sentiment, too! That's a lot of action for one card! I can't wait to see your pretty Fall colors, too - meet you at the challenge!

Looking over the list, I couldn't resist turning to my beloved Merry Bold & Bright DSP pack for this green and blue stripey sheet - so perfect! When I saw the "frame" item, I thought of the two different frames that fit the punch in our sneak peek Heartfelt Hexagon bundle, which also happens to have this sweet "hugs" sentiment! They were all made for each other, lol. I even snuck in a little silver thread for a metallic embellishment. I think this simple and cheery card says it all - just right for the occasion, too!

I thought I'd give the digi a try, such cute critters, but then I couldn't get it printed onto cardstock, lol, so I punted! I ended up combining this sentiment from Something Fancy with the Timeless Arrangements dies, along with a fussy cut Ribbon of Hope. Just a quick little arrangement all in Calypso Coral and Petal Pink! I even found some Calypso Coral linen Thread for one last extra detail. I'm really pleased by how this came out - such pretty and fine details!
