![]() Woo hoo! It's tic-tac-toe time again at this round's Retro Rubber #216! I had to study this one for a while, lol. Fortunately, I just came into a stash of vintage SU! stuff that I'll be re-homing, and my adventures sorting through it all yielded some real gems! I ended up going with patterned paper-your choice-circles, with my choice being Christmas! I couldn't resist when I spotted this DSP from way back when I FIRST started with SU! So much nostalgia! I pulled out two circle sheets from the Dashing DSP pack from 2006, and did up a simple layered layout. 2006's Circle of Friendship seemed a natural fit, so I layered that up a bit, too, and gave it a little ribbon sash, lol. Quick, cute and fun, just how I remember, lol. I can't wait to see how YOU play our game this round - meet you at the challenge! Circle of Friendship Stamp Set (retired 2006); Dashing DSP (retired); Very Vanilla & Real Red CS; Real Red Ink; 1 1/4" & 1 1/2" Circle Punches; Faux Linen Ribbon in Real Red; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #RRCB216. ![]() Pumpkin Club September 30!

![]() For this round at Make My Monday #210, we'd like you to create your own background! What does that mean to you?? To me, that meant to stamp my own "DSP!" I WISH we had some pretty kiwi paper, lol, but we don't, so I made my own! I randomly stamped a few full kiwi slices around, and filled in with the wedges. I also did some of the speckled background included with the set in the white spaces, stamping off twice so I didn't distract from my juicy fruits! I floated the appropriate sentiment over it all, and finished with a few Matte Black Dots. So juicy! I can't wait to see YOUR backgrounds this rounds - meet you at the challenge!

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!

Christmas Craft Creations has a Metallics challenge for September! I think I still have yesterday's brights on the brain, because I immediately thought of the new foils I got with the Merry Bold & Bright suite! The foils have sheets of both Melon Mambo AND Granny Apple Green! This gave me a chance to play more with a few of the Merry & Bright elements I haven't had out yet, too. I thought the filament die was super cute to add to my foil bulbs, and I tried the stamped strand this time - so cute! I couldn't resist the "fun" sentiment, this was so fun to play with!

All these layers made me think of some bright and bold DSP, so I naturally turned to my Merry Bold & Bright pack, lol. I am loving pairing this with the Festive & Fun critter set, too! Today I went with my pudding-bearing moose and the little beaver - the last two I haven't stamped yet! So much fun to color! I had to shift my sentiment upwards a bit so I could still show off those awesome moose antlers, but it's all good, lol. This card makes me smile so much! I can't wait to see what YOU do with our fun sketch - the sky's the limit! Meet you at the challenge!

Woo hoo! I had some fun with this one, and it actually has quite a few items I've had sitting around! Somehow, I never really used my bottle shaker domes much, but I NEVER used the stash of Effervescent Elements I got to go with them, lol. Today's the day! I started with a full card front of the beautiful Waves of the Ocean DSP - I still love this stuff so much! I set up my shaker very carefully - I pre-punched where my dome would go and had to stamp my bottle color through the layers - very exciting, lol. I added a few more bottles to round out the colors, and then carefully dropped some "bubbles in my dome, and a tiny scrap of rolled up Pool Party DSP scrap - with a quick love note on the inside that no one will ever see, lol. I'm so happy with this cutie, but sorry the dome doesn't photograph too well! Bottled Happiness Stamp Set; Waves of the Ocean DSP (retired); Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Night of Navy, Coastal Cabana & Granny Apple Green Inks; Vintage Bottle Punch; Vintage Bottle Shaker Domes; Effervescent Elements; Night of Navy Enamel Dots; Scrap of Pool Party DSP & Linen Thread; #SOS505. ![]() Pumpkin Club September 30!

I couldn't resist putting together a simple stem using our Sending Smiles set - so many fun phrases to build, and such sweet blossoms! These dies are so easy to put together, too! I started with my two-flower stem, and stamped up a couple florets for it, in Berry Burst with Daffodil Delight centers. A quick "Sending" phrase came after! I even tailored the little tag to a custom length for my thanks - so easy! I finished with a flurry of Brushed Brass Butterflies - I forget these guys sometimes! Sending Smiles Stamp Set; Granny Apple Green DSP; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Granny Apple Green, Berry Burst & Daffodil Delight Inks; Sending Dies; Brushed Brass Butterflies; #TFC84. ![]() We have such pretty Fall inspiration for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #423! With my new Fall suite fully tasked in class boxes right now, I decided to browse my retired shelves for this one! When I spotted Sparkle of the Season from 2021, I realized I really hadn't used this set much! It even has Fall theme images, too - so I went for it! I started with a base wreath in Crumb Cake, and then went to town with all the autumnal elements in Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Old Olive, with touches of Early Espresso for good measure. At the last second I spotted the tiny pumpkin de, too, and since there were some on the pretty wreath inspo that caught my eye, I added a trio of those in Naturals White at the last second. A simple banner sentiment and some Brushed Bronze Dots finishes things off! So many little pieces! I can't wait to see YOUR creations for this fun inspo board - so much to choose from! Meet you at the challenge! Sparkle of the Season Stamp Set (retired 2021); Cajun Craze DSP (retired); Basic White, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive, Crushed Curry & Naturals White CS; Early Espresso, Crushed Curry, Old Olive & Cajun Craze Inks; Seasonal Swirls Dies; Brushed Bronze Dots; #HSS423. ![]() So perfect for the start of Fall - The Male Room #178 has a "leaves" challenge for us this month! Instead of going Autumnal, I got a little stuck on my Gorgeously Made bundle, lol. I started by flipping through the DSP pack for some color inspiration, though I ended up not using any even though I lifted this combo from one of the sheets! I went for a simple leafy stem over some Timeworn Type texture, after I used the broken text stamp from the set. (Got to open a brand new Versamark for it, too, it was glorious!) I also got to play with the notebook edge die - so cool! This ended up being a fun mix of elements, but still manly enough, I think! Gorgeously Made Stamp Set; Basic White, Pretty Peacock & Lost Lagoon CS; Pretty Peacock Ink; Gorgeously Made Dies; Timeworn Type EF; Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems; #TMR178. ![]() 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!
