![]() Yay! We want to see some hobbies this round at Make My Monday #208! Who else picks "card-making"?? OK, OK, lol, one of my OTHER favorite hobbies is baking! And I LOVE to bake for my stampers! This gets me baking at least twice a month, and I try to mix it up - cookies, cupcakes and other fun treats! Best of all, I am a paleo baker, so all gluten and grain-free, low dairy, no artificial sweeteners, and pretty low glycemic, too! We try not to break the bank with the treats around here, lol. So yummy, and so fun to share in class - less for me to eat, too - see how I am?? I can't wait to get a peek at YOUR hobbies this round - meet you at the challenge!

![]() I am THRILLED with Shopping Our Stash #503's new theme - hot, hot, HOT! So perfect for here in Arizona, lol., which way should I go? I decided to try something I've been thinking about for a while, lol. I combined Taco Fiesta with 2019's Bubble Over to make some hot sauce bottles! We always have a selection of 3 or 4 in the fridge here, lol. This sentiment seemed perfect to go with my little trio - I couldn't resist! I used a few different reds, because hot sauce comes in many colors, of course, and tried to play with the labels! And of course, all the lids are black, lol. Feeling a little hungry now...

I knew right away when I saw this color challenge that I wanted to use my Stargazing DSP - so many bright colors in that one! I opted for some "neon" planets against a bright solar background sheet, and finished with some tiny silver stars - oops, maybe I should have called this "silver stars," lol. Oh well! I did a set of Blue Foil rings for my medium planet and used my favorite sentiment in Berry Burst. It's bright enough for ME!

And for me, when I think "beach," I will forever be thinking of Maui, which is so much a home away from home for us. It's sadly bittersweet right now, because I also can't help but think of all the tragedy Maui is going through right now with the terrible fires, particularly in Lahaina, with its near-total destruction. Lahaina was always central to our Maui travels, and my heart is so broken for all the lovely people there. I pray for their peace and healing constantly as the situation continues to unfold... The simple scene I created for today's card says everything about this gorgeous and loving island - it truly is and always will be paradise!

Clean and simple is really growing on me these days, lol. For this one, I went back to my Gnome For The Holidays set from 2020 - these guys are just the cutest! I tried to not go overboard, but still add a couple extra touches, like my simple layers, and fussy cutting my little mistletoe gnome for a bit of depth. I finished with my last 3 red Wonderful Gems, too - it needed JUST a touch of bling, lol.

I got to try a couple things I've been thinking of lately on this card, lol. First up, I can finally break in my new Dots & Spots die! Such an easy way to add a little something to the whole background, and I decided to tilt my fashion layer a little diagonally on the die, hoping it would make the finished result look a little more random. I think it worked, even though it's a very uniform die! Next, I wanted to try a full triple layer of our Cheerful Daisies dies - it really adds a lot of depth! I chose Lemon Lolly for my flower color, I need to let this color grow on me a little more, I think, lol. Anyway, dots accomplished!

I turned to Paper Pumpkin for this one - I'm featuring the May 2023 Exploring In Color set! It seemed just right for our trio of colors, and I tried to feature them all in both ink AND paper, lol. I floated a timber-embossed panel of Pecan Pie over Copper Clay, and heat-embossed my sentiment in White over Misty Moonlight - I really like the look of the color blocks together. I chose to do three of the cute camping themed stamps in each color, too - I had to really squeeze things up to get it to fit the way I wanted, lol. I finished with some Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems - yum! I can't wit to see YOUR projects with these fun colors - meet you at the challenge!

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!

This seems like the perfect chance to show off our new Beary Cute suite in the upcoming Holiday Mini catalog, too - so here we go! Isn't this guy adorable? I chose one of the pattern sides from the DSP, and floated a little wintry scene over it for my bear. He had to have a snazzy scarf, too, lol. Too bad my desk is all sparkly from adding a bit of Dazzling Diamonds frosting to me tree, lol! I can't wait to see YOUR gorgeous projects with our fun sketch this round - meet you at the challenge!

I decided this is the perfect chance to play my newly acquired Let's Go Shopping set - such a cute suite! I'm not sure this one will ever make it into a class, but I so love it anyway - it's like setting up a new dollhouse, lol. For today, I snipped out the sweet shop from one of the DSP sheets, and then added lots of main street goodies to set the scene, lol. The lamppost, greenery and bench are part of the die set, and I also did the big pot and tiltboard sign to go along with the sentiments. Maybe too much going on, but I really wouldn't mind a trip to this cute shop!
