![]() With my Holiday Catty pre-order in hand, it's going to be hard to choose for this month's NBUS #53 - love that feeling! I decided to play a fun little oddball I got at the last second with some hostess credit - just so cute! This is Year To Celebrate, and it has little party noise-makers you can build, with awesome celebratory sentiments to go with - including New Year's! I went with the birthday one today, but I couldn't resist trying my hand at a few of those blowouts - just adorable! This one was a natural match with the Bright & Beautiful DSP, too - it's all party party party over here today! Year To Celebrate Stamp Set; Bright & Beautiful DSP; Basic White & Berry Burst CS; Berry Burst, Blueberry Bushel, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green & Versamark Inks; White EP; Stylish Shapes Dies; Berry Burst Tinsel Gems; #NBUS53.

![]() Another fun theme this round from Cardz 4 Guyz #328 - music! I went straight to my Enjoy The Rhythm set for this one - so many fun images! I went for the snazzy drum kit today, and had some fun adding touches of color! I kept the birthday sentiment for the card front, but I have "you rock my world" on the inside, of course! This was actually a pretty fast card, even with the coloring - I had my Stylish Shapes already cut out and tucked in the die sleeve, they must have been leftover from something else! That gave me a leg up for sure! Enjoy The Rhythm Stamp Set; Dandy Designs DSP (retired); Basic White, Pool Party & Balmy Blue CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Daffodil Delight, Pool Party & Balmy Blue Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Balmy Blue Solid Faceted Gems; #C4G328. ![]() This could be cool - AAA Cards #246 would like us to get "all lined up" in a sketch challenge this round! Since AAA has an optional "baby" theme going for this one as well, I pulled my all-time favorite baby set, 2011's Baby Bundle! So many cute little baby baubles in this one, and all in a delicate line-art style that begs to be colored, lol. I chose some tiny baby accessories to run down my left edge, and added the sentiment to the right. I couldn't resist a single strand of Linen Thread, and these 3 tiny solid gems - I think they might be Crisp Cantaloupe, but they seemed to match my Light Calypso Coral blend so I ran with them, lol. Such a sweet card, this will be great to have on hand! Baby Bundle Stamp Set (retired 2011); Basic White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Soft Sea Foam, Bubble Bath, Pool Party, Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral & Fresh Freesia Blends Markers; Linen Thread; Faceted Dots (retired); #AAA246. ![]() Yay! Time to bring the rainbow this round at Retro Rubber #213! I knew I had to pull my Rainbow of Happiness set that retired last year - I still have a bit of the awesome Sale-a-Bration DSP we had to go with it, the Sunshine & Rainbows pack! I picked this gorgeous stripey sheet for my background and envelope flap, and then created this little rainbow on our new Deckled Circles - LOVE them so much! I couldn't resist adding some clouds from my newly acquired Give It a Whirl dies (thanks, Joanne!), and then finishing with another little Deckled Circle for the sentiment. A few Melon Mambo Solid Faceted Gems add some bright spots of color! I can't wait to see what YOU create for our Rainbow Connection challenge - meet you there! Rainbow of Happiness Stamp Set (retired 2022); Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (retired); Basic White & Pool Party CS; Melon Mambo, Mango Melody (retired), Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Deckled Circles & Give It A Whirl Dies; Melon Mambo Solid Faceted Gems; #RRCB213. ![]() So fun - we want to see three of anything this round at Make My Monday #207! What a great chance to try out my new Merry & Bright stamp set - and three big bulbs in Melon Mambo, lol! So much fun, there are multiples of all the dies, so getting everything cut out is a snap! The bright DSP is gorgeous, too, great patterns and colors, I am definitely smitten, lol. I had a blast making this little mini light string by stamping off my bulbs and adding the filaments full strength. I did bulb bases in Shaded Spruce to match the wire, and it all looks lovely over that matching DSP! I can't wait to see YOUR triples, too - meet you at the challenge! Merry & Bright Stamp Set; Merry Bold & Bright DSP; Basic White, Melon Mambo & Shaded Spruce CS; Melon Mambo Ink; Merry & Bright Dies; Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs; #MMM207. ![]() Oo, there's a great inspo list for this round's celebration of World Photography Day at Festive Friday #0140! I finally landed on my Calling All Heroes set from 2014 for a city-scape, my favorite one! I kept this card pretty sparse - I don't do just black and white very often, so I resisted the urge to add too much stuff, lol. I happened across this wonderful sentiment in my Parisian Beauty set - never notice it before today, and it happened to be shelved next to my other set, lol. Funny how that worked out! A few tiny rhinestones finish things off! Calling All Heroes (retired 2014) & Parisian Beauty (retired 2020) Stamp Sets; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #FF0140. ![]() Such beautiful inspiration from the design team at Time Out Challenge #244 for their monochromatic challenge! This seemed like the perfect chance to showcase the new Autumn Leaves bundle in the upcoming Holiday Catty. This is a 1,000,000 Achiever set by my teamie Amy Koenders - huge congrats again, Amy! Anyway, I wanted to give it a go in Wild Wheat, which I think is the perfect Autumn color, lol. I did the three different stamped leaves, one full strength, one stamped off, and one stamped off twice. I finished them all with stems and veins in Distressed Gold - just gorgeous! The dies also include some sentiment tags and banners, and few extra solid leaves. I am smitten! Autumn Leaves Stamp Set; Basic White, Wild Wheat & Distressed Gold CS; Wild Wheat Ink; Distressed Tile EF; Autumn Leaves Dies; Wild Wheat Glossy Dots; #TOC244. ![]() Such a wonderful recipe card we have this round at As You See It #305! Love it! Gotta make sure to get in ALL the ingredients! This challenge is giving me a chance to show off several new and upcoming items - yay! I'm not sure why, but this super cute thermos set, Warmest Heart, really grabbed me! And since it has a little sun icon for your favorite flask, I knew I wanted to try it out here! I set up a background of our new Deckled Circles (eee!) in different retired DSPs, then planned out my thermos. I knew I wanted the sun, but I also wanted to try one of the print patterns for it, so I die-cut all that, and colored in my lid with a Blend. I'm so tickled with how cute this came out! I can't wait to see YOUR sunny cards for this one - meet you at the challenge! Warmest Heart Stamp Set; Daffodil Delight & Crushed Curry DSP; Basic White & Lemon Lolly CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Lemon Lolly Inks; Lemon Lolly Blend Marker; Warmest Heart & Deckled Circles Dies; Lemon Lolly Solid Gems; #AYSI305. ![]() Snow in August 2023 Woo hoo!

And since I ALWAYS do dots, lol, today I'm actually going with stripes, lol. Because this beautiful new Merry Bold & Bright DSP has some glorious ones! It has glorious dots, too, I can't not say that, but we'll be using THOSE in class on Saturday, lol. So stripes it is! I also felt like these fun colors together were a bit more masculine, maybe - certainly the rhino looks like he's into them! I had so much fun coloring this one - and I totally love that all our returning colors this refresh had their own Blends Markers - whew! I think Blueberry Bushel might actually grow on me this time!

I'm actually combining old and new stash items for this one, lol. When I spotted the Above It All stamp set in our upcoming Holiday Mini Catalog, I KNEW it had to be on my pre-order! I instantly also knew I wanted to pair it with my beloved-but-retired Enjoy The Journey DSP! This combo is the spitting image of one of our FAVORITE vacations, over Christmases to Banff Springs, Canada! We love it there so much, and haven't been able to get back since COVID, sigh. My fearless husband and daughter love to ski there at the Sunshine Ski Resort (not me, lol) and I usually ride up to the ski village to meet them for lunch on the amazing gondola, lol. Such a view! They go all the way up top the Continental Divide - I would be SO chicken to do that! Anyway, SUCH good times!
