![]() So pretty - AAA Cards #266 has a sweet little sketch for us this round! Yay! Still have to keep it CAS, though! This seemed like a great time to break in my new Market Goodness set - super cute veggies ahead, lol! As usual, I might not be quite CAS enough, lol, but I was just smitten with all the green, and the fun dots that coordinate with this set! For today, I tried my hand at stamping these super cute veggies - though there's also adorable DSP that I could cut with the dies - yum! I did all today's on different sized Stylish Circles, though - I love circles, lol.

![]() Such a fun sketch we have for you at Retro Rubber #232 - lots of scope here! I really wanted to make a Christmas card today, so I went looking on that shelf first for likely stamps to use. I think I hit the jackpot with 2021's Frosted Gingerbread - THIS is the way to play "any shape," lol. I used this fun sentiment from Festive & Fun, as well, just the right size, and I love mixed fonts! I wish I could make such pretty cookies in real life, lol. Anyway, I recently came across these old Paper Pumpkin embellishments, too, and I thought a few in Shaded Spruce would make a pretty contrast! I can't wait to see YOUR sketchy projects this round! Meet you at the challenge! Frosted Gingerbread (retired 2021) and Festive & Fun (retired 2024) Stamp Sets; Wrapped in Plaid DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Gingerbread Dies; White Baker's Twine; Paper Pumpkin Christmas Candy Embellishments (retired); #RRCB232. ![]() We have a fun alphabet challenge for you this round at Make My Monday #227 - "B is for..." - so fun! So today in my office, "B" is for BURGER! And we have JUST the set for it in our new Bistro Burger - so cute! There's all kinds of fixins' to add, and plenty of grilling accessories, too, lol, in the dies - love it! I made a nice woodgrain background from our Country Woods DSP, then added a cutting board with a little streak of flames to brighten things up. Then I got to coloring my burger - it comes with the works! I was able to really sharpen the detail on the tomatoes and pickles with the color lifter - still need to work on the burger itself, I think, lol. I can't wait to see what "B" stands for in YOUR house - meet you at the challenge! Bistro Burger Stamp Set; Country Woods DSP; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Pumpkin Pie (sponged on the flames) Inks; Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green, Old Olive, Real Red, Daffodil Delight, SU100 and Colorlifter Blends Markers; Bistro Burger Dies; Enamel Dot Essentials; #MMM227. ![]() Excellent! Festive Friday #160 has a fabulous inspo list for us in honor of Father's Day! I managed to get a few items off the list today - the main one that caught my eye was "Superman," lol, and then I added a few from there: Masculine Colors, Twine and Alcohol Markers. I pulled my old Everyday Hero set, from 2017, still love this cutie! One of our earlier photopolymers, I love the mix and match options with the various images! I went for a fun layout, too, laying out tiles in a few sizes, and popping them up on dimensionals - it was a real playtime for me today! Blues, bright red, and Crumb Cake - I think these make for good manly colors, lol. I'm so happy with how this came out - I was really flying by the seat of my pants on this one!

I couldn't resist going back to my all-time favorite Christmas greenery set, Christmas Season from 2023 - what a beauty! And what a splendid collection of dies! I did up my favorite elements in all colors, and floated it over this festive sheet of buffalo check red - nice and bright! I even slipped in an extra die set for my sentiment, from the still-current Hope & Peace set - a perfect pairing! So fun to play with ALL the goodies once in a while, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR die projects this round at Sparkles - meet you at the challenge!

I love the theme for this round's Shopping Our Stash #522 - "How does your garden grow?" I knew just what I wanted to use, too - these bunch of radishes is from our oh-so-playful Eclectic Garden set that retired last year - I so didn't use it enough! I always gravitate towards these little radishes - so fun to color, and the curved sentiment fits perfectly over it! It looks really cute on this Radiating Stitches rectangle, too! I tried out the Basic Beige ink on the background - can't go wrong with flying radishes, right?

Time Out Challenge #264 would like to see something "magical!" I actually don't have too much on hand "magical" that's current, so off to the retired shelves I went! I came across my beloved Hippo Happiness set - and I remembered this cute sentiment - yes! I set about picking some fun goodies to go with - I knew I wanted a PURPLE unicorn for sure, lol. I still have plenty of my just-retired Lighter Than Air DSP, so I pulled this diamond detail sheet from that, and settled on Fresh Freesia for my purple - and he turned out super cute, if I do say so myself! I gave him a few Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems to complete the sparkle! Hippo Happiness Stamp Set (retired 2022); Lighter Than Air DSP (retired); Basic White & Fresh Freesia CS; Fresh Freesia & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Hippo & Friends Dies (retired); Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems; #TOC264. ![]() Good times! AAA Birthday #61 would like us to go CAS this round - clean and simple! This seems like the PERFECT chance to bring in my new Tune In set - love the retro feel of this cutie, and all its little extras! The dies for this one are SO fun - so many different details to play with! I didn't to do too much this time, so I could stick to the "clean and simple" brief, but I have big plans for future cards, lol. Today's set is a vibrant Azure Afternoon, with a textured background to set everything off. As usual, I couldn't resist adding a few retired Pacific Point Fine Sparkle Gems - they match perfectly!

I think these colors are just perfect for showing off our new "spa" set, Rest Relax Enjoy! I exactly sure what I would do with this set when I ordered it, lol, I just knew I WANTED it! It really reminds me of relaxing days full of pampering - I must need more of that or something, lol. I did a little bit of background stamping with the botanical elements, then got to work on my "bottles." I featured one in each of our soft colors, and dug out my Painted Poppies and Dressed to Impress sets to do the fill-in washes - just the right touch! I stamped the little botanicals on each one as I went, too. I finished with a few Petal Pink Tinsel Gems - yum! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with this round with our colors - meet you at the challenge!

That's starting to shape up as a real May theme, lol! I decided to pull out my Cheerful Daisies set for this one - I SO don't ink it up enough! I wasn't a huge fan of the DSP that came with it when it was first released, and I think the darker colors it featured kinda threw me, lol. To that end, I'm pulling out bright Spring colors today! I floated everything over this pretty Lemon Lime Twist gingham, and stamped up a daisy trio in Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Pool Party - and I love them together! I finished with a few pretty diecut leaves, and Adhesive Flowers that are a little hard to see, hmmm. But still cheery!
