We have a Spring theme for this round's Make My Monday #221 - weather, flowers, critters - whatever! It has been FOREVER since I had out my Playing in the Rain bundle - and these guys are perfect for Spring! I decided to go for this puddle-jumping bunny, he's so naughty, and I threw in some just-retired Sunny Days SAB paper - I used the heck out of this one! It was quick work to add just a few touches of color, and finish with some Fine Sparkle Gems - this is totally Spring on a card, lol. I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our Spring theme - meet you at the challenge!

This is a good one - FarmQuest #47 this round is "things found in a field!" I'm totally gonna have to go with my super cute Cutest Cows bundle again for this one! Cows in a field is iconic! I created a lovely Lemon Lime Twist field for them first - I pulled in the fencing from Hey Chuck, and the grasses from the Sending Love dies - just right! Next up came two cows, a boy and a girl, lol, in true dairy cow style, lol. I finished up with a few of our Adhesive-Backed Flowers that go with the bee suite! The "special day" sentiment is on the inside. Such cuties!

Yay! Festive Friday #154 has an awesome St. Patrick's Day inspo list! Let's go green! I totally had to pull out my Gift Givers set from 2011 for this one - I love this little guy, AND he's so fun to color! I did a quick two-tone green background for him, then colored away, lol. For some gold embellies, I added some Gold Cording Trim behind his circles, and finished with some Festive Pearls - these suckers are SO shiny - I love them! So, I think I hit, Green, Gold, Gold Embellishments, Leprechaun and Good Luck Sentiment - this stamp has it all in a tiny space, lol.

Wow, check out the photo inspiration at this round's Time Out Challenge #258! What a frog! I think I only have one frog set - 2019's So Hoppy Together, an old Sale-A-Bration set, lol. I ALSO have pieces of the More Than Words set from that year, that had extra sentiments for a few of our fun sets that year - I finally put all the sentiments in the cases of the sets they went with, because I was never remembering to use them! Worked out good for me today, though, lol. So anyway, I colored my little guy like a tree frog, but I might have blown it by putting him on a lily pad, and then I couldn't resist the trio of bugs flying overhead, too, lol, but I think he's still cute! I did resist the little prince's crown I could have put on him, at least!

Such a fun challenge - The Sisterhood of Crafters would like us to use dots or stripes this round! Since our new Annual Catalog is fast approaching, I went to my outgoing In Colors to look for stripes, lol. I'll be so sad to see this set go! I chose the pretty Orchid Oasis sheet to go over Starry Sky, and added some other Starry Sky details - I LOVE this big guitar pick! I heat-embossed my sentiment onto that, and did up a hot Starry Sky guitar to go with it, with a few White stars for accents - very cool!

I had to laugh when I saw the challenge at this round's Shopping Our Stash #516 - "it's not easy being green!" Ain't that the truth! I decided to challenge myself today by sticking to a current stamp set for this one - and somehow the notion of green beer just wouldn't go away, lol. So out came my Brewed For You bundle, and a search for all the green I could find to go with it! I spotted this fun sheet in an old pack of DSP that's visiting right now - Petals & Paisleys! Such pretty stripes! I quick stamped up some toasting brews, and built this sentiment with a quick cut from my old Greetings dies - just right! This DSP is so old, I'm pretty sure that's Certainly Celery, but it still goes great with our stand-by Old Olive!

We have some cute Spring colors for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #433! It was hard to look at these colors and not see Easter Eggs, right? I've been wanting to play with the fun dies that go with our Excellent Eggs bundle - so cute! I found some DSP in each color, and went to work! I started with base eggs in each color, then took another pattern and played with moving around my scallop die to take different "bites" for accent pieces. I went in a few directions, and added the zig zag for each egg to get three different cool combos! I love mixing and matching, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR fun projects with these Easter colors - meet you at the challenge!

Such a sweet sketch this week at In{k}spire Me #528 - I'm letting the color challenge that goes with it slide, lol. I feel like I'm doing terrible at color challenges these days! In an effort to play other stamp sets besides my current favorite coffee set, lol, I turned to Bright Skies - those beautiful clouds are perfect for the sketch! I even still have a bit of the SAB paper still for it, so I fussy cut two particular fancy clouds I wanted for my card front! I really liked this encouraging sentiment, too, and then I finished with a few bright gems. Quick and pretty!

We have SUCH a pretty sketch for you this round at Sunday Stamps #330! With all these pretty layers, I knew I wanted to show off some pretty DSP! My Perennial Lavender pack is still getting quite the workout, lol, and this led me to pulling in my Perennial Postage set to go with! I had fun dressing up ALL my layers over some Blackberry Bliss, and I didn't do anything extra to my background layer to keep it from looking too busy with that fancy DSP, lol. I SO love purple! I doctored up my Deckled Rectangle to get it just the right size for the sentiment - that big swoopy "always" is a little hard to cover! I can't wait to see YOUR pretty projects for our wonderful sketch - meet you at the challenge! Perennial Postage Stamp Set; Perennial Lavender DSP; Basic White, Blackberry Bliss & Crumb Cake CS; Blackberry Bliss Ink; Deckled Rectangles Dies; Burlap Ribbon; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; #SSC330. Whew! I needed this! Christmas Craft Creations is here to feed my steady Christmas diet with a stencils or embossing challenge this month - yay! I really wanted to do something in stenciling today - I had to go on a hunt to see if I had anything that would work for Christmas! Then I spotted this snowflake sheet in my retired Adorning Designs pack - perfect! Another set I've been eyeing for a few weeks is my Celebrate With Tags bundle - I love the mitten in this one, and I really wanted to use it, too! I sort of threw this one together, and did TWO mittens for a pair. I made them a little topsy-turvy to disguise that they are the same mitten - two right hands, lol!
