I love the theme for Festive Friday #150 - Chinese New Year! Great things to choose from for the inspo list! I almost went for the dragon, I have to admit, but that all went out the window when I spotted the fortune cookies, lol. I of course had to pull out my Fortunate To Know You set from 2018 - I so love this cutie! I did up some pretty layers with Real Red, Basic White, and a scrap of old Real Red DSP I had, and colored up some cookies to go! I couldn't resist coloring my birthday fortune with red, too, lol. I tied on some Gold Cording Trim and finished with a few Gold Sparkle Gems - just right!, So, I managed gold, red, layers and fortune cookies! Not too shabby!

We have a good one from The Male Room #182 this round - make it funny or punny! Yay! I haven't played with my It's Science set in a while, and I LOVE coloring these lab glasswares! I made a bright Tahitian Tide background that I stamped all over with bubbles - the overreaction, lol - and then floated my beakers and bottles over that! In addition to my front sentiment, I had one last little pun inside, too, lol - I'm not sure I've ever used either of these stamps yet for this set! So glad for another chance to show off these bright In Colors again, too - I DID warn you! It's A Science Stamp Set; Tahitian Tide DSP; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Starry Sky Blends Markers; Iridescent Adhesive-Backed Discs; #TMR182.

So glad that AAA Birthday #57 is back - and with a rainbow challenge! Beautiful! I decided to add a rainbow-y background today, from my old Celebrate Everything pack - I love the mix of colors on this sheet! With this bright base to go from, it was an easy leap to our new Ice Cream Swirl bundle - such a fantastic giant cone! I colored everything with my Water Painters for this first outing - there are some fabulous dies to use, too! Yum with a cherry on top!

Very cute - AAA Birthday #56 would like us to "add a tag" this month! This seems like a great chance to show off one of our upcoming new suites, called Lighter Than Air! It has all the goodies, as you can see - stamps, dies, twine, paper, embellies - so much fun! I totally had to use this pretty dotty sheet and I made a fun two-color balloon to fly over it! I pulled in my Tailor Made Tags dies to meet the brief, and heat embossed the sentiment in White over Azure Afternoon. A few clouds, a few Rainbow Dots, and I am set! Such a cute little card! Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set; Lighter Than Air DSP; Basic White, Azure Afternoon & Lemon Lolly CS; Azure Afternoon, Lemon Lolly & Versamark Inks; White EP; Hot Air Balloon & Tailor Made Tags Dies; Balmy Blue Twine; Lemon Lolly Rainbow Dots; #AAAB56.

I still have a little collection of older stamps that I'm babysitting before they move on to new homes - in them is 2014's You're Wonderful set - perfect! The set features this big beautiful "wonderful" with some banners, and you can mix and match the sentiments to add in! I went straight for this birthday combo, and I love it! I'm not sure I ever got this one, I think it's one of SU!'s early photopolymers, but it's sure sweet! It looks even sweeter over this gorgeous sheet of DSP from the Masterfully Made pack! You're Wonderful Stamp Set (retired 2014); Masterfully Made DSP; Basic White & Fresh Freesia CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Fresh Freesia & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems; #AAAB55. I'm super excited to show off some new goodies at this month's NBUS #56! I number one new stamp set I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on in this latest Online Exclusive release was the Simply Sparkling bundle - it's fabulous! Who knew there were so many adorable ways to dress up a soda can?? Besides the sweet sentiments, and fruity details, the dies are thoughtfully designed to allow you to cut metallic details for the can top and bottom - nifty! I kicked off with this refreshing orange soda - I stamped my can over the bubbly sheet from the Stargazing DSP pack, and added a "fizz-tastic" label and silver details. I even did some big bubbles in the background! Zesty! Simply Sparkling Stamp Set; Stargazing DSP; Basic White, Silver Foil, Pumpkin Pie & Mango Melody (retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Pumpkin Pie Inks; Simply Sparkling & Radiating Stitches Dies; Milky Dots in Mango Melody (retired); #NBUS56.

So pretty, Time Out Challenges #251 has a lovely inspiration pic for us this week! I pretty much ran straight for my retired pack of Fine Art Floral DSP - I remembered that there was a sheet with a gray background and flowers mixed in with all the other gorgeous florals in this one - perfect for that bag! I did the gray background strip at the bottom to echo that bag, and added the lovely die cut sentiment in Pretty Peacock. I had just enough room for the bloom at the bottom with the birthday wish! I finished with a few Gilded Gems for some extra shine!

Lol, Shopping Our Stash #509 would like us to "emboss like a boss!" Will do! Some time ago, I was fascinated by some work I saw, where the stamper dry embossed some pieces, and then heat embossed over it - it looked really cool, and I wanted to try it, so I experimented some gold emboss over a Night of Navy panel in Absolutely Argyle. I did love the effect, like a patina! I didn't have a plan for it, and stashed it in my Navy scrap folder in case something came up. Well, today was that day, lol! I decided to pair the panel with Distressed Gold and the He's All That bundle, which has those cool little argyle dies! I floated this classic birthday sentiment over it all and finished with a few Navy Enamel Dot Essentials. I think it came out pretty spiffy, and masculine, too! Not bad for a stash find! He's All That Stamp Set; Basic White, Distressed Gold & Night of Navy CS; Night of Navy & Versamark Ink; Gold EP; Absolutely Argyle EF (retired); All That Dies; Enamel Dot Essentials; #SOS509.

This is a big day for me - I get to try out a new-to-me blog challenge! Farm Quest #39 is having a "corn" challenge, lol - awesome! Off the top of my head, the only corn I could think of that I have is from the awesome Chick Dies, that are now retired. I decided to combine them with my Hay Chuck set - chickens really like to hang out together, right? I pulled some also-retired Day At The Farm DSP for my background paper, and set about building my corny scene, lol. I did a little fence line to tuck the corn behind, and built a few stalks for my favorite Chuck to do his special dance in front of! I always think the birthday sentiments are perfect for this one! What a fun challenge! Hey Chuck Stamp Set; Day At The Farm DSP (retired); Basic White, Garden Green, Daffodil Delight & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Old Olive, Cherry Cobbler & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Hey Chuck, Chick (retired) & Deckled Circles Dies; #FQCB39. Such stunning colors we have for you this round at Sunday Stamps #321 - and pretty bittersweet in a jar! I finally am dabbling in the pretty Season of Chic set - I almost let this beauty get away! The gorgeous two-step stamping I could do on these laves seemed just right for our colors this round, and so many fun design elements in the dies! I resurrected some Pretty Peacock DSP for my background, and coordinated with Cajun Craze and Pumpkin Pie for my colors - and I am loving this combo! I even pulled out a few Seaside Spray Faceted Dots to finish - from Pretty Peacock's original In Color release! I'm NOT a hoarder, I swear! I can't wait to see YOUR lovely projects with our warm colors this round - meet you at the challenge!
