Lol, I laughed out loud when I saw this round's theme at Shopping Our Stash #504 - "welcome to the jungle!" I knew right away I wanted to pull out my Rhino Ready bundle for this one! I first tried my hand at a little sunset sky behind some purple mountains with Blending Brushes, and then immediately covered most of it up with the rest, lol. I DID try! I brushed up a little green on my torn-edge foreground, and colored in my rhino of choice - love this one with the bird! Then I got to play with the gorgeous dies - a banyan tree, and some bright leaves! It's a jungle out there!

Oh yum! Check out the book for the next round at The Library Challenge #84 - Jane's Patisserie - Celebrate! Time to start baking, lol! For today's card, I focused on that pretty rainbow cake, and I pulled out an old Paper Pumpkin set to put one together! Our February 2020 set, called Lovely Day, conveniently has a cute three-layer cake slice, that looks a lot like the one on the book cover! I stacked up two of those to make my six layers, and colored it to match the cover! I'm pretty happy with how it came out, and you know I always like to fussy cut, lol...

I really can't think of a better theme than the "at the beach" one we have this round at As You See It#306! 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!

This looks interesting - The Flower Challenge #83 would like us to also add dots or stripes to our design - cool! 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'm so excited to play these new colors together at Hand Stamped Sentiments #421 - they're so gorgeous together! 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!

I'm super excited to see AAA Birthday #52's "anything birthday goes" challenge this round - so much scope! 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!

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!

Such a cool combo this round at In{k}spire Me #511 - I gotta get in on this! I went straight to our Circle Sayings set for this one - seemed a natural fit, lol. I decided to stamp most of my sketch elements, and used the "celebrate" circle and cupcake image for my main features. I very carefully water-painted some color onto the cupcakes, too - worked out perfectly! I added some solid dots that I punched out to round things out, and the little banner from the sketch, though my sentiment is actually in one of the circles - fun! I finished with a few tiny rhinestones just to draw in some light!

To get myself started, I checked my retired DSP box to see if I had anything good and tropical - and as I hoped, I still have a bit of the Tropical Oasis pack! When I spotted this Calypso Coral sheet, I knew I wanted to go all flamingo instead of palm trees and plumeria, lol. So out came Friendly Flamingo! I made this pretty guy in Calypso to go with the DSP, but I did fussy cut this gorgeous jungle leaf to add some pop! This is my favorite sentiment for this guy, too - such great advice!
