Very nice - it's time for In{k}spire Me #530's Easter theme challenge! Since I actually got an Easter set this year, which I don't often do, I knew I wanted to play with that today! Excellent Eggs has such sweet images, but really, this one is all about the dies for me - we don't have many egg dies! I decided to lay with heat-embossing the fancy egg images today, I definitely like the look! Inspired by the pretty pastels in this DSP sheet from the Lighter Than Air pack, I did a Pool Party and a Fresh Freesia egg, with my sentiment on some Lemon Lolly - VERY Easter bonnet, I think! The Rainbow Dots finished with just the right extra pop of colors! Excellent Eggs Stamp Set; Lighter Than Air DSP; Basic White, Pool Party, Fresh Freesia & Lemon Lolly CS; Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; White EP; Crumb Cake & Bubble Bath Blends Markers; White Baker's Twine; Rainbow Dots; #IMC530.

We have some lovely inspiration pictures for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #435! I focused on those cute rainboots with flowers, mostly because I remembered I had a rainboot image somewhere, lol. After a bit of a dig, I found it in my March 2020 Paper Pumpkin set - Spring Splash! Yes! The grassy insert the set had reminded me of our new upcoming DSP called Thoughtful Journey - another fresh and lovely watercolor style that you'll love! I used this fun thistle sheet, and promptly covered most of it up with my boot - oh well! I couldn't resist this sweet sentiment from Timeless Arrangements to go with, at least! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with from our inspiration board - meet you at the challenge! Spring Splash Paper Pumpkin (Mar 2020) & Timeless Arrangements Stamp Sets; Thoughtful Journey DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Peach Pie, Mossy Meadow & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Peach Pie Shimmer Gems; #HSS435. Lol, I think non-traditional colors are the PERFECT Christmas theme to kick us off for April at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #159! One of the papers that I feel like didn't get enough play time is the beautiful foiled set called Splendid Day - I miss the stamp set, too, lol. But look how gorgeous this fancy foiled Fresh Freesia sheet looks with our just-retired Wishes All round bundle! Non-traditional, but a bit of sparkle and shine! I inked my sentiment in the darker Blackberry Bliss, and the chose my darker Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to accent it a bit. I love me a Freesia Christmas! I can't wait to see YOUR non-traditional colors this round, too - meet you at the challenge! Wishes All Around Stamp Set (retired 2024); Splendid Day DSP (retired); Basic White & Fresh Freesia CS; Blackberry Bliss Ink; Wishes All Around & Stylish Shapes Dies; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; #SCC159. We have a pointed landscape sketch for you this round at Sunday Stamps #332! As usual, I took some big liberties with my shapes, lol. And I'm thrilled to show off a few more new beauties! My stamp bundle today is called Unbounded Love, and the gorgeous tags and shapes dies that go with it is totally amazing. You can only see a little bit of the lovely scalloped oval behind my fronds, but the smallest stitched circle is front and center at least! And all of it is styled with the gorgeous Frames & Flowers Specialty DSP pack, which I won during Prize Patrol at On Stage in Houston. Besides a few pretty sheets of our usual reversible DSP, there are several diecut sheets of fun frames and flowers, natch! Love these colors so much! How do you like our new In Color, Peach Pie?? I can't wait to see what YOU make of our sketch this round, meet you at the challenge!

Lol, so excited that this month's at Christmas Craft Creations is for Designer Papers! I love me some awesome Christmas paper! I have to say, Merry Bold & Bright is still hands down my fave Christmas DSP ever, lol. I can't stop trotting it out when I need some Christmas cheer! I'll be so sad when my little stash is finally gone, but in the meantime, let's have some bright Christmas bulbs! Such a fun set, and I haven't run out of awesome color combos yet, lol.

Seaside Wishes is a gorgeous new oceanic bundle coming out in our upcoming Annual Catty, and it has a fabulous hybrid embossing folder and dies, too - these are so cool! Especially since I've learned how to use them better! Lol... Anyway, I thought I'd also sneak in a little bit of a new neutral coming our way: The sand dollar is in our new Basic Beige CS, with Basic Beige ink, too. Looking forward to playing with this more! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our fun sketch this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

Lucky for me, I have a sweet preview set I can use to help me along, and I kept it even simpler by sticking to two colors, lol. Here's a peek at the upcoming Layers of Beauty bundle - which consists of a gorgeous stamp set, dies, AND a set of layering masks to help with the coloring! So fun to dabble with! I did an all-over background in Soft Sea Foam, then went to town on the largest floral image, adding Lemon Lime Twist for my leaves, and layering up Lemon Lolly for my blossoms. I love the subtle shading the masks helped me achieve - can't wait to try this in more coordinating colors!

Such pretty natural colors we have for you this round at Retro Rubber #227! I couldn't help but think of a cute critter dressed up in blue when I thought of these colors, lol. When I did a quick browse for likely candidate, I kept coming back to 2021's Hot Dog set - he has so many cute accessories to color! I ended up staying pretty clean and simple today, but I think I might officially be over my fear of Blueberry Bushel! What a cutie!

I have also carefully hoarded some of the Ready to Ride DSP that was released with it, lol, and I am still just as smitten with the sheet that has the little biker scenes that we can cut apart and use as backgrounds. I liked this one so much I let it do all the heavy lifting! I did color in my little bike with Pumpkin Pie to match the details, but still so fabulous!
