Oooo!  We have some lovely purples and pinks to play with this week at Cupcake Inspirations #546 - I think I can JUST make it!
Looking over these girly colors, I knew I had to break in my Hippest Hippos set, an upcoming Sale-A-Bration set coming July 1!  It even has dies to go with, with a few cute extras, as you can see, lol.  I have to be honest, every single element of this card I ended up doing two or three times - girlie pastels are SO not my wheelhouse!  I'm so glad I finally made it to something I'm actually happy with in the end - I think I need to clear my palette with a manly hippo card next, lol.

Oh gosh, Addicted to CAS #222 is featuring my favorite design element - DOTS!
Just in case, I did a quick riffle through my stack of new sets, and guess what, there's a dotty swimsuit in our new Sunny Splash set!  I loved these retro swimsuits as soon as I saw them, I think they have so many fun possibilities!  I had to keep things as CAS as possible today, and I really tried, but a few extras slipped in somehow, lol.  And just a tiny bit of fussy cutting.  I featured our new Sweet Sorbet In Color, and had to finish with a Baker's Twine bow and some Matte Dots - yum!

Tulip Fields

Ah, how appropriate - The Flower Challenge #69 would like us to use blue and yellow on our cards this month, in ongoing support of Ukraine!
I haven't yet specifically done a color challenge for this, so it's good to contribute.  I envisioned FIELDS of flowers today, all for Ukraine, and our retiring Tulip Fields set was just right for it!  I went with Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight for my colors.  I slipped in a little windmill, and the sentiment was all too appropriate for the occasion.  I even found a few Pacific Point sequins to pop against the yellow!  My prayers are with them, daily.

Retro Pineapple

We're all about the "mod circles" this week at Retro Rubber  #185!  Hopefully I can make it tropical for SU Only #304, too!
Hm, this was trickier than I thought it would be!  I finally settled on creating my "circle" background with Swirly Bird from 2019 - I'm liking the effect!  I went with Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, my two most tropical colors, lol.  I then picked a pineapple for my big tropical feature - we have a dandy one in our old Timeless Tropical bundle, and I pulled the sentiment from there as well.  Whew!  I was able to squeeze on my very last two Tropical Oasis Trinkets, too - too mish-mosh??  It's working for me!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges, too - meet you there!

Yay - Make My Monday #176 wants us to show off some "summer fun!"
I KNEW I would kick myself for not getting the bathing suit set yet, lol!  I finally dug out this super cute set from April 2021 for Paper Pumpkin called So Cool.  I really wanted to see all these popsicles in our new In Colors - it just had to be!  I did an all-over random layout of these guys, and just went to town with all my Blends - don't they look refreshing??  Too fun, and I just popped the "cool" sentiment right on top.  Time for the pool now...

Christmas Wreath

Woo hoo!  I am thrilled to see that CAS Christmas is back at it - you can never have too many Christmas challenges, lol.  This month's theme is "wreath!"
I decided to go with my still-beloved Arrange a Wreath set from last year - I just love the dies still!  I did a quick layered wreath in two colors, and finished with a pretty bow in Cherry Cobbler.  My perfect merry sentiment fit right in the middle!  Quick, simple and a fun look back!

WOW!  We have some super cute inspiration cookies this month for If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #169!  Let's play some music!
I dug out my Country Livin' set that retired in 2019 - I kept this cutie just for the guitar, well, and the cowboy boots, lol.  Next I looked for a likely sentiment to go with, and settled on this one Dragonfly Garden.  I think all these bright guitars ARE inspirational, lol!  I had some fun coloring them up in my Blends, and finishing with a Tailor Made Tag for the sentiment.  I think it came out really cute!

Belated Birthday Piggy

Now THIS is when you need a speed challenge - when you're late already!!  Jump in with us for belated birthdays at As You See It #277!
Maybe it's cheating a tiny bit, but I hedge my bets a little by getting all my stuff out and ready ahead of time.  So I started by searching for a "belated" sentiment!  I had to go to the shelves of retirement for Itty Bitty Birthdays to find this one, and since I wanted to combine it with something current, I pulled This Birthday Piggy to go with.  My usual trick of letting the DSP do the talking made me pull out my Tea Boutique pack, and snag the Deckled Rectangles for the heavy lifting.  I pulled my Blends ahead of time, too.  Started the clock, ran to the cutting machine, layers done, whoops, forgot the sentiment, so I quick chopped it out of the center of the base layer, lol, then turned it sideways and nipped off the end to make it shorter.  Back to the desk for coloring and assembly - how much time left?  Enough to heat emboss the sentiment?  It would look so much better!  Going for it, aaaaaaand - DING DING DING!  9 minutes, 44 seconds.  That was close!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects - meet you there, timer in hand!

Ringed With Nature

Excellent timing - Less is More #466 is running a "masculine" theme this week!
I still have a stack of preorder items to play with out on my desk, so I did a pass through them for any likely "masculine" themes, lol.  I settled on Ringed With Nature, which has so many accessories!  There's dies, a hybrid embossing folder, and a DSP pack, Ringed With Love, in Sale-A-Bration.  Since this is for LIM, I stuck with stamps and dies, lol.  I did a little bit of corner detail backed by the tree rings stamp, and did a little paper-pieced branchlet with an acorn.  Fun!  At the last second, I added a few Brushed Metallic Dots to finish things off.  So maybe not as "Less" as I could have been, lol!

So excited, I finally get a chance to play at NBUS #39 - I just discovered this fun challenge!  NBUS stands for "Never Before Used Schtuff!"  And I certainly have enough of that for a challenge or ten, lol.
I decided to break into my holiday catty preorder of Trees For Sale, and Tree Lot, the over-the-top die set available in the upcoming Sale-A-Bration, that goes with it.  I have to be honest, I was a little meh about the stamp set - until I laid eyes on those dies, lol.  WOWZA!  There is so much here, I have to restrain myself!  This is the simplest first card I could come up with, lol, and I have so much more to come with these beauties!
​Trees For Sale Stamp Set; Granny Apple Green, Cherry Cobbler, Basic White, Shaded Spruce, Silver Foil, Pool Party, Basic Black & Early Espresso CS; Granny Apple Green & Cherry Cobbler Ink; White Gel Pen; Tree Lot Dies; #NBUS39.
