A Little Cheesy

8/14/2022

Sigh, Fusion is apparently channeling my kryptonite this week with their Wine and Cheese challenge, lol - yes, please!
So besides being one of my most favorite combos, lol, this challenge is PERFECT for a new set that's been burning the air on my desk for a bit - A Little Cheesy!  Wine, cheese AND punny?  Yeah, you know they made this set just for me!  I of COURSE had to pull in Merry Merlot for my accent pieces - so thrilled with the patterns in our latest DSP stacks - and then had my choice of puns!  In end, I opted for a little cheese with that wine, yuck yuck, and colored up my images accordingly.  At least these were simple to fussy cut!

Dear Zoo

I'm so excited for this new challenge - I have been so missing The Library Challenge!  Make sure you check out the debut of Once Upon a Time #1 - it's featuring Dear Zoo!  Hooray!
I did watch the cute little animation film for this book, very sweet!  So many good themes to choose from, but in the end, I circled back to the cover, lol.  I still had some black and white striped paper leftover from the Pattern Party pack, so I added some Poppy Parade over this with my Blender Brush.  I also pulled my old A Little Wild set from 2019 - these baby critters are the cutest!  And because they're meant to be front-and-back tags, I slipped the rear view on my envelope, lol.  I colored this handsome fellow with Blends markers, added my sentiment in a heart, and finished with a few resin dots.  Adorable!

Here For You Now

Wow, we have an amazing recipe board for you to cook with this week at As You See It #281!
Lots of fun elements to stir in - I started with the "brights" and "patterned paper" to help set my tone.  Our giant Celebrate Everything pack of DSP has the perfect set of brights options - and I can't get enough of this Granny Apple Green sheet in particular, lol.  I might use every scrap!  Anyway, it seemed the perfect backdrop for some bold blossoms - enter Color & Contour!  Flowers, outlines to color and dies to go with seemed to fill the rest of the brief, I simply chose the rest of my brights from the coordinating colors listed on the DSP.  So fresh!  I ended up water-coloring my centers and leaves, since the petals had a two-step stamp for them.
I can't wait to see what YOU whip up with our recipe this week - meet you there!

Spotlight Harvest

Very fun - Make My Monday #180 has a "spotlight" theme going this round!  Yay!
Browsing through the possibilities, I thought this pretty stem in Nature's Harvest would work great!  I originally bought this bundle for the fabulous dies, not so mush for the stamps, lol.  Since then, these Black-eyed Susans (or perhaps several other flowers, depending on the color scheme, lol) have been one of my all-time favorites!  So easy to color, and such a graceful arrangement.  And the perfect complement to the lovely sentiments.  Win-win!

Time Out Missing You

Wow, Time Out Challenges #219 has a gorgeous sunset beachfront pic for our inspiration this week!  Love it!
The gorgeous pic immediately made me think of our wonderful New Horizons DSP - so glad I still have some!  I started out with the little fronds that are in the accompanying On the Horizon stamp set, but went hunting when I realized they were too "short," lol.  I spotted the taller grass in my old Home to Roost set from 2019 - perfect!  I also realized the "missing you" sentiment would be just right for my quiet scene - it all just came together!

We are bringing on the layers this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #395!
I just received a few new sets to play with in the nick of time!  Today seems a good one to try out our new Mistletoe Magic set - I love it!  I did a stripey background with some strips of our returned Painted Christmas DSP over Evening Evergreen - yum!  Next up, my mistletoe feature panel, lol.  So pretty!  I had fun coloring in the larger sprig - the berries have just a tiny touch of Smoky Slate, and then layers of Wink of Stella for some extra sparkle!  I even snuck in some Evening Evergreen Opal Rounds!
I cant wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty sketch - meet you there!

Olive Branch

Such a cute sketch this week at In{k}spire Me #483 - I love diagonals!
This seemed like a great layout to break in my new Olive Branch set!  I was intrigued as soon as I saw it - I don't have anything else like it!  I decided the smaller branch would fit perfect on an oval, and there was even room for the sentiment, lol.  So fun.  I did my background layout in greens - Old Olive and Pear Pizzazz.  I thought at first I would do a stamped off background on the diagonal with the larger branch, but in the end I pulled out my still-beloved Layered Leaves EF.  For the olives, I first inked up the stamp in Old Olive (natch, lol) then I went over the olives themselves with my Blackberry Bliss Stamp-n-Write marker.  The color is perfect for the olives around here!

So lovely - we have some sweet earthy colors for you this week at Sunday Stamps #289!
When I saw the adorable toadstool in the pic, I knew I wanted to try for Rings of Nature today!  I've been using these shapes to make acorns, but we have the stems to make them into toadstools, too!  These remind me so much of the little guys in Fantasia, lol.  Anyway, I kept things pretty CAS, and also tried stamping my sentiment onto one of the die and emboss combo wood rounds - cool effect!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our colors this week - meet you there!

Such a cool theme at this week's Cardz 4 Guyz #301 - "recycle something!"
It took me a little while to realize I had just the thing!  A month or so ago, I won a gift bundle from Lawn Fawn - (Shhh!  Stamps AND dies!)  The cute bundle I picked arrived promptly - and it was tied up with this pretty green and blue twine!  Say, that looks pretty darn close to our new Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, I remember thinking.  Anyway, I thriftily wound it up and tossed it into the catch-all embellie box that lives on my desk.  So glad I remembered it!  And what fun playing with my newly acquired Tech Support set - this cuteness does SO compute!

Making Waves (& Annual Catty Roundup Aug 13!)

Very cool theme this round at Can You Handle the Pressure - "Beach!"
Digging through my folder stash, I came across the retired "Ruffled" - I've always felt like this one was a great one for stylized waves and water!  I did my embossed panel in Pool Party, over some Crumb Cake for "sand," and went to look for a likely stamp set to add.  I almost pulled the new lighthouse set (love it!) but in the end I wanted to do some curvy swimsuits from Sunny Splash.  These are such vintage bathing beauties, lol, and they're fun to match up with our vibrant new In Colors!  I even doctored up a label strip to order for the sentiment!
