Another gorgeous color combo at this week's Fab Friday #182 - we're going coastal!
So, as much as I like these colors, they were tough for me to work with, lol.  I finally took a little inspiration from a card pictured in the Spring Mini (on page 65, for inquiring minds that want to know, lol) and came up with this.  I'm a little on the fence about it.  In some ways I wish I had turned it portrait-wise, and made some kind of play on a sunset.  On the other hand, I always have fun messing around with our sponge brayers...  I did a quick emboss with our Coastal Weave folder (hm, should have DE-bossed, sigh) and added this nice bold admonishment over it all.  Yes, those are tiny black rhinestones dotting the I's - I couldn't bear to layer up the tiny dots with the rest of the words, lol.
So, what will YOU have for us this week?  I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!
Sweet Silhouettes Dies; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Merry Merlot, Melon Mambo, Coast Cabana & Bermuda Bay Inks; Sponge Brayer; Coastal Weave EF; Black Rhinestones; Glimmer Dots in Coastal Cabana; #FabFri182.

Look at these fun inspirations from this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #331!
I couldn't help but focus on that sweet wintry mug in the inspiration pics - and I happen to have a beloved mug stamp set that I still can't bear to part with - 2017's Hug in a Mug is still so adorable!  I set up three toasty mugs on a pretty shelf, festive, but not necessarily Christmas-y, and this warming sentiment - just the thing for a cool Winter's day or night!  While this set has lovely two-step fill-in stamps for coloring, I found it so much more satisfying to bring on the Blends Markers for some pretty color combos - I can never seem to get enough of these markers!

What a pretty combo In{k}spire Me #413 has for us this week!  Which way to go??
I think I'll just stick with the sketch this week, and I'll shoe-horn in this fish bowl from our new hostess set Make a Splash, too!  I've been wanting to play with this one for a while - there are so many fishbowl scenes in my head, lol!  Today I stuck with this slightly shell-shocked looking guy, and gave him my favorite Dory quote, too.  Total cuteness!

Pedal to the Metal

We're headed for the stars this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #442!
My search for a fun shape tp use today ended fast when I came across Pedal to the Metal - so fun!  I almost diecut it with a  circle, but I really felt like fussy cutting, soooo...  I had to do a pretty major search for some DSP to put behind it - I finally settled on the Crumb Cake sheet from the Perfectly Artistic pack - I don't know HOW old this paper is, a few years at least, lol.  I did a nice strip of Crumb Cake along the bottom for my tire tracks and added some linen twine along the top because it still just looked bare to me.  Still, I like it!
So what will YOU create?  I can't wait to see your work over at the challenge!
Pedal to the Metal Stamp Set; Perfectly Artistic DSP (retired); Whisper White, Basic Black & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red, Basic Black, Gray Granite & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Linen Thread; #TSOT442.

This looked like such a cool challenge over at Less Is More #411 - one-layer, off-center - I just had to try it!
I pulled from my stack of newbies again today - this time I went for these gorgeous ginkgos in the Beautifully Braided set.  I picked a pretty sentiment to shelter under the leaves, and colored everything in with my two tones of Mango Melody Blends - super simple, super fast!  And pretty to boot!

Ooo, time for a little romance at this week's Sunday Stamps #223!
Sometimes I find color challenges to be tough going, and today was definely one of those days, lol.  I finally settled on our gorgeous Modern Heart set, and I colored the heart all funky-fun with a few of our colors.  I love all the sentiments in this one, too, and I was glad to feature this loving one to go with the heart.  I did sneak in a few touches of gold - must have been the candle flame that got me going there, lol...
So, what will YOU create?  I can't wait to see your beauties, over at the challenge!

Aww, look at the sweet image As You See It #217 has for their "love" theme this week!  I think I can match in these lovely colors from Inspire Create Challenge #061, too!
So, I just happen to have gotten a new order in this week, and as usual, I browse that "to be stamped" stack on my desk FIRST when I need some inspiration.  Keeping my eyes peeled for anything with "love" in it, I quickly sussed out our new Outdoor Barbecue set - this is for a future man card class in May, lol.  But how hilarious as a love card now??  I'm so on it, AND I think this is hubby's Valentine from me, lol.  So perfect!

Today I am honored and thrilled to guest design at my beloved CAS on Friday #172 - and it's a get well theme!  Yay!
I always start  out by browsing the stamp shelves for likely candidates, and today I realized I haven't used my Dandelion Wishes in quite a while - I so love the images in this set, and the font used for the sentiments is so cheerful!  I kept things as CAS as I could for the ladies, but I didn't resist very hard at putting threee teensy sequins to go with the wishes, lol.  Soft and gentle folks - just what you're wanting when you don't feel at your best!
I hope you'll join in over at the challenge - I look forward to seeing your designs!

Oh goody!  I have JUST enough time left to play at this week's TGIF #247's birthday theme!
Today I decided I just have NOT used my You Always Deliver set enough - time for a traveling birthday wish!  I did a quick mailman out with a BIG present, his busy little dog, and a cute sentiment for all!  So fun to color - though the mailmen here in Arizona pretty much always wear shorts and short-sleeves, lol.  I'm happy with how it came out, though I did do a rare re-vamp.  Not sure what I was thinking, lol, but I originally mounted this on Granny Apple Green - crazy town!  I quickly pulled it apart and went with Pool Party - muuuuuuch better, lol.

Yeah, baby!  Retro Rubber #126 is back for their first challenge of 2020 with a winter theme - we have missed you guys!! 
When I saw the theme, I knew right away I wanted to pull out my beloved White Christmas set from 2014 - gosh, I still love this set just as much as I ever did, lol.  This little tree-scape just can't be beat, and having a couple critters or birds to add is just so fun!  I kept this really paired down - I really wanted to try and make a Winter card that ISN'T a Christmas card, don't ask me why!  I added some snowy glitter, a couple cardinals, and this lovely sentiment from our Peaceful Moments set, which of course goes great with our new Stitched So Sweetly dies - another new fave, lol.  Love how this came out!
