Yay! So many challenges are starting to come back from their holiday breaks! Today I have this tough one from The Male Room #158 - for a teenager! Yikes! While I'm SO glad we don't have a teenager in the house anymore, lol, I do happen to have JUST the thing! I inked up my new Sale--Bration set Driving By for this one! Now, the VW bus I had as a teen was a not-very-attractive two-tone brown, I would have LOVED to have one in Granny Apple Green! And it looks even cuter over this boyish Misty Moonlight DSP from our SAB Sunshine & Rainbows pack, too! Very fun! Driving By Stamp Set; Sunshine & Rainbows DSP; Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Granny Apple Green, Basic Black & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Tailor Made Tags Dies; Misty Moonlight Cotton Ribbon; Linen Thread; #TMR158.

So, my shape today is kite-shaped, lol - I couldn't resist! Such a cute set this is, and you can dress it up or dress it down! I of course "dressed up" today, and fussy cut EVERYTHING, then floated it over some fancy Flowering Fields DSP. I love the sky sheets in that pack! This one features Poppy Parade and Calypso Coral, so that's the colors I did my kite in - we're soaring! I hope you can play along with us this week - meet you at the challenge!

So excited I don't have to stray too far from Christmas for long with CAS Christmas's January "silver and gold" challenge! Yay! Getting silver AND gold onto one image is always a challenge for me, lol. Then I remembered my favorite star of the year in the Tidings & Trimmings bundle - yes! I was able to do this fancy layered star in both metallics, in a snap! I added a simple "Noel" heat-embossed below, and quit - gotta keep it CAS! I hope you can see the foils together, it looks great, just a challenge to photograph well, lol. Tidings & Trimmings Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Smoky Slate & Versamark Inks; Gold EP; Rectangle Stitched & Christmas Trimmings Dies; #CASChristmasJan22. Birthday Cards 2022 Class Jan 15!

OK, I had to give another new (to me!) challenge a try - this is If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #164, for their January challenge! I laughed out loud when I saw this, and as I commented on a DT card that popped up on another challenge I play at, these are the only kinds of cookies for me for some while! I knew right away I would go straight to our just-retired Arctic Bears set! I also tried to tone it down a bit, and make wintry without being Christmas-centric - this set has fabulous non-Christmas sentiments! I was glad to sneak in a scrap of my wintry Beauty of the Earth DSP, but that's it - not a snowflake in sight! Arctic Bears Stamp Set (retired 2021); Beauty of the Earth DSP; Basic White, Smoky Slate & Night of Navy CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Frosted Epoxy Droplets; #CC164.

I'm playing at the Alphabet Challenge, where "T" is for "trees!" It just so happens, I have some brand new trees to play with, too! Here's a look at Paradise Palms, which also comes with a really well-planned die set, too! I tried to stay focused on the trees, lol, but I couldn't resist trying out the little decorative strip elements in the dies, too - I needed a splash of blue for my beach scene anyway, lol. I'm starting to feel Maui calling! Paradise Palms Stamp Set; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Pool Party CS; Crumb Cake, Just Jade & Soft Suede Inks; Palms & Stitched Shapes (retired) Dies; Wonderful Gems; #AlphabetChallengeTrees. Very fun - Time Out Challenge #204 wants us to think on the theme "new!" Perfect timing! I couldn't resist this sentiment in our brand new set Flowering Tulips - part of a gorgeous new "super suite" that just dropped yesterday! Once again, I'm starting slowly, but I just had to play with the new dies that have "folds" to create these dimensional blossoms - SO NIFTY! I see lots of funky flowers ahead, lol, and when you throw in daubers and gorgeous DSP? Eee! Our new Brushed Brass Butterflies were the perfect finishing touch, too! Flowering Tulips Stamp Set; Basic White, Pear Pizzazz & Highland Heather CS; Old Olive, Pear Pizzazz & Highland Heather Inks; Tulips Dies; Brushed Brass Butterflies; #TOC204. I'm loving all our details at this week's sketch for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #537! What a perfect chance to throw in our "designer's choice" challenge at SU Only #292, too! OK, I'm making a serious break with Christmas mode today, lol! I just couldn't wait to play with my new "fun" set, Nuts & Bolts! Can you believe that I didn't have any robots before now? And check out the cute DSP! I actually got our new Valentine's suite this year, too, the Sweet Conversations bundle! The paper is just as cute with some romantic robots, too, lol. I hope you can join in the fun - see you at the challenges! Nuts & Bolts Stamp Set; Sweet Talk DSP; Basic White, Basic Black & Blushing Bride CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Enamel Heart; #TSOT537; SUOC292. Such a perfect twist on a theme! In{k}spire Me #468 wants us to share New Year's wishes for the coming year! Now, I'm trying to cure myself of the urge to make resolutions - I'm not sure how helpful they are for me - so easy to become a stick I whack myself with! On the other hand, I DO like to make personal growth wishes - like this fabulous sentiment in our about-to-be-released Garden Greenhouse! How appropriate for me, for sure! Time to let go of the old, and start fresh! Yay! I also wanted to try out taming this robust bundle, too - this set has a BIG die set that goes with it, but we don't have to always use ALL our toys, right? Another good growth opportunity, lol... Garden Greenhouse Stamp Set; Evening Evergreen DSP; Basic White CS; Soft Succulent, Just Jade, Evening Evergreen & Mango Melody Inks; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Evening Evergreen Chevron Weave Ribbon; Evening Evergreen Jewels; #IMC468. Perfect timing! CAS on Friday #221 has a New Year's challenge for us this week! I tried to keep it CAS, in color and content, but still bring in a bit of bubbly, know what I mean?? I love this sentiment from the Best Year set for New Year's, and I think matching it with our retired Sip Sip Hooray from 2019 is still the most iconic way to celebrate ringing it in! I added some Gold emboss for my "champagne," and finished with a few Wonderful Gems. Clink!! Best Year & Sip Sip Hooray (retired 2019) Stamp Sets; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; Gold EP; Wonderful Gems; #CASOF221. |
