Here is this week's Merry Monday #234 - I love clean and simple! OK, I hope what I've ended up with qualifies as clean and simple, lol - I really tried! It LOOKS busy because I used my giant Merry Medley background stamp - should I have left more white space? Then I just added a ribbon and two simple punched trees. That looked naked. So just one rhinestone each. Snicker. Did I make it or not?? Merry Medley Stamp Set; Whisper White, Old Olive & Pear Pizzazz CS; Pear Pizzazz Ink; Real Red Cotton Ribbon; Tree Punch; Basic Jewels Rhinestones; #MM234. Lift Me Up Class Feb 11! Up, up and away!

Another playful sketch from this week's Create With Connie & Mary #443 - love it! I think I can manage something cute with these bright colors from Can You Case It #146, too! So, WOW, the card I ended up with is a bit of a departure for me stylistically, especially considering I started with acorns, I swear, lol. I struggle a lot with clean and simple challenges. Layers, texture, bling - I want it all! But today, I decided to see what I could strip away, or at least minimize. And well, I love dots. Especially colored dots on white. Yes, my favorite phone game is, you guessed it, Two Dots. I guess this is my ode to dots, lol. PS. Thank goodness I have a little hoarded stash of Bravo Burgundy - I ordered a little extra to keep when it retired, because it's one of my daughter's high school colors, lol. Saved!

I think this dapper color challenge from TGIF #93 will fit in just right, too! And at the last second, I decided to also drop in this week's Paper Players #330 Valentines challenge, just 'cause I could, lol. I went hunting for shapes while trying to keep the colors in mind - that was tougher than I though it would be. Then I hit on my new man-fave (so to speak, ahem) Nailed It. Today all the little tools are happy, because we're in LO-ove, lol. This is definitely my card this year for hubby! I've been smiling all morning thinking about our first dates. Giggle.

I decided to pull out Kinda Eclectic today - I think it's been forever since I inked that one up! My eye was caught by the possibilities of that band of dots, and I was feeling kinda purple today, too, lol. I do love how that stamp is made to fit together - so nice to get out the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig for some stampin' precision! These feel like weird little details to pull together, but really, I like how the finished card came out - definitely eclectic!

So out came Sweet Cupcake - I worked hard to get one that I didn't drool on for you, lol. Only took two tries today! I pulled out some retired DSP scrap to go with it as well - such a tasty combo!

I was thinking the other day that I wanted to make sure and create a Valentines card with Bear Hugs, and today turned out to be that day, lol. This is the second set that I was reminded had a Valentine's Day-ready sentiment, and besides, my bears haven't been out to play in a while (hibernating, you know...)

I know Merry Monday's inspiration pic seems like a giveaway, but I couldn't help gravitating to my beloved Embellished Ornaments for this one! I even got to use one of the coordinating thinlits that I can't remember using before! That's right, the small round ornament feels new to me, lol. I also went back to this retired DSP. Such nostalgia - I think this was one of my fave DSPs everr!
