 Yet another great design theme over at The Male Room #130 - embossing! Inspired by my Witty-Cisms stamp set finally getting here, I decided to try my hand at DOUBLE embossing, lol. I really wanted to try out my also-new Absolutely Argyle EF - very cool! It has amazing detail. I also did a little dabbing with my Versamark pad and added a bit of Silver EP to see if I could really bring out some highlights. I'm really happy with the results - it looks like a silver patina! I finished off with this little grad sentiment from the stamp set - I think silver and blue fits a few schools around here! Witty-Cisms Stamp Set; Whisper White, Silver Foil & Night of Navy CS; Versamark & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Night of Navy Blend Marker; Absolutely Argyle EF; Silver EP; Stitched Shapes Dies; Silver 1/8" Ribbon; #TMR130.

 I love our colors this weeks at Fab Friday #184! I think I'll pull out something new and special, just for them! How about a new SAB item, coming March 3? That coordinates with dies I bet you already have? And is free, free, FREE (with a $100 purchase, lol.) Here's a sneak peek at the lovely Rise & Shine stamp set, available soon as a 2nd Release for Sale-A-Bration. It has loads of reversible stamps, fun sentiments, and lots of Spring flair for your fave cuppa of the day! You'll be seeing this one here quite a bit, I predict! I can't wait to see YOUR creations - head over to the challenge to share them! Rise & Shine Stamp Set; 2021 In Colors DSP; Whisper White CS; Mint Macaron, Pretty Peacock, Petal Pink & Rococo Rose Inks; Rectangle Stitched & Cup of Cheer Dies; Rococo Rose Facetd Dots; #FabFri184.

I spent a LONG time going over stamp sets and techniques for this one, lol. A truck? A spinner? A slider? Argh! Finally I settled on this happy-go-lucky image from Beautiful You - how can you not think of movement when you see this? And best of all, I can't even remember the last time I used this set - crazy! I decided a pretty print dress would be fun today, and did some quick piecing, which pattern I repeated with my background layer. I was worried it would be too simple, but I'm loving the result! Beautiful You Stamp Set; Best Dressed DSP; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Nude & Pool Party Blends Markers; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Purple Posy Faceted Dots; #ICC063.

Nice - The Library Challenge #53 is still in the children's section this week, bringing us Elmer, the patchwork elephant, lol. Looks like a cute story! I didn't think I could pull it together enough to do an actual patchwork elephant, but as soon as I saw this cover, I DID envision lots of colored elephants on the go, lol. I knew I wanted to use my Little Elephant set, too, because he definitely has Elmer's pose down! I was able to fit in 4 rows, and I did them all in a mixed up rainbow of our Brights collection colors. Definitely makes me smile! Little Elephant Stamp Set; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Poppy Parade, Pacific Point, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Daffodil Delight, Gorgeous Grape & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Pacific Point Epoxy Shape; #TLC53.

Our sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #446 reminds me of a ship's portholes, or even airplane windows, lol. So fun! In the end, since we're also adding a "flower power" theme, I decided to go with my gorgeous Painted Poppies - pretty much any excuse to use this DSP will suffice, lol. It's just so gorgeous! I played with different reds and greens this time, too - interesting contrasts... I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this sketch - head on over to the challenge!

OK, I'm just gonna put this out there - Less Is More #413 is just MESSING with me with their "more, but still CAS" challenge this week, lol. I think this is stampin' entrapment, ladies! To solve this riddle, I decided to go with repeating a simple image, which was a great chance to finally ink up my By the Dock set - and there is SO much more in it than this oar! I really had to sit on my hands for this one, but I did pull out almost every brown Blend Marker I have for it, lol. Next time, rainbow oars! By the Dock Stamp Set; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Soft Suede & Bronze Blends Markers; #LIM413.  Pumpkin Club February 29!

We are PARTYING at this week's Sunday Stamps Challenge #225! So, I did linger over Parisian Beauty for a bit, thinking I could pull off a Mardi Gras theme, but I finally settled on Positive Thoughts - I just LOVE that fern stem, especially when I have the Nature's Thoughts Dies to do all the heavy lifting for me, lol. I tried to stick closer to our color tones, so this is probably the darkest version of this set I've tried so far, though I couldn't help stamping off an extra fern! So, I can't wait to see what YOU come up with this round - see you over at the challenge! Positive Thoughts & Love What You Do Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Garden Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Golden Glitz Delicata, Rich Razzleberry & Garden Green Inks; So Saffron Blend Marker; Nature's Thoughts Dies; Garden Green Enamel Shapes (retired); #SSC225.

Ooo, As You See It #219 has a very cool sketch for us this week, and I can totally see why they're calling it "hive," lol. Hm, their DT has plenty of "bee" inspiration for us, I definitely need to go off trail here... Hm, how about Tasteful Textures? I haven't used this one in an AGE! I stayed pretty pared down and true to the basic sketch I think, and this stamp set always sends me straight to our lovely In Colors this year, because of the beautiful Woven Threads DSP that goes with it, even though I only used some tiny scraps here. And when I couldn't decide which focal image to go with, I just did both! Cool!

The Sisterhood of Crafters is having a tea party this week, and we're all invited! I've accumulated a few tea sets over the years - and I love them all, lol. I even keep the sets that mention the tea in passing, like Balloon Celebration, where this sentiment came from. Well, OK, that's a cool set in its own right, too, I guess, lol, but it's my fave tea sentiment, too! Next up, I love my A Nice Cuppa set because it has AWESOME dies to go with - even silverware! I tried everything out over some nice florals from our Best Dressed DSP. Hm, I think I need a tea date soon!

Retro Rubber #128 has a fun color and love theme challenge going for us this week! I totally knew the love set I wanted to resurrect is my beloved Wood You Be Mine? from 2015. This lumberjack has always made my heart go pitter-patter, lol, what can I say? I did a pretty pink background in some Pinewood Plank emboss, then colored and fussy-cut my man in his romantic colors, lol. He's just so cute! So fun! Wood You Be Mine?
