 Excellent - we have some words to live by at this week's Time Out Challenge #180! Not too sure about my results for this one - it was a tough one! I just don't have that many (or any!) stamps of books - how can that be?? In the end, I created a nice little stack from my old Hand-Delivered set, and added this quote from Thoreau - answering one quote with another, I guess, lol. This will make a cute note for a friend, though! Hand-Delivered (retired) & Silhouette Scenes Stamp Sets; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake, Old Olive & Night of Navy Blends Markers; #TOC180.

 I'm loving our columnar sketch this week at Sunday Stamps#250 - let's see if I can add a little Valentine's, too! I went hunting for some "columns" to use, I really had a hard time finding something that spoke to me! Then I came across my Love You To Pieces Set that retired last year - that could be fun! As I pulled everything out to look over, I realized I had a TON of leftover puzzle pieces tucked in the die envelope, so I decided to use those - I didn't really have to do anything much for this card after all! Didn't take me too long when all the cutting and stacking was all set already... So there you have it - my puzzle scraps, lol! What will YOU create for us this week? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge! Love You To Pieces Stamp Set; Whisper White, Basic Black, Silver Foil, Petal Pink, Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Soft Sea Foam CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Puzzle Pieces Dies; Black Ribbon; #SSC250.

Here's a cool challenge - The Sisterhood of Crafters wants us to create our own background this week! My fave kind of background to make is by STAMPING! And since I still have a couple fresh new stamps on my desk waiting for ink, I decided to give Ride the Range a go! Such a cute set, chock full of fun western images, like cows, hay-bales and barbed wire. Today, though, I went for this horseshoe, in a few sunny yellows, with a featured one popped up with the perfect sentiment! I'm a little sad I didn't need to use any of the awesome dies that go with the stamps, but they'll be waiting, lol. Ride The Range Stamp Set; Whisper White & Crushed Curry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; So Saffron, Daffodil Delight & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Stitched Shapes Dies; Crushed Curry Crinkle Ribbon; #TSOCBackgrounds.

As usual, I got my proportions all out of whack, but I did manage to get all the elements there, lol. For whatever reason, once I hit on Simply Succulents, I just couldn't let go! I do have fun coloring these cuties, so many variations out there in the succulent world for me to try my hand at, but I almost always land on some version of greens with an edge of purple - so pretty! I carried the color theme through with my papers, too - look at me, all buttoned up! Simply Succulents Stamp Set; Soft Sea Foam DSP; Whisper White, Highland Heather & Purple Posy CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Smoky Slate, Old Olive, Soft Sea Foam & Rich Razzleberry Blends Markers; Potted Succulents Dies; Iridescent Sequins; #HSS356.

I don't have much in the way of current sporty sets, but when I checked out the shelves of retirement, I came across the wonderful Clubhouse bundle - it's been ages since I inked it! On a hunch, I went through my retired DSP stash, and came up with the coordinating Country Club paper, too! Looking through THAT, I was reminded of my intention to go back and play with the illustration sheets - I always meant to, and somehow never did. So I cut out this pretty little fairway scene, and did some playing with my colored pencils - also something I don't do too often, lol. It was fun! Clubhouse Stamp Set; Country Club DSP; Night of Navy Ink; Watercolor Pencils; Blender Pen; Golf Club Dies; #C4G263.   Wow, I'm loving the pretty sketch this week at As You See It #242 - perfect for their hearts and flowers theme, too! I had a little chuckle when I studied this heart - because for me, I saw cactus, lol. How not, with our gorgeous Flowering Cactus Medley? I love everything about this collection! I played with a little bit of the fun DSP for my background, and inked up the cactus shape that most reminds me of this heart - there's even flowers to layer over it! I finished with a few of the felt embellishments, too - gotta play with ALL the toys! Flowering Cactus Stamp Set; Flowering Cactus DSP; Whisper White, Mossy Meadow & Soft Sea Foam CS; Old Olive & Calypso Coral Inks; Flowering Cactus, Hippo & Friends & Rectangle Stitched Dies; Flowering Cactus Felt Embellishments; #AYSI242.   We have a lovely romantic sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #492, and we'd like to see a 3-D item for SU Only #268. And just to round out my three-fer, I have these perfect bold colors from Retro Rubber #151 - black, white and red! This is a tall order! I started by deciding on a tag for my 3-D item - just in time for hubby's Valentine's present, too! I went on the prowl for something old and gooey (lol) on my shelves of retirement, and came across PS. I Love You from 2012 - still so sweet! This is the one that has the little chocolate-covered strawberry in it, too - remember that? Yum! Anyway, this "heart of hearts" was my fave image from that set, and I even still have the punch, natch. From there, all I needed to do was shrink down the sketch to fit on a tag - whew! I love how it came out, and can't wait to plant it on my sweetie! I can't wait to see YOUR projects this week, too - meet you at the challenges! PS. I Love You Stamp Set (retired 2012); Basic Black, Real Red & Whisper White CS; Real Red & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Full Heart & Scallop Edge Border Punches (both retired); Real Red Cotton Ribbon; Clothespin; Resin Heart Embellishments; #TSOT492; #SUOC268; #RRCB151.
 It's time for a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #121 - and we want to see your snowmen! I couldn't resist going back to my still-beloved Snow Buddies set from 2009 - these guys are so happy! I kept things fairly simple with a CAS white card front, and splashes of color on my little guy. I think this is the first time I've ever used the ice skates from this set - {GASP!} I added a swirly breeze and some pretty line-art snowflakes to go with, and then couldn't resist my snowflake sequins to finish - he's so cute! I can't wait to see YOUR snow-people this month - see you at the challenge! Snow Buddies (retired 2009) & Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Sets; Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Granny Apple Green & Pool Party Blends Markers; Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes; #SCC121.  |
