 Very cute - The Male Room #183 would like to see a Valentine, or at least for us to use a heart! OK, I think I managed something pretty cute indeed, with the help of this chonky bear from Fluffiest Friends - he's a snuggly bear! As soon as I spotted this honey sheet in the Bee Mine DSP pack, I knew it was made to go with this set, too, as well as Bee My Valentine, lol. Bee My Valentine even has the perfect honey sentiment, which totally makes up for there not being any in Fluffiest Friends, in my book, lol. Anyway, I got the hearts in there, and I'm ready for a cuppa now, too, lol. Perfect! Fluffiest Friends & Bee My Valentine Stamp Sets; Bee Mine DSP; Basic White & Sweet Sorbet CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Daffodil Delight & Sweet Sorbet Blends Markers; Fluffiest Friends Dies; Adhesive-Backed Hearts & Flowers; #TMR183.

 Another fun one - AAA #259 is anything goes, with an optional birthday twist! Sweet! A set I haven't used in a while (and yes, I might need Mexican for dinner tonight, lol) is Taco Fiesta! I just love this birthday sentiment, so I tried to make a CAS card around it! A simple row of some guac elements, the perfect sentiment below, with just a squeeze a lime - yum! These are so fun to color with my blends! Taco Fiesta Stamp Set; Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green, Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight, Pecan Pie & Real Red Blends Markers; Old Olive Matte Dots; #AAA259.   We have a fun Spring-y tic-tac-toe for you all this round at Retro Rubber #225! I had to sit with this one for a bit to figure out a direction I wanted to go in, lol. Finally, I picked out a few things I DIDN'T want to do, lol, and worked from there! One of my choices remaining was the top row - shaped card, yellow & green and pattern paper - what do I have that could go with that? I got to thinking about a discussion we had about the Deckled Circle dies in class recently - SO MANY CIRCLES! And some big enough to create a shaped card base! Ta da! This set me on the hunt for "round" sets, and out came Arrange a Wreath from 2021! Since the colors said "Easter" for me, it pretty much flew on from there, and I LOVE how it came out! This was a fun one! I can't wait to see YOUR retro creations for our tic-tac-toe this round - meet you there! Arrange A Wreath Stamp Set (retired 2021); Daffodil Delight DSP; Basic White, Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green CS; Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Inks; Wreath Builder & Deckled Circles Dies; Large Oval Punch; #RRCB225.   Good times ahead - we want to see your fun folds this round at Make My Monday #220! I opted for a floating panel trifold for today, and jumped at the chance to show a new preview set, coming March 1 - this time it's the Simply Zinnia suite! I got in a little bit of everything except the embossing folder, lol. I had to really think through how to get my shapes to work for this one, and I finally hit on placing a panel of this Nested Essentials shape behind my zinnias - such a cool effect! It wasn't too tricky to work it all around my sentiment after I made that leap, and then I got to focus on my bright and happy coloring, lol. Here's a picture of the card flattened out, too, so you can see how it comes together! I can't wait to see YOUR fun fold projects this round, too - meet you at the challenge! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set; Flowering Zinnias DSP; Basic White, Melon Mambo & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Pumpkin Pie, Melon Mambo, Petal Pink & Berry Burst Blends Markers; Simply Zinnia, Nested Essentials & Stylish Shapes Dies; Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins; #MMM220.   Now this is a fun one! Shopping Our Stash #515 would like us to "put our best face forward" and add a human face to our card! Tricky! So, except for Santa, turns out I don't have many faces here, lol - I'm more of a critter gal! BUT, I remembered, I have a newly acquired Sassy Suzie, from 2009, that I have never inked up! Perfect! As I reviewed the sentiments for this cutie, I realized WHY she's called Sassy Suzie, lol. She'll say anything! Since she's sitting at this little cafe table, I gave her a cafe front background from the Les Shoppes DSP pack, and had some fun coloring her in. At the last second, I put one of her zingers inside, too - I'll have to choose the recipient carefully, lol. Sassy Suzie Stamp Set (retired 2009); Les Shoppes DSP; Basic White & Misty Moonlight CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Night of Navy, SU400, SU100, Cherry Cobbler, Gray Granite, Moody Mauve, Boho Blue & Pebbled Path Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems; #SOS515.   I'm excited today to play at a new-to-me challenge that is right up my alley! It's anything goes this round at Critter Crazy Challenges #83! Yay! This is my chance to ink up another Online Exclusive preview - this cute kitty is from the Pets & More set! It has 5 cute critters in it, and all of them (plus a few accessories, lol) are REALLY symmetrical, for reverse stamping that works like a charm! I stamped the detail side of my kitty first in Black, then flipped him over and added some stamped off Smoky Slate to fill in his colors! I couldn't resist added a dot of Berry Burst for his nose, too, lol, I do like to be matchy-matchy! He needed a Berry Burst fishie, too! Still, this is pretty super-CAS for me! Pets & More and Happy Labels Stamp Sets; Basic White & Berry Burst CS; Berry Burst, Memento Tuxedo Black & Smoky Slate Inks; #CCC83.   It's really about the love this week, lol - The Flower Challenge #88 would like us to add a heart! I decided to look over my Shelves of Retirement for this one - and I haven't inked up Beautiful Thistle in who knows how long! Winner winner! I started by checking my scraps folders for something good for the background, and I came across this retired sheet of Soft Sea Foam in a plaid - perfect! I matched this with Highland Heather, to carry the theme, lol, and got to work on my thistles. Turns out I love this combo of green and purple, lol, and I stamped the smallest sentiment on this fun heart in the Radiating Stitches Dies. I even had some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to finish things off! Beautiful Thistle Stamp Set (retired 2023); Soft Sea Foam DSP (retired); Basic White & Highland Heather CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; White EP; Highland Heather & Soft Sea Foam Blends Markers; Beautiful Thistle (retired) & Radiating Stitches Dies; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; #TFC88.

Time Out Challenges #257 is celebrating a BIG birthday! 10 years! So we get to celebrate too, by making birthday cards for this challenge! This card turned out to be a REAL time out for me today, lol. I got to thinking, what was I stamping 10 years ago? What's on the shelves of retirement from 2014?? Turns out most of my 2014 stamps are Christmas ones, lol, BUT my beloved Skinny Mini Alphabet set was released that year! This really took me back to my alphabet addiction days, lol, I think I still have like 10 different ones, not even counting dies! I finally pulled a catty, too - what else was going on that year? Turns out I even happen to have this pack of Confetti Celebration DSP from then, too, and since I hung on to my Bermuda Bay, I can even coordinate! And so this card was born, lol - what fun it's been! What a Time Out! Skinny Mini Alphabet Stamp Set (retired 2014); Confetti Celebration DSP (retired); Basic White & Bermuda Bay (retired) CS; Bermuda Bay Ink (retired); Bermuda Bay Buttons (retired!); White Baker's Twine; Rhinestone Waves Basic Jewels; #TOC257.

AAA Birthday #58 would like us to incorporate hearts in our birthday cards this month - a double whammy! Turns out the upcoming A Little Latte DSP has just the stuff I need today, though I jumped to the Something Fancy bundle for my sentiment! Love this little "belated" thought, and when better than over a couple good cuppas, lol. This fun background sheet had lots of little hearts, and I found these two cups with different barista hearts, too! Perfect! I finished with a few Swirl Dots, too. STILL smitten with this suite, obviously, lol! Something Fancy Stamp Set; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso Ink; Something Fancy & Latte Love Dies; Adhesive-Backed Swirl Dots; #AAAB58.

We still have time for a little romance at this round's Hand Stamped Sentiments #432, lol - I picked all my favorite loving inspirations for you! Now, that romantic beach-side meal looks pretty awesome to me, followed closely by the chocolates, lol, BUT, I went with the roses today! I pulled my hoarded Hues of Happiness DSP to nab this Melon Mambo collection, and popped up this simple heart with a sentiment from our SAB set Heartfelt Hellos - definitely how I feel about my hubby - love him more each day! I'm so lucky in love! I can't wait to see YOUR romance projects from my inspiration board - meet you at the challenge! Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Set; Hues of Happiness DSP; Basic White & Melon Mambo CS; Versamark Ink; White EP; Sweet & Sassy and Blossoming Happiness Dies (both retired); Melon Mambo Glossy Dots; #HSS432.
