 Hm, we have an unusual knit photo inspiration to play with at this round of Time Out Challenges #282 - wild! Since I just had out my Let It Snow DSP yesterday, I knew I had a red sheet with white flurries on it - did I have something for the black and white sheet? I went digging, and digging, and was just about to give up when I remembered that the BACKS of all the Zoo Crew sheets had a black and white pattern - yes! I picked this starry one as closest, and set up a layout the followed the inspo pic. What to do over it? Eventually I spotted my old Witty-cisms stamp set from 2020 - I finally decided the strawberry pun could work just fine! I stamped it up and colored it, couldn't avoid a touch of green for the crown, and pulled out my new Textured Notes dies - perfect! Love the edge detail! This worked out better than I thought it would, lol. Witty-cisms Stamp Set (retired 2020); Let It Snow & Zoo Crew DSP (both retired); Basic White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; Textured Notes Dies; Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon; Peaceful Poppies Sequins (retired); #TOC282.

 Woo, this is a tall order! Shopping Our Stash #541 is called "thrice as nice," and they want us to use at least THREE different DSPs on our card! Yikes! At first I was all in a tizzy - is that even possible?? Then I remembered the cute Fruit Salad card I did with the Everyday Arches Dies - now THERE'S a way to show off some DSP! How about a crisp and cheery version for Christmas?? I dug out my old Let It Snow Specialty DSP pack to choose some perfect patterns - love these sheets with the glitter detail on them! Then I stamped a nice big Christmas sentiment from Peaceful Season for the center seam - perfect! A few Glitter Sequins is just the right finishing touch! And if you count the envelope, I got SEVEN patterns on there! Woo! Peaceful Season Stamp Set; Let It Snow DSP (retired); Basic White, Shaded Spruce & Coastal Cabana CS; Versamark Ink; White EP; Everyday Arches Dies; Glitter Sequins; #SOS541.

Such a great color challenge at this round of Cupcake Inspirations #611! So classy! I could sort of remember a retired DSP we had that was black, white and red - and a pet one to boot! I did indeed still have a bit of Playful Pets DSP left on a shelf, and I had this stalking kitty already cut out from another sheet already in there - mission accomplished! I matched up my kitty and yarn with this sentiment from 2020's Nine Lives - such a great cat saying! A kitty trinket and some Matte Black Dots and I am all set! Nine Lives Stamp Set (retired 2020); Playful Pets DSP (retired); Basic White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Black Baker's Twine; Playful Pets Trinkets (retired); Matte Black Dots; #CIC611.   Such pretty Spring colors we have this round at Sunday Stamps #354! So glad to play with our Delightful Wishes suite again today - I do love forsythia and all the happy memories it brings! This time, I took more of the dies out for a ride - the little blossoms were way easier to manage than I thought they would be, lol. I also added some of our upcoming Starburst Sequins in Daffodil Delight - a cute subtle touch! And I still had a tiny bit of Pool Party Baker's Twine to use - I think I might be able to manage one more card before it's all gone, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR pretty projects in our lovely colors - meet you at the challenge! Delightful Wishes Stamp Set; Floral Delight DSP; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry, Pecan Pie & Pool Party Inks; Delightful Wishes Dies; Pool Party Baker's Twine; Starburst Sequins in Daffodil Delight; #SSC354.   This is a fun color challenge at Inspire Create Challenge #186 - "any" yellow, pink and blue should be cool! This particular color challenge was made easier for me by the "any" comment, lol - otherwise these are challenging colors for me. I am SO not a pastel person! Luckily our moody 2023-25 In Colors were the perfect adaptation, lol, though I had to go a pretty imaginative route anyway! My eye was caught right away by our still-gorgeous Forever Forest Stamp Set, and I got thinking how I could combine two colors in the trees, and use the "yellow" on the moon and stars - score! All I needed to do was pick an additional set for my sentiment, since the trees don't have any. This line from the You Are Beautiful set seemed a good match for pink and blue trees to me, lol, and I finished with some "yellow" details. Whew! Forever Forest & You Are Beautiful Stamp Sets; Basic White CS; Baja Blue, Moody Mauve & Wild Wheat Inks; Forever Forest & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon; Wild Wheat Glossy Dots; #ICC186.   Yay - another very cool sketch from Sketch Saturday #769! So, we have another super cute critter set coming soon in our Online Exclusives! He's called Resourceful Rusty, and you can color him up in so many ways! Today I went with a straight up red fox - he's trying so hard to hang on to all his apples! I though a few giant-sized ones from our Fruit Salad DSP would be the perfect detail addition, too, lol - imagine how big his eyes would be! Anyway, there are also 3 great sentiments of encouragement and support - just perfect for a quick pick-me-up! Love him! Resourceful Rusty Stamp Set; Fruit Salad & Gray Granite (retired) DSP; Basic White, Gray Granite & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red & Cajun Craze Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Transparent Dots in Lemon Lime Twist; #SS769.   Aw, In{k}spire Me #555 is their Valentine's Special! Yay! I couldn't resist pulling out my super sweet Bee My Valentine set for this one - I even still have a little of the DSP left! When I rummaged through my Sweet Sorbet folder of retired scraps, I also found this awesome Ombre Glimmer sheet, too - perfect for a big background heart! I did a quick (but still cute!) bee, and dressed up my sentiment with some honeycomb, too - so fun, and really fast, somehow! Bee My Valentine Stamp Set; Bee Mine DSP (retired); Basic White, Sweet Sorbet (retired) & Sweet Sorbet Glimmer (retired) CS; Daffodil Delight & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Sweet Sorbet Stamp-n-Write Marker; Bee Builder & 1 3/4" Circle Punches; Stitched Be Mine Dies (retired); Adhesive Hearts & Flowers (retired); #IMC555.   Oo, another fun one - The Male Room #195 wants to see something monochrome! I almost did some mushrooms in sepias - I've been seeing that around and it looks so awesome! However, I spotted my Bright Skies bundle and realized that I have a feeling this one won't be with us much longer, lol, so it's should get some ink! I did some layers in grays: Basic Gray, Smoky Slate, Gray Granite & Pebbled Path - I also found a little Smoky Slate Twine! I cut out a few pretty clouds with the dies, and finished with my Basic Gray Pearls - so elegant... I know I could have monochromes anything, but with hubby red-green colorblind, we lean towards gray around here, lol. Bright Skies Stamp Set; Basic White, Basic Gray & Smoky Slate CS; Basic Gray, Gray Granite & Pebbled Path Inks; Bright Skies Dies; Smoky Slate Twine; Basic Gray Pearls; TMR195.   We have a pretty tag sketch for you this round at Retro Rubber #248! Since, as previously mentioned, I'm a little over red and pink, and hearts, lol, I decided to finding a striped DSP with some different colors! I have to say, this sheet of the different weathered boards in the Country Woods DSP pack has been my fave for a bit! What to go with it? How about some manly tools for Father's Day? This one is perfect for my Da, who never forgets to tell me how much he loves me, and how proud of me he is - a girl always needs to hear that from her dad! Can't wait to send this one for his big day this year! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our fun sketch - and don't forget to make it Retro! Nailed It Stamp Set (retired 2017); Country Woods DSP; Basic White, Basic Beige, Crumb Cake & Shy Shamrock CS; Early Espresso Ink; Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight & Real Red Blends Markers; Build It & Tailor Made Tags Dies (both retired); Iridescent Pearls; #RRCB248.   We're all about the love this round at Make My Monday #245! I have to admit, I'm getting a little full-up already on all the pink and red, lol, so I decided to pull out my hungry friends here, Friendly Seagulls! I set them up with an ocean background, and gave them some sandy hearts to stand around on - the only red here is on those fry boxes! Had a fun time coloring and fussy cutting! I can't wait to see YOUR love notes, too - meet you at the challenge! Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set; Sand & Sea DSP (retired); Basic White & Sahara Sand (retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Daffodil Delight, Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Real Red & Pecan Pie Blends Markers; Sweet & Sassy Dies (retired); Flowers For Every Season Twine (retired); #MMM245.  |
