Check out our Spring Flowers theme at this week's As You See It #270! So, even though it's a little bit of a "gimme" with our pretty inspiration pic, I HAD to go with our gorgeous Daffodil Daydream set for this one, lol. I love coloring in these beauties! I also wanted to make myself use one of the darker sheets in the Sale-A-Bration DSP pack we had that goes with it - I was so intimidated by them, but I was determined to break out! I'm actually really happy with how this looks, and it was good to slip in a little Easter sentiment, too! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this one - meet you there!

I'm loving this week's challenge from Make My Monday #169 - food and drink! After a quick browse (and yes, I do have a section of "food" stamps!) I settled on Whiskey Business - I haven't used this one in SO long! I stamped my images up in Basic Gray, and had some fun coloring in with my blends - I think maybe I went a tad dark, but I keep remembering this decanter my grandmother used to have that was always this silvery color - wish I knew how to color THAT! Anyway, still such a cute set, I couldn't resist! Whiskey Business Stamp Set; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Basic Gray Ink; Smoky Slate, Pool Party, Mango Melody & SU500 Blends Markers; #MMM169.

Time for another one-layer challenge from Less is More #459 - with the addition that we can only feature one WORD, too! Argh! OK, somehow I quickly became obsessed with finally STAMPING a rainbow with our new Rainbow of Happiness set - I have been pretty enamored with the dies so far, lol. Could I find a word I could line up underneath? Why, yes! Turns out that the "hello" in Friendly Hello is just the right size to line up under a stack of three of the rainbow bands - woot! I masked off the rest of the sentiment, stamped that first in black, and then built the bands over the top. Then I couldn't resist stamping and stamping off a few of the tiny hearts that come in the rainbow set, too, shhh!

I'm combining it with our colors this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #384, too! Colors like this ALWAYS send me hunting for a flower set, lol, so i decided to pull in the smaller stem from Blessings of Home - so many good coloring possibilities! I stamped in Basic Gray as well, before coloring, I feel like this gives a softer look to the shading in the stamp than black. I was pleased with how the coloring came out, but I really wanted a Mint Macaron DSP for my background. Guess my color stacks have gone walkabout (??) but I found this pretty sheet in the old By the Shore pack of nautical prints. Perfect, even if the neutral is Vanilla instead of White, lol. I'm not picky, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week - meet you there!

Now's my chance to play with another new set from the Spring Mini Catty - say hello to Wildlife Wonder! I really wanted a chance to ink this up because I wanted to see how well the gorgeous animal stamps, which are DisINKtive in style, would actually stamp up. I find I sometimes have to work with them a bit to "get" them sometimes, lol... Shhh... Anyway, this perfect bear popped out first try, and I ended up NOT resorting to my Blender Pen for extra shading after all. Love him! And a cinch to fussy cut! I can't wait to try the wolf, next...

And you know what springs to mind for this one?? A Hedgehog shape, of course! Lol, these cuties have been on my desk for a couple weeks now, just waiting for their chance at some ink. The larger hedgehog even works with the builder punch, but I went ahead and fussy cut everything since I was doing so much of it already, lol. A very relaxing job it was, too! I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our fun sketch - meet you there!

Well, I think it's safe to say, we're big dog lovers here, lol. I could spend days at a time story-telling about their antics, scrapes and snores. So much of our lives revolves around them! That said, I couldn't settle on just one card, so I grabbed my Happy Tails bundle and made a little color block trio to celebrate them. I kept the cards pretty simple, except for the color blocks, and finished with a few Elegant Faceted Gems on each. Sophie, Bella and Harley, this trio's for you!

I finally settled on a only-slightly-fancy fancy fold, lol, and went with a basic gatefold, to which I added a floating panel. One of the thing I love about these is all the room to write inside, AND that they still stand up for display. I have admit, I'm not a huge fan of card designs that don't stand up easily, lol. I used some of my precious remaining Beauty of the Earth DSP to inspire my colors, and FINALLY inked up my new Home & Garden set - which I of course didn't show off the awesome dies for yet, lol. I'm just a study in contradictions today, lol.

Oh my gosh, I laughed out loud when I saw the image for the anything goes challenge at this week's Cupcake Inspiration #538 - so brilliant to show naked cupcakes! For whatever reason, this challenge pic was just the inspiration I needed to finally play with our new Here Together suite - designed to show off our new collection of Stampin' Blends Markers in a range of skin tones. I SO love them! Such a great palette to have, and the fun papers in the special All Together DSP pack are the perfect complement! I chose this row of hands and colored in with a random choice from each of the 5 color pairs, and finished with my fave sentiment from the stamp set - perfect! Here Together Stamp Set; All Together DSP; Basic White, Early Espresso & Crumb Cake CS; Versamark Ink; Shimmer White EP; SU600, SU300, SU1000, SU200 & SU800 Blends Markers; Rectangle Stitched Dies; #CIC538. Another fun code word from this week's Addicted to CAS #214 - "snowflake!" So, my hands-down fave snowflake this past year has been this little cookie cutie from the Frosted Gingerbread set - I wish I could make cookies that look like this, lol. I've been so tickled with my "rediscovery" of my Chocolate Chip Craft Ink, that I couldn't resist clear embossing this one in our Iridescent Ice, too! This card is a bit more than I would normally do for ATC - I feel like I've gone a bit overboard for their CAS brief, but, I just sat back and let it all happen, lol. So yay for the crunchy border and Vanilla sequins - it all baked up nicely, lol.
