Oo, we're all about the drama this round at Cupcake Inspirations #565's black and white challenge!
After a brief search, I found my almost completely unused pack of our All Together DSP - this was the cute little 6" x 6" pack that was released when we debuted our set of Natural Tones Blends Markers.  This pack was made to color, and has some awesome black and white patterns!  I found this leafy sheet that I liked, and went hunting for a botanical set to go with it - enter Plentiful Plants, lol.  I stuck with a basic layout and layered everything for even more drama!  My Matte Black Dots really pop out the dot accents on the DSP, too!

This looks SUPER fun - AAA #236 wants to see something inspired by a movie, song or book!  Challenge accepted!
Surveying my stamps, I finally decided I had the most choice in the Christmas department.  Once I managed that, I settled on using Santa's Delivery - I just didn't use this enough last year!  I started putting together this big elaborate scene, with lots of characters, and remembered at the last second - gotta keep it CAS!  Whew!  So I colored up this cute train engine, and finished with a few action details.  I think I'm channeling the Jackson 5 version of this song today!

Bring on the cake!  We want to see your retro birthdays this round at Retro Rubber #203!
I went for a deep dive today, and came up with 2015's From The Herd - such a cute set, lol.  I think the last time I colored this one it was with Stamp-n-Write Markers instead of Blends - so much easier with the Blends!  I floated everything over this fun dotty panel of Dandy Designs DSP, and took my detail colors from that.  I also pieced my bottom sentiment so I could get in the "party animals" part, lol, even though you can probably tell that they are from looking!  Good times!
I can't wait to see YOUR birthday wishes this round - meet you at the challenge!

Very cool - what a great day to celebrate at Festive Friday #130 - International Children's Book Day!
It was rough to realize I didn't have much in the way of BOOKS for this one, sigh.  But I pulled some things I'm really happy with from the list - bright colors, alphabet letters, patterned paper and square!  I tried to make it look a little like kids alphabet blocks, with a congratulatory "parents" sentiment below!  I let my brights theme carry through, too, and added the last missing color to my envelope - very cheery!

Oo, another fun quote from Time Out Challenges #234 - but it could be a tough one if I over-think it, lol.
I went with our playful Playing in the Rain suite for this one - I think the set perfectly illustrates March, lol.  Happy rain, Spring flower riots, and you STILL need a coat, lol!  I did some scrappy panels of my two favorite DSPs, and paper-pieced a cheery little jacket for my dancing bunny.  I also added more flowers - they're going crazy here with all our rain!

Rainbow Shopping

Such a brilliant theme at this week's Shopping Our Stash #492 - "somewhere over the rainbow!"  Love it!
I have JUST the stash for this one, too, lol.  I quick ran and pulled out my hoarded Sunshine & Rainbows DSP from last Spring's SAB, and I still have the stamp bundle to go with it, too!  I picked a yummy sheet with lots of rainbows, and then did a stamped one on Basic White to go over it.  I had to adapt some of my colors - is anybody else's Pool Party stamping green these days??  Grr...  Anyway, I subbed Polished Pink for Melon Mambo (that pad is out in a class box) and Coastal Cabana for the Pool Party - it really brightens things up!  I added the two sentiments, and a few clouds at the bottom to really round things out.  I had to cut this with my very first Circles Collection Dies - love having the larger circles still on hand!

Vroooom!  Time for another speed challenge at As You See It #295!  Let's start our clocks and hit the outdoors!
With less than two weeks til our annual trip to Maui, I pretty much have "beach" on the brain 24/7 right now, lol.  With that thought, I checked out our new Seaside Bay suite that I broke down and got - some cute elements, and different enough from my other ocean-y sets, I decided.  As I flipped through the DSP, though, the sheet I fell for the most was this lovely with all the seashells - which sent me straight back to the Friends Are Like Seashells set!  That would be a tough one, but I like a challenge!  So I thought the card all the way through, and assembled EVERYTHING I needed for each step, even moving my Big Shot right next to me, and laying out all the dies I'd need.  I also chopped up my stamped shells CS ahead of time, because THAT die is one giant die, sigh.  I originally wanted to tousle metallic thread behind the sentiment, and switched to our old Gold Hoops as faster.  And no fussing with layers - I went with an edge-to-edge full cover for my card front.  So with all that prep, I JUST squeaked in at 9 minutes, 57 seconds - and that doesn't include the envelope, which I think is fair, lol.  My office looks like a tornado went through it!
I can't wait to see YOUR speedy projects for this one - meet you there!

This will be a fun one - Make My Monday #196 would like us to use Spring colors this round!
I couldn't resist letting the DSP do all the hard work today, and pulled out this perfect sheet of almost full-size Spring flowers from our just-retired Dainty Flowers pack!  I actually wasn't even going to get the sweet Dainty Delight bundle that t coordinates with until I saw this paper in Sale-A-Bration, lol.  I decided to do all my layers and extras in Fresh Freesia, which I think of as SUCH a Spring color!  And these flowers definitely also take me to Spring - with all the rain we've been getting here in AZ (YAY!  We need it so bad!) we are seeing a crazy number of wildflowers this year!  The wash behind my house is just packed, and it's wonderful!

Birthday In Bloom

Hm, which way should I go for The Flower Challenge #78's die cuts OR stencils challenge??
Die cuts win!  The first set I thought of for that was our amazing In Bloom bundle, which retired last year.  I love the dies so much that I rarely even USE the floral stamps, lol.  I decided to go all out with some bold brights for my blossoms and leaves, and even did a background panel in our gorgeous Stitched Greenery die, too.  I tried out that die on the envelope flap as well - it looks pretty darn cool, but I'm not sure it shows in the picture very well.  I love all these cheery colors together, and resisted adding extra embellishments after I added centers to my tiny accent flowers.  I think it's over-the-top enough already!

We have some easy breezy colors for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #410! 
Usually any time I see a green in our color mix, I start going through flower combos to pull out, but today I decided to go a little more abstract!  I LOVE the Conversation Bubbles bundle, and I definitely need to pull it out more!  I got it to show more dialogue on all my critter sets, but today I used it for the main event, too - I put together a fun little collage of a few of the bubbles in the dies, and it makes me smile big time!  I'm really liking these colors together!
I can't wait to see what YOU make of these cuties - meet you at the challenge!
