Fabulous At Any Age

We're having a critter fest at this week's SU Only #200 - eek!  Let the cuteness commence!
So, as I checked out my shelves for critters (and kicked myself over not having Hedge Hugs yet, sigh) I found my Foxy Friends set all the way at the end - why have I not been using this set still??  I even still have the DSP!!  So I had a fun day putting together this little guy!  I decided to make a couple trees that are also in the set, and perch him on his cute tree stump - so glad we have Mossy Meadow back for good trees!  I also finally made a punch template to keep with the set, so I could stamp and punch all the pieces at once.  No clue what took me so long there - I've made a couple punch templates his week...

Plant Hope

So excited that Retro Rubber #87 has such a fun sketch this week - time to play!
A browse of the Shelves of Retirement pulled me to 2010's Plant Hope, which I have hung on to all this time for this quote by Lucy Larcom, one of the founders of the still-extant Rushlight Magazine.  And the little bonsai'd tree image, which I didn't end up using today, lol.  Turns out this set goes awesome with our new Nature's Poem DSP, a perfect set for Lucy!  I have a feeling I'll be using this paper a LOT this year - I keep finding new things to pair it with!  I got to pull out a few other coordinating accessories, too - a new twine collection, and of course the Faceted Dots.  I can't have too many Blackberry Bliss toys, lol.

Accented Tuesday

Looky, looky, it's Tuesday already!  And that means it's time for Try Stampin' on Tuesday #367's pretty sketch!
I started my adventure by thinking about how I could play with the shapes here.  I wasn't feeling like a hexagon so much today, lol, but hey, what about our awesome Tailored Tag punch?  Which just happens to have a new upcoming (only 2 more days!!) gorgeous stamp set called Accented Blooms??  Which I also happen to have???  Yeah, I'm sold, lol.  I threw in the deeply colored and pearlized Share What You Love DSP, too - the background is one of my faves, and turned the sketch landscape so I'd have room for my wider punch shape.  I'm really liking how it came out, even though you can't really see the silver thread.  Maybe I should have done the black, sigh.  Anyway, I'll see YOU at the challenge - what will you create?

Stampin' Manly Moments

We're trying something a little new over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday today - just in time to kick off June, we're doing a little "man card" blog hop for you to enjoy!  I've repeated the links list below, so you can hop along and celebrate the guys with us!
For mine, I decided to show off an alternative card for the latest Paper Pumpkin kit - Manly Moments.  How could I not go for it with a title like that??  I ruthlessly scavenged some parts from the kit to make this new set of layers on my own card base, and used some of the leavings to create a stencil for my envelope front (even manly cards can't have naked envelopes, lol.)  I added some old Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon, and some old dark gray sequins to go with the touches of silver from the kit.  Pretty, but manly, too, lol.  The Pumpkin lives!  Now hop along to Sara for some more dude-ness!

Merry Monday #291 sure has a yummy challenge this week - add some sugarplums!  I'm SO in!
I almost featured a dancing Santa twirling his sugar canes, but in the end, I couldn't resist going back to the 2016 Candy Cane Christmas.  This was such a tasty suite!  I think I've finally used all my trinkets from it, but I still have the gorgeous sugarplum filled DSP, and a bit of our peppermint twine.  I used the sentiment from the stamp set, and decided to fussy cut my Christmas cookies from a few DSP scraps - I don't fussy cut DSP too often, but I have to admit, I was drooling a little when I got the end of these, lol.  Sometimes I could fall off the no-sugar wagon like THAT!

Woo hoo!  What Will You Stamp #169 is all about one of my fave sets from the Occasions catty - Bubble Over!
Today I decided to just all-out indulge myself in unrestrained bubble-iciousness and pull out all my bubble toys - that is, all the fun SAB items we got this past year that coordinate so well, lol.  I pulled out my Bubbles & Fizz DSP to get the colors going, and started by stamping out both sizes of bottles in the most refreshing colors, complete with labels!  I laid these over my fave bubbly sheet, stamped my sentiment on some sunny yellow, and added a quick bow in the gorgeous Bermuda Bay shimmer ribbon, another SAB goody.  Bring on summer - we're ready!

Our fearless Fab leader has a scary pink color challenge for us over at Fab Friday #138 - yikes!  Lucky for me, As You See It #176 has a wonderful mosaic sketch for us that I think will be perfect for it!
My original plan here was to do some kind of DSP mosaic, I'll be honest.  But then my eye came across this scrap of the upcoming Graceful Glass Designer Vellum that my dear friend Nancy gave me - SHE got it as a sample when she was at our last On Stage event - who doesn't love convention??  Anyway, it's been sitting out on my desk for a few weeks now, while I tried to think of something cool to do with it.  That bolt of lightning struck today!  I think this vellum is probably best colored with our Blends markers, but I did a super careful job with our regular markers, since that's where I had all the challenge colors, lol.  I colored on the BACK, and layered it over some Whisper White for pop and smudge protection.  So fun - can't wait to get a full pack!
Short & Sweet Stamp Set (retired 2007); Graceful Glass Designer Vellum; Whisper White & Powder Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Melon Mambo, Flirty Flamingo & Powder Pink Markers; Flirty Flamingo Enamel Dots (I think these came from a Paper Pumpkin!); #FabFri138; #AYSI176.

TGIF #160 has an awesome challenge this week - all about wood!  What a great idea, we have so many options for this these days!
I actually started with my cardstocks today - I knew I wanted to go with woody browns, so I tried a combo of Early Espresso, Crumb Cake & Sahara Sand.  I ended up with the Crumb Cake base, so I didn't have to use an inside panel.  From there, I wanted to use a background stamp, and I went with Tree Rings, which I think looks even cooler when you pick some random logs with the Blender Pen!  From there I pulled in Ribbon of Courage, and added a few wood elements embellies, and over a Wood Textures DSP, of course, lol.  I definitely think I was all things wood today!

Love this layout at In{k}spire Me #351 - like the sun coming out!
I think this sketch finally gives me enough scope to roll out another one of my preview sets - so excited about this suite!  The gorgeous Rooted in Nature suite includes stamps, framelits, DSP, twine and embellies - the whole nine yards!  I love these gorgeous trees and leaves especially because the stamp set also includes sentiments (yay!) and has comprehensive framelits to boot!  I have a brand new go-to tree set (sorry, Lovely as a Tree, lol.)  Another debut with today's card is the rockin' return of Blackberry Bliss - yummy!  SO glad to have such an expanded purple line!  Enjoy it, stampers!

Check out our fun sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #366!  Bringin' on the ovals!
I really wanted to try and hit our bonus theme this round, too - cause I almost never do, lol.  What could I do for "critter crazy??"  Hey, how about some piggies??  Yay!  One of the piggies that I almost never use in this set is the one with wings, and I decided to feature her soaring through some clouds, right where she belongs!  These fun clouds are from the Myths & Magic DSP collection - so many fun sheets in that one!  I had some fun coloring her in and then I decided she wanted some extra elevation, so she's fussy cut and floating over her Stitched Oval.  Such a good time!  I can't wait to see YOUR creations over at the challenge - fly on by!
