What a great idea - SU Only #222 has a "celebrations" challenge this week - any celebration we can think of! I think I'll combine with Fusion's Butterfly Wreath combo, too! Time to party! I decided to go with Picture Perfect Birthday for my "celebration" theme - I LOVE this sentiment so much! All the fonts in this set are so fun! In the end, I stuck with just the sketch from Fusion - I think I might be a bit butterflied out, lol. I kept my colors bright, sort of like the DSP that we used to have when this set was first released - this is another retiring set, sigh, so it's good to bid a fond farewell, too! Picture Perfect Birthday Stamp Set; Whisper White, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Lemon Lime Twist & Berry Burst Inks; Stitched Shaped Framelits; Scattered Sequins DEF; Silver Sequins; #SUO222; #FusionButterflyWreath.

It's Fab time! We have a super cute sketch for you this week at Fab Friday #163 - yay for banners! For today's card, I really wanted to play with the new-to-me Little Twinkle stamp set. It's a bit embarrassing, I only just got this bundle (there's a fabulous crescent moon and stars punch, too!) last week, because they're carrying over to our new catty (new catties IN THE HOUSE, peeps!) but they won't be bundled anymore, so I figured I'd better jump on that bundle discount while I still can. I started with just the awesome DSP for this set - love the colors - and somehow I just never got around to picking up the stamps and punch it was made for, lol. Don't ask me, I really don't get why this stuff happens this way, lol. Now that I have the set, I totally love it! So what do you have for us this week? I can't wait to see YOUR creations over at the challenge! Little Twinkle Stamp Set; Twinkle Twinkle DSP; Whisper White & Night of Navy CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Smoky Slate, Soft Sea Foam & Pool Party Blends Markers; Banner Triple Punch; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #FabFri163.

Wow, look at this gorgeous new collection cover from The Library Challenge #32's All Creatures Great and Small challenge - now that is some seriously gorgeous countryside! Since this cover is such a beautiful study in greens, I decided to make my own with the arty Seize the Day set. This has such dramatic silhouette images, with amazing gradation in the stamps from our Dist-ink-tive stamp style. So retro looking! I used all three image stamps to create a little overlook scene, and finished with some leafy details. It's a different look for me, but I like it! Seize the Day Stamp Set; Whisper White & Tranquil Tide CS; Lemon Lime Twist, Garden Green, Old Olive, Tranquil Tide & Basic Black Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Old Olive Glitter Dots; #TLC32.

As I browsed for a stamp set to use, I realized I really wanted to take out Lift Me Up for a spin - this is another retiring set that I will be keeping around on the retired shelves for a while! How to pass up a sunny stripey hot air balloon?? So, no shaker this round for me, but I really did try to keep it as clean as possible - no sparklies today, lol! Lift Me Up Stamp Set; Whisper White, Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green, Coastal Cabana & Gorgeous Grape CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Smoky Slate Inks; Up & Away Thinlits; #AAA139.

Let's stretch together! I REALLY wanted to add in our technique challenge this time, too, so I opted for some masked stenciling to stick with a one-layer card - my nemesis! Today I'm showing off Flourishing Phrases, one of our carrying over sets - but next year it will be in the new cling format - yay! I stuck with my old fave color combo stand-by of purple and green, and gave in on a few Glitter Dots to finish - too fun! So, I can't wait to see what YOU create! See you over at the challenge!

OK, so I really ran through all my (many!!) flower sets looking for a something for these colors. Then I got to thinking how thirsty these colors were making me feel, and I was ding! ding! ding! - what about Bubble Over?? These are PERFECT colors for all kinds of sweet and fruity drinks, complete with bendy straws! I did a quick trio with every color combo, added some bright straws, and some dewy droplets to the cold glass bottles - cherry lemonade anyone? This is another set that will be retiring, sigh - it's been so fun for all kinds of summery cards for me - I think this one will have a steady home on the shelves of retirement for many years, lol...

What's not to love about our big scallop shape at this week's Sunday Stamps #204?? What does it make you think of? For me, I started thinking along the lines of a background-type stamp I could use for the shape, behind some bold picture elements on top. Our Best Birds set fit the bill perfectly - I love this linen-y background element, just right for setting off the lovely branch and birdie! I chose an anniversary sentiment for this one, getting low on those, and tried for simple but realistic coloring. Who's a handsome man? Lol. This is another set that's retiring this year, I've found it to be so versatile, I'll miss it a lot! Best Birds Stamp Set; Crumb Cake, Early Espresso & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Soft Sea Foam & Cajun Craze Inks; Aqua-painter; Birds & Blooms Thinlits; #SSC204.

Happy birthday to me, for sure! Since it's MY birthday, I indulged in all the things I like best, lol: dots, purple and green, and glimmer dots! I even added Highland Heather - natch! Not sure it all hangs together that well, but I'm enjoying it - sometimes, you just gotta be dotty, lol. I figure it's hard to go wrong with this fun sentiment from Amazing Life - I will definitely be saying YES to cake today!

Goodness, the Sisterhood of Crafters got a giggle out of me! I of course had to run straight to my old Best of Cluck set - YES! Since we're already past Easter, I was trying to think of a way to follow the theme and have it NOT be an Easter card - bunch of chicks to the rescue! So fun to pair these cuties up with my new fave, Mango Melody, and to color all my little fuzzies with our Blends - looks so much smoother than the markers did (though that was adorable, too, lol.) And see, they tracked all over the card trying to get lined up for their picture! Sigh...

Well, Hand Stamped Sentiments #313 sure has a whimsical inspiration pic for us this week! There's even a unicorn horn! With so much to choose from on this inspiration board, I settled on the bulletin boards in the lower right corner - they look like something I'd have here in my own craft room, lol. After some fiddling, I settled on a card front modelled on the catty corner flowers, with a big die-cut sentiment like the one also on the board. I did everything over our Wood Textures DSP for the background, and did my flowers from our still-available First Frost set - it's not just for Christmas!! I went digging through my retired thinlits for the sentiment - remember this one from the Label Card set? Too cute!
