Veggie Happiness (& Pumpkin Club May 30!)

This is cool - Inspire Create Challenge #069 is asking us to be inspired by a really cute project - fun!
I decided what was most catching my eye was the bright contrast of colors, so I decided to do a play on that.  And of course, another fun set for those colors is our retiring Garden Goodness!  Tomatoes, pepper, even the avocado is just right for them, lol.  In my own garden, I'm bringing in a handful of tomatoes every day now, so glad I did all different kinds!  Anyway, I tried to make a play on the blocky layout, too, and I'm really happy with the look!  If you don't have it yet, make sure you get your avocado before it's gone, lol!

Cup of Tea

We have some pretty pastels at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #339 this week!
Seeing these colors made me think of the sweet tea parties for two I used to have with my grandmother when I was little - she spoiled me so much!  She used to collect all different china tea cups, and I'd get to pick which one I wanted to use that day.  She had one that had pretty flowers in just these colors that was her favorite, while I usually went for the little strawberries, lol.  We'd always have little cucumber sandwiches, and strawberries with a little dish of powdered sugar, maybe a soft-boiled egg with little buttered toast strips or Garibaldi biscuits, ah, the memories just go on and on.  Miss you so much, Grams!  Love IS a warm cup of tea!

I love our giant tag shape on this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #458 sketch!
And that big old tag sent me straight to our super cute Bonanza Buddies - the dies for this one are amazing, and include a perfect stitched tag!  I added all teh bells and whistles today - banners, twine, a fancy party hat, and the only guy chill enough to handle all this was the adorable little koala - he's so calm!  I really brought the color today, too - a little more sunshine cheer, please!
I can't wait to see YOUR pretty projects this round - see you at the challenge!

Vanilla Aloha

OK, this one is going to be oh so elegant, but tough, lol - I'm talking about this week's Less is More #419's white and cream challenge!
I'm taking this one even more ultra-minimalist than usual (for me, lol) and also doing NO STAMPING!  I seriously can still count on one hand the number of times I've done this, and I think most of them have been for Less is More, now that I think about it, lol.  Anyway, today's cream and white card is all about the Aloha!  I went with just dies in Vanilla to float over my Whisper White, and once I spotted this big pineapple, I couldn't pick anything else, lol.  Yes, I'm still missing my Hawaii!

What's not to love about our rich purples and reds at this week's Sunday Stamps #231?  Perfect for Memorial Day!
Another retiring set this year is the gorgeous Beautiful Bouquet bundle - and its matching Bouquet Bunch dies are also amazing!  I personally have slowed way down on flower sets over the years, but this one hit all the right criteria to grab my attention:  varied and gorgeous flowers, varied and sweet sentiments to go with, amazing dies that add even more flexibility to the stamps!  This set just had it all (images AND sentiments together is starting to be something I really watch for in most of my stamp purchases!)  I loved that you could mix and match the flowers, in whatever color schemes you wanted, and that there seemed like there was a sentiment for just about ANY occasion.  Sigh, I'll miss this one, sniffle.
I can't wait to see YOUR amazing projects with our bright colors!  See You at the challenge!
Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set; So Very Vellum DSP; Whisper White, Old Olive & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Poppy Parade, Blushing Bride & Gorgeous Grape Inks; Bouquet Bunch & All Dressed Up Dies; Peaceful Poppies Sequins; #SSC231.

Now here's some super fun layers to play with at this week's As You See It #225!
When I first started thinking about how to tackle this sketch, I started wondering if I could play with the shapes a little - could I change it up and still honor the sketch?  Browsing the stamp sets, Believe You Can leapt right out at me - this one coordinated with the Stitched Nested Labels dies - now THOSE are some fun shapes!  I decided to give it a try!  I started with my gorgeous Woven Threads DSP to set my colors, and did some creative customizing with my Rectangle Stitched dies to pull together the details.  I love how it came out!

Trust Retro Rubber #134 to bring in a May flowers theme for us - perfect!  I have some great oldies for this one!
Hands down, my fave has got to be 2009's Soft Summer.  Despite the name, I still think of dogwoods as a Spring "flower" - it's a tree AND a flower, lol.  We had these growing all along the bottom of our yard where I grew up, and I loved to go lay under them, and peek out through at the street in front - a wonderland!

This is a sweet challenge this month - CAS Christmas is looking for "winter berries!"  Lovely!
My best current berries are the ones included in the gorgeous Toile Christmas set, AND there's a die!  Yes!  I kept this as CAS as I could, a simple sprig over a debossed White field, with this lovely Christmas banner, too.  I even found my last three Cherry Cobbler Candy Dots to berry things up a tiny bit more!

Now that we're in a new month, it's time again for our new Joy of Sets Tic Tac Toe #017!  Yay!
I had a hard time choosing a row for this one!  I finally settled on the top one - Birthday, CAS and Green.  Then I decided to pull in my Ride With Me set - so sad this one is retiring, but happy to see that the truck looks just as cute in green as in red, lol.  I kept it simple for the CAS brief, but couldn't resist a few green stars to go with, too.  So fun!

We have such a sweet banded sketch for you this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #457!  And I think we can add the feminine touch for this week's "women" challenge at SU Only #249!
As soon as I saw our "woman" theme at SUO, I knew I was going to work in our Dressed to Impress suite!  I honestly never usually go for the girlie stuff, but I have LOVED this one!  Great images, perfect sentiments for them, dies, DSP - it just has it all, lol, like every woman should!
I can't wait to see what you do with our challenges this round - see you at the blogs!
