Nice - as a follow up to their "wildlife" theme last round, Cardz 4 Guyz #297 is doing "on the water" next! Perfect! I couldn't resist pulling out Let's Set Sail - I haven't nearly done all the color combos for sail boats on my mind yet, lol. Today I floated my boat (yuk, yuk) over an Oceanfront background - a real study in blues! Surprisingly, I have better luck starting at the top when I'm building the scene - it really helps me level things off for the bottom. I love how it came out - this background set is perfectly designed! Let's Set Sail & Oceanfront Stamp Sets; Basic White & Night of Navy CS; Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Basic Gray, Mossy Meadow, Night of Navy & Pacific Point Inks; Sailboat Builder Punch; #C4G297.

Oh gosh, look at that little pink mortarboard, lol. How perfect is this themed cupcake for this week's Cupcake Inspirations #545?? So, I spotted a super cute grad card out in the blogosphere a couple weeks ago, of a critter with a grad hat on, and I thought, oh, that's genius! If I have to make any graduation cards, I'm totally trying that! Well, today is that day, lol. I pulled out my old Pure Gumption set that retired in 2013 - it had the hat I needed AND a cute sentiment to go with! Looking over my extensive critter collection, I decided a puffin would fit perfectly underneath, lol, so I did up this simple cutie in our local school's colors. Quick, fun, and adorable! Party Puffins & Pure Gumption (retired 2013) Stamp Sets; Basic White, Merry Merlot (you didn't see me start to type Bravo Burgundy by mistake, did you? You didn't see anything... Sorry, channeling penguins because PUFFINS) & Basic Gray CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mango Melody & Daffodil Delight Blends; White Gel Pen; Classic Matte Dots; #CIC545.

I decided to look through some of my new DSP packs for stripes - check out these beauties from Sun Prints! This is the pack that goes with Nature's Prints, so I decided to continue the theme, and ink up another stem, lol. This fern frond is so elegant! I tried to keep things fairly CAS, but that's so hard when I pull in a DSP - sometimes all our awesome coordination can be a curse, too, 'cause it makes me want to play with ALL the toys, all the time!

We have some great '70's Retro colors to play with at Retro Rubber #184, and I'll be adding some flowers for SU Only #303, too! I started today's combo by pulling likely colors first - I landed on Crushed Curry, Old Olive, Poppy Parade, Cajun Craze and Early Espresso. With those in hand I went shopping on the retired shelves for my retired set. I finally landed on 2020's Varied Vases as a great for mixing and matching all these colors! It was fun to match stems to vases while keeping the colors mixed! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week, too - meet you there!

I couldn't resist pulling out my Lots of Pun Paper Pumpkin set from December 2021 - still cute, and still hilarious! I had to go with this little zinger for my sentiment today, so I used the little frown-y faces on my cherries, lol. I crack myself up! I was also excited to break out our new DSP stack patterns today too - aren't these Poppy Parade dots the best??

Oo, this looks fun - Festive Friday #110 has a great inspo list for us to celebrate National Best Friends Day! With such an awesome list to choose from, I was able to squeeze in even MORE than three items, lol. What fun! I totally haven't given our soon-to-retire Garden Green house enough love, so here's my big chance, lol. How about pink greenery? I actually love how it came out, and all my choices helped me cover: feminine, pink, sparkle, friendship sentiment, patterned paper and ribbon. Whew! And I know just who I'm sending it to, too, lol.

Wow, here's a pretty combo - check out those colorful plates at Fusion's Rainbow Plates challenge! I had to pull out some cute paper for this one - I wanted to make my BACKGROUND be rainbow-esque, and save the calm solids for the details. This is a little backwards to my usual style! Anyway, I've also been wanting to use this "your way" sentiment for a while - this is the one I got this set for, of course, lol. I was bummed to see Happy & Heartfelt is retiring - I will definitely be keeping it around a while!

We are running a "beverages" challenge today at As You See It #276! Drinks on us! I actually have all too many "drink" sets to choose from - what does that say??? Lol, not too much, I hope. One of my all-time favorites sets is this one, Mixed Drinks, from 2018. All the different glasses just slay me! And the garnishes - foo foo drink city! Gotta love it. I decided to pull out all the drinkware styles, in all the likely shades I could think of - and not necessarily alcoholic, lol. Mm, somehow I'm all parched now!

What a fabulous theme this week at Make My Monday #175 - fruits or vegetables! Yum! I've been reminded recently, a few times, about our wonderful (and retired!) Berry Blessings set. I couldn't resist pulling it out myself at last for today's challenge! I went all blackberry today, and had some good fussy-cutting time! I so loved the SAB papers we had at the time of this set, and I had just the sheet to show off still - purple and green forever! Lol...

Yes! It's time for our monthly Sparkles Christmas Challenge #137 - and we want to see some holiday critters! I actually still have my beloved Penguin Place still on my current shelves - this cutie is supposed to carry over to our upcoming Holiday Mini catty, so I decided he should just stay put for the off-season, lol. This is a picture of him patiently waiting for the new season to open, all snug in his cap and scarf! He'll be back to his usual antics soon - pre-order opens today! Woot woot! I can't wait to see YOUR cute critters - I love them all so much! Meet you at the challenge!
