 Wow, In{k}spire Me #454 is celebrating a BIG milestone - 1o years! - with a birthday theme! I'll have to go through old challenges to pick something good - all the way back to #300!! I decided I HAD to play with the Party Puffins today - I played with them at Sarah's July Retreat last week, but not for the blog yet! And these guys were MADE to party, lol. They even have a hat, snicker. Anyway, super cute little puffins, SO easy to color, and lots of fun birthday party sentiments to choose from - perfect! Party Puffins Stamp Set; Pattern Party DSP; Basic White & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Bermuda Bay, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie & Real Red Blends Markers; Coastal Cabana Glitter Enamel Dots; #IM454.

 Another great combo at this week's Fusion "lemon-hydrangea" combo - such pretty colors! I decided to stick to the sketch, but try to pull in the colors a little, too. I knew right away I wanted a big flower in my lower left corner, and quickly realized that the gorgeous Artistically Inked has a perfect one! I went with the soft Fresh Freesia, added a Daffodil center, and a few leaves in Soft Succulent - quickly becoming one of my favorite greens! I added my sentiment, and felt like I needed just a touch of bling, so out came our super sweet Bumblebee Trinkets. I love sneaking in a little bee, lol! Simple and quick! Artistically Inked Stamp Set; Basic White & So Saffron CS; Fresh Freesia, Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Blackberry Bliss Ink; Bumblebee Trinkets; #FusionLemonHydrangea.   Pumpkin Club July 31!

Oh goodie - Retro Rubber #163 is back with a new tic-tac-toe for us! So fun! After my usual dithering, lol, I went with the center horizontal: embossing - green - wood. I had a little flash that could combine the wood and embossing into one element by using one of my woody embossing folders! After that I just needed to find something likely for the "green" category. Flowering Desert is perfect - an appropriate, too, as we're finally getting the monsoon we deserve this year here in Arizona! You should see how plump my saguaro is getting, lol. Fussy-cutting a crazy cactus is one of my favorite things to do, so I built this beauty and went to work. Such a fun project today!

Another fun challenge this week from Addicted to CAS #202 - "geometric!" I can't help but think of our fun shapes dies when I think of geometrics, and my fave set is STILL Stitched Shapes, lol, I don't care if they ARE retired! I had some fun cutting these out, taking "bites" and slipping in new colors, then piecing it all together on dimensionals on the card front. Maybe not enough white space, but still clean and simple in my book! Let the happy dots rule! Peaceful Moments Stamp Set; Basic White, Pool Party, Coastal Cabana, Crumb Cake & Old Olive CS; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Rhinestone Basic Jewels; Polka Dots Basics EF (on envelope); #ATC202.

We're flying our stampin' flags at this week's Try Stampin' on Tuesday #517! I couldn't resist another new set today - here's a peek at Nuts About Squirrels! Now, I don't know about you, but this set's images reminded me SO MUCH of Miss Suzy for some reason - does anyone else out there remember that book? All I need are the little tin soldiers and we're all set! Anyway, I had some fun with some Fall colors today, and got to try out our new Matte Decorative Dots - love them!

LOVE this week's "hungry" challenge from Time Out Challenges #192! I couldn't help but return to my super-cute What's Cookin' set for this one - I love it! The dies are so fun - I went for a salad theme today, lol, slicing up all my veggies for those dancing bowls in the background! The cutting board is my fave die, I think - I can't keep myself from using it every time! Ok, off for a snack now...

I'm seeing double in our sketch this week at Sunday Stamps#262! What a great chance to pull out my gorgeous Tidings & Trimmings suite again! I wanted to try more of the pretty papers, and this time I have room for the larger star! For all it's so fancy, they really are rich country colors - yum! I pulled this cute sentiment from Bright Baubles to fit the sketch better, and it goes so well with the sparkly star! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our sketch - meet you there!

Love the geometrics of this landscape sketch at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #368! This ended up being such a fun sketch to play with! I still see the words "any shape" over that circle, lol, but I DID put a circle BEHIND my little racing polar bear, lol. I tried to NOT make a Christmas card here, I think it worked! I took my colors from this pretty DSP, and just went on from there - these two are going places, I can tell!

Gosh, I hope I have something for this challenge - Cardz 4 Guys #275 is doing a "key" challenge! OK, I went digging and found a little leftovers pack of Bird Ballad Trinkets - there were keys in that! That reminded me that the DSP that went with had a "key" sheet, so I pulled that out, too. Hm, lots of green - what sentiment could go with that?? Eventually I ran down my Spooktacular Bash Set from 2019 - it has that "open" sentiment, which I thought went with keys, lol. So this turned out to be a Halloween card - who knew?? Such a fun treasure hunt! Spooktacular Bash Stamp Set (retired 2019); Bird Ballad DSP (retired); Basic White, Smoky Slate & Basic Gray CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Brick & Mortar EF; Ornate Frames Dies; Black Baker's Twine; Black Matte Dots; #C4G275.

Wow, what a party color combo we have at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #523! Since I'm at Sarah's crafting retreat this weekend, I decided to browse HER stamps for this one - so fun to try on each others' stuff, right? When I spotted All Squared Away, I decided to give it a try - so many fun patterns! This is a really good one for a bright color challenge! Such party colors, I went for a birthday card - I love mixed fonts in a sentiment! I'm all geometrics today so I added a nice fuzzy circle to break up all the angles, lol. I even had some glitter dots to finish things off!
