 Another fun challenge from CAS on Friday #164 - animals! A set I haven't used much is our new hostess set, Time For Tags - we have an awesome punch for all the tag shapes included in this set! I even had my choice of animals - there's a little "for you" birdie, too, lol. Anyway, this giraffe (well, AND the pineapple, lol) are the whole reason I got this set, and, as is typical of me, I haven't used either one yet, sigh. But today is the day! I kep it pretty CAS - naked card base, a simple popped-up tag, and well, I decided to add a little bunting with our Scalloped Linen Trim - love this Purple Posy color - I'm hearing rumors that the stamp pad will be here soon! Time For Tags Stamp Set; Purple Posy & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Purple Posy, So Saffron & Crumb Cake Blends Markers; Large Polka Dots EF (retired); Timeless Label Punch; Scalloped Linen Trim in Purple Posy; #CASOF164.

 We have a fun inspiration pic and a cute sketch this week at Fusion - "Coffee!" I couldn't resist doing another Halloween card this week - I've been eyeing my retired Merry Cafe set all week, lol. Must be all the Pumpkin Spice Latte in the air these days, I guess, lol. Anyway, I did a little update by using this year's Monster Bash DSP, and a few of our Monster Bash Enamel Shapes - love it! I even snuck in a tiny little skull from the Monster Bash stamp set for the stopper! Yum! OK, time to go huff my new Pumpkin Vanilla candle from Trader Joe's - gotta get my fix somehow! Merry Cafe (retired 2017) & Monster Bash Stamp Sets; Monster Bash DSP; Very Vanilla, Basic Black, Smoky Slate & Pumpkin Pie CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Coffee Cup Dies; Monster Bash Enamel Shapes; Scallop Edge Border Punch (retired); #FusionCoffee.   Oh gosh, the DT at The Male Room #120 sure make this challenge look easy - to use embellishments - I hope I can still keep it manly and do the same! I tend to accrue a lot of little bits and bobs that don't get used up in classes, so nowadays I have a whole drawer with an "embellishments" label on it - it was kinda fun to paw through it, lol. And looky what I found - True Gentleman Buttons - perfect! I think I'm feeling very polka dotty this week, so I kept it focused on little circles, in hopefully manly colors. Too fun! Itty Bitty Birthdays Stamp Set; Whisper White, Pacific Point, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Pool Party CS; Pacific Point Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies; True Gentleman Buttons (retired); 1/2" Circle Punch; Polka Dot Basics EF (retired); #TMR120.   Woo hoo! We have a blue-ribbon sketch for you today at Fab Friday #173! And what better colors than these bright lovelies at Inspire Create Challenge #052?? Yum! With colors like these, it was hard to resist running straight to Birthday Goodness - so I didn't, lol.This yummy tower of macarons is in Gorgeous Grape today - with some lovely Mambo blossoms and a bit of sparkle - just how the perfect macaron should be! So, will you share YOUR FABulous projects with us? I can't wait to see, over at the challenge!

I remembered this triumphant pose from our Enjoy Life set, and decided to make a city scape for her to pose against with my trusty old Calling All Heroes set from 2014. I even added a few points of light with some tiny silver sequins! What a fun little card - it went together super quick, even with the fussy cutting!

CAS Christmas is running a holiday treats challenge this month - let's bake! When I think holiday treats, I just can't help but go back to last year's Nothing Sweeter set - and I wish I could bake pretty cookies as well as I can stamp them, lol. LOVE this set still, and I added all the bells and whistles this time with the stitching details, and sparkly white shimmer "frosting," lol. Wish we'd had this when the set first came out! I covered up my drool marks with a few white sequins - hope it's still CAS enough now, lol...

I think we've been framed at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #427 this week! We also had a secondary challenge of Coffee, Tea, or Another Warm Beverage this week, so I of course ran straight to Cup of Christmas, lol. This time, I wanted to try one of the cute cup "overlays" in the die set - this poinsettia has a a real WOW effect! I went crazy peppermint with my Let It Snow DSP, too - I can't seem to get enough of this DSP, still! So, what will YOU come up with for us this week? I can't wait to see YOUR creations over at the challenge!

Oooo, good one this week at As You See It #209 - use our go-to die or punch! So for me, that is hands down the Stitched Shapes Dies - I literally use these babies every single day! I've snuck in a Stitched Rectangle, too - these guys are starting to see a lot of game time, too, lol. I'm excited to finally ink up my adorable You Always Deliver set - I think this might be our homage to UPS, but today I've colored him for the good old Postal Service. This set has so many cute little "packages," and equally sweet sentiments to go with. I love it!

We have a wide-open landscape sketch for you at Sunday Stamps #214, perfect for some pretty scenery! This seemed like just the chance to finally ink up the gorgeous Bloom & Grow set that's been cooling off on my desk for a couple months now. I've been so distracted by the holiday catty, lol, but I am delighted with this set! I've been taking a strong stand on flower sets this year, as I've mentioned before, and this set checks all the boxes to make the cut: gorgeous images, check. Varied sentiments, check, in a fun font, double check. And DIES, yeah-baby-check! I've been all about Christmas so much lately, I decided to go with some soft pastels for my first take on it, and also kept it fairly simple. A little fold of Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon is my only extra! SO, what will YOU do with our sketch this week? Come join us! Bloom & Grow Stamp Set; So Saffron, Soft Sea Foam & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Soft Sea Foam, So Saffron, Mango Melody & Calypso Coral Blends Markers; Budding Blooms Dies; Pear Pizzazz Shimmer Ribbon; #SSC214.

I LOVE this week's sketch at In{k}spire Me #401 - it almost looks like it could take flight, doesn't it?? Instead I decided this was finally just the sketch to debut my delightful Merry Moose set - eee! He comes with a few trees - I stamped and stamped off a couple for his little woodland scene, and he even has a little forest buddy (who apparently does NOT get a wardrobe, lol.) I dressed my big guy up in his snazzy scarf, and added his signature sentiment, of course, although this set has four other great ones to go with as well! Too fun - and can you tell that the Let It Snow DSP is my fave this year? Can't get enough of the sparkle, lol.
