Halloween Hi

Woo hoo!  Time for another "anything goes" challenge over at Retro Rubber #144!
Today, I finally settled on 2009's The More the Merrier.  I almost always go for the cute snow-dudes in this one, or the fancy cupcakes, but these cute jack o' lanterns leapt out at me this time!  Just started watching my seasonal round of Halloween shows yesterday on Food Network, and I kind of have pumpkin on the brain, now!  I felt like fussy cutting, too, so I colored them all in, did the deed, and floated them all over a layer of Basic Black - they're jumping off the card!  Such a fun Halloween warm-up, ahh, it's almost spooky time!

It's all about the banner this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #477!  I can't wait to match it up with our bright colors at SU Only #259, too!
I'm super psyched that our secondary theme at TSOT this week was coloring, because I had a BLAST water-painting my little ocean scene!  Our lovely bright colors at SUO made me think of the ocean and tropics, and I just couldn't resist a little dream of a Maui escape, lol.  Still on my mind, and this right here is one of my favorite activities - loafing hard, island style!  Gettin' the toes wet, enjoying the view, with a frosty fruity drink beside me - ahhhhh! 
Can't wait - one day!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects, too - meet you at the challenges!

In{k}spired Pear

Oo, very fun combo this week at In{k}spire Me #430!  Check out those gorgeous colors!
I decided to try and tackle both sides of the challenge today - these colors are just too sweet together, and the layout too fun!  I started browsing for a likely focal shape, and landed on the beautiful pear in See the Good.  I love using sponge daubers to add that extra edge of color to these images!  Bonus point is that there's a long skinny sentiment in the set, too - score!  It's not quite as skinny as i could have hoped, so I added a circle behind the pear to punch it up a bit, and didn't center the sentiment, so I could show off more of the pear, lol.  I actually love the finished look!  A few sequins and I am DONE!

Fusion Cactus

Ooo, LOVE that cake - I want it!  I'm so tickled by the inspiration pic half of this week's Fusion Cactus Cake challenge - adorable!
I decided to try for a color range like the sketch, but stick a cactus on there, too, from my beloved Flowering Desert set that retired last year.  I don't fussy cut my build-your-own-cacti very often, but I'm always amazed by the look when I do!  So simple, yet cute and unexpected, with the pinks and greens together!  I couldn't resist adding just a few pink rhinestones, too, lol.

Yum, loving these gorgeous Fall colors this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #348!
I decided to take a little peek over the shelves for something that hasn't been out to play for a bit, and Special Someone was the winner!  I felt like the two "browns" were perfect for a couple critters hanging out together, lol.  I set up my little scene in the corner in Black, then went back and stamped in all my two-steps stamped off, for a slightly more muted color look.  At the last second, I found some ancient retired Mint Macaron Enamel Dots to add as well - perfect and sweet!

We have a cool and lovely color challenge for you this week at Fab Friday #198!
Looking at these colors myself, I was reminded of oceans and sand, shells and water, lol.  I haven't had Seaside Notions out in a while so i decided to go for it - don't want to get out of practice on fussy cutting this little seahorse, lol.  Anyway, I've kept it a little sparse, but stuck tight to my palette, even added a few Seaside Spray sequins.
  Love, and I'm ready for some sand between my toes!
I can't wait to see what YOU create - meet you at the challenge!

Lol, I knew it had to happen sooner or later!  The Library Challenge #68 is bringing us The Cat in the Hat!
Alas, I have no cats in hats stamps, but how iconic is this cover??  I decided to pull out some precious retired Tempting Turquoise, and make a nice striped side bar for my fave CITH quote!  Our gorgeous Playful Alphabet dies set was just right, and I got to make one of my rare stamp-free cards, lol.  I even pieced on some stripes for the envelope, lol.  You know, I think this is my first INK-free card, too!  What a fun project!  So many happy memories of reading this to my daughter!

Now here's my kind of color challenge - Less is More #428 is having a shades of purple color challenge!
I considered purple pears for a bit, but really, how could I not go for the full purple spectrum I could get with my Nothing's Better Than set?  A cute purple drink with a sweet little coordinating umbrella is just my speed today, lol.  Actually, make it THREE, lol.  The two-step stamps, the perfect dies, it's all just PERFECT, really - still LOVING this set!  I did a triple stack of my "cocktails" die, even the little dot on the "i!"  That's love, baby.

I think we're bubbling over this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #476!  Don't forget we're also pairing up with Double Trouble's "Off the edge" technique challenge!
When I looked at these layered circles, I knew I needed to keep in mind our extra challenge - and I think our big gorgeous sunflower can stand up to running "off the edge!"  I added some Just Jade DSP from our Flowers For Every Season pack, and went to town with my big cheery blooms!  Fun, and pretty quick, too, with our amazing dies for this set!  Yay!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our team up this Tuesday!  See you there!

Very fun - time for another recipe at As You See It #234!  These are really starting to grow on me!
I've noticed something I've been doing with these, is I try to combine some of the recipe elements.  Like for "butterfly,"  I immediately thought, oh if I use Butterfly Gala, I can use that punch - two down!  And would circles be cute in DSP?  How about the pretty flowers in Ornate Garden for the butterflies to play?  Two more down!  And Peaceful Moments has my favorite fonts for Birthdays - recipe complete!  What a blast!
