I'd say that this week's Fusion Pinwheels challenge has us all dialed in, lol. What a cool sketch! I actually had a couple different ideas for this one, but in the end, my penchant for mixing up the shapes won, lol. My brain: oo, you could do tie dye circles in the colors, oo, or the rays of light, that would be totally cool, HEY, check out how close in size the leaf in the ladybugs set is, no, no, TIE DYE, but if you did leaves you could do the LADYBUGS in the colors, that would be funny, and you'd get to fussy cut those leaves, but TIE DYE, but, but... Well, you get the idea, lol. Ladybugs it is! My proportions were a little off, but that was solved by turning the sketch! Good times!

Start your engines! It's time for another speed challenge at this week's As You See It #283, and we're making it Fall with a pumpkin theme! Since I don't seem to have any CURRENT pumpkins (how did that happen??) I took a look through the retired sets. I have lots of great choices, but then I thought about this row of leering pumpkin heads and couldn't resist. The More the Merrier is from 2009, among my oldest stamp sets! This seemed simple enough that I could get it together and still have time to color, so that's what I did. I assembled all my toys and started the clock! Even with stamp-a-ma-jigging, I came in at a good time - 8 minutes and 23 seconds - woo! Maybe I should have fussy cut something, lol... I can't wait to see YOUR speedy projects - meet you there!

Critters, here we come! Now, SOS was very specific that they wanted to see their critter "doing something human," lol, so I had to hunt for just the right image! Lucky for me, This Birthday Piggy was ready to go, AND, I even had the new dies to go with (make sure you check out Perfect Partners!) This little cutie scooting along on his Poppy moped was just the thing, lol. I added a touch of DSP for an accent, and some twine leftover from some Paper Pumpkin, AND the tiny Pool Party Epoxy Dots, also from a past Pumpkin. This baby is stash-happy!

I am SO super excited to guest design at The Male Room #166 this month! We're playing song titles this round! So, I had to dig pretty deep to find something - argh! I finally took a pass through some old Paper Pumpkin Sets, and found the July 2020 set Summer Nights, which had this little cutie! Yes, we're going with the Debby Boone version we all know and love! "You give me hooooope, to carry on!" I was cracking up the whole time I made this one, lol. I pulled this pretty evening sky sheet from my retired New Horizons pack, and heat embossed a few spotlights in white for my fireflies. I popped up the sentiment on a Tailor Made Tag, and added some yellow twine to match those little firefly butts. I think this will be hubby's birthday card this year! I hope you can join in the fun over at the challenge - I can't wait to see what YOU come up with!

I couldn't help focusing on that gorgeous sunflower for this one - though I did flirt with the fox, lol. In the end, I went back to my Painted Harvest set from 2020 - you just can't beat the sentiments in this one for Fall! I decided to pull in some scraps of our now-retired Rings of Love DSP - this acorn sheet is SO pretty, and I did a little embossing with my newly-arrived Leaf Fall embossing folder - a little hard to see! I'm really pleased with how it came out - this is still one of my favorite sunflowers! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this round - meet you there!

Such an interesting challenge The Sisterhood of Crafters has for us this round - "frame it!" Imagine my surprise when I opened my just-arrived Snowman Magic dies just to take a look, and I found this awesome new snowflake frame! SO perfect! I kept the card pretty simple, floating this lovely "magical" sentiment right in the middle, and then finishing with this pert little snowman in the corner. These dies are so well designed! All the little pieces are included, and these arms even had a little "tab" for gluing them to the back of my snow-body! Awesome! I finished with a few Starry Sky Matte Dots to carry the theme. I love it!

Such gorgeous Fall colors we have to share with you all this week at Sunday Stamps #291! I decided to go back to my old Thoughtful Branches bundle for this one - I so love building the trees with this one! I did a couple grassy knolls, and then added my tree trunks in Espresso, finishing with a full spread of Fall colors for all the leaves! We don't get colors like this very much where I am in Arizona, lol, so it's nice to reminisce! I pop-dotted a few highlighted leaves for extra dimension, and threw on some Rustic Dots to finish - just enough! I can't wait to see YOUR Fall colors on this one! Meet you at the challenge!

This challenge is perfectly times for me, because I JUST received my Artistic Mix Decorative Masks this weekend and I really wanted to try them out! Since Helen on the DT beat me to the pretty plaid, I went for these chevron shapes - perfectly spaced for layering! I did some background shapes in Daffodil Delight, than added the Poppy Parade detail. I played with placing them at an angle, and also doing just a layered "patch" of color - such a cool effect! I piled on a bold black sentiment from our just-retired Amazing Phrasing to finish it off - just right!

Lol, so many fun possibilities for this week's Addicted to CAS #227 "pink" challenge - woo! For me, when I looked over my possible "pink" sets, the one that jumped out was This Birthday Piggy! Of COURSE a little piggy would be perfect in pink! I went with this little sleepyhead and made sure to bring on the pink - I don't think I've stamped this one before! What's even cuter about this one is the inside sentiment: "Go to your happy place and stay there all day!" Adorable! I snuck in a few Polished Pink Opal Rounds to finish things off - hopefully I have enough white space left to still qualify as CAS!

It's time to kick off our new theme at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #140 - this month we'd like you to keep it CAS - clean and simple! I went with my pretty Mistletoe Magic set for this one - such perfect simple stems for a CAS look! I admit, I'm a little foo-foo with the pretty bow, and a few Opal Rounds, but still plenty of white space, I think! I am really liking this Soft Succulent and Merry Merlot combo - I think we really haven't used Merry Merlot enough in our SU! pantheon...
