 So pretty - In{k}spire Me #515 has such a great combo for us this round - Fall colors AND a cool sketch! After lots of dithering, I finally got through it with this card. I'm afraid I strayed farther than I usually do, lol. It happens sometimes when an order of new stamps comes in - I get all distracted by my new toys! The first thing to go was the colors - I just really wanted to make a Christmas card today! I'm also not sure about my design, but I swear I started with the sketch! My pretty "Joyous" tag turned out larger than I thought, lol, so I just rolled with it. I did figure out how to bring the bow from the twine wrap up through the tag hole - I love how that worked out! I finished with a few Pretty Peacock sequins that I think look more like Shaded Spruce - shhh...

 What a beautiful theme at AAA Cards #249 this round - skies, galaxies and planets! I have just the thing! So, I thought at first I was going to trot out my beloved Reach For The Stars suite, but then I finally got a chance to sort through my new O Holy Night DSP - WOW! There are several sheets of gorgeous starry papers, so I switched it up at the last second! I hope I have enough white space here, but I hated to cut that gorgeous DSP down anymore than this, lol. I floated a lovely holiday sentiment over it from the coordinating Night Divine set, and finished with a few tiny rhinestones. Just love it all! Night Divine Stamp Set; O Holy Night DSP; Basic White CS; Night of Navy Ink; Layering Ovals Dies (retired); Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #AAA249.   What a great idea! Cardz 4 Guyz #331 has a "stars" theme going this round! You KNOW I had to run straight to my beloved Greatest Journey set, with its fabulous Enjoy The Journey DSP! This is just the perfect sentiment! I made a big chunky mountain to float over a stunning starry sky backdrop, so of course, that's the cardstock and ink I used, too - Starry Sky! I crack myself up sometimes, lol. Anyway, I added a pretty crescent moon, and doctored up a Deckled Rectangle for the sentiment, and finished with some tiny Orchid Oasis Matte Dots. At the last second, I slipped a paper glue dot behind the lantern, and then just didn't peel it, to make it look like the lantern was really lit! Sigh, still one of my all-time favorite suites ever! Greatest Journey Stamp Set (retired 2023); Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Starry Sky CS; Starry Sky Ink; Greatest Journey (retired) & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Orchid Oasis Matte Dots; #C4G331.

This looks like a fun one - Cupcake Inspirations #578 wants us to include plaid! After rummaging through my retired DSP bin for my Plaid Tidings pack, I also went for a browse through that vintage stamp collection I'm hosting for a bit, lol. I decided to pull out Turkey Talk from 2002 for this one! Such a cute collection, and not a style of images I usually gravitate towards, lol. I went with this cute Thanksgiving sentiment, and this robust cornucopia image - so fun to pull out all my Blends to color it up! In the end, I decided to fussy cut it, too, for a little added oomph! I finished with a few Fine Sparkle Gems that I thought could go with! I think this set might be growing on me, lol.

It's tic-tac-toe time again at this round's Retro Rubber #216! I had to study this one for a while, lol. Fortunately, I just came into a stash of vintage SU! stuff that I'll be re-homing, and my adventures sorting through it all yielded some real gems! I ended up going with patterned paper-your choice-circles, with my choice being Christmas! I couldn't resist when I spotted this DSP from way back when I FIRST started with SU! So much nostalgia! I pulled out two circle sheets from the Dashing DSP pack from 2006, and did up a simple layered layout. 2006's Circle of Friendship seemed a natural fit, so I layered that up a bit, too, and gave it a little ribbon sash, lol. Quick, cute and fun, just how I remember, lol. I can't wait to see how YOU play our game this round - meet you at the challenge! Circle of Friendship Stamp Set (retired 2006); Dashing DSP (retired); Very Vanilla & Real Red CS; Real Red Ink; 1 1/4" & 1 1/2" Circle Punches; Faux Linen Ribbon in Real Red; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #RRCB216.

For this round at Make My Monday #210, we'd like you to create your own background! What does that mean to you?? To me, that meant to stamp my own "DSP!" I WISH we had some pretty kiwi paper, lol, but we don't, so I made my own! I randomly stamped a few full kiwi slices around, and filled in with the wedges. I also did some of the speckled background included with the set in the white spaces, stamping off twice so I didn't distract from my juicy fruits! I floated the appropriate sentiment over it all, and finished with a few Matte Black Dots. So juicy! I can't wait to see YOUR backgrounds this rounds - meet you at the challenge!

Love this - Time Out Challenges #247 has a wonderful camping inspiration pic for us this round! I so love this pretty lakeside scene, and it triggered a memory for me of something I have with a rowboat - a quick search and out came 2021's By The Dock! I had to really dig to build this scene so that I could fit in all the elements I wanted, and I actually had to rethink it twice, lol - not something I do too often! Eventually I landed on this water scene, with the dock, of course, and our little boat tied up, and a bit of soggy shoreline, too. I think this is the one!

Christmas Craft Creations has a Metallics challenge for September! I think I still have yesterday's brights on the brain, because I immediately thought of the new foils I got with the Merry Bold & Bright suite! The foils have sheets of both Melon Mambo AND Granny Apple Green! This gave me a chance to play more with a few of the Merry & Bright elements I haven't had out yet, too. I thought the filament die was super cute to add to my foil bulbs, and I tried the stamped strand this time - so cute! I couldn't resist the "fun" sentiment, this was so fun to play with!

Perfect - we have a lovely layered sketch this round at As You See It #308! All these layers made me think of some bright and bold DSP, so I naturally turned to my Merry Bold & Bright pack, lol. I am loving pairing this with the Festive & Fun critter set, too! Today I went with my pudding-bearing moose and the little beaver - the last two I haven't stamped yet! So much fun to color! I had to shift my sentiment upwards a bit so I could still show off those awesome moose antlers, but it's all good, lol. This card makes me smile so much!

Yeah, baby, Shopping Our Stash #505 wants us to "shakes things up!" Woo hoo! I had some fun with this one, and it actually has quite a few items I've had sitting around! Somehow, I never really used my bottle shaker domes much, but I NEVER used the stash of Effervescent Elements I got to go with them, lol. Today's the day! I started with a full card front of the beautiful Waves of the Ocean DSP - I still love this stuff so much! I set up my shaker very carefully - I pre-punched where my dome would go and had to stamp my bottle color through the layers - very exciting, lol. I added a few more bottles to round out the colors, and then carefully dropped some "bubbles in my dome, and a tiny scrap of rolled up Pool Party DSP scrap - with a quick love note on the inside that no one will ever see, lol. I'm so happy with this cutie, but sorry the dome doesn't photograph too well!
