So pretty - Time Out Challenges #173 has a gorgeous and fresh inspiration for us this week - so many details to choose from!
In the end, I couldn't resist that lovely white-over-woodgrain look, and I pulled out this lovely retired medallion for my shape - love it so much!  I added a tiny bit of greenery with my Sprig Punch, but otherwise, fairly uncomplicated, for such a big impact!

Hm, looks like they'll be going on a break for a while, but Inspire Create Challenge #80 has one last inspiration challenge for us before they go - yay!
I've decided to treat the inspiration as a sketch - such a cute layout!  And I'm super excited to trot out my brand new Dragonfly Garden suite - a sneak preview we get for our upcoming On Stage convention!  Love all the elements in this suite:  a lovely stamp set with punch, gorgeous DSP, and twine and embellies that I didn't even use yet!  Woo hoo!  This set will be available in our upcoming Spring Mini catalog in January, but I'm stoked to take it for an early spin!
Enjoy your break, ICC!

Fall Fest

So fun - Retro Rubber #146 has a "scary color" challenge for us this week - so glad I can go back through my oldies for this one!
I finally settled on my fave pumpkins in Fall Fest from 2014.  These faces have so much character!  I did them up in three different "oranges" and blackened the stems with a marker to stay with the color challenge of Black, White and Orange.  They all get to float over a spooky embossed Woodland, and yell out "Boo!" from our Playful Alphabet.  I even have a great sentiment on the inside, from the ancient Jack O' Lantern Fun, which I couldn't even FIND on Splitcoast, but says 1999 on the labels - yikes!

Oo, I have another chance to make something spooky, for In{k}spire Me #432!
After dithering a bit, I decided to crank out some Takeout Treats, from the retired bundle of 2018 - it did NOT stick around long enough!  Yes, we will be "handing" out treats this year, I have a whole one-way pick-up and self-serve line planned out for the tiny kiddos on our street, so I needed to make some cute little single-serving packaging that they can snag - so fun!  Fortunately, this set has the Halloween sentiment ready to go, and I have plenty of retired spooky DSP to use up, too.  We'll have a folding chair viewing station off to the side for us, too, so we can see the ghoulie cuties while we sip our adult beverages, lol.  Glad to be able to add some spook for our neighborhood!

So many layering opportunities this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #480 - and perfect for pulling in our Fall theme at SU Only #261, too!
I couldn't resist pulling out my scraps of the rapidly dwindling Gilded Autumn DSP pack for some fun Fall colors - I can't get enough of these little leaves!I chose some stripes to anchor the bottom of the sketch, and two scraps of my next favorites for my feature panels.  I snuck in some ribbon, some embossing, some tiny punched leaves - whew!  This is where Fall is at!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations, too - meet you at the challenges!

Wow, VERY dramatic combo over at this week's Fusion "Purple Night" challenge!
I'm such a purple fiend, I knew I needed to work that in, so when I gave both sides of the "fusion" a go, I did these pretty purple DSP stripes on one edge.  I was pleased to be able to bring out my Woodland embossing folder, too - it hasn't been out in quite a while!  Then I decided a sparkly silver moon was what was missing, lol.  Scrappy AND fun!

Hand Stamped Sunflowers

I love this festive layout at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #350!
BUT, I'm veering off Christmas today, lol.  I just couldn't stop seeing a lovely big sunflower up there, with stems and leaves sprouting from the bottom!  I did a standard-sized card, too - I'm such a rebel!  I think Im finally starting to hit on the secret to successfully coloring in larger images with blends - go lighter, not darker!  This allows much more detail to shine through, and doesn't look all blotchy and over-saturated, as I've produced before, sigh.  It kept this sunflower cheer, at least!

Where the Crawdads Sing

Now here's a humbling choice, lol - The Library Challenge #70 is giving us our pick of paperbacks this round!
I decided to go for Where the Crawdads Sing - great book, and lovely cover!  My usual trick of trying to recreate the image into a card was super fun!  I used sponge brayers to lay down Calypso Coral and Purple Posy inks for my background, then added a little bit of water interest to the Posy using the High Tide stamp set.  The trees were next in Black, from Rooted in Nature, and I finished with this simple layered holiday sentiment from Peace & Joy.  At the last second I decided to add a few Calypso sequins, too.  No cross-hairs, lol, though I don't think that's actually on the cover!

Yay!  We have a spooky color combo for you this week at Fab Friday #200 - hope you can join us for our big milestone!
With these fun colors, how could I NOT go Halloween?  I decided to pull out some dancing skeleton faves from my past Paper Pumpkins!  The skeletons and bones are from last year's Bone Appetit in September, and the sentiment is from way back in 2014 - September's Boo-tiful Bags. - A spooky combo for sure!  I decided to create my own background by playing with our colors, and topping it all off with the "BOO!"  I even had some glitter dots and twine in Garden Green - excellent!  I sure hope you can play along with us - see you at the challenge!

Wow, check out the amazing quote we're supposed to use for inspiration this month at The Male Room #143!
I immediately went hunting for good clock stamp, and I am STUNNED that I don't have one - how did that happen??  I did have this awesome time-related sentiment in last year's Cuckoo For You set, though, so I pulled that to go with my beautiful leaves from Love of Leaves.  I can't get enough of these guys, the extra stitch lines are so cool!  Anyway, I tried to keep it fairly low-key for a guy, maybe I blew it when I threw on my Elegant Faceted Gems at the end, lol.  But they're manly gems!
