Check it out! Hand Stamped Sentiments #349 has some spooky inspiration for us this week! I couldn't help but focus on that saucy skeleton in the corner - any chance to pull out my old Mr. Funny Bones set! I was pretty straightforward today, piecing him together giving us a wave - or rather, a "high" five, yuk, yuk. This set has a few punny sentiments in it - I don't think I've ever used this one, lol. Had to give him a little Spider Trinket buddy, too - so glad I got my decorations up already! Mr. Funny Bones Stamp Set (retired 2016); Whisper White, Smoky Slate & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black (on envelope) & Versamark Inks; White EP; Striped Metallic Ribbon; Back Baker's Twine; Spider Trinket (retired); Clear Elegant Faceted Gems; #HSS349.

Oh wow, this week's Library Challenge #69, What to Look For in Autumn, looks like a gorgeously illustrated vintage book! Here in Arizona, we can only dream of Fall these days! This stunning book cover is the perfect chance to bring out my carefully hoarded (and perhaps a bit too well stocked, lol) retired Painted Seasons DSP from 2019. This paper was why I bought this pack to begin with (OK, THREE packs, shhh...) I love the colors, the leaves and toadstools - all a perfect backdrop for my little red squirrel! A quick sentiment from Banner Year completes my scene of gratitude. I might need a drive up to the rim soon...

Excellent! It's sketch time again here at Fab Friday #199! I felt like having a color-fest today, so OF COURSE my Rainbow Glimmer got to come out to play! I'm not sure why, but this paper always reminds me of the cutesie Hippo Happiness set, lol. Can't you just see rainbow hippos out having a party? I can, but maybe that's the Bailey's talking, you never know, lol. Anyway, a quick and cheery rainbow card is just what the stamp doctor ordered today - almost as good as chickens! So what will YOU create? I hope you're ready to come be fabulous with us! Hippo Happiness Stamp Set; Whisper White & Rainbow Glimmer CS; Magenta Madness, Mango Melody, Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay & Blackberry Bliss Ink; White Gel Pen; Hippo & Friends Dies; #FabFri199.

I really couldn't resist going back to my Mixed Drinks set from 2018 - so many little fun pieces for building just the cocktail you're dreaming of - and perfect for a one-layer card, lol. I can't seem to stay away from tropical treats these days, so I went with two big foo-foo drinks, complete with fruit, umbrella, and a little ice, lol. Such a cutie, and I exercised an iron will to keep it super CAS - whew! Mixed Drinks Stamp Set (retired 2018); Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Mango Melody & Bermuda Bay Inks; #LIM429.

I have been collecting as many stitched dies as I can find like a fury, lol. Love them so much! I always forget I have these in the cuties that come from the Tasteful Labels set - the ones that bundle with Tasteful Textures, and that gorgeous In Good Taste DSP. For whatever reason, I don't use the dies as much, even this cute little stitched banner! Pfft! I matched it today with a couple pretty stems from Forever Fern, and the pretty "Hello" from that set. I floated everything over this gorgeous planking sheet from the DSP pack - just love the whole finished rustic look!

We have a spooky theme going as well, so let's just go hunting to see how much of my old Monster Bash Suite I can find, lol. Stamp set? Check! DSP? Check! Dies? Check! Embellies? Check, check! I really went all out on this one, lol. I had enough scraps to piece together our sketch, and then I pulled in my fave image from this set, the scary jars. I felt like this dare of a sentiment was perfect! I can't wait to see YOUR creations - come be spooky with us!

I'm heading to the vault for one of my fave champagne sentiments, from Balloon Celebrations! This set was so awesome, with the fun balloon punch, but for me, it was really all about the mix and match drink sentiments! Tea? Coffee? Hot chocolate? Yes, please! I also matched it with my fave champagne flutes from Making Spirits Bright - I can hear the little "clink" now!

I sure hope you can play along! With colors like these, I knew I wanted to go Fall, and I'm still not over Love of Leaves yet, lol. But how about a snazzy plaid backdrop? Oh yeah, I can bury a lot of colors there! I'm getting better at assembling my plaid now, too - Snail is saving my bacon on this one, I'm not all over glue for the first time on this one! So what will YOU color up for us this week? I can't wait to see your creations, over at the challenge!

Well, something I DO start doing this time of year is looking for chances to start building up my holiday tag stockpile, lol, excellent! For some reason, I've been wanting to play with our retired Smitten Mittens set a lot lately, too, so I'm just going to all-out indulge myself here! I stamped this gorgeous mitten with the cutest sentiment ever on the fold, in four holiday colors. I went ahead and hand-trimmed these so I could keep that little smidge of fold at the top where I wanted. I put a little "To/From" on the inside, hung a little twine on a corner, then finished with a simple ribbon tie along the top to help hide that fold! Quick and simple, but super cute - these are going to really dress up some pretty presents this year! Smitten Mittens Stamp Set (retired 2017); Whisper White CS; Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce & Old Olive Inks; White Baker's Twine; Playful Pets Trim; Shaded Spruce Cotton Ribbon; 1/8" Circle Punch; #TSOCABAC.

With such a lovely open sketch, I couldn't resist going in the direction of showing off some pretty DSP - and I haven't used the gorgeous Forever Greenery in a bit! I had just enough of my favorite sheet to add a little bit to the card front and envelope, leaving plenty of space for some extra leafy images and this sweet sentiment. A few Gilded Gems finishes it all off! Quick and pretty, just how we like 'em around here!
