 Very cute - Shopping Our Stash #510 is called "splish, splash," because they want us to use a water medium! Fun! It just so happens that I recently rediscovered my old Pigment Sprinkles Watercolor Crystals in a drawer, digging for something else of course, lol. It occurred to me they would be perfect for this challenge, so I dusted them off and gave it a go! I chose the little Granny Apple Green vial, and saturated a piece of Watercolor Paper to sprinkle on. So much fun to watch the color bloom! I swirled around a bit with my Water Painters and then heat set, because I'm not patient enough to let something AIR DRY, lol. This is also a fun way to chase water beads across the paper for added streakiness - love this look! I cut a panel from this for my background, and went with last year's Spruced Up set to finish with some holiday details. I feel like I mixed up ALL the greens for this one! Spruced Up Stamp Set (retired 2022); Merry Bold & Bright DSP; Basic White & Watercolor Paper CS; Lemon Lime Twist & Real Red Inks; Granny Apple Green Pigment Sprinkles; Spruced Up Outlines (retired) & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Pretty Peacock Tinsel Gems; #SOS510.

 Now here's a party - AAA Birthday #55 would like us to use a LARGE sentiment this month! I still have a little collection of older stamps that I'm babysitting before they move on to new homes - in them is 2014's You're Wonderful set - perfect! The set features this big beautiful "wonderful" with some banners, and you can mix and match the sentiments to add in! I went straight for this birthday combo, and I love it! I'm not sure I ever got this one, I think it's one of SU!'s early photopolymers, but it's sure sweet! It looks even sweeter over this gorgeous sheet of DSP from the Masterfully Made pack! You're Wonderful Stamp Set (retired 2014); Masterfully Made DSP; Basic White & Fresh Freesia CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Fresh Freesia & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; Fresh Freesia Tinsel Gems; #AAAB55.   We have such a wide-open sketch for you all this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #428! This is our last challenge of the year, too, so make sure to jump on it! This sketch just cries out for some gorgeous DSP to show off, so I couldn't resist pulling in a sheet of our beautiful O Holy Night pack - love all the starry sky and desert landscapes in this one so much! I matched it with last year's (but still current!) Hope & Peace stamp set - so many great sentiments in this one! I think this is the one I've used the most, too, lol. I added a few of our old Adhesive-Backed Stars for a bit more sparkle, too - still love the shape of these! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our lovely sketch - meet you at the challenge! Hope & Peace Stamp Set; O Holy Night DSP; Basic White & Copper Clay CS; Night of Navy Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies (retired); Adhesive-Backed Stars (retired); #HSS428.   I'm excited to play again at my new find, Farm Quest! This time, I'm sliding over to their sister blog, Farm Quest General Store #10, since I didn't have quite enough time to make the regular challenge blog! Time to feature a farm animal! I once again dipped into my hoarded Day At The Farm DSP, and this time actually pulled out my On The Farm stamp set that goes with it! I had some fun coloring up this pretty cow, and a fancy barn for her background - definitely a Good Day! I love the bright clear colors on this DSP, just how I think of the country! On The Farm Stamp Set (retired 2023); Day At The Farm DSP; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler, Smoky Slate, Pebbled Path & SU1000 Blends Markers; Linen Thread; Bumblebee Matte Decorative Dots (retired); #FQGS10.   We have some fun festive colors for you this round at Sunday Stamps #323! With these muted colors, I decided to finally pull out my Shop The Town set, lol. I actually bought this in reflex because it goes along with the Let's Go Shopping suite, which I already had. I've always had a little fascination with buildings in stamp sets! But this one had me stumped - I have to admit, there are definitely some stamps in this one I'm not sure how I'll use - it might take me some time to decipher! For today, I went with that pretty outdoor tree, and doctored up the arch to be taller to go over it. And I had to have the carolers, too - of course! I also love this sentiment! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our cozy Christmas colors - meet you at the challenge! Shop The Town Stamp Set; Basic White & Cherry Cobbler CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; SU900, Cherry Cobbler, Shaded Spruce, Pecan Pie & Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Silver Pearls; #SSC323.   This should be interesting - For If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #186, the color is white this month! Yikes! I decided to combine white with some sparkle, and created this lovely glittery scene with the glorious Forever Forest dies! I finally got to use that pretty mountain line, which was the big reason I wanted this set in the first place, lol. I set my snowy mountains along the bottom, then tucked in and added some beautiful firs cut from Dazzling Diamond Glimmer Paper - what a job! I'm really loving the look, and I added this sentiment from Above It All to go with, along with a few tiny silver pearls. Pretty! Forever Forest & Above It All Stamp Sets; Basic White & Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Forever Forest Dies; Silver Pearls; #Cookie186.   I really like the theme at this month's The Male Room #180 - feathers! I know I have some cool ones! I thought at first I'd pull something from my Shelves of Retirement for this one, but then I remembered - aren't there some flies in the Gone Fishing suite? Those have feathers, right? Score! I pulled this fun sheet FULL of flies (the good kind, lol) for my background, and stamped up this larger one to add as an accent to my sentiment. I even gave it a little silver flash, and completed the scene with a hungry trout on the prowl! A few tiny first-run Misty Moonlight enamel dots finish things off! Not too bad! Gone Fishing Stamp Set; Let's Go Fishing DSP; Very Vanilla, Misty Moonlight & Silver Foil CS; Misty Moonlight & Pebbled Path Inks; Gone Fishing & Nested Essentials Dies; Misty Moonlight Enamel Dots (retired); #TMR180.

I'm super excited to show off some new goodies at this month's NBUS #56! I number one new stamp set I couldn't WAIT to get my hands on in this latest Online Exclusive release was the Simply Sparkling bundle - it's fabulous! Who knew there were so many adorable ways to dress up a soda can?? Besides the sweet sentiments, and fruity details, the dies are thoughtfully designed to allow you to cut metallic details for the can top and bottom - nifty! I kicked off with this refreshing orange soda - I stamped my can over the bubbly sheet from the Stargazing DSP pack, and added a "fizz-tastic" label and silver details. I even did some big bubbles in the background! Zesty!

So happy to be back again for the second "add a hat" post at Christmas Craft Creations! I just love this theme! For today's hat card, I decided to go for some well-dressed snow people, lol, and there's no cuter than in our lovely Snowman Magic set from last year! So many choices! I put together a lovely snow-couple finally, I just can't resist that fashionable "Breakfast at Tiffany's" number she has, and of course, her date had to be maximum dapper with a top hat! I floated them over some flocked Snowflake Vellum, to set the scene, and then added this pretty snowflake frame you can make with the dies - I think this is their Christmas portrait! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with hats - see you at the challenge!

Time for another tic-tac-toe at this round's Retro Rubber #220! As soon as I saw the "snowman" square, I knew I wanted to do one of the rows that would include THAT, lol, so I chose the center column of snowman-pattern paper-tag! I was so excited to pull out my favorite snowman set of all time, 2009's Snow Buddies! I LOVE the delicate line art in these cuties! Since it doesn't have sentiments, I paired it with this fun one from last year's Framed & Festive - looks perfect on my Tailor Made Tag! I chose this snowy sheet from my old Storybook Gnomes DSP pack, which set the colors in the blue range - so pretty for snowmen, lol.
