Arctic Bears

Woo hoo!  So excited that we're finally back at Retro Rubber #198!  For our opening round we'd like to see your retro winter themes!
After a browse through my Winter sets I settled on Arctic Bears from 2021- I haven't used these cuties in at least that long!  I kept it pretty basic today - that big polar bear is too majestic to fuss with too much!  I started with setting his scene in Navy, and then smudging the ink a bit with a Blender Pen.  I popped up my bear in Basic Gray, and gave him some birds and the sentiment in the same color.  In the end, I couldn't resist a few of our new Milky Dots in Navy to go with - so excited to have more neutral embellies this year!
I can't wait to see YOUR Retro Winter projects - meet you at the challenge!

I'm super excited about CAS on Friday #248's challenge this round - it's insects!
I'm excited because I've been looking for a challenge I could play 2017's Beetles & Bugs on - I picked up this set from a friend who was doing some de-stashing - I didn't have anything else like it!  I combined it with Hello Ladybug, so I could use that fabulous (if perhaps slightly obvious, lol) sentiment, too!  It was fun to make my bugs all pretty in Pool Party and Granny Apple Green, I think they're super cute!

Pajama Day

Too funny - Shopping Our Stash #487 is celebrating Pajama Day!  We're supposed to make a card inspired by our favorites, lol...
THIS time, I really had to hunt through my drawers for some jammies I thought I could CASE, lol.  I finally found these cuties at the bottom of a drawer I haven't looked in for ages - I forgot I had these!  I thought they could be a fun one to reproduce, and I went with the Color & Contour set to do it!  I stamped all my stems and flowers in Melon Mambo to start my background sheet, then filled in with Mango Melody - what a vibrant combo!  I think now I should have mixed in more Melon Mambo, but I do love how it came out!  I floated everything over Pear Pizzazz for the ribbons, and finished with a strand of Melon Mambo twine a few matching Solid Faceted Gems.  What a fun project!  I included a shot of my pajamas below, lol.

Aw, here's a sweet one - Time Out Challenges #229 wants to get romantic!
I decided to take a humorous route and pulled out my Tech Support set - I don't use it enough!  It has this little search window of "romantic" searches, so I ran with it!  I did some random keys in the background, with some emoticon hearts, and floated my sentiment over all that.  A few tiny Resin Hearts finish things off!  I think it's geekie-cute, lol.

We have a fun left-justified sketch for you this week at As You See It #290!
I was thrilled with all that open space to play in - how to tackle the layout today?  I decided to check the DSP first, and came across the Happy Forest Friends pack, which I have BARELY touched, sigh.  These little scraps hardly count, either, lol, but it gave me my colors to get started with, and stuck with Mossy Meadow and White, with pops of Melon Mambo.  I also recently came across my Meadows dies that have been idle too long - LOVE these stems!  And I had a good time shortening this pretty sentiment die by taking a "bite" off the longer end and running through twice!  Glad to get my SAB Sending Support set inked up, too!
I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun sketch this round - meet you at the challenge!

What a great way to kick off the year!  Make My Monday #191 would like us to show off something new!
I have just the thing, too, lol!  I was looking for an excuse to ink up my pretty Something Fancy set, which you can also get bundled a gorgeous array of dies!  At last, new and perfect sentiment tag shapes, with plenty of options for dressing up or down!  I kept things simple for a quick sympathy card, which I think looks calm and elegant with this sheet from the Sun Prints DSP pack.  I still had some Faux Suede Trim in Early Espresso, so I did my ink and other details in that, and finished with some Brushed Metallic Dots.  I know I'll be using these new dies a lot!

Sweet Birthday Cherries

Excellent - AAA Birthday #45 is an "anything goes" challenge - great place for me to start, lol!
Another set I haven't used nearly enough of is Sweetest Cherries!  I really don't understand how that is, when there's such a cute builder punch for it, too!  I spent some time stamping up this fun hatched background in Granny Apple Green, and my cherries really pop against it!  I also decided to fussy cut the big "sweet" sentiment - I hadn't even used it yet!  Anyway, I smiled my way through this whole creation process - cherries are just so happy!

We have a fresh new color challenge for you at this round's Hand Stamped Sentiments #405!
I decided to take a sharp turn AWAY from all the holiday merry-making today, lol, and went for something a little tropical! Paradise Palms hasn't gotten any ink for a bit now, and I have NOT used this pretty frond die enough!  I kept it fairly CAS, with three simple fronds in our colors, a bright splash for the sentiment, and a few of the new Milky Dots in Petal Pink.  Since I don't use pinks too often, I figured this was my chance to break into those!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects in these fun colors - meet you at the challenge!

A new month, a new chance to play at this month's NBUS #46!  I have quite a few new goodies to choose from, too!
I decided to go with the new and awesome Taco Fiesta set today - it needed some ink to get warmed up!  I focused on the cute chilis this round, and used the tiny one to make a background pattern, while I gave the bigger one un lindo bigote!  (That's a cute mustache, to you, lol!)  I floated my pair of hot chilis on a pretty heart, but I think I should have gone up one more size so it would show better, hm...  And I snuck in a little sombrero on my sentiment - love it!

We have a super sweet sketch for you this week at Sunday Stamps #300!
I decided to really go wild, and turn the sketch, lol, so I could show off another new bundle, On the Ocean!  I paired it up with our retired Waves of the Ocean DSP - so dramatic!  I did a high seas kind of background, and did some extra waves with the gorgeous dies in a contrasting color, then floated my sailing ship over it all!  All that ocean called for the sentiment I chose, lol, because it looks like a rough sailing day, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our lovely sketch - meet you there!
