EEE! Time Out Challenge #262 has the CUTEST photo inspiration for this round - look at all those Disney dogs! This pic SO reminded me of our wonderful Pampered Pets suite from 2022 - I so loved everything about it! I still have a little bit of everything from it, too, so I pulled out all my goodies for this one! I started with a great background from one of the doggy DSP sheets in the Playful Pets pack (there are awesome cat sheets, too, lol) and then added a few supplemental dogs from another sheet while I was at it! Based on the cute bag, I pulled some scraps from my old Plaid Tidings DSP pack, too, for a little trim, and the envelope. Finally, I couldn't resist a little dog bone trinket to finish things off - the perfect doggy treat! Pampered Pets Stamp Set (retired 2022); Playful Pets & Plaid Tidings DSP (both retired); Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pets & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Black Baker's Twine; Playful Pets Trinkets (retired); #TOC262.

Very cool - Shopping Our Stash #520 is called "mamma mia!" We need a card for Mother's Day or another special woman! I'm so thrilled that I have a super sweet step-mother that I get to send cards to, now, lol, and I was just tickled thinking about her while I made this card! Welcoming Window is definitely an under-used set in my collection, but I still love it! So many fun things we can set in the cutest window, and so I have lots of flowers for Karen! Pretty greens and yellow, with Boho Blue trim on the cool window - love it! A few butterflies add just the right finishing touch! I can't wait to send this to her! Welcoming Window Stamp Set; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Crumb Cake, Boho Blue, Pool Party, Copper Clay, Granny Apple Green & Crushed Curry Inks; Window Flower Box & Stylish Shapes Dies; Brushed Brass Butterflies; #SOS520.

So peaceful - AAA Colorful #3 is back with a new color board for us - like a gorgeous sky! The pretty color board made me think of our new Under the Moon set, so I used that "water" stamp from that to make my background - I love how it came out! I chose Pool Party, Lemon Lolly and Petal Pink to carry it off then went hunting for a good sentiment to finish with. It's been so long since I stamped with the Courage & Faith set, I knew right away I wanted to ink this beauty up! I finished with a few Petal Pink gems, keeping it super simple! Fun! Under the Moon and Courage & Faith Stamp Sets; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Lemon Lolly & Petal Pink Inks; Petal Pink Solid Faceted Gems; #AAAC3. We want to see some ribbon or twine this month at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #160! A festive set I haven't used in a while is the yummy Sweet Candy Canes - I even still have some of the DSP! I definitely wanted to do TWO canes, and I wanted them to contrast with the background, so I planned my choices accordingly, lol. I went with this dotty Real Red background, and some fancy green and blue canes - so pretty! I added a big red bow front and center, and finished with some Silver Sparkle Gems - just the right touch! I can't wait to see YOUR projects this round - meet you at the challenge! Sweet Candy Cane Stamp Set (retired 2022); Sweetest Christmas DSP (retired); Basic White & Pool Party CS; Real Red & Garden Green Inks; Candy Cane & Tasteful Labels Dies (both retired); Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon; Silver Sparkle Gemsl #SCC160. I'm LOVING our layered landscape sketch this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #437! Today I felt like building a little beach scene using our super fun Beach Day bundle - I am so thrilled by the adorable images in this one! Let's me get my coloring on, too, lol. Anyway, I went hunting for some likely DSP scraps for the bottom detail of the sketch, then went to town with my life guard shack and surf board. I finally got to build the little palm tree from the dies, too - my fave palm tree so far, I swear, lol. I couldn't resist finishing with some Whale of a Time Sequins, too - those little seashells are perfect! I can't wait to see YOUR beautiful creations for this one, too - meet you at the challenge! Beach Day Stamp Set; Bright & Beautiful DSP; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Basic Black, Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Summer Splash & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Beach Day & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Whale of a Time Sequins (retired); #HSS437. A new challenge this month from The Male Room #185 - embossing! Now, I've been looking for a chance to use a new embossing folder I acquired - I just had to have it after seeing it out in blog-land! I don't do this very often, but I actually ventured outside of the Mother Ship for this one - it's called Cast Away, from Spellbinders (shhh!) It's GIGANTIC, lol, just like a couple of our own newest folders coming out in the new Annual catty - I could get used to this! Anyway, It seemed a perfect match with our retiring Waves of Inspiration bundle - the netting adds such a nautical detail! I kept it pretty simple with the posing pelican and this gorgeous sentiment - love it! Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set; Misty Moonlight DSP; Basic White, Misty Moonlight & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso Ink; Blender Pen; Daffodil Delight & Gray Granite Blends Markers; Spellbinder Cast Away 3D EF; Waves Dies; Rustic Metallic Dots; #TMR185. We're a little askew this round at Sunday Stamps #334! I've just recently realized that I totally haven't played enough with my adorable Bee My Valentine suite - the DSP is just so cute! I think I broke into the honey sheets, but that was about it, lol. So today's sketch was perfect for showing off TWO patterns - yes! I chose the pretty floral Sweet Sorbet for the background, then this sheet of happy but smaller bees for my tilty panel - perfect! I added a stamped bee, too, just because it's so easy with the builder punch - love it! I can't wait to see your "askew" cards for us this round - meet you at the challenge! Bee My Valentine Stamp Set; Bee Mine DSP; Basic White & lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Daffodil Delight Inks; Sweet Sorbet Stamp-n-Write Marker; Bee Builder Punch; Stylish Shapes Dies; Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots; #SSC334. Very cute - check out the sprinkles on this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #191! Perfect for a birthday! I decided to pull out another retiring set today for this one - and Hello Kiwi has been such a fun and playful set! These bright kiwi pieces always make me smile, lol. I found this fun background sheet in the Bright & Beautiful DSP pack, and started stamping up my fruits! Always fun to arrange these cuties afterwards, too - which to glue flat, and which to dimension up? Good times, lol. I had just a bit of this Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon to add, too! Hello Kiwi Stamp Set; Bright & Beautiful DSP; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst & Versamark Inks; White EP; Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon; Matte Black Dots; #Cookie191. Oh gosh, I'm starting to have second thoughts about the challenge I issued for us at this round's As You See It #322 - "The color I use the least is..." What was I thinking?? First up, I had to figure out which color it is, and I even had a little method for it! The winner is Basic Gray, because I can tell I'm still working on my original pack of this CS, most of which is still in the hanging folder, along with the full complement of last year's DSP sheets for it, AND even the sheet I punched the folder tab out of, still otherwise intact. I don't even dislike this color! This is a little embarrassing, lol. Lucky for me, I just received the adorable Hearts & Hugs set - I think walruses are PERFECT for highlighting Basic Gray! I did up a pretty plaid background with one of my DSP sheets, and added some Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon (I have 4 rolls, unopened. ??? I vaguely remember this came packaged with another color, maybe an old SAB reward?) I colored up my snuggling walruses in Smoky Slate, and added a few of these fancy hearts that are also in the die set - just too cute! I can't wait to see YOUR least used color - meet you at the challenge! Hearts & Hugs Stamp Set; Basic Gray DSP; Basic White & Basic Gray CS; Basic Gray Ink; Smoky Slate, Crumb Cake & Pretty in Pink Blends Markers; Hearts & Hugs Dies; Basic Gray Shimmer Ribbon; #AYSI322.

So excited - Christmas Craft Creations has a non-traditional colors challenge for us this round! When I look at my "current" stamp shelves, I only have three Christmas sets that AREN'T retiring/retired, lol. Yikes! One of them is Merriest Trees, which thrills me! I got to thinking that this would be a fun one in one of our outgoing In Colors, too, so the Orchid Tree is born! I'm actually loving the look - I floated my stamped off with full strength details tree over a panel of Smoky Slate, and then added MORE details in Silver - what a looker! This pretty sentiment floats over all of that, and I finished with some tiny Rhinestones. So much sparkle feels really festive to me! Merriest Trees Stamp Set; Smoky Slate DSP; Basic White, Orchid Oasis & Silver Foil CS; Orchid Oasis Ink; Merriest Trees Dies; Banners Pick a Punch; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #ChristmasCraftCreations.
