 Now this is a sweet theme - Shopping Our Stash #529 wants us to create a "just because" card! Well, first I had to really root around and find the sentiment, lol. I finally spotted this one (shh, in the for sale box, lol) in Lovely You, which retired last year! I really loved that it mixed the fonts in the sentiments - my favorite look! Since this was a "just because," I decided I wanted it to be kind of Fall-y, and since I had spotted some old Rings of Love DSP while sorting through my stash, I knew just what sheet I wanted to feature! I pulled this pretty oak leaf and acorn sheet, and even fussy cut one little spray to feature with the sentiment. I even still have some Soft Suede to go with it all! I layered up some retired oval punches, and found a little wooden accent, too. A few chocolatey sequins finishes things off! So fun! Lovely You Stamp Set (retired 2023); Rings of Love DSP (retired); Basic White & Soft Suede (retired) CS; Soft Suede Ink (retired); Large Oval & Scalloped Oval Punches (both retired); Tags & Feathers Elements (retired); Neutrals Sequins; #SOS529.

 I'm so super excited that this month's theme at AAA Birthday #64 is critters! I can never get enough of them, lol... As I was checking over my current critter section, I spied my remainder of the By Your Side kit - SUCH cute kitties and dogs in this kit! It was a generous kit, and I still have a few cats, plus one Bassett Hound, left, lol. I decided to use my last "tangled" kitty - isn't he the cutest? While I did use the included stamp set on the envelope, I pulled out my Simply Said set for my birthday sentiment - I can't believe how much I use this set! I gave him some Gold Cording Trim to wiggle around on, and also used the last of the kit's heart embellies, too. Since I was doing tone-on-tone layers, I also decided to distress my top layer - such a quick detail! By Your Side & Simply Said Stamp Sets; Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Crumb Cake Inks; Gold Cording Trim; Gold Heart Embellishments; By Your Side Diecut; Distressing Tool; #AAAB64.

I'm really liking the theme at this round's Shopping Our Stash #527 - "Up Up & Away!" Time for more balloons! I first went shopping for some balloon images - isn't there an old one of a puppy flying away? A birthday chicken? I feel like I just did hot air balloons, so I wanted to go for party balloons this time! Then I spotted Silly Goose - YES! Now for the DSP - I could dimly remember a colorful sheet that was COVERED in party balloons - which led me to my old pack of Birthday Bonanza DSP - I think from 2020? Perfect! I set up my background, stamped up my goose on a Deckled Rectangle, and did some minimal coloring in Mango Melody and Bermuda Bay - so perfect! I even scrounged up some Bermuda Bay Stitched Ribbon! Up, up and away!

Such a fun layered sketch at this round's Sketch Saturday #756, and so many great spins on it by the DT! I decided I really wanted to turn this sketch - I feel like I've been on landscape a lot lately, lol, time to bring back the portrait! With these layered blocks, I knew I could feature a bold DSP, too, so straight to Flowering Zinnias I went! These are SUCH bright colors - they are sure to cheer up the gloomiest day! I started by picking a gorgeous feature zinnia to fussy cut, then added in these bright Melon Mambo panels behind. I didn't quite have enough room to add my sentiment directly to the background white, but this gave me the chance to heat emboss it over a nice Blackberry strip. I think I need a nice melon berry spritzer now, lol! I finished with some Fine Shimmer Gems for the fizz! Yum! Simply Zinnias Stamp Set; Flowering Zinnias DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Versamark Ink; White EP; Blackberry Bliss Fine Shimmer Gems; #SS756.   Snow in August Class Saturday August 17!

What beautiful cookies at this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #194! Aloha! This sent me straight to my old Timeless Tropical bundle from 2022 - I even still have some Tropical Oasis DSP! I decided to try my hand at a bold Hibiscus, to set off this sweet layered aloha included in the dies - I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I started with Lemon Lolly layered over the stamen, then added some bolder accents of Dark Melon Mambo to the petals, I then went over it all with a layer of Petal pink to soften up the darker accents, then continued to blend both shades of Mambo til I felt done. I did lighten a few edges with more Petal Pink to finish. I floated my "cookie" over a background of smaller hibiscus and plumeria - I can smell the islands now! I'm having quite the tropical weekend - yay! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set (retired 2022); Tropical Oasis DSP (retired); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo.

I LOVE our playful bold colors at As You See It #327 this round! These condos totally reminded me of the fun row houses you see in beach towns - so I went straight for my Beach Day set! Since I was limited by our colors, I chose a few key items that I knew would look great in them, and I left the "beach" part in black and white, lol. So fun to arrange a cozy little fun day at the beach with my pieces! I floated it all over this sunny sheet of Daffodil Delight DSP, and finished with a few Shiny Sequins - bring on the rays!

I went a little bit backwards in my design today, and decided what ribbon I wanted to use first, which was this first-run Mini Striped Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon - love this stuff! What guy card could I make with this one? Something in greeeeeen - hey, how about Sweet Peas again?? Bwahaha! Now THIS is the combo that I actually got this set for - look at that little frowny pea-face!! I crack up every time I even think of it, lol.

I think I can say that our whole Latte Love suite is firmly in my Top 5 Favorites-of-all-SU-time, perhaps even in the #1 spot! I love the images, the sentiments and the DSP SO MUCH, and the Swirl Dots, too! For today's card, I pulled out all my Latte stuff and started the clock. Since I knew I had pre-cut pieces in my DSP, I didn't start digging through those til time had started at least, AND I included the envelope flap in my time, too - gotta be fair, lol. I even inked up some coffee splatter for my bare edge - just right! 7 minutes and 43 seconds is just right for a cuppa! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy thank yous - meet you at the challenge! Go go go! Latte Love Stamp Set; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White & Pecan Pie CS; Early Espresso & Pecan Pie Inks; Latte Love Dies; White Baker's Twine; Swirly Dots; #AYSI325.

Super cute with them all facing all different ways, too - and of course playing the birthday song! Just love it!
