There's a fun new "bears" challenge at this round's AAA Cards #231!
My favorite CURRENT bear (don't even ask about my retired critter collection, lol) is in the super cute Count On Me set.  I love this plumpy guy, lol.  I kept things super CAS, simple layers, easy coloring, and just added a few tiny details to dress him up a tiny bit!  Fun and fast!

Sweet Citrus Thanks (& Birthday Cards Jan 14!)

So excited that I get a chance to play at the Alphabet Blog Challenge - this round, T is for Thank You!
What a perfect straight line to break out my new Sweet Citrus bundle, too, lol.  Another fun new hybrid set to play with!  I didn't do any of the hybrid embossing today, I'm too fascinated by the gorgeous and easy two-step stamping for the citrus, and super easy to cut out with the dies!  I did my fruits all in Mango Melody today, full strength on the peels, and then stamped off for the centers.  There's even two dies for the leaves, so I don't have to run everything through multiple times, lol.  I foresee a lot of juicing in my future!

Merry Ornaments (& Pumpkin Club Dec 31!)

Here's a lovely challenge to close out the year - The Sisterhood of Crafters would like to see something in traditional Christmas colors - red and green!
Another set I'm super sad to see retire is the gorgeous and versatile Spruced Up bundle.  I can't believe how many times I pulled this one out!  Love the trees, lol.  Anyway, I decided to use an ornament that I haven't even inked up yet this time, and I did one each in Real Red and Old Olive.  I added the star accents when I spotted it in the dies, lol.  I floated them over a panel of embossed Whimsical Trees, and finished with a last few details - quick and cute!

I am SO Excited that the first round of the Christmas Specials at In{k}spire Me #492 is gift tags!  Love them!
I decided to pull out my Decorated With Happiness set AGAIN, lol.  Really, it's just so versatile!  I cut a tag trio using my beloved Tailor Made Tags Dies, along with the hole protectors, and had some fun doing some single ornament arrangements.  For a final touch of sparkle, I added some tiny Iridescent Rhinestones.  Even with using the dies for the ornaments and tags, this little project was quick!  They're so adorable, and the timing is perfect, since I have a pile of boxes from Amazon to get going on, lol.

Such a pretty book cover at this month's Once Upon a Time #4!
I actually don't know this book, but what a gorgeous cover!  I tried to design a card inspired by the lovely colors and design elements, and, of course, an apt "dream" sentiment!  I had just the thing in  the Begin With a Dream set, over a few details I thought I could come close to.  I actually really like the result - I don't do much in this style, so I felt pretty unsure of where I was headed, lol.  Whew!

I always have to laugh when I see this graphic - Cupcake Inspirations #556 is "anything goes," and it's brilliant!
I'm going off the reservation a bit again today with another non-SU set, lol.  A few weeks ago, I won top pick for a prize at Time Out Challenge #223 - wow!  The prize was a $25 certificate to Newton's Nook, so I did a little shopping on them, lol.  OF COURSE I found a new chicken set to play with - adorable!  What totally caught my eye was this hilarious sentiment - I just couldn't resist!  Thanks TOC!  Such a fun prize!  I think "chicken butt" is just right for anything goes, lol...

Whew - so glad to be able to play this round finally at The Sisterhood of Crafters' "one for the guys" challenge!
I haven't pulled out my He's All That suite in far too long, and I can never get enough of the manly DSP!  I went with a barbecue theme for this one - hubby does the grilling in our house, and I just had to use the BBQ sheet, lol.  We even had a little grill in the die-cut pieces sheets - perfect!  I did up a medallion of the smoky sentiment, and popped everything together - simple and quick!

Fall Fern (& Christmas Cards Part 2 Oct 15!)

Shopping Our Stash #480 is running a "leaf me alone" challenge this round - so cute!
I've been really wanting to try Forever Fern in Fall colors for a while now - today is the day!  I stamped three different stems in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry.  I tried to make them all radiate from a focal point, where I popped up my sentiment in Espresso.  I thought some gold accents would go well, too, so I tousled some Metallic Gold Thread behind that as well, and added a few Brushed Gold Dots.  I still needed a little something, so I threw on three tiny springs I cut with the matching dies, too.  Time to stop!

I hope you like my spooky colors this round at As You See It #285!
I decided to go back to 2018's Sweet Home bundle to pull this one off!  I had a good time building my haunted home in all our colors, lol.  I was even able to use one of our tiny Matte Dots for the door knob!  The Starry Sky bats almost broke me, but I pushed through it, lol.  All oldies here, in new colors!  So fun!
I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for these crazy colors - meet you there!

Leaf Fall (& Pumpkin Club Sep 24!)

Excellent - Can You Handle the Pressure is back with a new twist - FALL!  Great timing, lol.
This is my chance to use my brand new EF called Leaf Fall - such a pretty pattern, and it's kind of lost in the Holiday Catalog, so make sure you go take a look for it!  I used mine to do some corner texture on Crumb Cake, which I floated over a layer of Cajun Craze.  I added this pretty sentiment from Gathered Wheat, then a leaf from our old 2018 set, Vintage Leaves.  I colored a few of the embossed leaves with a water painter, just to add a tiny bit more movement.  Simple and pretty!
