 How cute is this cupcake??? I'm so excited to play along with penguins at Cupcake Inspiration #606! So you know I totally had to pull out my beloved Penguin Place set from 2022 - these guys are still SO cute! And of course I still have the DSP, lol, so I set up this pretty snowy scene for them to play in, complete with a hill for sliding, and a few tiny snowflakes! I kept the background and penguin details in Fresh Freesia - close enough to the pink in the snowflake, I think! So fun!

 OK, Christmas troopers! Bring on the snowflakes this month at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #166! For today's snowflakes, I turned to last year's Wishes All Around bundle - my heart, the dies! I was most enamored of the modern tree ring stamp and die last year, and did lots of renditions of that, lol. BUT, there's also a snowflake wreath - yes! So today's card features that, with a few extra single flakes, all floating over this glorious flocked sheet from our old Snowflake Specialty Vellum pack. Snowflakes in every bite, lol. I do love the look of Fresh Freesia for Christmas, so I did a study in that with white - looks crisp and fresh! I can't wait to see YOUR snowflakes this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

Tag Buffet Nov 9, 2 pm
Now to clean up the holidays with another all new class - introducing the tag buffet! Class will feature 6 festive tag sets (of 6!), and includes all supplies needed (bring your own favorite snips and adhesive!) Class also includes snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is announced for Saturday, November 9 at 2 PM! RSVP now to save your spot!  OK, this one is pretty fabulous! So many ways to go with Time Out Challenge #274's inspiration quote! After some thought, I decided to try a little bit of chalkboard action, but I also couldn't resist combining my older coffee sets with our yummy A Little Latte DSP, lol. I set up this fun coffee background, then created two coffee cups from our old Coffee Cafe and Merry Cafe sets - they work perfectly together! A pretty swirly cup with the "coffee helps" sleeve says it perfectly, along with the smaller woodgrain cup and a "you and coffee" phrase, lol. I think they look great together! I even finished with a few Swirl Dots! Coffee Cafe (retired 2019) & Merry Cafe (retired 2017) Stamp Sets; A Little Latte DSP; Basic White, Early Espresso & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso & Versamark Ink; White EP; Coffee Cup Dies; Swirly Dots; #TOC274.

Super fun - Shopping Our Stash #532 wants to see a Halloween scene! Yay! I knew right away I wanted to use my favorite dotty sheet from 2018's Frightful Sight DSP - such great colors! I combined it with 2019's Spooktacular Bash, for a chummy portrait block of monsters, lol. They're giving each other the hairy eyeball! It was fun to add a touch of color to each image - who knew there are Soft Sea Foam vampires?? Anyway, I also did the ornate back-frame for my sentiment - a bit of a clean-up job, but SUCH a pretty result! Later, Ghoulfriend!

Such a lovely Autumn inspiration quote for us at Time Out Challenges #273! Such a lovely quote cried out for a little effort on my part today, lol. I decided to pull out the stops with the coloring and play with my Brusho Crystal Colors again today - always good for some messy fun! I started with a whole sheet of our Watercolor Paper, put it safely on a "messy board, "and went to town with my crystals in yellow, orange and red. Then I spritzed with water to activate the colors, dried it with the heat gun, and went again. One more layer later I was happy with my results, and I made sure it was totally dry before I heat embossed my leaves in Gold and cut them out. They looked great against the Crumb Cake, and I stamped this perfect sentiment in the corner, before flicking some Cherry Cobbler ink over everything for good measure. Finito! I love it!

Now, you may have noticed, I seem to have Christmas on the brain these days - I so get that way once the Holiday Catty comes out, lol! So I couldn't resist going Christmas with this one, too, and I found just the elements to use in our A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP pack! I chose this lovely ornaments card front, because I find red, darker green and vanilla very vintage. I added a "For You" sentiment with our Greetings of the Season bundle - the tag let me sneak on a bit of Jute Twine (that I might have stolen off a jar of apple butter from a friend, lol.) I finished with a few Very Vanilla Enamel Dots - I never get to use them!

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!

RSVP today to save your spot!  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!

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!
