OK, we're going straight for the big one - Cardz 4 Guyz #315 wants a Valentine for a guy! So, I'm all done with pink and red for this year, lol. So let's try carrots instead! I so love our Sale-a-Bration set, Thanks a Bunch, so much! We just don't have anything else like it, and it's so FUN! I decided it was perfect for a bit of vegetable love, lol. I built three grand carrots with Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie, and gave them some Granny Apple Green leaves. A Granny Apple love banner was perfect across the bottom, and I finished with a few of the lighter Old Olive Matte Decorative Dots - just right! This so makes me giggle! Thanks a Bunch Stamp Set; Pumpkin Pie DSP; Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie & Granny Apple Green Inks; Deckled Rectangles Dies; Old Olive Matte Decorative Dots; #C4G315.

Hm, this round's "anything goes" challenge at Can You Handle the Pressure includes a twist of "borders!" I happen to have a new EF burning a hole on my desk right now - I HAVE to use my new Legendary Ride suite today! I decided to do a layered "border" for this one, and left a nice wide margin for my new Metal Plate EF. I did that layer in our retired Galvanized Metallic paper - love the look with my nice "chopper," lol. I added a panel of the very cool DSP, with a band of the reverse side that I also used on the envelope. I popped up my bike and sentiment, and threw on some flames at the end - I even squeezed on some "stud" embellies. Very manly, indeed, lol.

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!

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!

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.

I had just the thing in the Begin With a Dream set, over a few details I thought I could come close to.

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.

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!

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!
