What a great quote we have to inspire us this round at Time Out Challenges #261! Love it! My favorite crafty quotes are still the ones from our Crafting Forever set from 2020 - so many goodies! I wanted to match it up with something else, though, and since my beloved Zany Zoo will be retiring TOO soon, I decided to check that awesome DSP for something likely - don't they have a crafty critter sheet in there? Turns out, they SO do - check out this knitting llama - isn't she adorable?? I had a hard time choosing between her and the painting hedgehog, lol. Anyway, I played with some Nested Essential dies, too - I'm loving the angles I've gotten here! My kind of llama!

So cute - The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme of bunnies or chicks this round! How about one of each?? As soon as I saw this challenge, I knew I wanted to pull out the February 2024 Paper Pumpkin - Sweet Springtime! Such cute images in this one, and the sweetest Easter sentiment, too. I even have the add-on dies, The Love of Spring, that has this gorgeous daffodil die in it! I did all my coloring in Blends markers this time - though I also love to do these with Water Painters - another great look! And of course, I couldn't resist floating everything over this glorious Gingham Gala DSP sheet in Lemon Lime Twist - my little hoard is dwindling!

A set I haven't used in forever, but has been on my mind lately got a chance to come out to play today! The Gang's All Meer is from our 2020 SAB, and I've been smitten with these little guys ever since, lol. I decided to pull out the little group photo stamp - don't they look adorable posing like that?? After I colored them all in, I went back and lightened up their little tummies with my color lifter for a little extra touch - SWOON! They sure bring a smile to your face, don't they?

Such a sweet sketch this week at In{k}spire Me #528 - I'm letting the color challenge that goes with it slide, lol. I feel like I'm doing terrible at color challenges these days! In an effort to play other stamp sets besides my current favorite coffee set, lol, I turned to Bright Skies - those beautiful clouds are perfect for the sketch! I even still have a bit of the SAB paper still for it, so I fussy cut two particular fancy clouds I wanted for my card front! I really liked this encouraging sentiment, too, and then I finished with a few bright gems. Quick and pretty!

I'm loving our plum cozy colors at this round of Sunday Stamps #329! Today I needed a super quick (and super simple!) card to send out to a friend who just got some bad news. Don't you just hate to hear about that? I wanted to send a little note of encouragement along, and it just happened to fall on our color day at Sunday Stamps! What a challenge! I decided to keep thing fairly stripped down, and brought in Delicate Forest, which has WONDERFUL sentiments for giving a friend a hand up! I stamped off a tiny bit of stem-scape for the background, then did two layers of these pretty stems in two of our colors. The sentiment floats above in a third color, and I finished with some Solid Gems. I still have time to make the mail, I think! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge!

Lol, we have such an awesome fill-in-the-blank challenge for you this round at As You See It #316! What was YOUR latest crafting purchase?? My latest stamp set is the Quiet Reflection set, which I got for an upcoming class. I sometimes find the DistINKtive style of stamps a little challenging to work with, but this one went more smoothly than for me! After a couple experiments, I opted for this "stamped off" version, as a little softer in my chosen colors, and then I layered everything up to the max using my Rectangle Stitched dies. I was able to sneak in a couple SAB goodies, too - love that! I can't wait to get a peek at YOUR new toys! Meet you at the challenge! Quiet Reflection Stamp Set; Softly Stippled DSP; Basic White, Pebbled Path & Calypso Coral CS; Calypso Coral & Pebbled Path Inks; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Calypso Coral Opague Faceted Gems; Calypso Coral Baker's Twine; #AYSI316.

This class can also be free with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for February 10 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot! I had some fun picking the colors for this one at As You See It #315! It might just be my inspiration pic, but these colors said SPRING to me, lol, so I decided to try out my new Excellent Eggs bundle! One egg to color and I cut out three more! This set has very fun dies - so many details we can add to three different sized eggs - the dies are totally why I got this bundle, lol. We haven't had a fun Easter Egg set for a while, and all the dots and stitching, the fun stripes we can play with - it was a must-have for me, lol. I had some fun pulling together this Bright Granny Apple background, and then coloring in the stamped egg - yum! I added a few of the fancy diecut eggs, and finished with some Melon Mambo Glossy Dots - such happy colors! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our playful colors - meet you at the challenge! Excellent Eggs Stamp Set; Granny Apple Green DSP (retired); Basic White, Mossy Meadow, Crushed Curry & Melon Mambo CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo & Mossy Meadow Blends Markers; Crushed Curry Stamp-n-Write Marker; Excellent Eggs & Tasteful Labels (retired) Dies; Melon Mambo Glossy Dots; #AYSI315.

We're kicking off our stampin' year with this wonderful sketch at As You See It #314! Ahhhh, my two favorite words, "any shape!" Challenge accepted, lol! What a perfect chance to break in the super cute Planted Paradise set - we were given this set for free as part of a recent event, and it had me stumped for a while! There are no sentiments with it, so I matched it with the now-available Heartfelt Hellos, a set you can earn FREE with a $50 purchase during Sale-a-Bration! When a stamp set bogs me down, my first instinct is to go crazy with the color - I think that fixes everything, lol, so I have a colorful array of pretty pots arranged around my bold sentiment. So fun! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our pretty sketch - meet you at the challenge! Planted Paradise & Heartfelt Hellos Stamp Sets; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Azure Afternoon, Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist & Granny Apple Green Inks; Basics 2 EF; Lemon Lime Twist Tinsel Gems; #AYSI314.

Aw, such a cute one - Cardz 4 Guyz #337 would like to see Christmas elves or gnomes this round! I was a little shocked to realize that I actually don't have ANY elf sets or papers - how does that happen? So gnomes it is! I combined last year's Kindest Gnomes with the gorgeous Beary Christmas DSP - I think gnomes would totally wear this Nordic pattern, lol. I kept it fairly simple for a guy, but I DID finally use my very last 5 Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes - it's a big day! I love this little lantern gnome and dressed him all in green to go with his background. The Nested Essentials dies made for a fun shape to set him off! Kindest Gnomes Stamp Set (retired 2022); Beary Christmas DSP; Very Vanilla & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; White EP; Real Red, Old Olive, Pebbled Path, Basic Black, Daffodil Delight & SU800 Blends Markers; Gnomes (retired) & Nested Essentials Dies; Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes (retired); #C4G337.

I'm so excited about the theme at this round's Cardz 4 Guyz #336 - "festive creatures!" I LOVE critters! We have some awesome festive critters in our lineup this year, but I decided to dip back into the shelves of retirement for this one, lol. My cute Scottie dog needed to stretch his legs! I set up his background with this manly plaid sheet from my old Plaid Tidings pack - there's really something for every season in there! Next I cut my panel for my Scottie, who I stamped in Pebbled Path and punched out, along with his festive bow, lol. He's so cute - even for a guy, lol!
