You Light Up My Life

I am SO super excited to guest design at The Male Room #166 this month!  We're playing song titles this round!
So, I had to dig pretty deep to find something - argh!  I finally took a pass through some old Paper Pumpkin Sets, and found the July 2020 set Summer Nights, which had this little cutie!  Yes, we're going with the Debby Boone version we all know and love!  "You give me hooooope, to carry on!"  I was cracking up the whole time I made this one, lol.  I pulled this pretty evening sky sheet from my retired New Horizons pack, and heat embossed a few spotlights in white for my fireflies.  I popped up the sentiment on a Tailor Made Tag, and added some yellow twine to match those little firefly butts.  I think this will be hubby's birthday card this year!
I hope you can join in the fun over at the challenge - I can't wait to see what YOU come up with!

Pink Birthday Piggy (& Fall Cards Class Sep 10!)

Lol, so many fun possibilities for this week's Addicted to CAS #227 "pink" challenge - woo!
For me, when I looked over my possible "pink" sets, the one that jumped out was This Birthday Piggy!  Of COURSE a little piggy would be perfect in pink!  I went with this little sleepyhead and made sure to bring on the pink - I don't think I've stamped this one before!  What's even cuter about this one is the inside sentiment:  "Go to your happy place and stay there all day!"  Adorable!   I snuck in a few Polished Pink Opal Rounds to finish things off - hopefully I have enough white space left to still qualify as CAS!

Wow, I am smitten with that gorgeous ocean picture at this week's Fusion "seagull beach" combo!
I was really struck by that inspo pic this week - such soft colors!  I totally had to pull out my retired On the Horizon paper AGAIN, lol, so perfect for all these color wash challenges!  I also loved this pelican on the shore pilings - really reminds me of those perched gulls in the pic.  I smudged my black ink just the tiniest bit for a slight tinge of gray with my Blender Pen.  Unfortunately, all that leaves no room for the sketch side, lol, so here we are!  I did finish with a few Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds, love the glimmer on these!

Check out our fun gumball colors this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #396!  It will be so fun combine with our playful sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday # 570 this week, too!
We have an additional theme at TSOT this week, too, and I knew it would be perfect for setting off my colors - insects!  Enter the rainbow ladybug brigade, lol.  I had to slightly re-order my layers, but yes, I think I'll just take that liberty!  I stamped up a nice flowery panel for them to sip from, and finished with this cute sentiment - just right for a buggy birthday!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week - meet you at the blogs!

This should be a fun one - The Flower Challenge #71 would like us to use circles in our design!
My favorite CURRENT flower set is still the gorgeous Art Gallery bundle.  LOVE these multi-step blossoms, we can add so much shading and depth!  I did two of the larger flowers today, and built them with three colors - a base of Fresh Freesia, a stamped-off layer of Rich Razzleberry, and a dark center of Blackberry Bliss.  I SO love how these came out!  I floated them over a couple Gold Hoop Embellishments I have saved, and tucked in a few leaves to finish things off.  Yum!

Ah ha - the always yummy Cupcake Inspiration #549 is playing FROZEN treats this round - count me in!
I went back to my old Cool Treats set from 2018 - still my favorite ice cream, lol.  I even still have some of the Tasty Treats DSP to go with - I'm such a hoarder for some things!  Anyway, I settled on a simple layout, and set out to make a few yummies.  As usual, I went ahead and fussy cut my goodies - there are dies, yes, but the dies cut significantly smaller than the stamped image, and I want the biggest treats ever, lol!  I heat-embossed a sparkly sentiment from the Suite Sentiments set from the year before - a special set that gave us extra words for a few of our awesome bundles!  I finished with a birthday thought inside!

So excited we have our "Anything Goes" challenge this round at Retro Rubber #188!  PERFECT for our fun sketch at SU Only #307, too!
While scanning the shelves of retirement, the taco truck just kept beeping at me, lol - it needed some love!  It' hard to believe this was from a Sale-A-Bration in 2017!  It still seems so fresh, especially when it adapts to our latest hostess DSP so well - the Design a Daydream pack.  Fun colors to draw from for a cupcake truck, if I do say so myself!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects on these challenges - meet you there!

Blended Balloons

Now this is cool - Shopping Our Stash #474 is challenging us to "blend in!"  Fun!
I'm excited to break out my blending brushes - I don't use them nearly enough!  I got to thinking how I wanted to punch some shapes from some blended bits, and so I went to my old Balloon Celebration set, that retired in 2019.  And if we're doing balloons, how about a pretty sky for them to fly up into??  Done!  It was a punchy day, lol.  I punched a couple cloud masks, and started with my sky, then dressed up some scraps of white in two tones for the balloons.  Low key and fun - I even pieced a Tailor Made Tag for my sentiment!

Wow, a super fun combo from In{k}spire Me #481 this week - LOVE the colors especially!
I couldn't resist going back to our JUST retired For the Record stamp set - it has the perfect long hatch-line image for that side stripe element!  I kept it all fairly one-layer - I started with the stripes (yes, I still rock my Stamp-a-Ma-Jig, thank you very much!) then filled in some stamped-off records for the remaining white space.  These colors are so cheery!  I did my sentiment all snipped and wonky, just for fun, and added a birthday wish to the inside in Tahitian Tide.  Very playful!

Time for another one-layer card for Less Is More #467 - and we have to stick to just one image this round, too!
This was a tough one for me today.  I have been seeing some fanTABulous one-layer cards out there recently, and I clearly have a LOT of room to up my game, lol.  WOW!  Today, though, I kept it so minimalist, I feel a little conflicted about it, lol.  There's barely even any color on there, either!  Anyway, the yeti waited as long as he's going to, lol, he wanted to make his debut!  I can't wait to show his Christmas parties, too, lol.
