 We have a brand new inspo list from Festive Friday #176 - for National Wedding Month! So, once I got a peek at that list, I admit straight out that I got a little carried away, lol. It was "tin cans" that did it, I'm afraid, because I immediately thought about the tin can on a stick image from my old Under the Stars set from 2008 - it has such great camping images! All thoughts of a wedding card went right out the window! If I was going to do the can, then I had to have the guilty-looking little raccoon, too, lol. I do have the brand new Adventure Together bundle, so I snagged the little firepit from there, as well as half my sentiment! The "congrats" is actually from our also-new Bright Borders. I'm thinking of this as retirement card, or maybe a "congrats on your new camper" card, lol. I also built my little scene on a z-fold card - so fun! Anyway, I hit tin can, fancy fold, pearls, metallics (I colored the fire pit silver, lol) and congrats. I'm adding the laughs, too, lol... Under the Stars (retired 2008), Adventure Together & Bright Borders Stamp Sets; Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Garden Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Garden Green Inks; Smoky Slate, Pecan Pie, Bermuda Bay (retired) & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Cricut Silver Metallic Marker; Adventure Together Dies; Festive Pearls in Green; #FF0176.

 What a fun theme for the new year from Time Out Challenge #279 - beginnings! So excited that I get to show off SEVERAL new goodies with this one - perfect for a "beginnings" theme, too, I suppose, lol. There are some great sentiments in our new (out TODAY!) Bright Borders stamp set, that coordinates beautifully with the To The Point Label punch! I picked a gorgeous plaid sheet from the Timeless Plaid DSP pack (8 of each sheet - YES!) and showed off both sides, while using the colors for my stamping, too. So fun to build this perfect sentiment for the theme! I also found this embossing folder under a stack on my desk - I KNEW I had gotten this one, I couldn't figure out where it went! This one is Forever Plaid, and I did my background all tilty - eek! Bright Borders Stamp Set; Timeless Plaid DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Boho Blue & Calypso Coral Inks; Forever Plaid EF; To The Point Label Punch; Boho Blue Glossy Dots; #TOC279.

I went with a pretty minimum selection of ideas, lol, mostly because I was fixated on the memory of a rosette stamp in one of our old Paper Pumpkins - that would be the perfect starting place! I dug that out first, just so I could see what else I had to work with, and pulled August 2020's World Greatest set for a look. Yup, there it is! How about a simple congrats card in bright colors! When I spotted my Gingham Gala DSP in Lemon Lime Twist for my bright color, I thought the pattern was kinda state fairish - at least, that's what I remember from my 4H days, lol. I found some first-run ribbon to go with, and finished with some celebratory stars, too (they were laying out on my desk, lol, so I decided to use them!) It all hangs together pretty well, I think!

We're celebrating National Picture of a Bird Day here at Make My Monday #223! Who knew? Turns out, all the Chucks wanted to mug a bit for the camera today! I was sad to see this set on the retiring list, not that I'll be really letting it go, lol. These guys are always good for a smile and a pick-me-up! I did a kinda inchie card, with all four of the feathered gents posing for a pic, and kept them all in manly farm colors, too - so fun! I can't wait to see YOUR bird pictures this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

It's really about the love this week, lol - The Flower Challenge #88 would like us to add a heart! I decided to look over my Shelves of Retirement for this one - and I haven't inked up Beautiful Thistle in who knows how long! Winner winner! I started by checking my scraps folders for something good for the background, and I came across this retired sheet of Soft Sea Foam in a plaid - perfect! I matched this with Highland Heather, to carry the theme, lol, and got to work on my thistles. Turns out I love this combo of green and purple, lol, and I stamped the smallest sentiment on this fun heart in the Radiating Stitches Dies. I even had some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems to finish things off! Beautiful Thistle Stamp Set (retired 2023); Soft Sea Foam DSP (retired); Basic White & Highland Heather CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Versamark Inks; White EP; Highland Heather & Soft Sea Foam Blends Markers; Beautiful Thistle (retired) & Radiating Stitches Dies; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; #TFC88.

I'm really liking the combo at this week's In{k}spire Me #526! Love the purples! BUT, I think I'll take just the sketch this round, lol - all my purples are out in class supplies right now! On top of that, I took some, ah, liberties, with the sketch, too - I just wanted to make it all fit! I'm debuting my Wild Ferns bundle today, and let me tell you, there are some COOL dies in this one! I really wanted to use the largest of the pierced rectangles, and I could JUST make them fit if I turned them like this, lol. Maybe too blocky? Not sure on this one, but I swear I got the IDEA from the sketch, at least, lol. I did my fern fronds in three colors, and smudged them all with a Blender Pen, floating my sentiment in the center. A few Wild Wheat Glossy Dots finishes things off! Hope I've met the brief! Wild Ferns Stamp Set; Softly Stippled DSP; Basic White & Soft Sea Foam CS; Mossy Meadow, Wild Wheat & Old Olive Inks; Blender Pen; Wild Ferns Dies; Wild Wheat Glossy Dots; #IMC526.   Sympathy Cards Class February 10

Class will feature 6 cards with envelopes, snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25. Bring your own favorite snips and adhesive! 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!  Oo, something new (for me, at least, lol) this round at Shopping Our Stash #508 - a color challenge! I started by picking three colors - and I went with Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie & Misty Moonlight - what could I stamp with these? After a quick browse, I landed on Bird's Eye View - these guys are so funny! Since there are no sentiments, I Pulled Happy Labels to go with it, and got to work! I found a couple sheets of our first-run DSP stack in Misty Moonlight, and decided this text sheet would be perfect with the stack of books! I chose a studious birdie to perch on top and added some glasses to really complete the look, lol. Since we don't have Blends Markers in Garden Green (!!!) I opted for my water painters, too - I love the look! I floated all my stamping over this fun shape from Nested Essentials, and finished with a few Misty Moonlight Glossy Dots! Yay! I think this would make a great school congrats card, and I love using my old stash Misty Moonlight stuff! Bird's Eye View & Happy Labels Stamp Sets; Misty Moonlight DSP; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Garden Green, Pumpkin Pie & Misty Moonlight Inks; Water Painters; Nested Essentials Dies; Misty Moonlight Glossy Dots; #SOS508.   I'm loving our fresh colors this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments 424! It took me FOREVER to decide what to play with for them, though, lol. I finally settled on our super cute Year To Celebrate - I love these noise-makes! My thought was I could pair up the colors to make some fun party favors! I toned things down just a bit by stamping off in key places, and I really love how it all came out! Topsy-turvy seemed appropriate for this party card, too, lol. I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for these colors - meet you at the challenge! Year To Celebrate Stamp Set; Calypso Coral DSP; Basic White & Calypso Coral CS; Calypso Coral, Lost Lagoon, Blackberry Bliss, Pebbled Path & Versamark Inks; White EP; Deckled Rectangle Dies; Calypso Coral Sheer Ribbon; Calypso Coral Sequins; #HSS424.   What a great idea! Cardz 4 Guyz #331 has a "stars" theme going this round! You KNOW I had to run straight to my beloved Greatest Journey set, with its fabulous Enjoy The Journey DSP! This is just the perfect sentiment! I made a big chunky mountain to float over a stunning starry sky backdrop, so of course, that's the cardstock and ink I used, too - Starry Sky! I crack myself up sometimes, lol. Anyway, I added a pretty crescent moon, and doctored up a Deckled Rectangle for the sentiment, and finished with some tiny Orchid Oasis Matte Dots. At the last second, I slipped a paper glue dot behind the lantern, and then just didn't peel it, to make it look like the lantern was really lit! Sigh, still one of my all-time favorite suites ever! Greatest Journey Stamp Set (retired 2023); Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Starry Sky CS; Starry Sky Ink; Greatest Journey (retired) & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Orchid Oasis Matte Dots; #C4G331.

Oo, this one might be tough - AAA Cards #247 has "sketch for a teen" challenge this round! I went with Fun On Wheels today, and kept it as simple as I could stand, lol. I first cut a big Stitched Rectangle for some White on White layering - adds a tiny bit of oomph without getting all fancy! I dabbed on some bright color with my Blending Brushes, and stamped this perspective bike over them in Black. After I sat with it for a minute, I went back and stamped the "street map" image on either side, too - very light, in stamped off Smoky Slate. My sentiment went at the bottom per the sketch, and I caved and added 3 Matte Black Dots - I'm so weak about embellies, lol. Fun On Wheels Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist, Memento Tuxedo Black & Smoky Slate Inks; Blending Brushed; Rectangle Stitched Dies; Matte Black Dots; #AAA247.  |
