Something Great

Here's a fun challenge - Make My Monday #195 is called "tag it!"
I decided to grab my Greatest Journey set for this one again - I think this beauty has snuck into my favorite current set spot, lol.  Today I chose to mindfully try one of the patterned sides of the DSP - they are every bit as fabulous as the landscapes!  I love the organic colors of this one, and I also experimented with trying my own color coordination with it - neither Pool Party, that I layered it on, or Evening Evergreen, for my stamping, is listed as one of the colors on the pack.  But I love it here!  Such an inspiring suite!

We're all about the drama with our cool sketch this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #409!
I decided a dramatic sketch needed a dramatic set, and I don't think I can beat the drama found in our beautiful Enjoy the Journey suite!  I set up a simple scene on my favorite landscape sheet, with a hiker checking out the amazing view!  A few clouds and milky dots add some lighting, and the sentiment seemed just right for this courageous hiker!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for this lovely sketch - meet you there!

This is a great challenge for the new year, The Flower Challenge #77 would like us to use our latest stamps or dies this round!
My latest stamp set isn't actually a flower one, lol, but I can match it WITH the last flower one!  I had an idea to do this combo a last week, so I'm glad to give it a try!  My latest set, Stepping Stones, goes great with this garden gate image in the Scenic Garden SAB hostess set - and I even added some stones to the walkway!  I hope it's flowery enough - I even snuck in some of my Dainty Flowers DSP - I wanted to use this over-size image sheet, too!  So happy with how this came out!

Ahhh, LOVE our cool succulent colors this round at Sunday Stamps #303!
These gorgeous colors made me want to take another try at the Picturesque set - which was made for this color scheme!  I started with a Soft Sea Foam base, which I couldn't resist embossing with that Basics 3D folder again - I think this might be fave of the three, lol.  Then I kept my stamping all on one layer this time, stamping off almost all my colors, and popped up the sentiment across it, cool look!  I had to custom size UP this Deckled Rectangle for the saying, but a little tab of washi made that a snap!  A few Balmy Blue Glossy Dots finished it off.
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our restful cool colors - meet you at the challenge!

I'm "tickled pink" about our new color challenge this round at Retro Rubber #199!
I knew I wanted to combine white, pink and green - how to make that work?  I started looking over my current shelves - full disclosure - I almost forgot to include the "retro" part of our challenge!  I chose this image from our hostess set Sit, Stay, Relax and colored it in Soft Sea Foam before I remembered!  Luckily, I have a wealth of retired sentiments!  This beauty from 2011's Pursuit of Happiness is still one of my favorites - though they're ALL awesome, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR retro take on our beautiful colors this round - meet you at the challenge!

There's a fun new "bears" challenge at this round's AAA Cards #231!
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!

We have a fun left-justified sketch for you this week at As You See It #290!
I was thrilled with all that open space to play in - how to tackle the layout today?  I decided to check the DSP first, and came across the Happy Forest Friends pack, which I have BARELY touched, sigh.  These little scraps hardly count, either, lol, but it gave me my colors to get started with, and stuck with Mossy Meadow and White, with pops of Melon Mambo.  I also recently came across my Meadows dies that have been idle too long - LOVE these stems!  And I had a good time shortening this pretty sentiment die by taking a "bite" off the longer end and running through twice!  Glad to get my SAB Sending Support set inked up, too!
I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun sketch this round - meet you at the challenge!

Tutu Time Out

Wow!  I am SO excited to guest design at this week's Time Out Challenge #226!  This beautiful quote from Nelson Mandela is an inspiring starting place!
I feel a little embarrassed, but I'm going to answer one quote with another here - my favorite one from another great man - and a great friend of President Mandela - Desmond Tutu.  BOTH of these quotes speak to me about how much power we have to do good in our world!  They speak in particular about the work these men accomplished together, as well.  Great heads and hearts, both of them!
​I hope you have time to play along with us - I can't wait to see your projects!

Nautical in Navy

We have some great spots at our tic-tac-toe challenge this round at Retro Rubber #192!  I get to make it monochrome for our challenge this week at SU Only #311, too!
After much dithering, I finally settled on the diagonal of Nautical-pattern paper-blue - that bolsters my monochrome goals pretty handily!  I went back to our gorgeous Sailing Home set - even though it only retired earlier this year, it was first released in 2019!  And still gorgeous.  I pulled this scrap of stripey DSP from the Sun Prints pack, and stuck to Night of Navy for all my details!  I also love to use the blender pen on the images in this set - gives them so much pop!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our challenges this round - meet you there!
Sailing Home Stamp Set (retired 2022); Sun Prints DSP; Basic White & Night of Navy CS; Night of Navy Ink; Blender Pen; Smooth Sailing (retired) & Stylish Shapes Dies; High Seas EF (retired); Iridescent Pearls; #RRCB192; #SUOC311.

Clucky Bird

Addicted to CAS # 228 has another great code word for us this round - "birds!"
You know with a straight-line like a bird cue, there was no way I'd NOT do my chickens, right??  I went with the eponymous Best of Cluck one today!  I started by blender brush-stenciling some faint background with a honeycomb doily - I think it's very chicken wire-esque!  Next I stamped my clucker right over this in black, and then again on a piece of white scrap.  I colored in my scrap chicken with my Blends Markers, and added my usual dots with a white gel pen to the body.  After fussy cutting this cutie I pop-dotted it over the background for some extra dimension.  These pretty Pale Papaya Fine Sparkle Gems were just the right touch to finish!  Let's do the Chicken Dance!
Best of Cluck Stamp Set (retired 2006); Basic White CS; Honeycomb Doily; Memento Tuxedo Black & Sahara Sand Inks; Real Red, Old Olive & Mango Melody Blends Markers; White Gel Pen; Pale Papaya Fine Sparkle Gems; #ATCAS228.
