 Very fun! The Male Room #186 is for "planes, trains or automobiles!" I know just what I want to do! This of course totally called for our gorgeous new Adventurous Sky suite - I think this is my fave plane set ever! So much to choose from for the papers, too, and the planes are so easy to dress up or dress down! I stayed pretty Night of Navy today - a little Blender Pen smudging is a wondrous thing, lol. I added one of the pretty and realistic clouds, then did a smudged up plane over it, and floated my sentiment above it all! I even used some of the Industrial Trinkets - this is the etched side, but the reverse is very rivet-like! Next card, lol... Adventurous Sky Stamp Set; Take to the Sky DSP; Basic White & Night of Navy CS; Night of Navy & Smoky Slate Inks; Blender Pen; Adventurous Sky & Stylish Shapes Dies; Night of Navy Baker's Twine; Industrial Trinkets; #TMR186.

 Such a fun one from Time Out Challenge #263 - Alphabet Magnet Day! This should be a riot, lol. I decided to do some bright letters against a black background, and after I changed my mind on making a big letter jumble with something profound floating over that, lol, I came up with adding an alphabet to our gorgeous Unbounded Love stamp set! It already has the call-out words in it - I just had to pick a good combo! I went with the "faith" pair, though I think there are several phrases that could go with this one, and I used my retired Playful Alphabet dies - still love this font! At the last second, I embossed my background with my old Alphabet Press EF, too, the more letters the merrier! Unbounded Love Stamp Set; Basic White, Basic Black, Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green & Azure Afternoon CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Alphabet Press EF (retired); Unbounded Love & Playful Alphabet (retired (dies); White Enamel Dot Essentials; #TOC263.   Nice - Cupcake Inspirations #593 has a vibrant color challenge for us this round - yum! I thought at first I'd do some crazy flowers for this one, but so close to the catalog rolling over, I didn't really see any sets I liked for it, lol. BUT, I spotted the rain boots in my Garden Meadow set - I can't believe I've never used them before! Don't they look cute in these bright colors?? I dug through my scrap folders, and found this dotty sheet of Flirty Flamingo for a background, so I layered it up on Pumpkin Pie with a layer of White in between to set them apart. I actually found this sentiment already stamped and cut in my dies - I think leftover from a class, lol. It still works! I next stamped and colored three pairs of wellies - in Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie and Poppy Parade - I think it's growing on me! I left the little white trimmings alone to pop against the colors! What a fun card! Garden Meadow Stamp Set; Flirty Flamingo DSP; Basic White & Pumpkin Pie CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Flirty Flamingo, Pumpkin Pie & Poppy Parade Blends Markers; Garden Meadows & Tasteful Labels (retired) Dies; Pumpkin Pie Baker's Twine; Orange Shiny Sequins; #CIC593.

Yay! One of my favorite classes of the year! Time to bring on all those cute critters we've been seeing! This class will feature 6 cards with envelopes, for all occasions, and includes all your supplies (bring your own favorite snips and adhesive!), plus snacks, drinks and a special gift from me, all for $25! This class can also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is ON for Saturday, May 11, at 2 PM! RSVP now to save your spot!  Ahoy, matey! We want to see your nautical themes this round at Retro Rubber #230! I totally couldn't resist pulling in my all-time favorite sentiment from 2015's Adventure Awaits for this one (even IF I maybe already even did a Retro card this year using it, shhh, lol!) Just the ultimate nautical sentiment, and good encouragement to boot! I matched it with my equally favorite nautical DSP pack By The Shore, which I have been carefully hoarding since 2016, lol. I just love this stuff, and it's so lovely over the Very Vanilla! This is the very last bit of these pretty stripes, and I even snuck in the very last bit of the awesome fishies on the envelope! The end of an era, though I still have some other scraps and three full un-cut sheets left of the pack, bwahahaha! I also gave this card one of my two remaining Sail Away Trinkets - getting close! I can't wait to see YOUR nautical themes this round - meet you at the challenge, and don't forget to make it RETRO (at least a year old or more!)

I got started by selecting my stamp set first - Everyday Details is just so pretty, and I have some time to make up with this one still, since I got it so late, lol. Today I went with the pretty floral tea cup, and I floated it all over a sheet from the retired SAB pack Flight & Airy - first time using this one - yikes! Anyway, such a delicate floral pattern on the paper was perfect to go with this pretty cuppa, and I love the dies for my stamped panel, as well as the smallest one for my sentiment! As the name implies, perfect little details! I can't wait to see YOUR floral projects this round - meet you at the challenge! Everyday Details Stamp Set; Flight & Airy DSP (retired); Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Boho Blue, Crumb Cake, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Everyday Details Dies; Iridescent Pastel Gems; #MMM225.

Now, I've been looking for a chance to use a new embossing folder I acquired - I just had to have it after seeing it out in blog-land! I don't do this very often, but I actually ventured outside of the Mother Ship for this one - it's called Cast Away, from Spellbinders (shhh!) It's GIGANTIC, lol, just like a couple of our own newest folders coming out in the new Annual catty - I could get used to this! Anyway, It seemed a perfect match with our retiring Waves of Inspiration bundle - the netting adds such a nautical detail! I kept it pretty simple with the posing pelican and this gorgeous sentiment - love it! Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set; Misty Moonlight DSP; Basic White, Misty Moonlight & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso Ink; Blender Pen; Daffodil Delight & Gray Granite Blends Markers; Spellbinder Cast Away 3D EF; Waves Dies; Rustic Metallic Dots; #TMR185.   Such a great theme this month at Aloha Friday Challenge #9 - "under the weather!" I decided to pull out my beloved Sending Smiles bundle for this one - another one for the retiring list this year, sigh. I have so loved all these sweet phrases - like the one today to send a little pick me up! I paired it with our new Thoughtful Journey DSP - so many more gorgeous watercolor scenes to play with again! I did a single purple flower to match the ones in my landscape, and built my "sending sunshine" sentiment - such a good thought! A few Purple Shimmer Gems finishes things off! Aloha! Sending Smiles Stamp Set; Thoughtful Journey DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Mossy Meadow, Blackberry Bliss & Daffodil Delight Inks; Sending Dies; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; AFC9.

Oo, I don't do many of these - The Flower Challenge #89 would like us to make a square card! I went to an oldie for this one - a couple of them! First up, I picked out my You've Got This set from 2018 - I have always loved this gorgeous flower, and the brilliant background stamp that comes with it! I even still had a perfect little mask for the flower still in the case, so I was able to do the floral stamping all one layer! I chose the colors based on the DSP I used to custom make the envelope for it - I had to break out the envelope punch board! I used this Petal Pink sheet for that, from our SAB Sunny Days pack, figuring it was pale enough to write on, at least. Then I colored up my blossom with my blends markers. A few Petal Pink Foiled Gems finishes things off. Love it! You've Got This Stamp Set; Sunny Days DSP (2024 SAB); Basic White, Early Espresso & Petal Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Pool Party Inks; Old Olive, Petal Pink & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Tasteful Labels Dies (retired); Petal Pink Foiled Gems; #TFC89.

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!
