 Goodness, we have quite a tall order from this week's Time Out Challenge #188! Household goods AND embossing? Eee! I really had a hard time with this one too, today, but then, today was the day the our beloved Sophie went to get her lip polyp taken off, lol. Poor baby. It's not bad enough you have to go get all dopey at the vet's, but then you have to wear the cone of shame for a day when you get home! Just no justice for a labrador, lol. We have three of these suckers, one for each dog, though thank goodness they haven't ever (yet?!) all had them on at once, lol. So that was today's inspiration - and watch the movie "Up" if you don't get the reference!

 So excited! Check out the fun colors we have for you this week at Fab Friday #212! I couldn't resist trotting out one last new set to play with, lol, I'm making it work if it kills me!

The dies have additional pieces for really creating a lovely landscape, and extra tree details, too. I'm also featuring our new Tailor Made Tags dies - I can't wait for you to see this one, too!

So excited for our sweet banded sketch at this week's Fab Friday #211! Another set leaving us soon is the playful Dandelion Wishes. I've so enjoyed this set! Besides the winsome images of dandelion clocks (does anyone else still call them that??) doing their thing, there's also some cute sentiments to go with, in such a fun font - they are definitely the breeze playing through the dandelion fields! I did a little study all in Smoky Slate, and made a pretty background just from the escaping seeds by themselves! I hope you have time to join us this week on our fun sketch - I'll look for your projects over at the challenge! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set; Smoky Slate DSP; Whisper White & Smoky Slate CS; Smoky Slate Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies; Frosted Epoxy Droplets; #FabFri211.   Well, of course I have to jump on Time Out Challenge #172's support for breast cancer, what a great idea! I have just the thing! I knew right away I wanted to use this little bra stamp in my ancient Fashion Statements set - from 2005! I think this is one of my oldest sets, lol. Anyway, it comes attached to the phrase "thanks for your support" which didn't quite fit, so I masked that off for this sea of flying bras! Then I put together my own sentiment with our Make a Difference alphabet set - this one has the tiniest letters we have, I think! I finished with a feature bra and a few pink pearls, fun and hopefully spirit-lifting! Fashion Statement (retired 2005) & Make A Difference Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Flirty Flamingo CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Flirty Flamingo Blends Marker; Layering Circles Dies; Pink Pearls; #TOC172.

Yum, loving these gorgeous Fall colors this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #348! I decided to take a little peek over the shelves for something that hasn't been out to play for a bit, and Special Someone was the winner! I felt like the two "browns" were perfect for a couple critters hanging out together, lol. I set up my little scene in the corner in Black, then went back and stamped in all my two-steps stamped off, for a slightly more muted color look. At the last second, I found some ancient retired Mint Macaron Enamel Dots to add as well - perfect and sweet! Special Someone Stamp Set; Whisper White & Mint Macaron CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Cinnamon Cider & Mint Macaron Inks; Mint Macaron Enamel Dots (retired); #HSS348.   Oo, CAS on Friday #184 has a fun one this week - make your card anything but white! Time to bring out the colors! My sleeper fave of our 2018 In Colors, I have to say, has been Seaside Spray. I'm finding myself going to it more and more - it's starting to rival Purple Posy for my affections, shhh! I decided to try for a one-layer card, and do my stamping in White Shimmer emboss - I'm a bit worried it's maybe too indistinct. I do LOVE the white against the Seaside Spray, though, and even though it's supposed to be CAS, lol, I couldn't help but add on some matching sequins. In two sizes. Shhh again... Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set; Seaside Spray CS; Memento Tuxedo Black (on envelope) & Versamark Inks; White Shimmer EP; Seaside Spray Sequins; #CASOF184.  Pumpkin Club July 25!

Oo, this is a fun one over at The Male Room #135 - "sentiment in focus!" It just so happens that my go-to Sorry for Everything set is also on the retiring list, sigh, and what a perfect big bold sentiment to feature! I kept everything a bit muted for a guy card, and matched up the "not feeling well" sentiment for this one - I already know who I'm sending this one to! The mix and matchability side of this set is one of the things I love about it - so many flavors of sorry, lol... I was able to sneak in this DSP background, too - I still have BOTH full sheets of it - yikes! Sorry For Everything Stamp Set; Come Sail Away DSP; Whisper White & Early Espresso CS; Early Espresso Ink; True Gentleman Button (retired); Linen Thread; #TMR135.   Man Cards May 16!

Don't we have a loving sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #444? So I know it's almost the great day of romance, lol, but you know me, I had to go off the rez, here! How about a big loving APPLE?? Lol. As soon as I saw our optional theme of using up scraps I knew I'd be headed straight for my pile of Tutti Frutti clippings - they're just so colorful and fun! What better shape to go with these than a nice apple, with a get better wish. Perfect! So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see your ideas, over at the challenge! Harvest Hellos Stamp Set; Tutti Frutti DSP (retired); Whisper White, Real Red, Lemon Lime Twist (retired), Early Espresso & Old Olive CSl Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Apple Builder Punch; #TSOT444.

Today I am honored and thrilled to guest design at my beloved CAS on Friday #172 - and it's a get well theme! Yay! I always start out by browsing the stamp shelves for likely candidates, and today I realized I haven't used my Dandelion Wishes in quite a while - I so love the images in this set, and the font used for the sentiments is so cheerful! I kept things as CAS as I could for the ladies, but I didn't resist very hard at putting threee teensy sequins to go with the wishes, lol. Soft and gentle folks - just what you're wanting when you don't feel at your best! I hope you'll join in over at the challenge - I look forward to seeing your designs! Dandelion Wishes Stamp Set; Whisper White & Petal Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Stitched Shapes Dies; Iridescent Sequins; #CASOF172.   Pumpkin Club January 25!

In{k}spire Me #412 is back with a fun combo challenge to kick off their 2020 - pretty colors! I really wasn't sure I could do both parts of this challenge, I have to be honest. In what scenario would all these colors work together?? How about in a pretty landscape, like, say, one made with the gorgeous new My Meadow set?? Yes!! I cut out a circle, and started building my scene. I've found in all these scene-builder sets, it works best for me if I start from one main focal image, and build out from there - today, that was the bridge. I got creative with some stamping off to mix in some shading as well, and I think it turned out great! I'm loving how all these pieces fit together! A quick sentiment, and few faceted dots, and we are set! My Meadow & Sending You Thoughts Stamp Sets; Seaside Spray, Smoky Slate & Whisper White CS; Smoky Slate, Granny Apple Green, Seaside Spray, Blushing Bride & Melon Mambo Inks; Parisian Flourish EF; Layering Circles & Ornate Frames Dies; Seaside Spray Faceted Dies; #IM412.
