 Beautiful! In{k}spire Me #553 is back with their usual sketch and color combo, and I'm totally going for the sketch! A set, suite really, that has been burning a hole on my desk for some time now is the completely adorable Otterly Amazing. Just so sweet! It's finally time to break into that gorgeous DSP, and get some ink on it! I chose this pretty sheet from the DSP pack - they are actually both sides of one sheet - so perfect for the sketch! I also decided to fussy cut this handsome fellow from another sheet - check that little pink paw pad! I smile every time I look at this, lol. Anyway, I set him up on a little Crumb Cake Stylish Circle, stamped my sentiment below, and finished with a few of the Riverside Irregular Pearls - gorgeous!

 Oh gosh, how cute is this?? Festive Friday #175 is honoring National Winnie the Pooh Day! I'm so glad to know we have such a thing! While I don't have any actual Pooh Bear stamps, I sure do have some cuties, lol. I decided to go with this chonk from Fluffiest Friends, because he's set to retire soon {SOB} and I wanted him to get some ink time! He's the perfect fit for this one, too, since he has his honey jar front and center, lol, and it was super easy to add some bees, too! I chose this honey sentiment from Bee My Valentine to go with it - just a perfect pairing! From the list, I hit brown, yellow, red, twine, coloring techniques, bears, bees and honey! Nott to shabby, or is that sticky??

I'm just gonna say straight up - these colors are NOT for the faint of heart! We are kicking off with a bang! It took me a while to suss out an image that I thought I could do in these colors, that WASN'T flowers, lol. The yellow and the peachy-orange were tough! Then I thought, hey, they would make great umbrella colors! See how my mind works?? From there, I knew I just wanted to dress my rainy lady in the rest of the colors, which worked a treat! I experimented with the "rain" image in the Umbrella Days set, too - I love how so many of our patterns are made to interlock! Now, off to find Blackberry boots just like hers...lol. I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our fun colors! Meet you at the challenge!

I have just the thing from the upcoming Online Exclusive preorder, too, lol. Here's a peek at Detailed Succulent, a lovely multi-step set! It's so pretty, and being from Arizona, I really can't lay off anything cactus or succulent themed, lol. The shoe fits! Anyway, I also couldn't resist featuring this with some retired Soft Succulent details - made for each other! I started with a background of Soft Succulent for my beauty, then added a stamped-off layer of Highland Heather - it looks like so many of the plantings I see in the yards around here! I added a spray of speckles for some texture, and finished with my last 5 Soft Succulent Opal Rounds. Love it!

For this challenge, I got to combine a stash item with something brand new and upcoming! For my stash item, I remembered I still had a partial pack of the Bright & Beautiful DSP - and it has a few sheets that feature stars! I went with this pretty watercolor-y one in multiple fun colors! I also had a stack of pre-order stamps still on my desk, lol, and the one right on top is the Spring Corners bundle. I spotted this sentiment there right away, and even though I'm not really showing off the fun new traits of this set ("corners," anyone??) it just seemed too appropriate for this paper, lol. There was even this fun starburst die to go with that that complements the theme, I think. I finished with some Lemon Lolly details - I think maybe I need to give this color a better shake, lol. Spring Corners Stamp Set; Bright & Beautiful DSP; Basic White & Lemon Lolly CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Spring Corners Dies; Lemon Lolly Baker's Twine; Lemon Lolly Solid Gems; #SOS538.   Lol, so thrilled to kick off the new year with Farm Quest #67 - their latest challenge theme is for paths, trails, walkways or roads! Time for a dig! I could just barely remember that I might have some likely papers in one of my "landscaping" packs - which one was it?? I finally scrounged up my old pack of Meandering Meadows - perfect! This bold watercolor wash of a split rail fence trail immediately grabbed me, and I pulled out the accompanying Garden Meadow bundle for some extra details. A couple touches of pretty meadow flowers, and the PERFECT sentiment for New Year's Day, and we are all set! I even still have some brass birds and dragonflies to go with! May this year be FULL of blessings for all of us! Garden Meadow Stamp Set; Meandering Meadow DSP; Basic White & Melon Mambo CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Melon Mambo, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Garden Meadow & Tasteful Labels (retired) Dies; Brass Dragonflies & Birds; #FQCB67.   Time for a trip down memory lane - we want to see your favorite challenge from this past year at Make My Monday #242! After a peek at this year's past challenge, I went with #222 - Transport! It's perfect for showing off our latest upcoming Online Exclusive - Adventure Together! This stamp bundle comes with cute dies to go with the camper and camping accessories, lol - check out that tire tread! I couldn't resist pairing it today with my beloved Enjoy the Journey DSP, AND doing it up in fun bright colors! What a sight a Melon Mambo camper would be! I can't wait to see what challenge YOU choose from this past year - meet you at the challenge! Adventure Together Stamp Set; Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Calypso Coral CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Melon Mambo Inks; Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie, Calypso Coral, Smoky Slate & Pool Party Blends Markers; Adventure Together Dies; Melon Mambo Solid Faceted Gems; #MMM242.   We have such a fun sketch for you for our last challenge of the year at Sunday Stamps #350! I'm super excited to slip in some more sneaky peeks for you this round, too! Here's a little taste of the Storybook Moments Suite! There's two DSPs, two stamp sets, ribbons, dies, embellies - oh my! I went with this sweet gardening theme today - here in Arizona, it's never too early to start planning, lol. My background is a pretty pattern from the Storybook Moments DSP pack, and my images come from Storybook Garden Patch! The sentiment seemed apropos from Storybook Friends - we'll bring on the bunnies next round, lol. I finished with a few Antique Pearls! Just so lovely and fresh! I can't wait to see how YOU play our sketch this round - meet you at the challenge! Storybook Friends & Storybook Garden Patch Stamp Sets; Storybook Moments DSP; Basic White, Lost Lagoon & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Gray Granite, Lemon Lime Twist, Granny Apple Green & Real Red Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes Dies; Antique Pearls; #SSC350.   Our final challenge of the year is such a gorgeous sketch at As You See It #338! I couldn't resist dipping into my pre-order stack for this one, lol. I just couldn't WAIT to ink up Friendly Seagulls - coming soon to Sale-a-Bration starting January 7! Aren't these guys a riot?? I'm also featuring an SAB Designer Series Paper, too - this is a pretty non-conforming sheet of the Toadstool Gardens DSP pack - and it's going to go great with a new Toadstool set coming up, too! Anyway, I thought it made a perfect backdrop for these cheeky birds - always guard your french fries! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge!

Such lovely Fall colors for us at Cupcake Inspiration #607! I couldn't help thinking of our yummy More Than Autumn set for this one, but how to include the Crushed Curry? Why, Eggnog Doughnuts, of course! Are they really a thing? You better believe it! I've been through a few paleo doughnut recipes, and including eggnog is just the way to go! Once I got my first doughnut pan, I knew I needed another one FAST, and it's been a blast ever since! The best have eggnog in the batter, AND in the glaze! Super yum! They're even in the bakeries, lol, though those are fried, I think. Even better, lol...
