Oh gosh, Addicted to CAS #222 is featuring my favorite design element - DOTS!
Just in case, I did a quick riffle through my stack of new sets, and guess what, there's a dotty swimsuit in our new Sunny Splash set! I loved these retro swimsuits as soon as I saw them, I think they have so many fun possibilities! I had to keep things as CAS as possible today, and I really tried, but a few extras slipped in somehow, lol. And just a tiny bit of fussy cutting. I featured our new Sweet Sorbet In Color, and had to finish with a Baker's Twine bow and some Matte Dots - yum!

Ah, how appropriate - The Flower Challenge #69 would like us to use blue and yellow on our cards this month, in ongoing support of Ukraine!
I haven't yet specifically done a color challenge for this, so it's good to contribute. I envisioned FIELDS of flowers today, all for Ukraine, and our retiring Tulip Fields set was just right for it! I went with Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight for my colors. I slipped in a little windmill, and the sentiment was all too appropriate for the occasion. I even found a few Pacific Point sequins to pop against the yellow! My prayers are with them, daily.

Yay - Make My Monday #176 wants us to show off some "summer fun!"
I KNEW I would kick myself for not getting the bathing suit set yet, lol! I finally dug out this super cute set from April 2021 for Paper Pumpkin called So Cool. I really wanted to see all these popsicles in our new In Colors - it just had to be! I did an all-over random layout of these guys, and just went to town with all my Blends - don't they look refreshing?? Too fun, and I just popped the "cool" sentiment right on top. Time for the pool now...

WOW! We have some super cute inspiration cookies this month for If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #169! Let's play some music!
I dug out my Country Livin' set that retired in 2019 - I kept this cutie just for the guitar, well, and the cowboy boots, lol. Next I looked for a likely sentiment to go with, and settled on this one Dragonfly Garden. I think all these bright guitars ARE inspirational, lol! I had some fun coloring them up in my Blends, and finishing with a Tailor Made Tag for the sentiment. I think it came out really cute!

Yummy! We have a juicy summer fruit color challenge for you at this week's Sunday Stamps #285! Does anyone else see the new In Colors??
Well, I definitely do, so I'm running with it, lol. This seems like a good chance to pull in my beloved Rainbow of Happiness set, too - I am SO SAD that this is retiring! This was by far our easiest rainbow to use, for me, anyway, lol, and it definitely will be getting a home on my retirement shelves! I kept things really simple, showing off those bold colors over our lovely Tahitian Tide, and pulling in my new Into The Clouds embossing folder. I'll have to experiment with making that more visible, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our fresh colors this week! Meet you there!

We have another fun prompt from Addicted to CAS #221 - stripes!
I decided to look through some of my new DSP packs for stripes - check out these beauties from Sun Prints! This is the pack that goes with Nature's Prints, so I decided to continue the theme, and ink up another stem, lol. This fern frond is so elegant! I tried to keep things fairly CAS, but that's so hard when I pull in a DSP - sometimes all our awesome coordination can be a curse, too, 'cause it makes me want to play with ALL the toys, all the time!

Oo, this looks fun - Festive Friday #110 has a great inspo list for us to celebrate National Best Friends Day!
With such an awesome list to choose from, I was able to squeeze in even MORE than three items, lol. What fun! I totally haven't given our soon-to-retire Garden Green house enough love, so here's my big chance, lol. How about pink greenery? I actually love how it came out, and all my choices helped me cover: feminine, pink, sparkle, friendship sentiment, patterned paper and ribbon. Whew! And I know just who I'm sending it to, too, lol.

Gee, I hope you're thirsty today! We are running a "beverages" challenge today at As You See It #276! Drinks on us!
I actually have all too many "drink" sets to choose from - what does that say??? Lol, not too much, I hope. One of my all-time favorites sets is this one, Mixed Drinks, from 2018. All the different glasses just slay me! And the garnishes - foo foo drink city! Gotta love it. I decided to pull out all the drinkware styles, in all the likely shades I could think of - and not necessarily alcoholic, lol. Mm, somehow I'm all parched now!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our thirsty challenge this week - meet you there!

What a fabulous theme this week at Make My Monday #175 - fruits or vegetables! Yum!
I've been reminded recently, a few times, about our wonderful (and retired!) Berry Blessings set. I couldn't resist pulling it out myself at last for today's challenge! I went all blackberry today, and had some good fussy-cutting time! I so loved the SAB papers we had at the time of this set, and I had just the sheet to show off still - purple and green forever! Lol...

We're trying some new angles this week at Sunday Stamps #284!
Well, a sketch like this definitely calls for some pretty DSP to show off and contrast - enter the Sun Prints DSP, which I finally broke in to! This is the stunning paper that goes with the Nature's Prints stamp set, and they are a match made in Heaven, lol. I snuck in a couple small stamps from the set, and the Fern embossing Folder (woot!) but otherwise, I let that DSP do all the hard work! So pretty!
I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch - meet you there!
