Amazing Ostriches

So fun - Shopping Our Stash #533 has a "birds of a feather" challenge this round!
I really wanted to pull out some stash items for this one - and a big stash for me is all the tons of critters cut out of our old Zoo Crew DSP I still have, lol.  And wouldn't you know it, there's even a bird - a roller skating ostrich!  Yes!  So I pulled out three, just because I could, and got started.  I did this nice streaming background with my old Seaside EF, because I think it looks like the breeze is blowing back their feathers!  And the goofy fonts in our Amazing Phrasing set that retired in 2022 seemed like a good fit, too!  Last, I FINALLY broke into my Dappled Dots - still current, but I've been hoarding them still, I guess, lol.  Stash-alicious!

I'm not a pink girl, but I LOVE the look of our yummy colors this round at As You See It #321!
I wanted to show off these beauties in a delicate way, and our upcoming Thoughtful Wishes set really helped me do that!  I'm still a sucker for pretty stems, and the beautiful dies make this a joy to work with - there's even some pretty bonus dies in with this one!  AND, we all know I love mixed-font sentiments, and there are several included in the set that I'm not showing off quite yet, lol.  Water painters are so easy to work with, and I love the delicate wash of color they give!  Super yum!
I can't wait to see your lovely projects with our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge!

So cool!  Our theme this round at Make My Monday #209 is "in the city!"
I couldn't resist pulling in our new Let's Go Shopping suite for this one - so fun, and perfectly highlights all the best of city life!  Today's card is a pretty shaker, inspired by the catty, and designed for a special shaker class I have coming up!  So much fun building this cafe, and setting it on it's street - my little details pieces are actually cut from the DSP, though you can also stamp them!  And do you like that cobblestone DSP?  Just perfect!  I think the class ladies will like it, too!
I can't wait to see YOUR adventures "in the city!"  Meet you at the challenge!

So excited that we've rolled over to a new month for NBUS #52 - I have some new goodies to break in!
Today I decided to break in my new Vertical Blooms stamp set - I have actually never had any vertical sentiments before!  Of course, I'm starting with this little block stack instead of one of the true verticals, lol, but hey, I'm getting closer, right??  Anyway, I have to admit I took some inspiration from one of the catalog pictures, and started channeling this retired Tea Boutique DSP - I'm starting to feel little twinges about when this set of In Colors retires, and I still have so many goodies for them!  The little vine was a snap to put together, and I added some extra blooms at the top to round out the crown - love it!

I think I can JUST squeak in to this round of Festive Friday #115 - which celebrates International Dog Day!  Yes!
I have several beloved dog sets to choose from, and one my faves is 2021's Hot Dog!  There's a trio of cute wiener dogs to choose from, and they have a full wardrobe to go with, too, complete with a cone of shame, lol.  I kept things pretty simple today, and added a simple bow to this handsome fellow holding his love note.  I focused on neutral colors, texture (HOUNDstooth, get it, I so crack myself up!) and twine.  Well, and the dog, lol.  I even scrounged up a Playful Pets Trinket for the twine!  Party at our house on August 26!

Time Out Missing You

Wow, Time Out Challenges #219 has a gorgeous sunset beachfront pic for our inspiration this week!  Love it!
The gorgeous pic immediately made me think of our wonderful New Horizons DSP - so glad I still have some!  I started out with the little fronds that are in the accompanying On the Horizon stamp set, but went hunting when I realized they were too "short," lol.  I spotted the taller grass in my old Home to Roost set from 2019 - perfect!  I also realized the "missing you" sentiment would be just right for my quiet scene - it all just came together!

​Annual Catty Roundup Class, Aug 13 at 2 PM

Amazing Twigs

Another fun challenge from Less is More #468 - our cue this round is to "emboss!"
My instinct is to go white-on-white for LIM, but what folder to use?  Hey, how about the stunning Twigs & Sprigs EF that I got way back when our annual catty first came out and have still never used??  Perfect, lol.  This folder is so pretty, and make extra deep and detailed impressions.  It actually comes bundled with matching dies, the idea being that you could cut out one the twig shapes, and THEN emboss it.  Today I just did a simple strip that I could mount on the card front.  I went with this simple Phrase from our SAB Amazing Phrasing in Soft Succulent, which brought in a few matching Opal Rounds.  So sweet!

Hm, Shopping Our Stash #470 is having a "power of pastels" challenge - this should be interesting!
I started with the DSP on this one - I don't usually have much in the way of pastels, but, I do still have some likely scraps from our Heart & Home pack that I think fit the bill!  I even pulled out Honeybee Home to stamp along with it - love this pretty stem!  I heat embossed the sentiment onto some matching Fresh Freesia CS, and cut it out with the new Deckled Rectangles dies, which is when I realized I could cut ALL the layers with the dies, lol.  Sometimes I just work backwards, lol...

Very pretty - Less is More #461 is running a pink and gold color challenge this week!
I have to say, I immediately thought of our Art Gallery set for this one - that layering flower is just too tempting to add gold to!  I did some stamping and stamping off with Flirty Flamingo, and then added my gold heat-embossed detail stamp - so pretty!  I decided to heat emboss my sentiment this round, too, and finished with some tiny gold pearls.  So sweet!
