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
I couldn't resist this catch-all class to "round up" some stamp sets that don't quite fit in our other classes, lol. There will be a little bit of everything, with at least 5 all-occasion cards with envelopes today! I think some Sale-A-Bration could sneak in, too, lol! Class includes all supplies needed for your projects (bring your own fave snips and adhesive!) plus snacks and 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 announced for Saturday, August 13 at 2 pm - RSVP now to save your spot!

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!

Yikes, this might be a tricky theme for me this week at CAS on Friday #223 - hexagons!
I followed a hunch and found that I do still have JUST enough scrap of our old See a Silhouette DSP, the sheet that had the fun hexagons - yay! I carefully trimmed my piece down to focus more on the yellows - you can see from my envelope flap that this was some pretty colorful stuff! The paper seemed like the perfect background for this cute trio of bees from our Honeybee Home set, and I love this simple sentiment with them, too! Quick to put together today - yay!

Such a fun sketch we have this week at Fab Friday #209!
I think I want to pull out one I haven't played with much yet - I think only once so far! This is Art Gallery, and it's a lovely suite of brushwork flowers, papers and GOLDING FLAKES! We'll be playing with those in our Messy Class next month, but here's a card I did of piecing the flowers and stems together - I love how it came out! I added a few sequins to pull out the highlights, but stuck pretty close to my three basic colors otherwise...
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our sketch - meet you at the challenge!

I haven't gotten the chance to play here too much this year, so I am THRILLED to be able to sneak in on the tail end of Freshly Made Sketches #415!
This one was a tough one for me - I'm still feeling the call of Christmas, but I wasn't happy with my choices shape-wise for this one, and of course, me eye kept returning to these elegant pens in Crafting Forever, lol. That's when it's pretty much a done deal for me, I guess, as soon as my eye catches on something, I have a hard time letting go! Next on was the hunt for a good sentiment, which I found in the Well Said Bundle - I die-cut this outside phrase, and stamped the accompanying "far apart but close at heart" inside. I think this is the CAS-est Ive done in a while!

We have a spiffy landscape sketch this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #430 - and I'm thrilled to combine it with SU Only #234's coloring challenge!
I spent some time browsing the stamp shelves for a nice coloring opportunity to get ready for this card, and kept coming back to Cuckoo For You, which I think I've only inked up once, lol. Double win! I chose some sweet colorful DSP to set the palette and went to town on my little clock face. Can I just say, I love my Blneds Markers? Did you not know that yet? Well, now you do, lol...
I can't wait to see what YOU are inspired to create, over at the challenges - see you there!
