How cute is this cupcake??? I'm so excited to play along with penguins at Cupcake Inspiration #606! So you know I totally had to pull out my beloved Penguin Place set from 2022 - these guys are still SO cute! And of course I still have the DSP, lol, so I set up this pretty snowy scene for them to play in, complete with a hill for sliding, and a few tiny snowflakes! I kept the background and penguin details in Fresh Freesia - close enough to the pink in the snowflake, I think! So fun!

OK, this one is pretty fabulous! So many ways to go with Time Out Challenge #274's inspiration quote! After some thought, I decided to try a little bit of chalkboard action, but I also couldn't resist combining my older coffee sets with our yummy A Little Latte DSP, lol. I set up this fun coffee background, then created two coffee cups from our old Coffee Cafe and Merry Cafe sets - they work perfectly together! A pretty swirly cup with the "coffee helps" sleeve says it perfectly, along with the smaller woodgrain cup and a "you and coffee" phrase, lol. I think they look great together! I even finished with a few Swirl Dots!

Super fun - Shopping Our Stash #532 wants to see a Halloween scene! Yay! I knew right away I wanted to use my favorite dotty sheet from 2018's Frightful Sight DSP - such great colors! I combined it with 2019's Spooktacular Bash, for a chummy portrait block of monsters, lol. They're giving each other the hairy eyeball! It was fun to add a touch of color to each image - who knew there are Soft Sea Foam vampires?? Anyway, I also did the ornate back-frame for my sentiment - a bit of a clean-up job, but SUCH a pretty result! Later, Ghoulfriend!

Festive Friday #168 has a great choice for us - World Cardmaking Day! Now, you may have noticed, I seem to have Christmas on the brain these days - I so get that way once the Holiday Catty comes out, lol! So I couldn't resist going Christmas with this one, too, and I found just the elements to use in our A Little Bit Festive Specialty DSP pack! I chose this lovely ornaments card front, because I find red, darker green and vanilla very vintage. I added a "For You" sentiment with our Greetings of the Season bundle - the tag let me sneak on a bit of Jute Twine (that I might have stolen off a jar of apple butter from a friend, lol.) I finished with a few Very Vanilla Enamel Dots - I never get to use them!

I'm so super excited that this month's theme at AAA Birthday #64 is critters! I can never get enough of them, lol... As I was checking over my current critter section, I spied my remainder of the By Your Side kit - SUCH cute kitties and dogs in this kit! It was a generous kit, and I still have a few cats, plus one Bassett Hound, left, lol. I decided to use my last "tangled" kitty - isn't he the cutest? While I did use the included stamp set on the envelope, I pulled out my Simply Said set for my birthday sentiment - I can't believe how much I use this set! I gave him some Gold Cording Trim to wiggle around on, and also used the last of the kit's heart embellies, too. Since I was doing tone-on-tone layers, I also decided to distress my top layer - such a quick detail!

What beautiful cookies at this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #194! Aloha! This sent me straight to my old Timeless Tropical bundle from 2022 - I even still have some Tropical Oasis DSP! I decided to try my hand at a bold Hibiscus, to set off this sweet layered aloha included in the dies - I'm pretty happy with how it came out! I started with Lemon Lolly layered over the stamen, then added some bolder accents of Dark Melon Mambo to the petals, I then went over it all with a layer of Petal pink to soften up the darker accents, then continued to blend both shades of Mambo til I felt done. I did lighten a few edges with more Petal Pink to finish. I floated my "cookie" over a background of smaller hibiscus and plumeria - I can smell the islands now! I'm having quite the tropical weekend - yay! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set (retired 2022); Tropical Oasis DSP (retired); Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo.

The Male Room #187 has a great challenge for us this month - to use ribbon or twine! I went a little bit backwards in my design today, and decided what ribbon I wanted to use first, which was this first-run Mini Striped Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon - love this stuff! What guy card could I make with this one? Something in greeeeeen - hey, how about Sweet Peas again?? Bwahaha! Now THIS is the combo that I actually got this set for - look at that little frowny pea-face!! I crack up every time I even think of it, lol. I went back to my Full of Life DSP pack for a likely green sheet, and it all took off from there. Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green together are SO growing on me! So to speak, lol...

Ah ha - time for a new critter challenge at Critter Crazy #86! Yay! I'm back again at my awesome stash of Scan-n-Cut critters from my old pack of Zoo Crew DSP - so hard to resist! These little piping frogs, for example, daunted even MY love for fussy cutting, so it was amazing that the machine pulled them all out for me! There were so many, I decided to put together a quintet! Super cute with them all facing all different ways, too - and of course playing the birthday song! Just love it!

What a great quote we have to inspire us this round at Time Out Challenges #261! Love it! My favorite crafty quotes are still the ones from our Crafting Forever set from 2020 - so many goodies! I wanted to match it up with something else, though, and since my beloved Zany Zoo will be retiring TOO soon, I decided to check that awesome DSP for something likely - don't they have a crafty critter sheet in there? Turns out, they SO do - check out this knitting llama - isn't she adorable?? I had a hard time choosing between her and the painting hedgehog, lol. Anyway, I played with some Nested Essential dies, too - I'm loving the angles I've gotten here! My kind of llama!
