![]() So excited to see a fun folds challenge at this round of The Male Room #199! I decided today to try out an idea I had for one of Online Exclusive preview sets: Long Time No See! The set has a little dachshund, AND a llama, along with a striped insert to use as an even longer neck or dog body, lol. How could I resist?? I tried out the dog first, and made this funky double-z fold! I had to get a little creative on the second "Z" so I could make the dog line up pretty good even when flat, lol. What a riot! Can't wait to try the llama! Long Time No See Stamp Set; Full of Life DSP; Basic White & Blueberry Bushel CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Blueberry Bushel Inks; Pecan Pie, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems; #TMR199. ![]() Paper Pumpkin Club on June 28 CANCELLED! It turns out that the weekend we would normally have Pumpkin Club is the same weekend we're headed back to Kanosh Labs to pick up our second puppy, River! We're all super excited, especially Ada, lol. We'll meet again for NEXT month's Pumpkin Club, Sweeter With You, while we get River settled in to our family! In the meantime, make sure to check out the video for the current kit, Full of Charm!

![]() Such a great sketch this round at Try a Sketch on Tuesday #670! I can't wait! After a little thought, I realized I could fit in our pre-order set for our Creativity Now event next month! We were offered the upcoming Peaceful Garden suite to go along with the event, and it will be released to all in the Holiday Mini this year. It's gorgeous, all soft blues and neutrals, with a mix of sentiments, and lovely dies, too. There's DSP, ribbon, embellishments and a coordinating embossing folder as well - and I almost forgot the glimmer paper mix! A lot to keep track of, lol. Anyway, I loved this floral sheet, and picked out the torn edge with the delicate wines and leaves in the dies. Instead of the ribbon, I went with some Night of Navy Linen Thread, and I finished with some Hues of Blue Flowers, but the white ones, lol. I think it all looks gorgeous over the Basic Beige, too! Peace on Earth Stamp Set & Dies; Peaceful Garden DSP; Basic White, Basic Beige & Night of Navy CS; Night of Navy Ink; Tasteful Labels Dies (retired); Night of Navy Linen Thread; White Hues of Blue Flowers; #TSOT670. ![]() Pumpkin Club May 31!

What retired crafting tool would you NEVER let go of?? For me, that tool is the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig! I even have multiple ones, in case anything happens to one, lol. I just love this little sucker! Once I got the knack of how to hold everything, it's the fastest way I know to quickly stamp something in a specific place, or on a little scrap, or whatever, and it works especially awesome on wood-mounted stamps, or red rubber! They can't all be photopolymer, lol. To show it off, I did today's tiled bunny layout using my SAMJ and 2010's Chocolate Bunny stamp - a single wood-mount that I can never let go, lol. Now, don't get me wrong, my Stamp-a-ratus and marker spritzer are firmly clutched in my OTHER hand, but I reach for my SAMJ all the time! I can't wait to see YOUR answers to this thorny question, lol - meet you at the challenge! Chocolate Bunny (retired 2010) & Hello Spring Paper Pumpkin Stamps; Basic White, Early Espresso & Basic Beige CS; Early Espresso, Pecan Pie & Crumb Cake Inks; 1 1/2" Circle Punch; Open Weave Ribbon in Fresh Freesia; Speckled Dots; #AYSI346. ![]() Pumpkin Club April 26!

Shopping Our Stash #541 is called "thrice as nice," and they want us to use at least THREE different DSPs on our card! Yikes! At first I was all in a tizzy - is that even possible?? Then I remembered the cute Fruit Salad card I did with the Everyday Arches Dies - now THERE'S a way to show off some DSP! How about a crisp and cheery version for Christmas?? I dug out my old Let It Snow Specialty DSP pack to choose some perfect patterns - love these sheets with the glitter detail on them! Then I stamped a nice big Christmas sentiment from Peaceful Season for the center seam - perfect! A few Glitter Sequins is just the right finishing touch! And if you count the envelope, I got SEVEN patterns on there! Woo!

A fun fold always gives such a good chance to show off some fun DSP in new ways - even the simplest of them let you play with shapes and layers! I pulled out a simple z-fold card today, and decided to go with the bright happy colors in Friends of the Ocean DSP pack! I hadn't stamped the lobster yet, so he got to come out to play as well! I went right for one of the color combos suggested in the catty - Summer Sky and Pool Party - looks so good! I really haven't been using Summer Sky as much as I thought I would - so nice to have some paper inspiration for it finally!

I couldn't resist dipping back into my ephemera stash for this one - I have so much left even after classes and tags! I have this one big sentiment that I've been dying to use - just makes me think of winter wonderland scenes, and blessed nights! So, I naturally paired it with my retired-but-still-adored O Holy Night DSP - so many great things to do with all the starry sheets! I added a tiny 1/8" Silver Ribbon for my bow, and finished with a few Silver Glitter Sequins. Simple and glorious! Joyful Sayings Ephemera; O Holy Night DSP (retired); Basic White & Copper Clay CS; 1/8" Silver Ribbon; Silver Glitter Sequins (retired); #CIC608. ![]() No Pumpkin Club in December!

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!

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!

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!
