 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! By Your Side & Simply Said Stamp Sets; Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Crumb Cake Inks; Gold Cording Trim; Gold Heart Embellishments; By Your Side Diecut; Distressing Tool; #AAAB64.

 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!

I'm loving our plum cozy colors at this round of Sunday Stamps #329! Today I needed a super quick (and super simple!) card to send out to a friend who just got some bad news. Don't you just hate to hear about that? I wanted to send a little note of encouragement along, and it just happened to fall on our color day at Sunday Stamps! What a challenge! I decided to keep thing fairly stripped down, and brought in Delicate Forest, which has WONDERFUL sentiments for giving a friend a hand up! I stamped off a tiny bit of stem-scape for the background, then did two layers of these pretty stems in two of our colors. The sentiment floats above in a third color, and I finished with some Solid Gems. I still have time to make the mail, I think! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty colors - meet you at the challenge!

I had some fun picking the colors for this one at As You See It #315! It might just be my inspiration pic, but these colors said SPRING to me, lol, so I decided to try out my new Excellent Eggs bundle! One egg to color and I cut out three more! This set has very fun dies - so many details we can add to three different sized eggs - the dies are totally why I got this bundle, lol. We haven't had a fun Easter Egg set for a while, and all the dots and stitching, the fun stripes we can play with - it was a must-have for me, lol. I had some fun pulling together this Bright Granny Apple background, and then coloring in the stamped egg - yum! I added a few of the fancy diecut eggs, and finished with some Melon Mambo Glossy Dots - such happy colors! I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our playful colors - meet you at the challenge!

Aw, such a cute one - Cardz 4 Guyz #337 would like to see Christmas elves or gnomes this round! I was a little shocked to realize that I actually don't have ANY elf sets or papers - how does that happen? So gnomes it is! I combined last year's Kindest Gnomes with the gorgeous Beary Christmas DSP - I think gnomes would totally wear this Nordic pattern, lol. I kept it fairly simple for a guy, but I DID finally use my very last 5 Adhesive-Backed Snowflakes - it's a big day! I love this little lantern gnome and dressed him all in green to go with his background. The Nested Essentials dies made for a fun shape to set him off!

This sounds like something to celebrate - Festive Friday #147 is all about World Hello Day! I really liked the choices on this inspo list - so may of my favorites! This ended up being one of my rare "no stamping" cards, too, lol - but I still love it! I went with bright colors using this stripey patterned sheet from last year's Celebrate Everything pack. I also added some Glossy Dots in Daffodil Delight, and used my Alphabet a la Mode dies for my "hello!" Got a lot in there, I think! I even rescued the center of my "O," lol, for just the right finishing touch, lol. Celebrate Everything DSP; Alphabet a la Mode Dies; Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots; #FF0147.
