 I really like the theme at this month's The Male Room #180 - feathers! I know I have some cool ones! I thought at first I'd pull something from my Shelves of Retirement for this one, but then I remembered - aren't there some flies in the Gone Fishing suite? Those have feathers, right? Score! I pulled this fun sheet FULL of flies (the good kind, lol) for my background, and stamped up this larger one to add as an accent to my sentiment. I even gave it a little silver flash, and completed the scene with a hungry trout on the prowl! A few tiny first-run Misty Moonlight enamel dots finish things off! Not too bad!

 We're all about the "mod circles" this week at Retro Rubber #185! Hopefully I can make it tropical for SU Only #304, too! Hm, this was trickier than I thought it would be! I finally settled on creating my "circle" background with Swirly Bird from 2019 - I'm liking the effect! I went with Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, my two most tropical colors, lol. I then picked a pineapple for my big tropical feature - we have a dandy one in our old Timeless Tropical bundle, and I pulled the sentiment from there as well. Whew! I was able to squeeze on my very last two Tropical Oasis Trinkets, too - too mish-mosh?? It's working for me! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges, too - meet you there!

Today I get to try out another new (to me!) challenge blog! I'm playing at the Alphabet Challenge, where "T" is for "trees!" It just so happens, I have some brand new trees to play with, too! Here's a look at Paradise Palms, which also comes with a really well-planned die set, too! I tried to stay focused on the trees, lol, but I couldn't resist trying out the little decorative strip elements in the dies, too - I needed a splash of blue for my beach scene anyway, lol. I'm starting to feel Maui calling! Paradise Palms Stamp Set; Basic White, Crumb Cake & Pool Party CS; Crumb Cake, Just Jade & Soft Suede Inks; Palms & Stitched Shapes (retired) Dies; Wonderful Gems; #AlphabetChallengeTrees.   It's that fab day again - time for another fun sketch from Fab Friday #159! Won't you join us? Time to pull out another lonely stamp set - I LOVE the images in Country Livin'! And Well Said was perfect to pair with it - a cute and quick little retirement card, with fun coloring thrown in, lol. I have a friend who plans to spend his retirement restoring old cars - sounds like Heaven for some, lol... So, what will YOU create? I can't wait to see you over at the challenge! Country Livin' & Well Said Stamp Sets; Wood Textures DSP; Crumb Cake, Whisper White & Pear Pizzazz CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Cajun Craze & Old Olive Blends Markers; Linen Thread; Cajun Craze Enamel Dots (retired); #FabFri159.   Man Cards 2019
Yay! It's finally time for THE class for the men in our life! Sometimes it can be a little tough to "go manly" for our guys, but this class guarantees something for all our dudes! This class will feature 6 all-occasion "man" cards, without a doily or a butterfly in sight, lol. You'll have your choice of sentiments that most suit your needs, too! Class is $25, and provides all supplies (bring your own snips and fave adhesive!), drinks, snacks and a special gift from me! You can also take this class for FREE with your order of $30 or more! RSVP today! Class is still on for Saturday, March 16 at 3 pm. See you there!  There's a fabulous sketch for us this week at Inspire Create #35! So glad I have a stack of new stamps to break in! I sorted through my shrinking pile of new goodies (but another box is on the way already, lol) and the one I just really wanted to get inky was Beach Happy. Such a fun builder st! There's all kinds of two-step combos, from coloring in the umbrella and beach chair, to a two part palm tree that I just couldn't work in today, sigh... I made up for it with my beach tote and floppy hat, though, lol. The Seaside EF made a perfect background for me, and I finished with some sunny Glimmer Dots, too. I added this fun sentiment from the Well Said set, and Happy Retirement is on the inside - don't we all want to live it up for retirement?? Beach Happy & Well Said Stamp Sets; Coastal Cabana, Whisper White & Bermuda Bay CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Coastal Cabana, Poppy Parade, Mango Melody & Granny Apple Green Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Seaside EF; Crushed Curry Glimmer Dots; #ICC35.   Thank You Cards Class Feb 7 & 9!
I don't know about you, but I ALWAYS need Thank You cards! It's so handy to have a little stash on hand - and we have some gorgeous new sets for them right now, too! Class will include all supplies needed for 6 cards and envelopes (bring your own snips and fave adhesive!), drinks, snacks and a special gift from me, all for $25! Class could also be FREE with your order of $30 or more! Class is on for Thursday, Feb 7, at 630 pm, or, Saturday, Feb 9 at 3 pm! RSVP now to save your spot today!  The Library Challenge #24 has a brand new cover for us this week - Absolute Beginners. Another new title for me, but gotta love that yellow scooter! So I OF COURSE ran straight for Mediterranean Moments - one Vespa, coming up! I kept the card fairly simple, leaving the background black and white, but I couldn't resist popping up a fussy cut and colored cycle - it's so small, I wanted to add a little pizzazz somehow. I tried to use an accent blue that mirrors the book cover color, too, Coastal Cabana seems about right! I turned it into a Happy Retirement (inside, lol) card using Well Said - this is the kind of retirement I think I could get used to, lol... Mediterranean Moments & Well Said Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Ink; Smoky Slate, Basic Black & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Crushed Curry Glimmer Dots; #TLC24.   Happy Sunday! And you know that means that we're due for another fun color challenge here at Sunday Stamps #183! Just for fun, think I'll throw in Just Add Ink #417's "add a 'T'" challenge, too! Today I started by looking for my "T" image. I almost had to move to the retired shelves when I spotted my Country Livin' set - yay for trucks! From there, I quickly settled on this sentiment from Itty Bitty Greetings - and the whole arrangement is just right for a friend at church getting ready for the life of leisure - he even has an antique truck he plans on restoring! I can't wait to see what YOU do with our colors - bring it on! And see you at the challenge! Country Livin' & Itty Bitty Greetings Stamp Sets; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Tranquil Tide, So Saffron, Crumb Cake & Gray Granite Inks; Black Marker; Small & Large Oval Punches (retired); Black Baker's Twine; #SSC183; #JAI417.
