 Lol, I couldn't resist visiting my old teamies at Hand Stamped Sentiments #457 with colors like this! Beautiful! These colors totally remind me of the vibrant Friends of the Ocean pack, so I went hunting there first for some DSP - these Calypso stripes are just right! I still had this dotty scrap of first-run Lemon Lime Twist DSP in the vault, too, so I threw that on there as well, lol. I wanted to do something different than sea creatures, though, so I pulled my trusty Terrific Toadstools set and got to work! I did one in each color, fussy cutting the parts I couldn't punch - I think this little trio is so super cute - like a neon version of little dancing Fantasia ones, lol. So happy with these colors!

 Oo, check out this "ray of light" sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #664! So, today's card is what happens when hubby runs in and says, "Hi sweetie! Can you make me a REALLY quick golf thank you for that guy that took me golfing last week??" and the sketch on deck is TSOT, lol. What's a stamper to do? Of course, the only answer is, "yes, dear, give me a few minutes," lol. I quick dug out my old Country Club DSP, and the accompanying Clubhouse stamp set from 2020, and threw this together. SHOCKING paper contrasts, lol, but that's what you get in 10 minutes or less, lol. I did a nice poppy circle to highlight my golf-on-tee, and snagged a thank you from the trusty Simply Said set. Perfect! And fast! Clubhouse (retired 2020) & Simply Said Stamp Sets; Country Club DSP (retired); Basic White, Night of Navy & Poppy Parade CS; Memento Tuxedo Back & Night of Navy Inks; Old Olive, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate Blends Markers; Golf Club & Stylish Shapes Dies (both retired?); Smoky Slate Pearls; #TSOT664.   Hm, we have an unusual knit photo inspiration to play with at this round of Time Out Challenges #282 - wild! Since I just had out my Let It Snow DSP yesterday, I knew I had a red sheet with white flurries on it - did I have something for the black and white sheet? I went digging, and digging, and was just about to give up when I remembered that the BACKS of all the Zoo Crew sheets had a black and white pattern - yes! I picked this starry one as closest, and set up a layout the followed the inspo pic. What to do over it? Eventually I spotted my old Witty-cisms stamp set from 2020 - I finally decided the strawberry pun could work just fine! I stamped it up and colored it, couldn't avoid a touch of green for the crown, and pulled out my new Textured Notes dies - perfect! Love the edge detail! This worked out better than I thought it would, lol. Witty-cisms Stamp Set (retired 2020); Let It Snow & Zoo Crew DSP (both retired); Basic White & Real Red CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Real Red & Lemon Lime Twist Blends Markers; Textured Notes Dies; Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon; Peaceful Poppies Sequins (retired); #TOC282.

Check out this glorious tiled sketch at Sketch Saturday #768! What a great layout this is - I finally realized this one is PERFECT for using up all the little 1" strips I always accumulate in my DSP packs - brilliant! I didn't do as much layering as they did in the sketch - I have cold meds brain right now, lol - but I'm still super happy with the finished look! I trotted out some bold pieces of the Flowering Zinnia DSP, and fussy cut one of the fancy ones from another sheet - so fun! I also snuck on a few of our new Tiny Bee Trinkets - adorable! Simply Zinnia Stamp Set; Flowering Zinnias DSP; Basic White & Petal Pink CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Tiny Bee Trinkets; #SS768.   Such a fun planetary sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday #662! I knew I really wanted to use my new wonky Around It All Dies for this one - such crazy circles! I also went straight to our Toadstool Garden DSP - one of our fabulous choices in Sale-a-Bration right now! I managed three tiny toadstool scenes, lol, and added a little sentiment from the Terrific Toadstools set to go with! A few SAB Purple Sequins were just right for finishing things off! I love how this came out! Terrific Toadstools Stamp Set; Toadstool Garden DSP; Basic White CS; Melon Mambo Ink; Around It All Dies; Purple Sequins; #TSOT662.   Hm, AAA #282 has a new challenge style - it's called "follow my lead," and it's a sort of CASE challenge! I have to try it! I decided to pull my Thoughtful Wishes bundle for this one - the dies have all kinds of botanical stems and flowers in them, with just the right delicate touch, too! I quickly ran through a few likelies, as well as a couple hearts to layer from my Radiating Stitched Dies. I made a quick cluster out of the stems, then pop dotted my layered hearts over the ends. This left plenty of room for a tiny "thanks" sentiment, too - I didn't want to leave that bare! Quick and fun, it turned out! I might have to do more of these!

OK, Shopping Our Stash #539 has the CUTEST name this round - "glitter me happy!" And of course, the challenge is to use glitter, in any form! So, I initially thought I really wanted to use loose glitter - I so love the stuff, and I don't get to pull it out much these days, lol. BUT, this is for SOS! What kind of STASH glitter might I have? I went through my 12 x 12 folders and found this old pack of Rainbow Glimmer paper - well, maybe a few packs, actually. I love this stuff, but I found it challenging to use, because I want to show off ALL the colors, lol. Enter Everyday Arches (AND the envelope, lol.) I could do a cool background arch, float another one on top, and catch the rest on the envelope flap! Yes! AND, I finally actually used an arched sentiment - nifty! Everyday Arches Stamp Set; Rainbow Glimmer & Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Everyday Arches & Tasteful Labels (retired) Dies; Gorgeous Grape Glossy Dots; #SOS539.  Pumpkin Club January 25!

I love our whirling sketch this round at Sunday Stamps #352! For this one, I really wanted to break into the fruity sheets in our Sale-a-Bration pack of Fruit Salad DSP! This watermelon one in particular - the rind is on one side, with the juicy fruit on the other! Brilliant! Weirdly, I had to pull out two retired sets to go with it, lol, but I do love how it looks! First up is last year's SAB set Watercolor Melon, and I also added in 2021's Cute Fruit for the sentiment. A trio made for each other, I guess, lol.

Oo, LOVE our new color combo to start off the year at As You See It #339! This frosty inspiration pic totally make me think floral, which is not a typical direction for me, lol. BUT, I just couldn't help but wonder how our gorgeous Layers of Beauty bundle would do up in these colors!! I'm totally in love with how it worked out! I did my larger blossoms in the Berry Burst, of course, and the leaves in Smoky Slate, with the stamping in the Basic Gray. I managed just a smidge of Peach Pie for my small flowers centers! These masks make me look like an awesome coloring goddess, lol, I wish I could take the credit! I can't wait to see what YOU do with a fun frosty colors - meet you at the challenge!

I decided to do my stitching today with dies, lol, and show off some more new products at the same time! These cool stitched shapes are from our upcoming Online Exclusive bundle, Everyday Arches, and the dies include 10 nested arch shapes in graduated sizes - it's amazing! Each layered die has a stitched edge, so polished! The stamp includes lots of sentiments running around a curve, as well as a few that can go on the straight line, like the two I used today. Just a fascinating combo, I have to say! I'm also showing off some upcoming Sale-A-Bration DSP, too, called Fruit Salad - such fresh and yummy colors!
