OOooOO! Retro Rubber #128 has a fun color and love theme challenge going for us this week!
I totally knew the love set I wanted to resurrect is my beloved Wood You Be Mine? from 2015. This lumberjack has always made my heart go pitter-patter, lol, what can I say? I did a pretty pink background in some Pinewood Plank emboss, then colored and fussy-cut my man in his romantic colors, lol. He's just so cute! So fun!

Stitched Love (& Pumpkin Club Feb 29!)

Very fun! In{k}spire Me #414 is all about Valentine's! Still time for some sweetness!
I decided to go on a different track this time: the other day, I was looking at this chevron stamp when I used Believe You Can last, and I got to thinking about how it would be fun to play with color with it. Well, today's that day, lol. I did a chevron column in reds (only a tiny bit wavy, lol), with a couple heart clusters, topped off by this beautiful classic Valentine's sentiment from Heart to Heart. So fun! Now I want to try doing the chevron in all different colors, not just tones of one. The wheels are spinning!

Owl Be Yours

Now THIS will be a challenge - The Male Room #129 is "heart" you - I think using a heart on a guy card could be tricky!
I had to dig deep to find this baby on the retired shelves - and I still can't get over how much I love this set - Gift Givers from all the way back in 2011! I still have all the punches that go with it, too, lol. Anyway, even with all that love, I have NEVER used the little owl heart! So I made a quick woodland scene for my owl to perch in, and kept it simple. So darn cute!

Ah, we have a beautiful bold sketch for you on this day of love at Fab Friday #183!
I decided to do something heart related for Valentine's, and one of my all-time faves is this beauty from our Modern Heart set - love the geometric design style (with scribbles!), and the varied range of sentiments to go with - such a keeper! I decided to take my colors from the gorgeous Peaceful Poppies DSP - I love this sheet in particular for its combo of Poppy Parade & Rich Razzleberry - so unexpected!
So, what will YOU create for us this week? Can't wait to see your cards, over at the challenge!

OK, I think they got me this time over at The Library Challenge #52 - I've definitely never heard of Groggle's Monster Valentine, lol, but it looks pretty, uh, expressive. Definitely a fun Valentine's theme, lol.
The best monster I could come up with was from this past Holiday catty - Boo to You - and I figured I could get a lot of color in with this little guy with the horns, lol. I tried to do a take off of the cover itself - big pink heart, googly-eyes monster, lots of little hearts to go with - yeah, I think this is the best I can cobble together, and I'm happy to call him Groggle!

We're mixing it up again over at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #443 - fun combo! And I hope I can squeeze in our love theme from SU Only #242, as well!
With all that going on, it's no surprise to me that this card came out a bit busy, lol. I tried to tone down the paper choices a bit, but... Not sure how well I succeeded! Anyway, I still love my old Sealed With Love suite from 2017. There were fun dies, many varied stamps, and I think even this Sending Love DSP pack - can't believe I still have just a little bit of all of it! I tried to use all my stitched dies today, though, to help cover that aspect of the challenge!
So what will YOU create for us? I can't wait to see your work, over the challenges!

Good times! Joy of Sets #13's first grid of the year is UP! Let's do this!
I always have such a hard time picking my row, lol - took me half an hour this time! I finally settled on the diagonal Pearls - Hearts - Pink, especially after I realized could fit in my Love You to Pieces set - I love playing with the puzzle dies for this one! I don't think I've played with the heart arrangement before, though, and it's always good to get a chance to use ALL of what I have in a set! I couldn't settle on any particular pink, so I think I pulled most of them - and they actually look pretty nice together! A few pearls to finish, and we are all set!

Ah, time for a FAB New Year, and we're bringing in the yummy colors to start off right! All about the sugar plums at this week's Fab Friday #180!
So, in my pre-order frenzy, I really couldn't pass up the upcoming Detailed Hearts die, and since it's also bundled with the Heart to Heart stamp set, I went for them both! I realized quickly that these colors could be awesome for an early Valentine, and adding in some of the die-cut hearts in our colors really reminded me of the candy conversation hearts we see - yummy! I added a sweet sentiment over all my crazy hearts, and even finished with some of the new Faceted Gems that go with - I like my Valentines SWEET!

OK, there's still time for one last late Valentine, right? Because I want in on this weeks In{k}spire Me #386!
I pulled out my Nine Lives set to pull off one more love card - I loved this set so much I finally broke down and got the cat punch, too, when I saw it! Anyway, my kitty is all dressed up and ready for dinner out, with her pretty Lovely Lipstick bow and details. I tell you, this Sale-A-Bration foil has really helped me see the light on Lovely Lipstick now, and the Grapefruit Grove, though I didn't use that one today. Anyway, this stamp set makes it so easy to make pretty kitties! Love it!

The Note

Oo, another new title for me at this week's Library Challenge #26 - The Note - looks like a perfect romance read for the beach!
I could have sworn that I had a double-decker bus stamp somewhere that I had intended to use, but alas, that must have been my imagination, lol. I finally settled on our gorgeous pens in the Crafting Forever stamp set - perfect for a little note, right? I also went with this sentiment I built from teh Paper Pumpkin All About Everything set - very romantic, as the book seems to be, and I love the font to go with these fancy pens - I could imagine writing this with a good fountain pen myself, lol. I kept the design pretty clean and simple, with just a few touches of color, though I did add a few hearts! I think this one will go in the Valentines!
