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! Gift Givers (retired, 2011) Stamp Set; Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party, Granny Apple Green, Real Red & Crumb Cake Blends Markers; Woodland Textured EF; Stitched Shapes Dies; Full Heart Punch (retired); Real Red Stitched Edge Ribbon; #TMR129.

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! Boo to You (retired 2019) & Sealed With Love Retired 2017) Stamp Sets; Purple Posy, Melon Mambo & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Balmy Blue, Lovely Lipstick & Purple Posy Blends Markers; Hearts Collection Dies (retired); Happy Heart EF (retired); Enamel Hearts (I think left over from the Be Mine Valentine Paper Pumpkin Jan 2019); TLC052.

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! Sealed With Love Stamp Set (retired 2017); Sending Love DSP; Whisper White, Basic Black & Blushing Bride CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Blushing Bride & Real Red Inks; Rectangle Stitched, Stitched So Sweetly & Stitched Shapes Dies; Pink Epoxy Hearts; #TSOT443; #SUOC242. 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! Love You to Pieces Stamp Set; Whisper White, Flirty Flamingo, Blushing Bride, Petal Pink & Rococo Rose CS; Flirty Flamingo Ink; Puzzle Pieces Dies; Basic Jewel Pearls; #JOSTTT013.

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! Heart to Heart Stamp Set; Whisper White, Rococo Rose, Highland Heather & Poppy Parade CS; Poppy Parade Ink; Detailed Hearts Die; Story Label Punch; From My Heart Faceted Gems; #FabFri180.

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! Nine Lives Stamp Set; Whisper White & Lovely Lipstick CS; Lovely Lipstick Foil; Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake & Lovely Lipstick Inks; Layering Circles & Sweet & Sassy (retired) Framelits; Cat Punch; Lovely Lipstick Glitter Dots; #IM386. 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!

Yay!) Here we go! Joy of Sets #002 is back with a special grid to celebrate the month of love, lol. Let's check it out! After looking over the grid, I decided to start from a weird place for me - I picked a square, and then tried to figure out which way I'd go with it. Today I picked "emboss," and decided to do the vertical from there - glimmer-emboss-white. Easy peasy! I browsed through my EFs, and landed on the retired Pretty Print, which I've always thought looked romantic, lol. From there I pulled out another retired goody, Valentine Defined - I love this tree! I snuck in some glimmer by punching some red glimmer hearts for some additional detail - it looks sweet, I think!

I wasn't sure I could pull it off for a bit there, but then I got to looking at my new Geared Up Garage set, and thought, hey, I could a see a car like that in Poppy Parade, lol. It was all over at that point! I played around, squeezing in all the details, and right up til then end thought it would be a regular old man card, but then that sentiment leapt out for my attention, and I realized I had a manly Valentine on my hands, lol.
