I love all the fun layers in our landscape sketch this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #416! I to say, I'm also combining this with a little color challenge I issued to my team, lol - combine any of our newest In Colors with Blackberry Bliss! I think it works with ANY of them, but today I went with Wild Wheat, and I pulled out my preview set of Translucent Florals, too. Our blocky layers are perfect for showing off these color wheel opposites - love it! I layered up some DSP scraps for my background, and featured some flowers and stems on my circle - just right! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for this sweet sketch - meet you at the challenge! Translucent Florals Stamp Set; Fresh As a Daisy & Blackberry Bliss DSP; Basic White, Wild Wheat & Blackberry Bliss CS; Blackberry Bliss, Wild Wheat & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Translucent Florals & Stylish Shapes Dies; Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon; Wild Wheat In Color Dots; #HSS416.

Oh yes, I have been WAITING for this day! If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #181 is for purple - my favorite color! Yay! Since we're celebrating purple - at least I am, lol - I wanted to pull in multiple purple! Yum! A great way to do that would be to stack a big old ice cream cone, don't you think? Share a Milkshake to the rescue! I dipped into my still-standing-by retired colors and found a stripey sheet of Rich Razzleberry DSP, so I took my cue from there! I added a touch of Crumb cake, so I could cut a big waffle cone from the awesome Share a Milkshake dies, and then stacked scoops in Rich Razzleberry, Berry Burst & Fresh Freesia. I even finished with a "black cherry" in more Razzleberry, lol. Let's hear it for the purple!

I have another new combo from In{k}spire Me #507 to play today - LOVE both sides of this one! I quickly settled on So Refreshing for my stamp set - how not?? I am seeing so many lovely refreshing drink pitchers out there with it, limeade was NOT a big leap for me, lol. The only thing left to decide was how to fit in the rest of my colors! I did a background layer in black, to set off my favorite retired pattern of Pool Party DSP, then got to work on my limeade spread, complete with Crumb Cake tablecloth, lol. Such fun! I played a lot with stamping, stamping off, and even double stamping to get various shades of my Lemon Lime Twist - so easy with photopolymer! At the last second, I dug out a retired Have a Cuppa embellie to squeeze in - just right!

We're indulging in some sweet summer colors this round at Retro Rubber 208! For this round, I knew I needed to go back to 2018's Cool Treats set - so perfect! I stacked some ice cream scoops in my colors, and even snuck in our new Pecan Pie for the cone, and some Poppy Parade for the cherry - all about the food today, lol! I have definitely had ice cream on the brain this week - yum! I can't wait to see YOUR color choices in action - make it SWEET!

Yes, I broke my little cardinal rule (yuk, yuk) and got the Bird's Eye View stamp set, even though it doesn't have any sentiments in it, only the completely adorable images! These guys are hilarious, especially when start giving them all glasses to peer through! I pulled out this happy sheet from my stash of the now-retired Dandy Designs DSP, and did up a birdie trio to match! So fun to color! I added a birthday sentiment from Artistically Inked, though I have a feeling that I'll be pulling from some retired birdie sets at some point, too, lol.

Woo hoo! Show us what you got! I totally knew I wanted to combine two sets for this one - the perfect sentiment is from our new Fun On Wheels set, and I HAD to create the setting with elements from our just-retired Greatest Journey suite! I still love this DSP so much, and I am prepared for a long hoarding life on this one, lol. Anyway, I thought at first I'd do something with the fun skateboard from the set, but I wanted to go all extreme for our brief! I'd say this hot pink biker is going over the top! I can't wait to see where YOU head on your adventure - meet you at the challenge!

Since we've already broken 100 degrees here in AZ (sigh) when I think of something sweet, I tend to lean towards ice cream, lol. And my favorite popsicle stamp is STILL from the April 2021 Paper Pumpkin, So Cool! And my favorite place to stamp it is also STILL on the Ice Cream Corner DSP - LOVE those color washes! I did 3 of them today, in yummy colors, and floated everything over the pretty popsicle sheet, too. I used the Pumpkin sentiment as well, but I couldn't resist adding the little "hope it's sweet" line from the actual stamp set that goes with this paper, lol, Sweet Ice Cream. A few Glossy Dots finishes us off!

So excited - it' my turn to host the sketch at Sunday Stamps #310 this week! I decided to try a little stretch (for me, lol) and go for a square layout! The timing for this one is perfect - I have a dear friend who has a pen pal (remember those?) who is turning 96! Wow! She asked if I could make a special card for a special lady, and she had lots of details she wanted included. Purples, roses, textures, pearls, those are all by request, and they gave me a chance to finally try out the gorgeous Happiness Abounds set. I'm REALLY late coming to this one - I was letting it pass me by, when I realized, I somehow have no rose sets! Not sure how that happened, but this is a beautiful choice for that! There's also a very personalized inside panel, that really speaks to their loving correspondence. Such a privilege to create! I can't wait to see YOUR creations for this one, too - meet you at the challenge! Happiness Abounds Stamp Set; Basic White, Purple Posy (retired), Blackberry Bliss, Fresh Freesia (retired) & Rich Razzleberry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Fresh Freesia (retired), Blackberry Bliss, Rich Razzleberry, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Blossoming Happiness & Harvest Dies; Basics EF Collection; Gold Pearls; #SSC310. In celebration of their 9th birthday, AAA #240 is looking for a pink birthday card - no problem! I knew the lovely dies in our new Cheerful Daisies would be just right - so pretty to layer! I combined Bubble Bath & Melon Mambo for these - and I love the effect, lol. I kept my background white for the CAS brief, popped up my birthday sentiment, and finished with a few Melon Mambo dots - I think CAS is starting to grow on me. Just a tiny bit. Lol. Happy birthday, AAA! Cheerful Daisies Stamp Set; Basic White, Bubble Bath & Melon Mambo CS; Melon Mambo & Bubble Bath Inks; Cheerful Daisies Dies; Melon Mambo Glossy Dots; #AAA240.
