 Wow, Festive Friday #182 has an awesome inspo list for Earth Day! So many great elements here - I went around and picked up a bunch of stuff from the list - then whittled down to this beauty! And I couldn't resist using my Country Woods DSP, either, lol. I finally settled on my old Sheltering Tree set from 2019 - and I still love it! This was one of our earlier photopolymer sets, and the possibilities for easily building a scene were thrilling, lol. I found this "frame" and rectangle tucked in my Deckled Rectangles sleeve, and decided to use these for my stamping surface! So cool to pop up the center once I was done - I had a fun time playing with layers today! And the sentiment - just right for Earth Day, too! I think I got Earthy Colors, Wooden Elements & Trees from the list! Sheltering Tree Stamp Set (retired 2019); Country Woods DSP; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Early Espresso, Crushed Curry & Cajun Craze Inks; Deckled Rectangles Dies; Textural Elements; #FF0182.

 Very fun - Inspire Create Challenge #190 has a monochrome challenge this round - any color we want! I couldn't pass up another chance to show off another upcoming set - and this one is a cutie-patootie! Here's a sneak peek at Poppin' By - a popcorn set! It has such cute little popcorn characters, and a striped bucket, too! And with the adorable dies - you can make shoes and shades for everyone, lol - adorable! There's also some punny popcorn sentiments, too, but we could make so many more, don't you think? I never would have thought I'd do a monochrome in yellows, but I guess I have the munchies, lol... Poppin' By Stamp Set; So Saffron DSP (retired); Basic White & Crushed Curry CS; Crushed Curry, Memento Tuxedo Black & So Saffron (retired) Inks; Poppin' By & Nested Essentials Dies; Lemon Lolly Rainbow Dots; #ICC190.   LOVE this rich color combo at this round of Hand Stamped Sentiments #460! AND, I've been neglecting Summer Splash - now's my chance to show it some love! This was perfect timing to show off another upcoming bundle, too - take a peek at Paper Tags, with comes bundled with some fabulous tag dies - that even LAYER! Wheee! I have to say, I am in LOVE with this color combo, and it made picking this particular tag a cinch, so that I could float on that little banner in a contrasting color, too! I found my woodgrain Pecan Pie in the To Market DSP pack, and had some fun playing with my two blues to go with - beautiful! It's also funny to me that Summer Splash is the only In Color ribbon I got from this family - very unlike me! Paper Tags Stamp Set; To Market DSP; Basic White, Pretty Peacock & Summer Splash CS; Pretty Peacock & Summer Splash Inks; Paper Tags Dies; Summer Splash Bordered Ribbon; Summer Splash Resin Dots; #HSS460.

We have an excellent banner sketch for you this round at Retro Rubber #252! I had a great time browsing through my retired shelves today - so many sets that haven't had ink in a while! 2016's A Nice Cuppa won today, but I have so many more in mind again now! I knew I wanted to put this long teacup stack with sentiment onto my banner - what else to do? I finally remembered that I still have an almost full pack of Tea Boutique DSP, and there are some wonderful bright tea sheets to play with in there! I wound up with this combo of Parakeet Party behind these sweet teapots! The teapots reminded me that I ALSO still have a lot of little silver pots from A Little Cuppa Embellishments - perfect! I made sure I hit the sketch elements, then tucked on a lemon wedge and a little teapot trinket - super sweet! Now I only need some biscuits! I can't wait to see what YOU do with our fun sketch - don't forget to make it Retro!

We have some yummy fresh colors for you this round at As You See It #345! I was really itching to ink up another new set, so I pulled out my upcoming Notes & Totes bundle - so fun! I managed the purples on the tote, with a retired Fresh Freesia DSP and Gorgeous Grape trimmings. I even slipped on a Garden Green bandanna - so many cool details in the dies! I did some Peach Pie speckle for the bottom of the card, to look like sand, and added a couple peachy shells, too, to reinforce the image, lol. This warm wishes sentiment seemed like the right one for my beachy scene, and I finished with some Garden Green embellies, too. So cute! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our colors this round, too - meet you at the challenge! Notes & Totes Stamp Set; Fresh Freesia & Garden Green DSP (both retired); Basic White, Gorgeous Grape & Peach Pie CS; Peach Pie & Gorgeous Grape Inks; Notes & Totes Dies; Garden Green Linen Thread; Garden Green Transparent Dots; #AYSI345.

So fun to update these! For some reason my eye caught on my Adventure Together set today - could I make this fit in the sketch? I couldn't help but transform the layered pieces to a little banner, but I did manage a triple of smaller elements below the camper - maybe sort of similar?? Anyway, I went where the images (and the dies, lol) led me! I colored my camper in a combo of Soft Sea Foam and Lost Lagoon - I'm loving them together, too! I made the camp chair and fire pit go with the camper as well - you know I love matchy-matchy, lol. I did a quick tie-round with some Beige Twine from our Essentials pack, too! Adventure Together Stamp Set; Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Garden Green CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Smoky Slate, Basic Black, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight. Soft Sea Foam, Lost Lagoon & Shaded Spruce Blends Markers; Adventure Together Dies; Pretty Peacock Foiled Gems; #SS772.   We're headed to the vineyard with our colors this round at Sunday Stamps #357! Yum! So, purples and green are my FAVORITE color combo, lol. What else could I do with these besides grapes? How about some cacti?? I quickly realized I wanted to pull out my old Flowering Desert set from 2019 - I love building my own crazy cactus with this cutie - we see some WILD ones here in Arizona! I started by laying on a purple combo of Blackberry Bliss with Highland Heather for the back cactus, then I did an Old Olive one on some scrap to fussy cut - I even added some Crushed Curry flowers! I added a cheery sentiment, and finished with a few Faux Glass Dots - clean and simple, baby! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our juicy colors - meet you at the challenge! Flowering Desert Stamp Set (retired 2019); Basic White CS; Blackberry Bliss, Highland Heather, Old Olive & Crushed Curry Inks; Faux Glass Dots; #SSC357   Yay! Somehow it feels like it's been forever since we did an "anything goes" round at Retro Rubber 251! I think I really need some chicken therapy today - time to call in 2006's Best of Cluck! These little crazies are just so fun to color, still! And who cares that there aren't dies?? I even like to fussy cut, lol. I started with my hen trio, making them as bright and cherry as I could, then adding different feather details with a White gel pen. When I pulled my chicken wire background stamp (1999!!) there was already this piece stamped up - pretty sure it's the now-retired Crushed Curry, but I'm cool with that! I added chicken feed to my Crumb Cake layer, and some chicken tracks across the bottom of my envelope - I had such a good time with these guys! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with - come join us at the challenge for Anything Goes! Best of Cluck (retired 2006) & Chicken Wire (retired 1999) Stamp Sets; Basic White, Real Red, Crumb Cake & Crushed Curry CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Crumb Cake, Berry Burst, Azure Afternoon, Daffodil Delight, Pumpkin Pie, Lemon Lime Twist & Real Red Blends Markers; White Gel Pen; Rectangle Stitched Dies (retired); 1" Circle Punch; Red Sequins; #RRCB251.

Shopping Our Stash #543 wants us to "think ink" - that is, use an ink-heavy technique - with abandon, lol! After a little though, I decided my heaviest ink applications come from stamping WITH a block, and I love the geometric feel to the finished stamping, too! So I pulled three retired colors from my stash, and went to town! I wanted bold color, with enough opacity that I could finish with a simple Black sentiment, so I went with Stary Sky, Tahitian Tide & Parakeet Party, and my three smallest blocks - so fun to just throw on random patterns! I really like how the inking came out, and for my sentiment, I went with our old Stepping Stones stamp set - I never did use it enough, lol. This Goethe quote cuts right to the heart of it, doesn't it? Stepping Stones Stamp Set (retired 2023); Basic White Paper; Starry Sky, Tahitian Tide, Parakeet Party (all retired) & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Starburst Sequins in White; #SOS543.

So pretty - time for another lovely sketch at As You See It #344! This time the set that popped up for me was Hot Air Balloons - what a great way to play with the shapes! I didn't realize, though, that even the smaller of the balloons was just a LEEETLE too big for that nice stack of circles - oh well! So I gave the center one a little jog to the right, lol. I think it still works! I made them nice and bright, and floated them over this cool cloudy DSP! I found it in my Pool Party scrap folder, so I don't know what it's called anymore - that didn't work how I hoped it would, lol. I think it was an old SAB DSP pack? Anyway, it all fits together pretty spiffy! I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge! Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set; Pool Party DSP; Basic White & Smoky Slate CS; Poppy Parade, Tahitian Tide, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Hot Air Balloons Dies; Blue Iridescent Discs; #AYSI344.
