We're bringing in the brights this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #418! With the Granny Apple and the Poppy going on, I couldn't help but return to my strangely compelling Hello Kiwi set, lol. For whatever reason, I am just smitten with these quirky images! I did a fruit extravaganza today, lots of kiwis and this time some raspberries thrown in, too! This set is also fun to stamp off with, too - the two shades for both colors add so much interest! This time, I used the eponymous sentiment, lol, stamped on a scrap of Coastal Cabana and just sliced off on the ends - quick and easy! I can't wait to see what YOU make of our fun colors this round - meet you at the challenge! Hello Kiwi Stamp Set; Coastal Cabana DSP (retired); Basic White, Basic Black & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade Inks; 2" Circle Punch; Matte Black Dots; #HSS418.

Excellent - Cardz 4 Guyz #325 would like something clean and simple! I'm slowly getting better at these, lol. This time of year around here, we have serious ice cream on the brain pretty much ALL the time, lol. So I couldn't get past my Share a Milkshake set today! For the CAS brief, I decided to make the stamping all one layer, though I did have to try that corner detail idea from yesterday again. Since I was keeping it all one layer, I knew I needed to be strategic about my colors, though I still wanted it summery! So I hit on a combo of Lemon Lime Twist, Pecan Pie and some details in Cherry Cobbler. Hey, these would ALL make great shake flavors, too! I did quite a bit of stamping off to get the shading right, and I'm really happy with the result!

So, hopefully, it doesn't have to be an outdoor HUMAN activity, lol. My Little Monkey bundle showed up right before I tackled this challenge, and I couldn't resist! I showed my little guy swinging from a tree, which is definitely outside! Because of the monkey I chose, I didn't get to use the nifty builder punch that's part of the bundle, but luckily I actually LIKE fussy cutting! I did some quick coloring with my Blends, and finished with some Rustic Metallic Dots. Oh, and Jane on the challenge DT had this awesome little partial layer corner detail thing going on her card - I had to try THAT, too! Thanks, Jane! Little Monkey Stamp Set; Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; SU100, SU300, SU800, Granny Apple Green & Lemon Lolly (on envelope!) Blends Markers; Rustic Metallic Dots; #AAA243. We've got our eye on you with this classic sketch here at As You See It #302! Today felt like a coloring day to me, so I looked for images that I could get my Blends on, lol. I realized that I haven't yet used the bench image in Coffee With Friends - today is the day! I kept my card pretty basic, and focused on all that coloring! I ran a strip of retired Granny Apple Green DSP behind my circle to bring on a touch of the outdoors to go with the image, and had some fun with my markers! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our sketch this round - meet you at the challenge!

Another fun combo out at In{k}spire Me #508 - check out all the new colors together! I wanted to try for both sides of the challenge, of course, and decided to go with Circle Sayings to get me started! Not an oval, but still, it works! I pulled in this sentiment from Happy Labels to go with, so I chose the seashells for my images - the beach is always a happy place for us! I worked out how I'd get all the colors in, too - I even still have some of the original release DSP in Lemon Lime Twist! In what has to be a first for me, I realized that these loose stripes worked better than polka dots - I can't believe it! I couldn't resist fussy cutting some tiny shells for the bottom of the sketch, and finishing with some coordinated embellies, too. So fun! Circle Sayings & Happy Labels Stamp Sets; Lemon Lime Twist DSP; Basic White, Pecan Pie, Lemon Lolly & Bubble Bath CS; Pecan Pie Ink; Blender Pen; Bubble Bath Blends Marker; 2 3/8" Circle Punch; Pink Sequins; Lemon Lime Twist Ribbon (from the Duo Pack!); #IMC508.

Nice - GREAT summer theme at this round's AAA Cards #242 - everything beach! I couldn't resist pulling out Seaside View from 2021 for this one - you know me, it's all about the loafing! I kept my image really pared down, but did a little fussy cutting to add some depth over a lightly blended background. I popped up this beautiful sentiment, and finished with some gulls to watch, and tiny pieces of pretty beach glass. Just the perfect day, if you ask me!

We're keeping the summer theme going this round at Retro Rubber #209 - time for your shades! I decided to keep the fruity theme going set my by teammates, lol, and pulled out my still-adored Cute Fruit set from 2021! I love happy fruit, lol. I did my favorites from that set and then couldn't resist an all-over background layer in carefully hoarded Tropical Oasis DSP, showing off some serious tropical fruit! Yum! Love all these bright summer colors! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for kicking off a bright summer ahead - meet you at the challenge! Cute Fruit Stamp Set (retired 2021); Tropical Oasis DSP (retired); Basic White & Early Espresso CS; Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight & Early Espresso Inks; Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots; #RRCB209. We're taking things "on the water" for our challenge this round at Make My Monday #203! In celebration of us FINALLY getting our 25+year-old pool refinished, I decided to keep my water close to home - the back yard, in fact, lol. Here in Arizona, having a pool is a slightly necessary evil (I know, 1st world problems, lol.) Even if you don't really want a pool, if you have one, you have to maintain it, ugh. We finally bit the bullet and got it fixed back up - no more crumbling stairs or bench, and a finish that holds its seal - yes! I hope I look this cute later this week when I go test it out, lol - I couldn't resist trying out the other dies in that rogue set I had to have from yesterday - putting them away now, lol... I can't wait to see YOUR water projects this round, too - meet you at the challenge! Happy Labels Stamp Set; Bright & Beautiful DSP; Pool Party, Basic Black, Blush Blossom (retired) & Berry Burst CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Simply Graphic Les Nageuses Dies; Berry Burst Tinsel Gems; #MMM203. Ah, what a great theme for summer at this round's Time Out Challenge #240 - "sportive!" Today I get to try something I almost never do - I'm showing off a set of dies that are NOT SU!, lol. I spotted these beauties at a challenge I played, and I HAD to have them! I was so excited that they arrived in time to make a debut at this challenge - I played with different images than what originally caught my attention. I paper pieced these diving beauties to coordinate with their playful floaties - a little more intricate than I usually see - what fun! It was a natural to pull out Sunny Splash for my sentiment! I was hoping for something sporty, playful and fun - sportive, that is! Sunny Splash Stamp Set (retired 2023); Fresh As a Daisy & retired Real Red, Pacific Point & Mango Melody DSP; Basic White, Real Red & Blush Blossom (retired) CS; Versamark Ink; White EP; Simply Graphic Les Nageuses Dies; Cherry Cobbler Matte Decorative Dots; #TOC240. Now this is a cute idea, lol! AAA Cards #241 wants to see hot or cold drinks! With it so warm here these days, I thought at first I'd be doing some tropical drinks for summer, lol, but then I realized this was a great chance to use a new image from my Coffee With Friends set! I've been wanting work in these two cups and croissants since I first spotted this set, lol, and this two-part sentiment is just right! It's all tidy enough for a CAS card, too, so here we are! Now I just need some Moody Mauve coffee cups in real life, lol...
