![]() Look at this sweet little sketch we have for you this round at Retro Rubber #224 - so many possibilities! Since all my teamies went with Valentines, I figured I'd just jump on board, lol. I pulled my 2019 Hey Love set for this gorilla, he fits perfectly inside a circle! I added on my sentiment per the sketch, all over our stack Poppy Parade DSP - I almost forgot we have all these hearts! A few Bubble Bath punched hearts to complete the look, and I'm all set! I even put the inside sentiment in there - "I'm APE over you!" I can't wait to see your cute Retro projects with out sketch - meet you at the challenge!

![]() Awww, I got to choose the theme this round at Make My Monday #219, and we're all about the LOVE - let's see it, sweethearts! I think I'll also throw in Cupcake Inspirations #587's colors, too - they're perfect! Now that I'm over my phobia for our fabulous new hybrid embossing set, Thoughtful Moments, I'm having a hard time NOT using it, lol. I HAD to use it today for this beautiful "love you" sentiment, which I daubed in Real Red before embossing onto Blushing Bride paper. So pretty! I found this gorgeous heart sheet in my old Sweet Talk DSP pack - this was my favorite one, I think, lol. I floated this large stitched heart from the Stitched Be Mine dies, and added my sentiment over that - simple and quick, but filled with love! I can't wait to see YOUR love projects this round - meet you at the challenge!

I found a few things I could work with on the list to get going, and picked my stamp set - the still-awesome Coffee With Friends! I don't have too many sets that feature actual people (friends know I'm a total critter addict, lol) but this this one is just brilliant! And has coffee! Lol. Anyway, these two friends raising a cuppa together on a park bench is my favorite image, and along with my favorite sentiment, makes for a sweet scene! So I think I got in bright colors, twine, people, maybe hands because we can see their hands, lol, and outdoors. And I got to color away, which I love to do! Definitely a fun one, and great for a friend! Coffee With Friends Stamp Set; Les Shoppes DSP; Basic White & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; SU200, SU500, SU600, SU900, Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Night of Navy, Calypso Coral, Lemon Lime Twist, Smoky Slate & Crumb Cake Blends Markers; Deckled Rectangles Dies; Crushed Curry Baker's Twine; Bumblebee Matte Decorative Dots (retired); #FF0152. ![]() Very fun - Shopping Our Stash #514 has a winter wonderland, OR, a white-on-white challenge going this round! Great choices! I decided to suck it up and do another winter scene, lol, but I do seem to be doing a lot of these lately! This time, I turned to my beloved One Horse Open Sleigh DSP to do the heavy lifting - I SO love this paper! I decided to feature the sheet that has this gorgeous winter fox on it, somehow I don't think I've used it very much. I even found a scrap with an extra fox on it in my pack, so I fussy cut the extra to bring in a little dimension. I added a couple trees from the gorgeous Pine Woods Dies from 2020, which I smudged a tiny bit with Crumb Cake and Cajun Craze. And I finished with my sentiment from Above It All stamped directly to the background. A few Gold Iridescent Pastel Gems add a touch of sparkle. Love it!

Awesome! I think I finally came up with something that will work - not sure I have anything that shows an actual PORCH, lol. However, I spotted this monochrome storefront sheet in my Les Shoppes DSP pack - with no goodies in the windows, it really does look kinda like a pretty housefront! Then I pulled in this awesome old porch rocker from 2005's Please Be Seated - one of my oldest stamp sets! I paired it with this most country of sentiments from Coffee With Friends, and it brings to mind so many summer evenings spent on the front porch as a kid, watching the world go by. Good times indeed!

I've been itching to build a landscape with our gorgeous new Hills of Tuscany set - love this style! I figured I had just enough room to do a snapshot scene on our largest Stylish Circle. I chose some of the brushed solids from our Fresh As a Daisy DSP pack - it all looks much darker than I had been going for, but still works, I think! I did try to add a couple brighter points of light with a few Champagne Rhinestones, though. It was fun to work through all these layers!

Love the purples! BUT, I think I'll take just the sketch this round, lol - all my purples are out in class supplies right now! On top of that, I took some, ah, liberties, with the sketch, too - I just wanted to make it all fit! I'm debuting my Wild Ferns bundle today, and let me tell you, there are some COOL dies in this one! I really wanted to use the largest of the pierced rectangles, and I could JUST make them fit if I turned them like this, lol. Maybe too blocky? Not sure on this one, but I swear I got the IDEA from the sketch, at least, lol. I did my fern fronds in three colors, and smudged them all with a Blender Pen, floating my sentiment in the center. A few Wild Wheat Glossy Dots finishes things off! Hope I've met the brief!

With all those cool elements, I knew I wanted to show off some DSP! What better one to showcase than our beautiful Perennial Lavender? I chose this neutral background for my gorgeous lavender field columns, then laid a few brushed up twigs behind my sentiment. I added some shades of purples over my various greens after I diecut them - I really like the effect! And of course, I finished with some Purple Fine Shimmer Gems - yum!

If I'm going to do a "winter" card (in blues, lol) it's definitely going to be a Christmas card! I decided a strand of bright blue bulbs would be just the thing - I am still totally smitten with our just-retired Merry & Bright set! I did my darkest accents in Starry Sky, and then stamped and stamped off bulbs in Blueberry Bushel and Azure Afternoon. Remember seeing those houses all lit up with only blue lights?? I used to love those, lol, but now I like multicolored ones - tastes change, I guess. Anyway, I was reminded of seeing the all-blue theme a few times - perfect inspiration!

I couldn't resist FINALLY inking up our cute new Sale-a-Bration set Watercolor Melon for this one! I normally wouldn't go for a set that doesn't have sentiments with the images, but it was FREE, right? Also, it goes with my new Modern Oval punch (yay!), AND, we have the mysterious new Thoughtful Moments hybrid embossing set chock-full of sentiments! I quickly set up my melon pieces and then tackled the new hybrid - I was VERY skeptical, lol. I did a trial run over the weekend in plain white (in front of my class, too, I was sweating, lol) but today I sponge-daubed some ink on my chosen sentiment, and ran it through for just the one - worked like a charm! Having the die go INSIDE the folder really takes out the smearing of inking the folder directly, because the die is between the folder and the paper - no smudging and I love the dimension! Can't wait to do more of these! I also can't wait to see YOUR layered projects for us this round - meet you at the challenge!
