![]() Pucker up! We're all about the citrus this challenge at Hand Stamped Sentiments #420! It was fun to pull out and play with my Sweet Citrus bundle - I didn't even fire up the hybrid embossing folder, lol. I did some citrus outlines in Crushed Curry, and filled in with Lemon Lolly, with details and leaves in Granny Apple Green - yum! I also played with the little blossoms for the first time - so sweet! I floated it all over our old Layered Leaves EF from 2020 - just right! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for our fresh inspiration board this round - meet you at the challenge!

![]() Such a cool combo this round at In{k}spire Me #511 - I gotta get in on this! I went straight to our Circle Sayings set for this one - seemed a natural fit, lol. I decided to stamp most of my sketch elements, and used the "celebrate" circle and cupcake image for my main features. I very carefully water-painted some color onto the cupcakes, too - worked out perfectly! I added some solid dots that I punched out to round things out, and the little banner from the sketch, though my sentiment is actually in one of the circles - fun! I finished with a few tiny rhinestones just to draw in some light!

Tasty as they look, though, I STRUGGLED with these, lol. I finally landed on my It's A Science set, thinking I could make some different colored bottles, lol. Even then, I couldn't make up my mind for the background color! I made three different versions of this card, with Lemon Lolly, Calypso Coral and Tahitian Tide DSP - whew! I finally went with the Tahitian Tide, in simple stripes from last year's DSP stack - looks very lab-like, lol. I popped up a couple elements for some dimension, and realized that I could fit my sentiment on the clipboard. It still looks a little off to me, sigh, but I sat with it for a while and decided to set it free! I can't wait to see YOUR fabulous projects with these colors - put some egg on my face, folks!

To get myself started, I checked my retired DSP box to see if I had anything good and tropical - and as I hoped, I still have a bit of the Tropical Oasis pack! When I spotted this Calypso Coral sheet, I knew I wanted to go all flamingo instead of palm trees and plumeria, lol. So out came Friendly Flamingo! I made this pretty guy in Calypso to go with the DSP, but I did fussy cut this gorgeous jungle leaf to add some pop! This is my favorite sentiment for this guy, too - such great advice!

I had to pull out my On The Ocean set again, so many fun shapes in this one! I started from an all-over background in the stunning-but-retired Waves of the Ocean DSP - love the look of this paper still! From there I set up a nice block to set off my lovely tall ship, and I tried my hand at fussy cutting some foamy waters for some scene setting. I added some clouds and seagulls, and finished with a few Lost Lagoon Tinsel Gems - lots of blues today, lol. I'm also excited that this card can double as my team sketch challenge inspiration - woo!

On a hunch, I checked my newly-arrived Masterfully Made DSP pack for the colors - SCORE! There was this beautiful sheet of torn edges in Lemon Lime Twist, and a band of Azure Afternoon on another that worked perfectly! I did all my layers in Deckled Rectangles to go with the torn edges, though I couldn't resist a go with the spiral notebook edge die in the Gorgeously Made dies, too, lol. So cute! I went a little tilty, and added this pretty leaf sprig in Lemon Lime Twist, too, and stamped my sentiment in more Azure Afternoon. Simple and bright - just right! I finished with some White sequins, but they're kind of hard to see, hm... Gorgeously Made Stamp Set; Masterfully Made DSP; Basic White & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Azure Afternoon Ink; Gorgeously Made & Deckled Rectangles Dies; White Sequins; #CIC574. ![]() Excellent! AAA Cards #245 would like to see something masculine, and if we can sneak in monochrome, even better! I think I pulled off both pretty OK! I started by choosing my "masculine" set - though this is such a slippery slope, lol. I know at least as many chopper-riding ladies as gents, these days - maybe an Arizona thing? ANYWAY, Legendary Ride it is! I went with Misty Moonlight for my color - I had a feeling it would blend up soft and pretty for my background, but stamp bold enough for the chopper! I think I might be getting slightly better at my blending brushes, too - I really should use them more! After my blended band, I stamped and stamped off twice for a little movement, and added my sentiment. I couldn't resist some Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems, too - shh! Legendary Ride Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Misty Moonlight Ink; Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems; #AAA245. ![]() I'm so excited about our "food" theme at this month's Sparkles Christmas Challenge #151 - and relieved that we landed on an "anything goes" round at Retro Rubber #212 - whew! One of my favorite Christmas food sets is the adorable Sweets & Treats set from 2021 - so fun, and so fun to color! You could actually cover several holidays with this one, but the best image of course is the Christmas pudding! I stamped up my cloche and colored it with Pool Party to add the glass effect, then did my pudding on scrap so I could fussy cut it! Super yum, and I even Winked up the icing for extra sparkle! I hope you can join us at BOTH challenges for this round - I want to see your yummy holiday snacks, and favorite oldies! Meet you there! Sweets & Treats Stamp Set; Fitting Florets DSP (retired); Basic White & Cherry Cobbler CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow, Crumb Cake, Pool Party & Old Olive Blends Markers; Clear Wink of Stella; Cherry Cobbler Baker's Twine; Wonderful Gems; #SCC151; #RRCB212. ![]() Let's head out to the Final Frontier this round with our space travel theme at Make My Monday #206! I've been waiting for this challenge to get here, so I could finally play more with my Reach For The Stars stamp set - I've been using the heck out of the DSP, but I haven't really explored the image stamps yet. I couldn't wait to stamp up this space shuttle, and I wanted to add some color details to match the awesome cosmic paper! I think NASA really needs to start adding some Berry Burst racing stripes to theirs! I can't wait to see YOUR space-faring projects for this round - meet you at the challenge! Reach For The Stars Stamp Set; Stargazing DSP; Basic White, Lemon Lolly & Berry Burst CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Berry Burst & Pumpkin Pie Inks; Blender Brush; Berry Burst Blends Marker; Reach For The Stars & Tasteful Labels (retired) Dies; Rhinestone Basic Jewels; #MMM206. ![]() So fun - Can You Handle the Pressure would love to see something nautical this round! Hearing "nautical" sent me straight to my On The Ocean set - love the possibilities with this bundle! I also couldn't help but pull out my retired Waves of the Ocean DSP, too, lol - I think this crazy heat (even for us!) is driving all my thoughts to the sea! I added a Balmy Blue layer over my DSP, that I embossed with our new Twisted Rope EF, so love it! I think I might have covered it up too much, though, lol. I tucked in my ship and some clouds, too - stormy out there!
