Friday Flashback: Sweet Serendipity

Happy Friday, stampers!  It is time once more for a Friday Flashback, and today's stamp set is Sweet Serendipity, a set of six cool sentiment stamps plus a few little images.  Let's go!

Also features Bronc Buster and Flannel Plaid

 I'd say riding a bucking bronco would be an adventure, wouldn't you?

The Sweet Serendipity stamp I used on this layout says "Live each day with laughter/enthusiasm" which seemed perfect with the picture of my friend Sarah on a carousel in Florence.

Also features Pretty Amazing and Pretty Petals

You saw this one earlier this year in the Pretty Amazing Friday Flashback.

Also features Happiness Always

And this one was in last week's Happiness Always Friday Flashback.

Also features Fabulous Flowers, Sanded, Paisley

 Oh hey, Fabulous Flowers had a Friday Flashback already too.  This is still one of my favorite cards.

Also features Snow Burst and Paisley

The sentiment says sparkle, and this card delivered!  The whole top panel is covered in Iridescent Ice EP, which is hard to photograph but looks awesome and sparkly in real life.

Also features Pretty Peony and Sanded

This was the first card on the Pretty Peony Friday Flashback, and it's another of my old favorites.  I love that Sanded background stamp.   That's it for the flashback part of today's post (and the flashback to prior flashbacks, if you followed all the links), it's time to see what's new!

I had Sheltering Tree out on my table for a different project so I thought I'd use it for today's post too.  I used the Fall-To Layout #22 from Clean & Simple Stamping:

And the softer color combination from Colour Me...!

But since I was on a roll in my craft room, and there was a whole 'nother color challenge on there, I had to try the bold combination as well:

I added a bit of Sahara Sand to both color combinations, I couldn't help it :)  For this one, I also used the sketch from the Paper Players:

Hope you enjoyed today's extra-long Friday Flashback.  Have a great weekend, peeps, we're painting again!

Friday Flashback: Pretty Amazing

Happy Friday, folks!  It's time for the Friday Flashback, and today's randomly-chosen retired stamp set is Pretty Amazing.  Y'all know I have a thing for hummingbird stamp sets :)  Let's rock and roll!

Also features Amazing to Zany

There's one ruby-throated hummingbird for you.

Also features Pretty Petals

The background stamp Pretty Petals coordinates fabulously with Pretty Amazing, so I use those two together a lot.

Also features Pretty Petals and Sweet Serendipity

That tiny hummingbird is a bit of a pain to cut out, I will admit.

Also features All Holidays

But it looks so good when it's fussy cut!  So there's the flashback part of the Friday Flashback, so now it's time for today's new creation:

And I fussy-cut the hummingbird again :p  And used Pretty Petals with it.  If it ain't broke, don't fix it, amirite?  I used the color challenge from Colour Q:

Quite the lovely inspiration picture there.  I also used the sketch from As You See It, but I'm too late to enter this over there:

So that's it for this week on Snapdragon Stamps.  Hope you have a great weekend!
