Hey y'all, happy Thursday. Apparently this is my week to do double duty on certain challenges because I made two cards with the same sketch yesterday : ) Here's the first one:
We are going DEEP into the vault for this one! Check out the Retro Rubber Challenge:
Fall Whimsy (the leaf stamp) was one of the first stamp sets I ever bought; the oldest card with it in my Splitcoast gallery dates to 2006 but I think I've had it even longer than that, so let's just say it is probably approaching 20 years old. Print Pattern (the diamonds) dates back to at least 2006 as well; French Foliage is at least 13 years old, and Bright Blessings is a wheel that I unmounted and turned into a stamp set and it is also 13 years old. We are definitely retro today, and I very much enjoyed playing with these older stamp sets.
Speaking of Retro, Atlantic Hearts is going retro and revisiting some of their earliest sketches to celebrate their 600th challenge, so here's the retro sketch:
That is a classic sketch and I couldn't resist making two cards for it, so here's the second one:
I wanted a doggo-riffic card to send to my friend Krissy and this sketch made it super easy. I kept it really simple with this one, stamping directly onto the card base for both the dogs and the sentiment, then adding some ribbon from my stash. We might be visiting the Humane Society this weekend to check out puppers for adoption : )
That's it for me today, peeps. I'm going to work on getting a few more things listed on Ebay to sell...wish me luck!

I don't know which one I love more! I do have to lean towards the dog card because I just love dogs but fall is a favourite here too! Great cards, thanks for sharing! Thanks for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).
