Allsorts Challenge #826 Seaside or Anything Goes

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

Christine is our host and she  would like to see Seaside. There's also  the Anything Goes option.

 

 

I stepped out of my comfort zone, again; and dusted off my Stampscapes.  This one is The Light and The Sea set. It's #12. I got my inspiration here. I blended SU inks, blues and purple. Stamped with blue and black. The sentiment is from SU. 

Prizes this fortnight are from Grafton Crafts.

Go Sea what the rest of the DT have created!

Stamping Sensations June Our furry friends or Anything Goes 

We Love Stamping June Nature or Anything Goes 

I am in Northern Alberta to spend time with my grandson and his family. When I come home, I will bring Bryson and he spends the summer with me. We make jam, he's in some summer camps, because I think some of his summer should be spent with children his own age! He takes swimming lessons, we go to the river and the lake. Bowling, splash park, hikes, picnics...the list is long, and I am always exhausted when I take him back to Alberta to meet up with his parents! Haha!

So here's hoping blogger does it's thing; there will not be a lot of crafting with a busy 8 year old! 

Have a great summer everyone! 

Talk to ya later!

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed six impossible things before breakfast.” —Alice in Wonderland (1951)

 Hello!

Hope you're well!

 

I am squeezing in one more card before I head to northern Alberta!

The sentiment is SU, stamped and embossed, the background is from Forever in Time. Says Designer Fabric Crop-It Sticker. Was kinda interesting, and I came across it looking for something else! Isn't that how it goes!

Allsorts Week 825 What Makes you Happy/ Anything Goes

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

It's my turn to host over at Allsorts, and I have picked What Makes You Happy!? Flowers, Birthdays, Parties, Pets, the list is long! There is the Anything Goes option too! 

I just want you to know that waking up in the morning makes me happy!

Also, making cards for family and friends makes me happy!

 

I made a Diamond Point card that uses DP, a spellbinder die and a stamp from Printworks.
 

 
It was easier than I thought, so I made a Birthday card. With DP and an SCT stamp, stencil and die. Pretty sure I fussy shudder cut the sentiment. This fold is pretty eye catching.
 
Prizes this fortnight are 2 prizes of a Penny Black stamp and a die set from Buddly Crafts!
 
 
 
 Go see what makes the rest of the DT happy!

“Do one thing every day that scares you.” —Mary Schmich

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I did what the title says! 

 

I have not made ATC's forever! In less than 2 weeks, I have made 2!

It amazes me the amount of 'things' you can get on such a small canvas!

The background was sprayed with a copper glimmer mist. I used AALL and CREATE Coffee Stains stencil. The sentiment is from |SugarPea the Perfect Blend. The dies for the cup and topping, and other small stamps are SU, Latte Love. 

I am linking this up at:

Tag-Along (and ATC's) June Challenge Anything Goes Option is Drinks
