Challenge #852 Blooms, Birds and or Bees

 Hello!

Hope you are all well!

It's Ellies turn to host over at Allsorts, and she has chosen Blooms, Birds and/or Bees.  You can use the Anything Goes option if you like.

I used blooms and bees!

I tried the technique where you smoosh an ink pad over one side of your embossing folder. This EF was call Distressed from SU. I am ok with it; but the first color I used was a purple, and it didn't speak to me! The crocus (and I had trouble with the stamens!) are Spellbinder, and the sentiment and bees are SU!Put is all together with glitter glue, which takes forever to dry, and a few foam pads under the sentiment!

The prize for this challenge Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Glorious Bouquet stamp set available from Buddly Crafts!

Go, see what the rest of the DT have created!

 Please remember, to be eligible you must provide name/makes of products used on your entry (our rules explain why), if missing entries will not be included in winner/Top 7 selections.

This is my first scheduled post so hopefully Blogger will do it's thing! I will be up north, then Bryson will come home with me, so no 'real Gail' posts until September! 

Talk to ya later!

We Love Stamping June 2026 Sports and Hobbies, or Anything Goes I think gardening is a hobby! 

I am getting ready to go up north!!

However, we've had a bit of excitement here! The kids are away for a week. We have been having horrible winds, and last week the wind broke a branch off the massive maple tree in the backyard. I asked Kalen about it before they left, and he said he wasn't going to worry about it! I said, well I am! We called it 'the Death Branch.' 

 

Kalen arranged for a friend (it's what he does) to come take the branch down. Was a massive branch off of the massive tree. You can see on the right there's a piece of plywood on the window. The window's new! The table in the forefront was sitting right where the branch is!

The branch is all piled up in a corner of the backyard, and I will clean up, and put the deck back together later this afternoon! I am filling in at Canasta today! I have watered the garden, and cleaned the front deck! It has not been very warm here!

Last Friday I had an extra shift at the Tuck Shop. I had an appointment in the afternoon, and a friend coming to make Pineapple, Rhubarb Strawberry jam. Told her to bring everything but the rhubarb. She came at 4, and by 5:05 we were at an art exhibition for one of the Canasta ladies! Was a busy day!!

Better go, talk to ya later!
