CCC August 2026

 Hello!

Hope you are well!

I will have delivered Bryson to his parents in Alberta. School for him probably started yesterday! Hopefully it was another summer full of memories! I'm exhausted! Hahahaha! Good thing I only have one grandchild! 

It's the second of the month, so time to see who sent what to who in the Card Chain Challenge! 

This is what we worked with!

 

Colour Palette Option

(Exact matching is not required.)

Sketch Option

(Orient as desired.)

Theme Options: Elephants and/or Mice / Baking / Friendship

Product / Technique Options: Lace / Collage

 

It was hard to photograph, as I used silver for pewter and it was shiny!

I also have glassy glaze on his glasses, which you can see. 

 

My card went to Pia in Norway! 

I used the colors (Loosely)

I used the sketch (Loosely) 

I managed a collage, (Loosely), a mouse (AALL and Create), Friendship (Gina K) and the sentiment is Lawn Fawn!

Once I had an idea, it came together!  I just wish it could have been sooner! Almost the middle of the month before I mailed this! Sorry Pia!

 

You should play!

There's still time to sign up for September!

Hello!

Hope you are well!

I have a card I made this morning, cause it is cold out! I have turned into a wuss moving to southern BC from northern Alberta! However, it is -12C feels like -20C! And there's a wind!

Anyhoo.....

I am linking this up at:

Krafty Chicks #652 - All Occasions

Simon Says: Anything Goes/ Showcase Gina K products/ This is a Gina K stamp, die and stencil set

How I stencil! Messily, like I do everything else!! Haha! Didn't cover EVERYTHING with my post it notes!! I just turned the panel over and started again!
 

 

 

 

 

Have a great rest of your week!!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe! 

Less Is More #474

 I made a card for the Less is More Challenge #474.

Twice!

Why, you ask?

Because it's a less is more challenge and I originally stamped the image on a cardstock panel!

I need a lot of work. Hahaha

Here's the card.

 

My stash of stamps & 'stuff' never ceases to amaze me!

First time this one was inked up!

I have other cards done, for different things, but I have stuff to do outside while the weather's nice. Then I'm tired!

I've also been packing stuff away to take north on my journey, and apparently I am going to a scrapbook retreat on my way home.

I have a bunch of card kits I can do, so those are going!

Never a dull moment.

Now, if I have a minute I'll color up the image I stamped on the panel! Hahaha!

Talk to ya later!

Stay safe.
