Four Seasons Challenge - Summer (6/2026)

  

Hello Friends

Over at the Four Seasons Challenge Blog, we are ready for a change in seasons! 
This months theme is:

Anything Goes - Summer

check out this fabulous inspiration board we have created to help inspire you . . .

 

Today's card was inspired by the beach chairs & umbrella.

I started by creating my background using TH distress oxide inks for the beach, sea & sky.  I then die cut my chairs from scraps of card stock using an older Impression Obsession die set called 'Adirondack chairs' (DIE177K).  I die cut the umbrella from white card stock and the two color panels using the same paper as I used for the chairs.  This was done with another older die set from Impression Obsession called 'Beach Umbrella' (DIE181-I). 

 The sentiment is also an Impression Obsession die #DIE689.

All the links can be found on the side bar. 

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

As always . . .

 

Neglected Stuff (6/2026)

 Hello friends!

Today I have a project to share that was created for our newest
NEGLECTED STUFF CHALLENGE. 

Click on the link then come join in the fun!

 

 

 

 Today's NEGLECTED item is my collection of border PUNCHES!  
And shamefully, they are truly neglected!

Once I started using the MANY dies I own, my punches were forgotten.

 

For today's card I started out with some (also neglected) Ken Oliver 6x6 'watercolored memories' designer paper.  After cutting two strips, I punched each strip using the Martha Stewart 'floral vine' punch and added a Simon Says Stamps sympathy sentiment in the center.  VIOLA!

 

 

 

Doesn't get much easier than that and look how pretty!!! 

  

Be sure to pop over and check us out then play along!
If you're a crafter, I'm sure you have some 'Neglected' goodies in your stash
that are just waiting to be loved!

You  have until the 28th to play along!

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!

As always . . .
