HLS June 2021 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge...Brunette and Plaid Missees Hi

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2021 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge. Let's give our fabulous dies some star-billing on the stage!

I'm sharing another one of my Missees which I created to kind of-sort of look like me...hahahahahh. The hair style is about right, but mine is far shaggier and peppered with grey...a LOT of grey! Except for her face, everything is die cut! I LOVE Missees!

That's it from me! Check out what my talented teammates have created, then bring out 

your dies and join us in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS June 2021 Stencil Challenge~Anything Goes...PFS Slimline Stencil and Floral Hey You

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2021 Stencil Challenge, where we have free rein to show off our stencils in whatever fashion we choose. Anything goes!

From the stencil, to the flowers (ephemera), to the circle, to the sentiment, to the background panel, I've used all things Pinkfresh Studio. Even the ink is PFS!  Love it when a collection makes creating cards super simple! 

What stencils will you dazzle us with this month?

See you in the gallery!

Just Us Girls Challenge #587~Word Week...Thank You for being so Kind

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #587, where our lovely hostess, Lisa Kind, has selected *Kind/Kindness* as this week's word prompt. Seems rather fitting, given her last name!

 New month means a new guest designer. We're delighted to have Fran Wing joining us for June. Her card is ever so sweet, as are those by my teammates. If you have a chance to drop in at their blogs to leave them some love, that would be ever so appreciated. 

 Kindness and expressions of gratitude are always in style, so I paired both for my card. Once again, a Concord & 9th turnabout for the background and one of their (now retired, I believe) stamps for the sentiment.  Simple to make; the hardest part was selecting ink colours!

That's it from me; looking forward to how *Kind/Kindness* inspires you!

See you in the gallery!

HLS June 2021 Christmas Challenge~Anything Goes (optional: Tinsel)...Snowpeople Treat Sleeves

Hello!

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2021 Christmas Challenge. Anything Goes is always the theme with an optional twist which, this month, is Tinsel. 

No tinsel from me; rather I went with treat sleeves + labels/sentiments from My Creative Time. Of course, I couldn't leave the sleeves 'simple', so I brought out two adorable snowpeople from Your Next Stamp.  All kinds of little sweets can fit into these packages...right now, I'm thinking BIG cookies! 

That's it from me; please head over to the blog to see my talented teammates' festive delights.

Looking forward to seeing your Christmas makes in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

HLS June 2021 CAS Challenge~Bottoms Up...Champagne Cheers Tag

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers June 2021 CAS Challenge, where this month's theme is "Bottoms Up."

Because I don't have many wine/beer images in my collection, I was very tempted to colour a turtle, place him upside down, and call it a 'feel better soon' card. Alas, I don't have any turtles that would work well, topsy-turvy, so perhaps that's a good thing! Finally, I remembered a Colorado Craft Company set I've had for ages and voila...a CAS tag happened! The tag is from Studio Katia's Dotted Slimline set...so pretty! 

That's it from me! Please head over to the blog (perhaps with a favourite beverage in hand) to see how my talented teammates - Kylie, Lindsey, Anita, Charlotte (Lady Joyful), Ma-Mi,Bozena, Lynda (loopyloo), Julie and Ceal - interpreted this month's theme. A reminder that we're looking for CAS designs.

See you in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

The Color Hues Challenge #19~Blue and Brown...You are Perk-fect

Hello,

Happy June 1st - already! Welcome to Color Hues Challenge #19, where our lovely Nancy invites us to use hues of Brown and Blue as inspiration for the next two weeks. This combination suits so many occasions, especially masculine cards. Father's Day...it's coming soon!

My Simon Says coffee cups seemed 'perk-fect' for this challenge, especially in two shades of blue and sporting sparkly brown hearts. I paired them with brown + kraft cardstock and voila...done! A cute mini slimline ready, I hope, to brighten someone's day. 

Then, I decided to make a matchy-match envelope. The die collection for both the card and envelope is from one of my favourite companiese: My Creative Time)

Here's the card heading into the envelope and then the card tucked inside, ready to be mailed...

Please visit the rest of the team, along with our guest designer; they've created quite the array of dazzling delights with Brown and Blue:

Nancy

Hannelie

Cindy

Julie

Sheri

Kristie

Lindsey

Karen

The challenge is open until 9:00 AM (EST) on June 14th.

 The winners will be posted an hour before our next challenge goes live (June 16th). 

The overall winner will have the opportunity to be a 

future Guest Designer!
