Happy Little Stampers February 2020 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge~Happy Valentine's Day Mini Envelopes and Notes

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers February 2020 Anything Goes with Dies Challenge!

VALENTINES!  Yes, I'm frantically trying to wrap-up a whole lot (as in close to 40) mini Valentine's Day envelopes/notes for my niece's and nephew's classmates (these are for the gals in the classes...the guys will receive Vikings that I made a long while back).  The scalloped envelope is adorable and sooooo easy to make; the accompanying note card, incredibly cute! I'm sharing a smattering of what I've made so far...nearly at the half-way mark!

Back side of envelope + note insert...

A few of the others...

Please visit my teammates; their creations are wonderful and, if you have a moment, leave them some love. I know they'll be thrilled!

Looking forward to seeing your Anything Goes with Dies cards/projects in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Inkspirational Challenge #207~Inspiration Photo...LOVE

Hello,

Welcome to Inkspirational Challenge #207, where we're drawing inspiration from this heart-warming photo!

My card is pretty simple because "All you need is Love...da da da da da...All you need is love, love. Love is all you need... love is all you need...love is all you need."  And now you'll be humming this song allll day long. You're welcome! *grin*

The LOVE inspiration is obvious and, if you look closely at the photo, the letters are dotted. Hence, my choice for a polka-dot background. Easy-peasy with The Stamp Market's big love dies!

Just in case you need a little 'more' with your love, here's a second...with hugs!

My wonderful teammates have interpreted the photo in most delightful fashions. Please visit and leave them some love, which I know will be deeply appreciated:

Marina, Shauna, Pia, Marlena, Anila, Nonni

Looking forward to seeing you in the gallery!

Just Us Girls Challenge #522~Trend Week...Striped Thank You

Hello,

Welcome to Just Us Girls Challenge #522, where sweet Angie has selected STRIPES as this week's Trend Challenge! 

We are super thrilled to have incredibly talented Betty Jacobson joining us once again as Guest Designer! Please check out her wonderful card AND video; dazzle guaranteed! As well, please visit my wonderful JUGS team: Sue, Angie, Vicki, Ina, Bobby, Nancy, Lisa, Maria and Cécile. If you have a chance to comment, that would be a real treat; they would love to know you dropped by.

Stripes requested; stripes given! Patterned paper; a (subtle) die cut heart; simple stamped-and-die cut sentiment. Easy...and fun!

I'm also sharing my January cross-stitch accomplishment (goal is a little something stitched once-a-month). My snowman fits the trend perfectly, sporting his fashionably striped scarf and hat!  The material is sparkly; wish you could see it (but then you'd have to look closely and you'd see my lack-of-practice with back-stitching. Wonky outlines! Hopefully, February's creation will show improvement!).

That's it from me! Looking forward to seeing your stripes (whatever directions/patterns they take) in the gallery!

Thank you for dropping by!

Happy Little Stampers February 2020 CAS Challenge~Positive: Rooting for You!

Hello,

Welcome to Happy Little Stampers February 2020 CAS Challenge, where this month's theme is POSITIVE; a theme opened to a variety of interpretations.

I recently invited Concord & 9th's Rooting for You set into my collection (I think it's being retired!) and oh, how cute it is with a variety of plants, pots and sweet, uplifting letter-board style sentiments. I think this sentiment fit the theme to a 't'...hope you agree!

That's it from me; please head over to the blog to see how my talented teammates interpreted this month's theme. A reminder that we're looking for CAS designs.

See you in the gallery!

It's A Girl Thing~Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop (February 1 - 7, 2020)...You Bring Out the Beauty in Everything

https://myturnersyndromejourney.blogspot.com/

Welcome to my project for the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness 2nd Annual Blog Hop!

Turner Syndrome is a genetic disorder where a female is born with only one X chromosome, instead of two, leaving her with life-long medical issues and learning disabilities. This condition occurs one in 2,500 female births worldwide, but is more common among pregnancies that do not survive to full
term. 

That is why Turner Syndrome Females are considered MIRACLES!

Thirty-six caring Sponsors and seven DT Members have partnered with us to bring Turner Syndrome Awareness to the Public. For details on how you might win any of these fabulous prizes, please see Lori's TS home page. Prize Winners will be announced on February 15, 2020.

Thanks for learning about Turner Syndrome.

Seven talented and caring designers are offering prizes on their personal blogs as well:

My TS related project is inspired by the TSA official inspiration board:

The butterfly and heart flower caught my eye, so I combined the two; a butterfly cut from floral paper.  I think the sentiment is fitting, given how these girls and women face an array of challenges, yet still find ways to brighten spirits and encourage others with their positive attitudes, perseverance and resilience. They truly are inspiring!

Please visit the "It's A Girl Thing" Turner Syndrome Awareness Blog Hop 2020 page to become eligible for the fabulous prizes!

Thank you for dropping by!

Uniko 8th Birthday Linky Party...Block Party Birthday Frameless Shaker

Hello,

Welcome to Uniko's 8th Birthday Party and a month-long celebration that includes a NEW release and LOADS of inspiration from Bev and the Brand Ambassadors! (Isn't that a cool logo..perhaps it's a 'hint' of something coming soon *grin*)

Festivities begin today with an invitation to join our linky PARTY! Simply create a birthday card - any style and any product - and link it to the blog here. If you don't have a blog, you can link your card from other social media sites or email it directly to Bev.

My birthday card features my new 'favourite' shaker style - frameless - a technique inspired by the fabulous cards/videos by Ilda, of I Love Doing All Things Crafty fame. 

I stamped the delightful Block Party Birthday in three shades of ink, prepped the plastic page protector sheet as per Ilda's direction, added colour coordinated sequined and then...sealed the deal! It's that easy! The sequins have plenty of space to shake n' shimmy - and the relative flatness of the card makes for less-bulky mailing! Gotta love it! And yes...this is addicting!

As always, Bev is generous with PRIZES, totaling EIGHT chances to win:

• Main Winner Chosen By the DT - £25 eGift Certificate
• Random Uniko Stamps Winner - In Stock Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing (any value)
• Top 5 Chosen By DT - In Stock £5 Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing
• Randomly Selected comment from the Design Team Hop In Stock £5 Clear Stamp Set of Winners Choosing

Winners will be announced Sunday 8th March 2020 along with all the other 8th Birthday Celebration Winners.

In addition to prizes, Bev is also offering a fabulous 10% discount code -  celebrate8 - valid for the whole month of February 2020; it can be used on any order placed, even if you place multiple orders during the month!

Okay...time for you to get crafting! See you in the gallery!
