You Can and You Will

Happy Monday! Can you believe we're halfway through August? I don't know where this year has gone....school starts back up tomorrow and fall is quickly approaching here in southcentral Alaska!

One good thing about being halfway through the month? It's time for a new Blossom Challenge over at the Power Poppy blog! This month the theme is Sentimental and we're focusing on framing sentiments. Power Poppy has some great sentiments and we want to see them take center stage.

For my card I chose a sentiment from the retired clear stamp set M-Powering Words. The world is a challenging place, especially post-covid, and sometimes an encouraging word is all someone needs.

I stamped the sentiment on white card stock in yellow and then created a frame with gray card stock. For a little more "ooomph" I decided to make a shaker card so I went through my stash of sequins and went with a yellow/clear mix to go with my gray and yellow color scheme. Super quick and easy!

Check out what other members of the Bloom Brigade came up with and then play along for your chance to win a $20 GC to the Power Poppy shop!

Christmas in July

Happy Monday! It's time for a new Blossom Challenge over at the Power Poppy blog and this month it's all about Christmas in July. Anybody who knows me knows how much I love Christmas so I am thrilled with this theme!

For my card I went with one of my very favorite sets, Season's Greenings. I just love the little Santa in this set and so that is the image I went with for my card.

My card layout came from the current sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches. As soon as I saw it I knew I wanted to use it for this card!

Don't forget, by entering the challenge with a Power Poppy image you are in the running to win a $20 gift code to the Power Poppy store. How awesome is that? Marcy has also discounted all of the Christmas digi's in the Happiest Holiday Category. If you like the image I used on my card you can find it HERE in the store!

Head over to these fellow Bloomie Blogs to see what they created for Christmas in July!
