Happy August Everyone! TGIF Challenges has a beautiful color challenge to start off the month, including Pretty In Pink, Melon Mambo, and Daffodil Delight.

Welcome to the Stamping Sunday Blog Hop for July 2024. This month, our theme is Kaleidoscopic Depths — colors from under the sea. Our focus is on color and where we draw inspiration. When I think of the sea, I think of snorkeling and scuba diving. Some of my fondest memories are from trips to Hawaii, Tahiti, Turks & Caicos, and Cancun swimming in the ocean depths with brightly colored… Read More »
It’s Friday, and that means a new TGIF Challenge! This week, our theme is Christmas in July! It’s sooo hard for me to think of Christmas already.

Ha, while that’s not exactly… Read More »
