How Does Your Garden Grow?

Hi Crafty Friends,
Are you ready for a new Fun Friday challenge at Your Next Stamp? Challenge #142 theme is How Does Your Garden Grow? Let's see those flowers, bugs, birds, summer garden scenes, picnics etc. My inspiration for you is a little scene using the NEW Tweet Spring Birds Set. The little birdies are having a garden picnic with their cute bug friends. My niece and nephew in PA have been having nightly picnics on my sister's porch or in the yard (see below) and the weather was finally 58 degrees in Ireland and my niece and nephew in Dublin got to have a picnic too (see below). Details on how to enter the challenge below!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: When is the last time you had a picnic?
A: Me? I think it was probably in college when my parents used to visit and we would go hiking near Ohio University and have picnics in the woods.







Supplies:
Your Next Stamp Tweet Spring Birds Stamp Set
Your Next Stamp Scalloped Rectangle Die with Piercing Marks


Comment on the Your Next Stamp Blog Post, Your Next Stamp Facebook Page, and Your Next Stamp Instagram for a chance to win a free stamp set, comments must be left by July 1st and the winner will be announced on July 3rd.  The challenge runs through July 9th at midnight EST.

To My Little Prom Princess

Hi Crafty Friends,
I LOVE Princesses! Don't you? This is Ella Swissie from C.C Designs who looks just like Cinderella. I created a castle scene with plenty of sparkle for her. My prom dress was actually very similar to Cinderella (see below), for some reason I only black and white pictures but my dress was Cinderella blue and my twin sister's was a navy blue.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What color was your prom dress? Would you still wear that dress today?
A: Me? Light blue and yes! I love that dress and think it holds up in 2020.
