City Crafter Challenge Blog 418 ~ Seaside

This week at City Crafter Challenge Blog

Lucille has an inspiration photo for us, and she named the theme Seaside.

That immediately reminded me of my trip to Burano, although it is a lagoon and not seaside, but the inspiration photo for this challenge just make me feel so relaxed and in a vacation mood.

Here's a picture I took when I was in Burano. My camera had a good work out that day, and I picked one of the picture for my layout today....

patterned paper and some of the embellishment die cuts are from one of the kit I had long time ago, I do stamped the flower images from a HERO ARTS stamp set, and the rest of the traveling label are from Kelly Purkey Stamp set....

I used some of my newest favorite Nuvo Jewel Drops on this layout too, can you spot them?

Stop by City Crafter Challenge Blog and join in the fun!

Stamplorations CASE card

It is SUMMER here in Las Vegas, we are in the 100s today, I just want to stay at home and craft, good thing is that I am on summer break, my teaching schedule is mostly off except a few private students, therefore, I can spend more time crafting and blogging! YAY!

Stamplorations is celebrating their 5th birthday this month!

one of the fun going on there is to pick a card from the DT's sample to CASE, you know I like to do CASE card, so I picked Helen' Gullett's card from today's (6/3/18) post.

I used the same layout as Helen's....

I also used the stamp frame die from CUTplorations (Stamplorations)

the stamp is one of Shery Russ Designs.....

 I am linking this card to the CASE challenge at Stamplorations.

Thanks for stopping by.....
