Happy 14th Birthday Allsorts


Morning everyone, an exciting week at Allsort as it's our fourteenth Birthday! 

Although I had lots I wanted to say to reflect on those fourteen years as part of the DT, as mentioned in my post Thursday, circumstances have clipped my wings. So it's a rather short post and the word Memories above sums it up in one.

We are going with the simple theme of Anything Goes and have a fabulous collection of stamps, dies and stencil to give away from the wonderful AALL and Create.


My top card uses AALL and Create Forget Me Not onto one of my Oxide backgrounds that can be found on a TRR USB and below Daisy Elegance and linking up at the May Path of Positivity inspired by Nature.


I really hope you will join in with our special Birthday celebration and look forward to seeing what you create although can't promise to do my usual and visit all entries, but will at least try a short C&P thank you, eyes permitting.

Love both of today’s cards Brenda, though I’m particularly inspired by the first one. I have just recently bought that stamp set, and I absolutely love how you have made the rainbow background - it really pops!! Happy 14th birthday to Allsorts, and good luck to everyone

Stunning cards to celebrate Allsorts' 14th Birthday! Beautiful stamps and backgrounds in wonderful colours. I'm sure you have many memories of your fabulous challenge blog and DT members (past and present) at least you don't have to look at a screen to remember them.
Happy Birthday to Allsorts- and all the team- and thanks for all the challenges and inspiration you've provided over the years.

Your card is so beautiful with the gold script and stenciled circles! The little tag with the sentiment is just perfect! So happy you shared with us at Path of Positivity! ~Katrina

Ellibelle said...

Both are so beautifully designed, wonderful backgrounds on each and loving that large flower!
Happy Birthday to Allsorts challenge. You've done a fabulous job over all these years running this challenge blog so smoothly and I can only imagine how much work it is to organize the fabulous prizes week after week. Well done, Brenda!

Love the color selection on the first card with the wonderful heart. The background stencil on the second card is so stunning. It is a terrific color combination.

HilaryJane said...

That's an impressive prize this week. Fourteen years is really very impressive. You background on the first card is truly amazing, love it. You have managed to create a real feel of dimension on your second card with that clever stencil blending xx

I love the rainbow background on your AALL & Create card. The detailed stamping around the edges showcases the wonderful heart silhouette beautifully.

The 2RR background looks great with the stamping. Love that bright bold flower and stencilling on your second card.
Well done on 14 years of running this wonderful challenge.

Ciao cara Brenda, immagino il dispiacere di essere tenuta lontana dallo schermo proprio in occasione del quattordicesimo anniversario di Allsorts. So quanto lavori duro per i tuoi challenge e quanto sono importanti per te. Ma hai un team solido e affidabile a cui lasciare provvisoriamente le redini della carrozza e questa è già una consolazione e una sicurezza. Abbi cura di te adesso per poter tornare ad usare la tua vista appena possibile!
Hai fatto due card bellissime per celebrarlo, lo sfondo arcobaleno della prima dà veramente vita e luce al bel timbro grunge e adoro l'uccellino posato sul pennino, sembra davvero riflettere la tua voglia di scrivere che per il momento è stata limitata!
Dolcissima la seconda card con la margherita elegante, lo stencil a cerchi e quel sentiment ripetuto sullo sfondo! Il centro del fiore dorato cattura lo sguardo e richiama così bene la piccola tag!
Ti mando abbracci e vibrazioni positive. E... Buon 14esimo Anniversario, Allsorts!!
