Morning Peeps, a new challenge at Allsorts where Mervis's theme is "Summer Blues". Our prizes for July come from from Oakwood, Sizzix, AALL and Create and Craft Stash, winners will be announced this Friday 28th July.
Above a masked frame, a stencil and sprayed with Oxides in shades of blue. The Arum Lily from AALL and Create Clocks and Flowers, little birdies from Friendship Florals and words from Power of the Word.
It's Christmas in July at the Snippets Playground so linking up with this one using a pretty old Penny Black Poinsettia stamp which was repeat stamped in the Timmy platform using DI's and spritzing between each stamping, then die cut with a coordinating PB die. The background is Oxides, some stencilled stars using texture paste and a sentiment from my Christmas Season stamp set.
My snippets and products....
Finally a tase of Azaria and Jordan's wedding last weekend, although the sun came out at times, the strong winds meant photo opportunities were limited and hats went astray more than once. But it was a wonderful weekend, the venue a Jacobean property once owned by Oliver Cromwell, now restored to a luxurious wedding venue with immaculate grounds, rooms and gardens. She's such a petite little thing and I still find it hard to picture her in a classroom of sixth formers teaching English.
At the top Azaria and Jordan and below myself and eldest daughter, Mum of the Bride.
Below Margo the Flower Girl, at 22 months nobody was sure how things would go but she was so good through the ceremony and meal. And at the end of the evening her dress still looked pretty much as it did here before the ceremony......we did prize the personalised glasses away in exchange for a basket of Rose petals.
There were two Bridesmaids but this is the best I managed on the day, above Azaria's SIL Faith and to the left big brother Zachary. The other Bridesmaid was Sister Anysia who can be seen in the photo below.
Have a good weekend everyone and thanks as always for your visits.

Summer and Winter both covered by your beautiful cards. Thanks for sharing photos of the wedding.
Beautiful cards depicting summer and winter,Your wedding pictures are beautiful
I do think you are using more and more Aall&Create stamps... But the way you do is a way I like them! The first is my favorite...
What a bunch of lovely photo's! Allways great to see everybody dressed up and having fun! And such a great way to see them later in an album and be reminded of a great day!
I hope you will have sunny days soon! Enjoy the weekend!
Two brilliant cards.
Thanks doing your homework and submitting the second card to the Snippets Playground (good to see your snippets too!).
Super wedding photo's. Everyone looks so happy although Margo may have stolen the show!

Your blue card is such fun with the stenciled panel and all the wonderful elements but I'm especially loving those poinsettias for Christmas. TFS all those wonderful wedding photos for a peek into your family fun! What a lovely bride, she barely looks old enough to marry!
Beautiful cards Brenda- the poinsettia one is stunning! Outshone this week by your fabulous wedding photos, everyone looks so happy

I love the wonderful cards but am drawn to the gorgeous wedding images. Oh that little flower girl is precious. Congratulations to the happy new couple. Looks like a great time by all at the wedding.
Ciao Brenda, due stupende creazioni anche oggi, la prima trovo sia perfetta anche per un uomo, la seconda è deliziosamente femminile e adoro sia le poinsettias che lo splendido sfondo con le stelle! Colori così vibranti e una bellissima palette!
Congratulazioni ad Azaria! Belle foto! Che splendida location e che bel vestito da sposa! :) Sono contenta che c'è stato abbastanza sole e che ti sei goduta la giornata. Margo è una piccola star, adoro come sta con quei grandi occhiali personalizzati!!! E che vestito, wow! :D
Un abbraccio, buon weekend!
oh my goodness what a wonderful photo of Margo and that amazing dress too. You already know I loved Azaria's dress.
Two wonderful cards, love the colours on the first one and great fussy cutting on the second one.

Loving your cards and techniques Brenda, your first, the images, so beautifully put together. I love your second with the beautiful sentiment and gorgeous colour mix. The Wedding photos are stunning, you must be so proud of them all. The venue looks like there are lots of wonderful places to stage photos. The meal looks yummy too.

Fabulous cards B - and so good that you skipped in to play just before the Playground gates closed. Poinsettias are always so perfect for Christmas - and your card is lovely. Great photos from the wedding - little Margo looks so sweet in those personalised sunglasses!

Two beautiful cards, Brenda. Thanks for sharing the photos of the wedding. It looks like you all had a fabulous day. I LOVE the personalised glasses! xx
Love the die-cut poinsettia (didn't remember PB did dies) and your mixed media card is always just right Brenda. But enough about the art... fantastic pics of the wedding. Azaria's dress, bouquet and hairdo are perfect, and she is stunning! Everyone is looking relaxed and smiling as well as elegant (especially mother and grandmother of the bride!), plus the sun made an appearance where you were! Sounds like it was an all-around success!!! x
Lovely cards Brenda, but must say the poinsettia one is stunning.
Fabulous photos of the Wedding, the bride looks beautiful. Love the one of Margo in her sun glasses, so cute.
