Hello to all my crafty friends. This post is a little different for me, but hopefully it will work out. I have been playing with the girls at Splitcoaststampers this week in the Dare to get Dirty challenge and boy has it kept me extremely busy! I am still behind so I’ve had no time for talking and sharing with all of you. So I am popping in to show you some of the cards I have been making and leave you a link to my gallery at SCS in case you are interested in seeing more.
Here are some examples of what is going on there this week:
A little Christmas in July with Memory Box Winterland Tree, Heartfelt Creations embossed pines and Inspired by Stamping.
Watercolor beach scene using Distress inks and Perfect Pearls. Sentiment is Verve.
A little play time with paper scraps and Doodle Pantry image and sentiment. Ribbons are Really Reasonable Ribbon and butterfly is StampinUp!.
New stamps from Inspired by Stamping, ZVA Creatives bling, Prima flowers, Martha Stewart border punch, lace, Liquid Pearls, and more scraps.
I am entering the yellow Hello card above in the Really Reasonable Challenge #53 Bling and Ribbon . 
There are lots more, but I will leave it to you to go here if you would like to see them all!
I also made these for:

Love your cards Ellen! Gorgeous! Hugs, Joanna
Ellen, Joanna featured your yellow card on Facebook --- it's drop dead gorgeous, girl! I LOVE it!
Hi Ellen, I just found your blog and am really impressed by your beautiful work. I went all the way back to Dec. and had a ball looking at your cards. They are so lovely and you use Rubber Stamp Tapestry which I don't see too much. I will be stoping again soon. I haven't done too much myself lately as I have been redoing my basement crafting space and it's a large space. The basement in unfinished so I can spread out, but I have to work with the previous shelves we put up 25 years ago when I had my business. So I have to find bins, etc that fit on those shelves. Have done that and now we are finally getting all the paper, stamps, embellishments unpackaged and putting them where I can work on them. I stamp and scrapbook and I love every bit that I do. I also have a blog -atgretchenscloset.blogspot.com.
Hugs,
Gretchen
