Hello Stamplings!
Goodness gracious me and bless my biscuits, these months are dropping over like outhouses on Halloween, 1-2-3-4-5-6- and half the eighteenth year of the first century of the third millennium is done, put to bed, lights out.
It makes a woman of my age mighty nervous, I don't mind telling you. So let's have all the fun we can then, shall we? To that end, it's time for this month's Twofer Card Challenge! Our prompt this month is TREES and these are my cards to inspire you:
It makes a woman of my age mighty nervous, I don't mind telling you. So let's have all the fun we can then, shall we? To that end, it's time for this month's Twofer Card Challenge! Our prompt this month is TREES and these are my cards to inspire you:
The palm tree stamp I used for both cards is from my NBUS "Totally Trees" set by Stampin' Up.

For my Thinking of You card, I embossed the three colors of paper with a waves die and then pieced them together to make them look like sand, sea, and sky. The sun is from Lil Inkers, the glossified Adirondike chair and sediment are from Technique Tuesday. The beach ball is a sticker.
(Looking at my card now, I realize that the size of my ocean wave is a bit ominous and if someone were sunning themselves in that chair they would get a very rude awakening in about one minute!)
Challenges
- Inkspirational: Power. I believe there is power in the sunshine and the seaside to relax and restore the body and mind. And to give you a sunburn, so be careful out there.
- SSS Work It Wednesday: Summer.
- The House That Stamps Built: Repeat Impressions DCC66: Summer vacation.
Twofer
Putting on his surgeon's mask, Hammy operated on the palm tree after noticing that the fronds would make a very dandy evergreen Christmas wreath! Right?! It was a fun and QACAS way to stretch the stamp, which is still useble as a palm tree.
Challenges

I hope you'll get the opportunity to play along this month! The challenge is open until the end of day on June 24th. Remember you can simply use the same tree as a conventional tree on both your cards and just change up your design! You don't have to get all jiggy with it!
- CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Masculine.
- Stamping Sensations: June = anything goes.
- TIME OUT: Holidays (twist: one layer).
