AOCC16 June
 

I know most people think of Father's Day when June rolls around. While that is an important day, for sure, I have another challenge in mind.

For generations the month of June meant June Brides... Being a June Bride was on every young girl's mind - at least in the days when women dreamed of nothing more than being a wife and a mother, just as their mother had been before them.

So my challenge for you is to create a very feminine card with a bride in mind. I'm sharing a couple of links to inspire you. This does NOT have to be a bridal card. Just let the theme inspire a card for any occasion you may need in the coming month.

SUO150 Patriotic Dahlia by Julie Gearinger - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Good morning, Everyone!
I'm slow to heal apparently. My right arm still doesn't appreciate the time I want to use the mouse so I'm taking my shifts in spurts. Probably a good thing Bob isn't back to work yet or I fear I'd be pushing the computer time more than I already am. Just anxious to get back to my 'normal' routine.

I'm going to pop around to cards. Anxious to see all of your lovely creations.

I love the sentiment. Left love on the card.

My Julia, you have been busy! LOL I'll bet you're taking a wack at that Stamp 2 Spend balance, aren't you? Keep going!

Here is another card for June (change the sentiment and it could be used for an anniversary or wedding card :-))

Kelly, here is my friend's card. She is the one we were praying for, and this is her first card in over a year! She came over today and we crafted together, just like old times!
She had made this card last night and brought it over to me today. I helped her upload it and included it in some challenges, this one, and a S2S challenge, too.

Wow, Julie. You are my hero. I can't wait for the time when I can stamp 1/3rd as many cards as you do. LOL Of course all of my friends and family will probably faint when they begin receiving cards :-)

Kelly, you are so sweet! I am on several design teams and stamping is my therapy for sure :-) I have been trying to mail more cards this year and not just create- thanks again for hosting this challenge and encouraging all of us to mail our cards- hugs!!

WT588 The Next Shot by Julie Gearinger - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Aww.... gotta love the way they tell us they appreciate the things we do/ make.

Great cards, ladies! I really need to get my behind in gear. I have to say it felt really good to make cards from the Paper Pumpkin and actually mail a card or two. Right now I just want to get all of the items into my scraprack. They are sorted, just need into pages and on the rack.
