Good for the soul



Good morning, I'm here with a reminder of our June challenge at We Love Stamping- the theme is SPORTS or HOBBIES or Anything Goes. There are 2 prizes of Visible Image Stamps.

I made a set of ATCs, using Distress Oxides for the backgrounds and to colour. Some of the stamps used are Visible Image, Drag & Drip and Make Me Smile sets, no longer on their website. I've also used stamps from A&C, Indigo Blue and Kelly Panacci. 

As always, there is loads of inspiration over at We Love Stamping- so go enjoy! You will also find full details of how to play along and the prizes on offer.

I'm home now after a very enjoyable holiday cruising on the Rhine, we visited some beautiful places, enjoyed watching the scenery go by and ate too much! The ship was great, very comfortable, good food and pleasant, helpful staff . We made new friends too which was a bonus. The only downside was the journey home. I never ever want to go anywhere near Frankfurt airport again!!! Complete and utter chaos- totally disorganised -queues everywhere, automated machines not working,  hardly any security desks open so queues didn't move, just got longer and longer, people stressing everywhere over missing their flights and trying to push in! Luckily we did get through in time but I personally have no intention of going anywhere in Europe until they sort out the EES and get rid of the ridiculous queues.

Thanks for stopping by, and thanks to everyone who kindly left comments on my scheduled posts.

Have a good day

Chris

  2. Beautiful and very artistic set of ATC’s Chris, great concept and beautifully executed. Glad you enjoyed your holiday and sorry to hear about the chaos in Frankfurt … the new procedures and resultant queues are definitely enough to make you think twice about booking a holiday in the Eurozone xx

  4. You made a beautiful, colorful set of ATC's.
    A lovely holiday along the Rhine. Too bad for you that it's over; it's lovely on the water in this weather. Bummer about the long queues at Frankfurt Airport.

    I think you saw that you won the Kleuren met potloden Challenge. But you haven't claimed your prize yet. If you have time, would you please email us before June 25th? We would also love it if you would like to be our Guest Designer. We look forward to receiving your email.

    Hugs, Astrid.

  5. Lovely grungy arty set of ATCs.
    Glad you enjoyed your holiday - shame the airport was such a nightmare. We had horrendous queues arriving at Dubrovnik airport recently - due entirely to EES procedures.

  7. Fantastic set of atcs and great mix of of the different stamps and making them work as one.

    Yes Europe is nightmare until EES is sorted out, such a shame as it puts a real dampener on a good holiday as everywhere just wants to get home to their own bed and not deal with hundreds of other grumpy passengers.
