{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party - all is calm all is bright

 

Never say it's over until it's really over! LOL {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party currently has 1 hour left! As I sit here in my craft space with my daughter, crafting & chatting & spending time together, I didn't want it to end so I started to look for other things to keep me here continuing this shared time....I found more scraps! LOL

Because it's 11:06pm, it's dark outside, so no "good" pictures! LOL  I used an itty bitty from Unity that I have discovered is now retired.....called All is Calm all is Bright. I stamped it on the blue piece that had already been die cut. I used a water brush and some vintage photo distress oxide to shade in the deer.  The plaid and blue snowflake papers are back to back and from Echo Park Snowed In. I utilized the {BYSHC} Sketch 44 for this one! Lastly I added some enamel dots from Gina Marie Designs and that's it.....my last card for the 2026 Christmas in July Linky Party! And just under the wire!

Good luck to all that participated and I look forward to the recap next week! 

{BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party - Merry! :)

 

Well......what's one more card!?! All this pretty stuff still out from all the cards I made this week were just screaming at me to make one more card for the {BYSHC} Christmas in July 2026 Linky Party!

Paper is from a prize I won some time ago, so not sure what brand....the sentiment/image is from RAM Stamps! Remember when I mentioned that I print an entire page so I have extra....this is what I meant! :)

Colored with KingArt Alcohol Markers. While I'm not 100% satisfied with the bow/ribbon behind the sentiment I was working against the rain and the night! LOL So I'll likely go back and fix it later, but wanted to get the pictures taken before it was too late!  I also followed {BYSHC} Sketch 44!

So this card makes it an UNEVEN 15!

Sketch 44 - Last but not least!

 After a great week long Linky Party, BYSHC has a few more days with Sketch 44!

Our sponsor this month is RAM Stamps! This sweet penguin scene was printed, colored and fussy cut to create this sweet focal point!  All patterned cardstock is also digital from RAM Stamps!  The penguin set is called Christmas Penguins and the paper is called Snowy Christmas.

RAM Stamps has provided us with a discount code that is valid through the month of April!

Below is a visual of the sketch! There are still a few days left to get entered!

{BYSHC} Sketch 44

Welcome back and welcome to APRIL!! {BYSHC} sketch 44 is here! As was announced at the beginning of the year, each monthly sketch is going to be sponsored by one of our many friends! This month the sponsor is RAM Stamps! The prize this month will come from RAM Stamps in the form of a $20 gift card! To get you started on the RAM Stamp bandwagon.....they have provided us with a discount code! The graphic is at the bottom of my post!

This sweet image is called Holiday Birds. I thought this line of cute birds on a line was perfect to fit along with the current sketch! I colored with some alcohol markers. I only have two palettes so my colors are somewhat limited! :) The paper is also from RAM Stamps and it's called Snowy Christmas Digital Paper Pack. I added some clear plastic snowflakes (from the dollar store) and a sentiment strip from Unity Stamp Co.

Here is the sketch! It's good through the end of the month!
