World Photography Day 2023 will be held on August 19th. World Photography Day became so popular that in 2022, World Photography Week was introduced. On each day of World Photography Week, share a photo on the social medium of your choice that you’ve taken that has meaning to you, along with the story behind it, using the hashtag: #WorldPhotographyWeek.

Then, search for posts using the tag #WorldPhotographyWeek from August 12th to 26th on the social medium of your choice, and “Like”, comment and share the photos that resonate with you the most. If you discover a photographer whose work you appreciate, be sure to give them a follow on social media, as well!

I used the Stampin’ Up camera dies to make this card… wait, did you know we have camera dies? Oh, I guess the technical name is Stitched Radiating Dies. I’m such a fan of dies and I just see unique ways to use them. It’s one of things about stamping that makes my heart sing!

Measurements & Details

5-1/2″ x 8-1/2″ Basic Black Cardstock (CS) scored at 4-1/4″

Cut 1-1/2″ in on the score line on each side and cut away the two sides of the card front-you’ll be left with 2-1/2″ X 4-1/4″

Adhere 2-1/4″ x 4″ Brights DSP

Adhere (2) strips of 1/2″ Coastal Cabana CS to a scrap of Basic Black CS. Run through Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (SCEM) with the middle Stitched Radiating dies. This is how the camera is made.

The camera lense is made with the two Basic Black circles from the Stitched Radiating die and a 1″ Basic White circle in the middle. The large Rhinestone is retired, but you can use what you have.

Add 3/4″ x 1/2″ Basic White for “flash” and 1/2″ x 1/2″ for Basic Black for “camera button.” Add a strip of Basic Black on the back to get the button up above the camera.

Inside- 4″ x 5-1/4″ Basic White

Use sentiment of your choice. I used the birthday sentiment from Zany Zoo.

Brights DSP for coordinating envelope.

Why would I make a white, brown or gray fence when I can make a Melon Mambo fence? It showcases my white daisies so much better! I’ve never actually seen a fence this color and we do own a fence. I’m sure Steve won’t mind if I paint it. 🙂

So I’m an outdoor and indoor gardener. I have several indoor plants and really like succulents. Each year I like to give them new soil, freshen them up with some new plants and cut back any that have gotten too big. Because the price of succulents is so high, I bought one pot at Home Depot that contained several succulents. On my back deck I proceeded to take it all apart and redo all my succulent pots. These two are my favorites because our sweet daughter made these “blue jeans with a button” pots when she was in high school. I’m super happy with how they turned out. I told Steve if I bought these at Gateway Market they would be about $100 each, so I saved lots of money this week. 🙂 Do you like indoor or outdoor gardening? What is your favorite thing to grow? Please leave me a comment. I’d love to hear about it.
