Challenge #69

Happy beautiful FRIDAY everyone and welcome back to Raise The Bar!
Yes, we are back in full swing with all the Bar-Tenders ready to take on new challenges with you. I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer thus far? I cannot believe that August is here, but we are ready for a fun new theme that we're sure you'll love:

ANYTHING GOES!

We want to see what you've been up to! Now since this is an open theme, we do have specifications and a few favors to ask:

1. Please link to NEW projects only, no backlinks to something beautiful that was created in July.

2. ONE entry per person please, as this is such an open theme.

3. Item must be craft related, whether it be a card, scrapbook page, altered item, etc. 

Are you ready for the fun samples? 

First up, our Guest Bar-Tender from our last challenge:

Erin Reed's gorgeous layout

And from our Bar-Tenders:

Anita's sweet back to school card

Jan's sweet anniversary card

Wanda's sunflowery sweetness

Thanh's summery homage
