Hi Friends
It’s time for a new Lawnscaping Challenge. This one features paper-piecing. This is one of my favorite techniques, so I love this challenge.
Our sponsor is Lawn Fawn, so the winner will get their choice of a Lawn Fawn set of stamps.
Here’s what I came up with:
I used Summertime Charm and Pink Lemonade Papers. It’s pretty bright, but hopefully it would bring a smile to the recipient’s face.

Hi Friends
I hope you are well. The blog has been super quiet, my break has gone on a bit longer than I had originally planned.
My mom was in the hospital with pneumonia, so I was spending time with her. I’m very happy to say she’s home and recovering. She’s doing much better. I am very grateful for this, we were all a bit scared.
Well, onto today’s project… Lawn Fawn and May Arts are partnering for a collaboration this week. Today is my turn to share a project. I went with a clean and simple design (which seems to be my go-to as of late).
I just love this chevron ribbon. I used the Lawn Fawn stamp set, So Much to Say with the ribbon. Any sentiment could work here (I’m always in need of birthday cards, so this will be nice to have on hand when I need one).

Thanks for visiting. Hugs and blessings

Hi Friends
I hope you are doing well. I wanted to share a card I made a while back for the recent Lawn Fawn Inspiration week.
It wasn’t posted during inspiration week but shared on the Lawn Fawn blog yesterday, so I thought I’d take the opportunity to share this today.
I used the Lawn Fawn Circle Stackables and Year One stamp set for the sentiment. But you could use any sentiment for this card.
I modeled this card after a purse I have. I don’t have a photo of it at the moment, but I will post one later so that you can see it’s nearly a direct copy of the purse!
Thanks for stopping in and have a blessed day

Hi Friends
It’s another fun day of inspiration for Lawn Fawn. Today, we are featuring Year Two, Scalloped Circle Stackables and Circle Stackables.
Here are the projects I came up with:
and another…..
Hopefully, I don’t need too many belated cards but nice to have on hand just in case. There are so many cute elements in this fun mini set that it doesn’t have to be used just for belated birthdays
Have a blessed day friends

Hi Friends!
I hope you are doing well. I am still on my blogging break but had to participate in the Lawn Fawn Inspiration week. Today, we are featuring the Quinn’s Capital ABC’s.
I was inspired to make a scrapbook page for a friend of mine whose daughter started kindergarten this last school year. Here’s what I came up with:
I hope you like, I don’t do a lot of scrapbooking, but I really want to do more. I have so many photos that I want to scrapbook, so hopefully I’ll get to it.
Be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for lots of inspiration from the design team.
Thanks for stopping by to visit
Hugs and blessings.

Hi Friends
I hope you enjoyed a great weekend. I have a few things to share with you today, but first I thought I’d share a card I made for the latest Lawn Fawn Inspiration week (this was on the Lawn Fawn Blog but not mine).
I just love the new Blue Skies stamp set (and coordinating dies). There are so many fun options with these stamps. I cut the sentiment so that I could stack it on my card. (Being able to cut the stamps is such a nice option with the clear stamps… I used to be afraid to do it but now embrace it because it opens up so many creative options)
Now, I do have some things to share with you.
Lately, I’ve been struggling with a lot of stress and not managing life very well. Thankfully, there’s nothing majorly wrong, it’s just a lot of things have been piling up. I’ve finally gotten to the point of being overwhelmed and over-stressed. I have a demanding job and had to travel a lot in the last few months. Plus, other commitments outside of work, and they’ve all come together to a point where I’m not doing anything very well. This has caused me a lot of angst, and it’s gotten to a point where I’ve just had to acknowledge it and get back on track.
One really important piece of my life that I need to get in order is spending more time in God’s Word and growing in my faith. I’ve been reading the Bible and going to church, but I’ve not dedicated enough to the Lord. As a Christian, Jesus is supposed to be the focus of my life, and I need to spend more time with Him in prayer and reading the Word.
I asked the design teams that I work on for some time off. Both Lawn Fawn and Lawnscaping have agreed and support me. I will be stepping down from Taylored Expressions Baker’s Dozen Design Team as of last week. I’m very saddened by this, but it is probably for the best. I have really struggled and failed to keep up and meet their requirements.
I hope that those of you who visit my blog will come back after my sabbatical. I do understand if you seek inspiration elsewhere. There are so many talented designers out there with inspiring blogs, so I am always grateful for the visitors I receive.
Even though I am planning to take June off, I do plan to participate in the Lawn Fawn June inspiration week because I already have some projects made. In the future, I will continue to share Lawn Fawn projects. I sure hope you come back.
Considering my news today, I figured today’s card was appropriate. I know that blue skies are ahead. God is in control, and I will be trusting in Him.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and for stopping by.
Hugs and blessings
Nette
