Missed you

Hi Friends,

Hope your week is going well. We actually had snow today. It was really coming down. It stuck to the ground for awhile but was melted by the afternoon, thankfully.  We have a bit of winter fatigue here. 

Onto today’s card. I made this a long time ago, and I’m pretty sure I’ve shared it on the blog. It’s a little different from my usual bright cards.

 

I made my own patterned paper using Lawn Fawn’s  Petite Florals, and then the main image is from Just My Type.  I just love the rose embellishments. They are such a nice touch, I think.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and blessings

Who Loves You?

Hi Friends,

I hope your week is off to a great start.

Spring has taken a retreat in Indiana. Rumor has it that we could get some snow.  So the calendar says it is spring but the weather is not up to speed yet.  That’s the way it goes in Indiana.

Onto today’s card. This card is using the Lawn Fawn Critters in the Forest and Jessie’s ABC’s.

Thanks for popping in

Hugs and blessings

Bundle of Joy

Hi Friends

Just a quick post today to share a baby shower card I made awhile ago.  I made it before I could share it because it was prior to the Lawn Fawn release of the stamps. (It is the Bundle of Joy stamp set which is way too adorable).  I did remember to snap some piccies of it so that I may show it to you now.

I am pleased to say that since this card was given, a healthy baby boy has blessed my friend’s family. 

Thanks for popping in.

Happy Birthday

Hi Friends

I wanted to share a card that I made using the Lawn Fawn set that is being given to those who spend $50 or more in the Lawn Fawn Store. The set is commemorating their one year anniversary. I cannot believe it’s been a year. It’s such a blast to be part of this wonderful company.

I embossed the cake with clear embossing powder, cut it out, and then I colored the candles white with a Signo white pen and then colored over that with a yellow Copic. I added some liquid applique to create the icing effect and then spritzed the entire thing with Tsukineko sheer shimmer spray.

The patterned paper is from Imaginesce. I used some Recollections Flowers to add a little extra to the card.

Thanks for stopping in today. Be sure to check out the Lawnscaping challenges. Woohoo lots of fun stuff with great prizes

Happy Birthday Dem

Hi!

So if you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you’ve heard me talk of my dear friend Demaree (aka Dem) who lives outside Chicago. She and I have been friends for many years, and I consider her family as a second family to me.

Well, my sweet friend’s birthday is today, and I wanted to share the card I made her and the set of cards I made her as part of her gift.

Here’s her card…

I used Skipping Stones stamp set which I actually bought just for her birthday because she loves purses. I mean seriously, loves purses. I did something that I saw on their website. I stamped one of the purses, cut it out, covered it in red line tape and then wrapped it with DMC floss. I added the rose to it just to kick it up a little bit. The fabulous patterned paper is some My Mind’s Eye Stella Rose (Mabel). Love these colors so much that I made the gift set with them as well. Here they are:

Hopefully, she’ll like the set. Since she loves purses, I think she’s going to enjoy these.

Thanks for stopping in.

Hugs and Blessings

Let’s Celebrate

Hi There

Just a fun and bright card to share with you today. You may need to put on your sunglasses (wink).

And it fits the bill for the current Off the Wall Craftiness Challenge, so double fun! Check out the fun inspiration piece. I really miss doing that challenge. Kim is such a sweetheart and has such fun color pallettes. If you've not checked it out before, I would encourage you to do so. They're a lot of fun.

I just adore the birds from Lawn Fawn’s Fly Free set, and I am really fond of the mushrooms from Critters in the Forest. And, I love my Fiskars cloud punches.

Thanks for popping in today friends

Hugs and blessings

Lawnscaping challenge 6

Hi Friends

I hope you all checked out the joint challenge that Lawnscaping and Wee Memories are doing together! If not, please check here,

Today, we’re back to our normal Lawnscaping schedule and latest challenge. This challenge is color splash, to use all neutrals with just a splash of color.

Here’s my take on the fun challenge. 

I have to say that I’ve been in a bit of a clean and simple mood lately, so this challenge was perfect for where my mojo is landing lately.  I used the three flowers from Lawn Fawn’s Sew Lovely to create the border, and the sentiment is from Hello Friend.  The red dots are made with liquid pearls (which I had nearly forgotten I had.) The red flower button was in a bag of buttons by Buttons Galore and was too perfect not to include on this card.

We have a new sponsor to add to our challenge. The ever so fabulous Simon Says Stamp. Now not to worry they offer Lawn Fawn products, so you will be able to use the super generous $25 gift card to purchase whatever you want from them  

Be sure to go to the Lawnscaping blog to check out the other designers’ take on the challenge. And get creating. We cannot wait to see what you come up with!

Have a blessed day

Nette
