Happy Friday…Shining with Lunar Lights

Hi Friends,

Happy Friday, I’m sure we’re all ready for the weekend. Do you have any plans? 

This is going to be a short post, so I’ll get right to it. I made several cards for the Lawn Fawn Lunar Lights reveal and thought I’d share another card today with you.

This is one of the cards that I broke out my Copics to color. I just love those markers so much.  I used some of the My Mind’s Eye patterned paper (Fine and Dandy).

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your weekend.

Hugs and blessings

Hi Friends,

So have you placed your order yet for the new Lawn Fawn set, Lunar Lights?  From what I read on the Lawn Fawn blog, I’m guessing those are going to sell out fast! Let me know when you get yours and create with it, I would love to see what you come up with. There are so many possibilities.

Today, I resisted the urge to post something else using Lunar Lights, instead, I’ve decided to go with another Valentine.  Since Valentine’s day is Monday, I’m running out of time to post these. 

It’s pretty similar to others I’ve posted recently, but geez aren’t those pears cute? Who could tire of this set of stamps? It’s just so much fun. 

Thanks for stopping by, have a blessed day

Lawn Fawn Lunar Lights day 2

Hi Friends,

I’m so excited to get to show you another preview of Lawn Fawn’s Lunar Lights today.

This card is a tad different look for me. (Yes, there’s ribbon, a bow, button and bling, I know). BUT, the images are just stamped, not colored, not paper-pieced. I wanted to show that you don’t have to be a coloring type of person to enjoy these stamps. You can stamp them and go. Makes for a quick and cute card! 

Be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog to see the designers’ creations.  There are so many options with this set of stamps, you are just going to love them. 

Be sure to check out the designers’ blogs to see the details on their creations.

Lawn Fawn Lunar Lights

Hi Friends,

It’s time that time again, Lawn Fawn preview time. It’s seemed forever since we’ve done this, and I know it’s not been that long. The hardest thing has been that I’ve had the stamps for awhile, and not been able to post with them!

Without further delay, here is a creation using the next Lawn Fawn stamp set to be released, Lunar Lights.

The stamp set has several cute lantern images and two sentiments. It is so versatile. I’ve made cards for birthdays, congratulations, and encouragement with it already. The images are perfect for coloring, stamping in color alone, and for paper-piecing (as seen here). Just so many options, I know I'm going to be reaching for this set a lot (heck I already have been).

Be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog and design team for more inspiration (and prizes).

And here is my card for the challenge

Wee Memories Sketch Challenge

Hi There,

How are you? I’m getting cabin fever. I stayed home from work again today. This time was to watch my nephew. My brother needed some help, so I volunteered. It’s always fun to spend time with my nephew, and he even spent some time crating with me. (He likes art stuff, so card-making is right up his alley, well sometimes, anyway).

I made a card for this week’s Wee Memories challenge. It was a sketch challenge, and I love those. Here’s what the sketch looked like:

And here is my take on the sketch:

I’ve been in Valentine making mode, so this sketch helped me out on that. (I love sending cards to friends for Valentine’s day, and while I don’t send as many, I do send some).

I used the Basic Grey Olivia paper, and Lawn Fawn’s My Silly Valentine.  I think they go so well together.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and Blessings

2 Challenge Card

Hi Friends

How are you surviving this winter storm? I know not everyone is affected by this, but a lot of us are. Our yard looks like we have about 3 inches of snow, but it’s all ice. Our poor dogs slip and slide when they go out.

Because we’ve been cooped up, I’ve had more time to do some card-making. This has been such a blessing. There was a time that I didn’t get too much time in the craft room, and I’m glad to have some time back there.

So for today’s card, I combined two challenges and actually got the idea from the ever so talented and sweet Karen. She combined two challenges, Jay Gee’s Nook inspirational challenge and Tiff’s challenge at iheartart.

Here’s what I came up with for these two challenges.


Let me tell you that I had so much fun making this card. I embossed, cut, distressed.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hugs and blessings,

Nette

Paper: Papertrey Ink
