Year One

Hi Friends,

Today is the last day of this month’s Lawn Fawn inspiration week. I hope you’ve enjoyed the projects that have been shared. I think you will love these new stamps. 

Today, we’re sharing the stamp set created to celebrate Lawn Fawn’s 1 year anniversary (hence the name Year One).  If you placed an order over $50 last month, then you got this set as a thank you gift. It will now be available to order.

For my project, I’ve just used the sentiment. I went a little crazy with the My Mind’s Eye Patterned paper and thought that a sentiment was enough.

I distressed the edges of each layer to add some dimension to the layers. And I finally go to using my Webster’s Pages ribbon. It looked a little blah, so I added the bow with, SURPRISE, a little rose in the center. (It went so well with the flowered paper, how could I not include it).  I thought adding a few little gems under the sentiment was a nice touch to make it pop.

Hope you like. Remember to go to the Lawn Fawn blog and sign up for your chance to win. And please go see the other designer’s projects.

I remembered the other day that I never gave away the catalogs from last month, so I’m going to announce winners from March and April (because I have some to give away).

Smitty’s ABC’s

Hi Friends

We’re continuing with the Lawn Fawn Inspiration week today by previewing a new alphabet stamp set being released.  As with other Lawn Fawn alphabet stamps, they line up so nicely. It makes it so easy to make your own sentiments.

Both Chan and I gave you a glimpse in our previews from yesterday.  Today, I have a verse from the bible spelled out using the alphabet set.

I love this verse for Easter cards. It was perfect to showcase this versatile alphabet stamp set. I wanted God’s word to be center stage, and so I just stamped out the sentiment, and embellished with some pretty patterned papers from My Mind’s Eye (LOVE these).  I also added some ribbon and pretty roses (which I appear to be hooked on right now). 

Remember to go to the Lawn Fawn blog to see the design team’s samples and for multiple chances to win prizes (Yes, I did say multiple).

Here are the direct links to the design team’s blogs, so please go leave some love.

Lawn Fawn “Fanciful Frames”

Hi Friends!

Welcome to day 2 of the Lawn Fawn Inspiration week.  I hope you are enjoying it!  I think you’re going to like what we’re previewing today. 

Today, we’re showing Fanciful Frames.  I think that this set will be loved by card-makers and scrap-bookers alike. I decided to make a card, and I’m getting in the Easter mode.  I actually made two cards using the Fanciful Frames, the bunny and grass from the Critters in the Burbs.  (There’s a sneak in there of Smitty’s ABC’s too)

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week “Happily Ever After”

Hi there,


It’s time again for Lawn Fawn’s inspiration week. We are sharing some super fun new sets that I think you’re really going to love.


Today, we’re showing examples from the “Happily Ever After” set. It’s full of great images for weddings, showers, etc. Here’s what I came up with:

PINK Invites

Hi there friends


I was asked to make some invitations for my dear friend’s daughter’s birthday. The only prerequisite was that they be pink. Okay, I can do that.


She will be turning 4 and loves pink, so here’s what I came up with:

So you can see they’re not all exactly the same

And the inside…

I used Lawn Fawn’s Harold’s ABC’s to customize the invites. I found some pink prima flowers that were on clearance that added such a nice touch to these invitations. I used my Silhouette to cute the cake shape out for the invitation base. I think that they are a perfect invite for a little girl’s birthday party. I hope she likes them.


Thanks for stopping in today.

Lunar Patterned Paper

Hi Friends

I hope your week is off to a good start. We have had some thunderstorms coming through.  Our pets always get so nervous, and scared when it storms. I feel so bad for them.

Today’s card is one I made for the current Lawnscaping Challenge.  I had already provided the one that is on the design team blog, but I thought I’d go ahead and share this one. Seems timely.

You can see I used the Lawn Fawn Lunar Lights set to create patterned paper.  It’s so bright and cheery.  I got to spend some time coloring, so it was fun to make.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lawnscaping challenge

April-Challenge-Number-7-400px

Hi Friends,

It’s time for our next installment of the Lawnscaping challenges. This one is to make your own patterned paper using stamps.  This is such a fun challenge and good reminder. I love patterned paper, so I sometimes forget that I can make my own customized paper using stamps.

Here’s what I came up with.

DSC_0118

I took the easy way out and used Lawn Fawn’s Teeny Tiny Backdrops. I embossed them with clear embossing powder. I thought the stars went so well with the Plus One set mobile.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Simon Says Stamp with their super generous $25 gift credit to their store. They carry Lawn Fawn stuff, so you can get hooked up pretty nicely.
