Enjoy the Ride

Hello Friends,

Thought I’d share a fun little card that could be used for multiple purposes.  This card features the Lawn Fawn “Admit One” set.

I broke out some My Mind’s Eye paper.  I just adore their patterned paper.  I love getting the mini packs so that the patterns and colors coordinate. It makes is so fun and easy to pull a card together. 

Hope you’re having a fabulous week so far.

Hugs and Blessings

Blissful birthday wishes

Hi Friends

I hope you are doing well.  We’ve been busy here, doing work around the house, specifically outside in the yard. Our yard has started to come together. There’s been a lot of sweat going into that. We’ve planted shrubs, flowers, and spread mulch.  There’s still tasks left to do (more mulch to spread), but we’re getting there.

Thus, I’ve not spent a lot of time crafting.  I’ve been tired and not really inspired.  However, I do have some projects to share this week.  This card is one I made for a dear friend (Marissa, this is your mom’s birthday card in case you’re checking).

Marla, my sweet friend, absolutely loves trees, leaves, and foliage.  So I came up with this little card for her.  I know I’ve said it before, but I adore the Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals set. 

Thanks for stopping in.  Remember there’s a fabulous Lawnscaping sketch challenge going on right now with great prizes up for grabs. I hope you decide to play!

Hugs and blessings

Wee Memories Challenge

partytime



Hi Friends



I thought I’d play in this week’s “Wee Memories” challenge which is Party Themed Projects. This is perfect because I needed a birthday celebration card for my favorite cousin (or cousin-in-law as the case may be).



Here’s what I came up with:

Michelle (above referenced cousin) has a little yorkie-poo that she loves to dress up in sweaters, Halloween costumes, etc. So I thought it would be fun to incorporate that into the card design. I threw in some balloons to add to the party feel of the card. Hopefully, she’ll like it.



Thanks for stopping in today, have a great week.

Lawnscaping challenge 12

Lawnscaping_Ch_12_400
HI Friends,


It’s time for another Lawnscaping challenge, and this time it’s a sketch challenge. We have a fabulous sketch designed by the winner of the Lawnscaping sketch challenge, Jennifer Rzasa. Here it is:

I am in love with Lawn Fawn’s Blissful Botanicals, so I decided to use it for this challenge. I also used the Lawn Fawn “Hello Friend” set which Is so versatile.


That patterned paper was given to us by our fabulous sponsor, Nikki Sivils. There’s an amazing package of Nikki Sivils’ goodies that will go to the winner of the challenge. There will also be a guest designer spot to the winner! Lots of fun up for grabs.

Another Father’s day card

Hi Friends,

I have another Lawn Fawn card to share today featuring the Schoolhouse backdrops set.  I usually make a couple cards with each of the featured sets. 

So, today’s card is one that I didn’t submit to be used during the official Inspiration week activities, but with Father’s day being Sunday, I thought I’d share it.

I struggle making cards for men.  I know this is a common woe amongst us card-makers.  I think this background set is a good fit masculine cards.

Also, I wanted to let you know that I’ve been trying to visit and comment on blogs, but blogger has been giving me fits and not letting me comment. I’ve gone to many blogs to comment and not been able to. I do apologize, I have enjoyed seeing many of your creations and look forward to visiting your blogs and being able to comment soon.

Hugs and blessings

Lawn Fawn Blissful Botanicals

Hi Friends,

Okay, I am SO excited about today’s Lawn Fawn set, “Blissful Botanicals.”  This set is a set that I have been asking Kelly for since Lawn Fawn was launched. And I mean I asked her about it A LOT.  When I saw it, I was not disappointed. I LOVE THIS SET!!!  There are so many options with it.  Here’s my sample for today’s reveal:

Can I tell you how much fun I had making this card?? Coloring and cutting are two of my favorite card-making techniques, and this set is so perfect for it.  It’s also great for paper-piecing, and men’s cards too (sans flowers and butterflies).

Be sure to check out the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration. Then run, and order this set.  It’s a must have.

Hugs and blessings

Hi Again,

It’s day 2 in the Lawn Fawn June inspiration week. Today, we’re previewing the “Schoolhouse Backdrops” set. 

This set would be so cute to make cards for teachers as gifts, or to scrapbook with.  Since I needed Father’s day cards, I went that route. Here’s what I came up with:
