Lawns Fawn Fish and watercolor background

Sharing a card featuring Lawn Fawn products and a watercolored background.

I made the background with distress inks (peeled paint, mowed lawn and a splash of a blue) mixed with water.  I used "Finstastic Friends" stamps and "Fintastic Friends" dies by Lawn Fawn.  Hoping this card brings provides some cheer!

 

I colored the fish with Copics:

Soccer themed card

I feel like I am knee deep in soccer pictures from last fall.  

My old camera died back then and I purchased a new one....

Lots of pictures were taken and developed so I could see the results, how they looked when I blew them up, etc... LOTS..
Now I am trying to go through them to make one two-page layout... hard to narrow them down!

Anyway, I am sharing a card I made to thank the Little Kicker coaches for their time.
The team was lime green so I wanted to use that color in the card.

I cut the soccer ball from the Sports Mania Cricut cartridge.

Other Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn

Twine: the Twinery

Punch: EK

Strike up the fun: Bowling Party!

Sharing the goodies I made for our son's 5th birthday party with a bowling theme.

Here is the invite.  

Most supplies from Hobby Lobby.  

I put the stickers on white cardstock and cut them out to give a little dimension. 

Here are the cupcakes we gave out at the bowling alley and the school party.

I ordered the candy mold on Amazon.

The red "stripe" on the pin was put on with a brush.

Here's the cake for the family party.

The sports ball cake pan is by Wilton.  
I used the template HERE for the pin, enlarged, and traced it 
with black icing before filling it in with the stars.
Forgot to cover the board... was a little messy the next day...
Please ignore the remote control mark on the blue icing in the upper right...
I was trying to catch the news about Peyton Manning and went to put the remote down.. 
OOPS... shhhhhhhhhhhh squished stars...

Next up, the goody bags.

Stickers are from Hobby Lobby.

Easy-peasy

They were torn up before leaving the bowling alley.

The lizards were a huge hit with everyone.

I made T-shirts for the kids with Wilton easy image Transfers from Michael's.

Same pin image from Family Fun was printed & cut out by hand.

I just typed the names and cut them out with a paper trimmer.

We had an even number of boys and girls so I used red for the girls and blue for the boys.

BG63, SSS, L28: masculine birthday card

Been doing a lot of scrapbooking, but took a break to make a card  for 

one of many birthdays to come in our family.  

I decided to make one a little on the masculine side and used 

Basic Grey's "Oxford" papers with a splash of "Granola".  

I distressed the edges of the star panel and used two distress inks to color the "hi".

I love how it turned out.  Really matches! 

The pup was stamped on the same paper as the back panel, 

but I pounced him a little with Vintage Photo.

Gave the card a little mist of perfect pearls/water.

There's a metallic gem for the collar and a dot of shiny dimensional paint on his nose.

Supplies:

Papers: BG "Oxford" and "Granola"

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Critters in the Burbs" and "Quinn's ABCs"

Ink: Memento black, Distress in Barn Door and Fired Brick, Vintage Photo

Other: Spellbinders Wonky rectangles, Sizzix star, Hemptique hemp cord, Perfect Pearls, TH edge distressor, gem, shiny fabric paint, Cuttlebug star

I am submitting card into the following challenges:
