Lawnscaping #110 - Color

 Hi everyone! I hope that you all had a nice weekend. It has been so hot and humid the past few days and there was even a tornado warning last night for a nearby town! That was scary and I pray that everyone was okay! It's not very often that there is a tornado in central PA!

On a brighter note, there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge today, and the theme is all about colors!

I always find myself making cards with rainbow colors because those colors are so cheery and fun! Here is the card that I made for this challenge:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Flirty Frames" stamp and dies, and many thank you stamps including "Critters in the Forest," "Blue Skies," "Home Sweet Home," "Good Fortune," and several of the complimentary thanks stamps from Lawn Fawn orders. I also used a variety of patterned papers from Lawn Fawn for the frames, including "Let's Polka," "Sweater Weather," and "Into the Woods."

To create the card, I first stamped and die cut the frames from the various patterned papers. Then, I used my X-acto knife to cut out the inside of the frames. I arranged the frames on the paper, attached them with some glue, and then stamped the sentiments inside each of the frames. I really like the collage look from those colorful frames!

I hope that you're able to play along with this challenge! The winner from this challenge will win a free stamp set from Lawn Fawn! Don't forget to check out the Lawn Fawn Blog this week, too, because they're sharing some sneak peeks of their new products! :)

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope that you have a great week! :)

Congrats card!

Hi everyone! I hope that everyone is doing well this week. It definitely feels like summer now! This week was humid and warm, and we were able to spend a bunch of time outside! 

Anyways, I wanted to share a card with you today that I made a while ago for a friend.

The schools in our area have about two weeks left of school. My husband is a teacher so I can't wait for school to be over so that he can spend a bunch of time with my daughter and I! 

For this card I used Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Forest," "Hats Off to You," "Violet's ABCs," "Flirty Frames," and "Let's Polka" petite paper pack. I stamped the images in Memento black ink and colored everything with Prismacolor pencils. I really like the look of adding the Flirty Frames to the top of bottom of the images to frame everything together.

I also wanted to remind everyone that Lawn Fawn's Inspiration and Release Week starts today!! They will be showing a bunch of new products this week and having a giveaways throughout the week, so don't forget to check that it! I can't wait to see what they created!

Well, thanks for stopping by! I hope that you enjoy the rest of your day! :)

Lawnscaping #90 - Critters!

Good morning! Did you have a nice weekend? Things went well here - we went to a high school football game (they won - yay!), and relaxed the rest of the weekend (while watching some other football games as well). It was cold this weekend, so it was nice to just relax inside!

Anyways, it is that time again - another Lawnscaping Challenge! This is definitely a fun one! The theme is critters galore!

All of the critters from Lawn Fawn are adorable, so it was hard to pick which ones to use. I finally decided to use the "Critters in the Forest" set and this is what I created:

I think it's perfect for a fall birthday! All of the images are from "Critters in the Forest" stamp set, and the sentiment is from "Happy Everything." I have used the that critters set before, but I never used the mushrooms or leaves images, so I made sure to include them this time! The images are all colored with Prismacolor pencils.

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to play along because the winner will receive a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn (and you can use it to pick out another cute critters set - or anything else!)

Have a nice day! :)

Lawnscaping #65 - My Favorite Things!

Happy Labor Day everyone!! Do you get to enjoy a day off from work today? I hope so! :)

We're back again with another Lawnscaping Challenge! The challenge is to create a card using your favorite things!

 

 For this challenge, I created a birthday tag set! :)

 

 My favorite things are to use Lawn Fawn products, and especially the cute critter sets! "Critters in the Forest" is an older set, but it's a new one for me, so I am having fun playing with it! These tags also feature "Year Three" stamp set, as well as one of Lawn Fawn's new releases - "Winter Gifts" stamps and "Tag, You're It" dies. The tag dies make it so easy to create tags - perfect for Christmas!

The winner of the challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate to Simon Says Stamp, so don't forget to play along! :)

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that you have a great week! :)
