Lawn Fawn

Hi, blog friends!

Sorry I’ve been MIA….I’ve been super busy working on cards for the DeNami CHA SuperShow display. Granted, I’m not doing all new boards (just a few), but in between working and working out, I don’t have too much time. Isn’t it crazy how quickly your day can fill up? 

In between all THOSE cards, I also want to make sure I make cards for fun. That usually seems to get my creativity flowing. So…for today’s card, I brought out a Lawn Fawn set that I had purchased about a month ago. Sadly, this was the FIRST time I even played with it! When I ordered the Critters in the Forest set, I also got the Smitty’s ABC’s and also a pack of patterned paper. Yup, you read that right- I actually bought some PP! I loved these patterns, so I couldn’t resist getting the small pack. :) 

 

Did you notice that poloroid stamp? I used the super cute Wilson Designs Everything’s Owlright set. You know me, I like to mix and match companies. :)

I’m entering this card for the Lawnscaping Challenge #8– glad I was able to play along this time! I wanted SO badly to play along last week, but obviously that didn’t happen. 

Hope you enjoyed today’s card!

Hi-ya, blog friends!

Today I have a card that is bright, happy and fun. (The best kind of card!)  As I mentioned in a recent post, my Copic stash has been growing….a lot. With all the pretty colors, I just can’t help but color more!  

 

 Wee Memories Challenge #48

For this cutie, I pulled out the Critters in the Sea stamps from Lawn Fawn, along with some images from DeNami Design. Now, some may not think turtles are cuddly, but that just depends on who you ask. :)

 

With a good set of markers, it’s SO fun to shade and such. I had a ball choosing colors for the “water”. 

Hope this card brightened your Saturday! Talk with you all soon….

Hi there!

Thank you SO much to those who left me congrats on my last card being accepted for publication. The card will be featured in the July issues of CARDS, so it’s only a few months away! (Perfect month too….it’s my birthday that month!)

I had so much fun creating for the Lawnscaping Challenge:All About Love…I created another card! For this one, I decided to create a little scene. :) 

I just love coloring this dog with my Copics. It’s the perfect size, and it’s fun to *try* shading. You’ll notice, I also tried my hand at doing a little shading on the tree. Someday, I’ll master it….

Have you ever seen a glitter tree? Yeah, neither have I, but I would love to someday!!  I just took my Quickie Glue Pen and covered the tree, then sprinkled Extra Fine glitter. Easy and quick, but super amazing results!

Hope you enjoyed this card! If you missed my other entry for the challenge, you can find it here. 

Happy Monday!

Hope you all aren’t tired of hearing from me. I know I’ve been posting quite often lately! Just in case you missed my last post, I created a card for the CR84FN14 challenge. Click here to check it out. I was super happy with how this one turned out; so full of pretty things!

Today I have a card created for the Totally Hues Challenge #1 AND the Lawnscaping Challenge #3. It’s not often that I create a card to fit two challenges, so this was a pretty big thing for me. :) 

Heather’s challenge was to use Harvest Gold, Simply Chartreuse, Hibiscus Burst and Hawaiian Shores. I must say, I’m usually not a fan of Hibiscus Burst, but I LOVE it with these colors. (Thanks Heather for making me go beyond my comfort zone!)

The Lawnscaping Challenge theme this week: All About Love. I took me a while to decide which animals I wanted to use, but finally decided on the seal. I hadn’t used it before, so what better time to pull it out than for this card!

Here you can see the seals, along with the hearts. I used the Mini Heart by DeNami Design, then added Citrone glitter. There’s nothing better than glitter hearts in my book! :) 

A big huge thank you to everyone who has been leaving me comments on this blog, and my fitness blog. I have been so blessed by the sweet words- you all are the best! 

 

Hi there!

It’s been a while since I did any challenges- with the holidays and then having no mojo, it just hasn’t been high on my priority list. Yesterday I got a teeny bit of creativity, so I thought I’d take on the first Lawnscaping Challenge.The theme: All About Snow.

My blog friend, and fellow Twitter addict, Laurel, has started this new blog. It’s such a neat idea, and there are so many great peeps on the DT. It’s going to be so fun to keep up with this blog!

Here’s my card (using Critters in the Snow)…

 

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I love this color combo. Makes me swoon….

I pulled out more sorely neglected Spellbinder Labels 5 die for the focal point. Have I mentioned that I’m obsessed with faux stitches lately? Yup, got it bad. :) 

Thanks for checking out my card. If you missed the news earlier, I have a super fun giveaway going on- hope you’ll check it out and pass along the news! 

Until next time….
