Lawnscaping #121 - Winter Wonderland

Hello and Happy New Year! I can't believe that 2015 is already over - that year went by fast! But, I am really looking forward to this year and to some new and exciting things that are happening with my family! :)

Anyways, it's time for the first Lawnscaping Challenge of the year! Yay! The challenge is to create a winter-themed project. We had a few snow flurries this week, but we haven't had any snow accumulation in central PA yet. I'm not looking forward to the snow!

Here is the card that I created for this challenge:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Arctic," "Love You S'more" (for the moon), "Baaah Humbug" (for the bow and present), and "Winter Gifts" (for the sentiment). I also used some patterned paper from American Crafts "Everyday" paper pack. I saw it recently at Target and it was just so cute that I had to get it!

I mirrored stamped the bunny on the left so that the bunnies were looking at each other. I had to trace the outline of the bunny because it didn't stamp very dark, so that's why he looks kind of funny. Oh well, I think it still turned out cute!

I hope that you're able to play along with this first challenge of the year! The winner will receive a $25 gift certificate from Ellen Hutson!

Thanks for stopping by and I can't wait to see what you create! :)

Washi Tape Cards

 Hello! I have a few cards to share with you for the current Paper Crafts Gallery Idol Competition! The competition sounds like such a unique and fun challenge that I had to play along. I was able to make two cards to submit for the competition. Here is the first card:

To create this card, I cut various colors and styles of washi tape into 1/2 inch squares and then cut them in half to form triangles. Then, I used a ruler to help keep everything straight, and arranged the triangles on the card base to create a fun pattern. Some of the rows aren't super straight, but I still like it! I wanted the sentiment to stand out against the colorful background, so I added some black stickers from American Crafts.

The next card is just as colorful, but this time I used a bunch of stars!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Year Two" stamp set and "Stitched Jounraling Card" die for the stars. I die cut stripes of washi tape to make a bunch of star "stickers" that I arranged onto the card base. Again, I used black ink to help make the sentiment stand out!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day! :)

Simple Thanks

Good morning everyone! I hope that you had a great weekend! I was able to see Les Miserables this weekend, and it was amazing! It is such a great story of forgiveness - plus there are some awesome songs! I had them stuck in my head for the rest of the weekend! You should definitely see the movie! :)

Anyways, I wanted to share a quick thank you card that I made a while ago. I meant to send this out after Christmas, but I completely forgot. Opps!

This card feature's some washi tape by Freckled Fawn and Recollections. The letters are corrugated letter stickers from American Crafts. They were originally tan but I didn't like how that looked, so I colored them black. 

Well, off to work! I have some big things happening with work this week, so prayers for wisdom and calm nerves would be really appreciated. Enjoy your Monday! :)
