LF Inspiration Week: Celebration Countdown

Hi everyone! Do you have any thing fun planned for the weekend? Our weeks are always so busy, so we'll probably just relax - and maybe go shopping. :)

The Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week continues with a look at the Celebration Countdown set. This set works great with the Tiny Box die, but it can also be used for birthday cards!

I used the Celebration Countdown die to cut balloons from different colors of Lawn Fawn cardstock. For the sentiment, I used the Scripty Happy die with three layers of black cardstock, and I used white embossing powder for the birthday. To add some texture and dimension, I attached silver sparkle Lawn Trimmings to the balloons. The end of the string is wrapped around the bottom on the white panel and attached with washi tape on the back.

I hope that you have a great weekend! Thanks so much for stopping by! I still have more inspiration to share with you over the next few days, so stop by again tomorrow! :)

25 Days of Christmas Tags

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the US! I hope that you're able to enjoy the day with family and friends! I can't believe that it is already the end of November! In just a few days, my little girl will be turning one - ahh! Where did this year go!? 

Anyways, on a brighter note, I am excited to be participating in the 25 Days of Christmas Tags organized by Tracey McNeely! Tracey was kind enough to invite the Lawnscaping Team to join in the fun this year, and of course we were excited to participate! :)

The tags that I decided to make are not only great for Christmas, but could also be used for birthday or any other occasion. 

Who doesn't enjoy a good animal pun on their gifts!? :) These cards feature Lawn Fawn's "Critters on the Farm," "Tag, You're It" stamp and dies, and "Cole's ABCs" die. I also used some silver sparkle Lawn Trimmings around the white ribbon at the top. I had to do a little bit of masking to get the sentiment just right, but that is super easy to do. The sheep are colored with Prismacolor pencils and I also used some glitter paper for the "ewe" letters.

Don't forget to leave a comment on Tracey's blog for a change to win some amazing prizes from Lawn Fawn, Paper Smooches, Neat and Tangled, CAS-ual Fridays, Clearly Besotted, and Reverse Confetti.

Also, leave a comment on my blog, as well as the other Lawnscaping Team's blogs, for additional chances to win! You have until the end of today, November 27, to comment, and the winners will be announced on November 28 on Tracey's blog.

Thanks again for stopping by and have a Happy Thanksgiving! :)

Lawnscaping #72 - Color Inspiration

 Hello everyone! It's time again for a new Lawnscaping Challenge! Yay!! This challenge is perfect for the month of December (at least in Pennsylvania where we always have snow!). The challenge is to create a card based on these inspiration colors:

Here is the card that I created based on the inspiration colors:

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Making Frosty Friends" and "Cozy Christmas" stamp sets, as well as silver Lawn Trimmings. I used a ton of different patterned papers and I also decorated the hats, gloves, and scarves with some blue and white stickles! This card was perfect to use with patterned paper scraps! :)

This week's challenge is sponsored by Lawn Fawn and the winner will receive a free stamp set! That is definitely a prize worth playing for! 

Have fun with the challenge and I can't wait to see what you create! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Lawnscaping #71 - Tags or Treat Bags

Hello everyone! It's time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge! Monday's are so much better when there is a new Lawnscaping Challenge to look forward to! :)

This week's challenge is to create a project using tags or treat bags.

Since it is getting closer to Christmas, I decided to make some Christmas tags! Here are the tags that I created:

These tags feature a ton of Lawn Fawn products! The patterned paper is from the "Peace Joy Love" petite paper pack, the sequins are from the "Peace Joy Love Mixed Sequins Pack" and I also used the silver sparkle Lawn Trimmings! I used the "Tag, You're It" die (one of my favorites!) and I used a ton of Christmas stamp sets - "Cozy Christmas," "Making Frosty Friends," "Milo's ABCs," "Quinn's 123s," and "Winter Gifts." Plus, I added stickles to some of the images to give it some sparkle (like the stockings, hearts, and numbers).

Thanks for stopping by! Don't forget to play along for a chance to win a $25 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp! And check out the other amazing projects that the design team created for this challenge! :)

Wanna Sketch No. 9

Hello! Ah, I'm so glad it's the weekend! Does anyone else get tomorrow off for Columbus day? Since I work at a bank, we get every little holiday off, so I'm looking forward to my extra day off tomorrow! :)

I have a card to share with you for the current Wanna Sketch No. 9 Challenge! The challenge is to create a card based on this sketch:

Here is the card that I created for this sketch:

This card would be perfect for Valentine's Day, but I made it as an anniversary card. This card features Paper Smooches "Love Die," and Lawn Fawn's "Tag, You're It" die, "Stitched Journaling Card" dies, and silver sparkle Lawn Trimming. The little hearts also have some stickles added to give them some sparkle!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend! I think I am going to do some shopping and baking on my day off tomorrow. Maybe I'll even do some crafting! :)

10 Minute Craft Dash #25

Hi there! I'm so glad that it is Wednesday because it means that the weekend is almost here! Woo! :)

I have a card to share with you for the current 10 Minute Craft Dash! I have not had much time to play along with challenges lately, but I was able to find some time this week!

The challenge this week is to create a card using the provided colors and to create the card in under 10 minutes! That is a challenge!

When I saw the inspiration colors, I immediately thought of sunflowers! (Can you tell that I like that new Lawn Fawn stamp set?!) :)

Here is the card that I created and it took 8 minutes 20 seconds. This card features Lawn Fawn's "Our Friendship Grows," and "Woodgrain Backdrops" (you can tell that I tried to make this quickly- I messed up the woodgrain stamp!). The hearts are from the "Stitched Journaling Card" dies and I also used the silver sparkle twine. 

If you have some time, you should definitely play along with the current 10 Minute Craft Dash! There are still a few days to play along! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Kelly's Birthday Blog Hop!!

Hi everyone! Today is a special day because it's Kelly Marie's birthday! Happy Birthday!! The Lawn Fawn girls decided to organize and surprise her with a birthday party blog hop! You should have arrived here from Paulina's blog! If you get lost at any point you can start at the beginning on Tiffany's blog!

Since Kelly Marie is a fan of sunflowers, and since Lawn Fawn just released an adorable sunflower set and die, I decided to send her some flowers on her birthday!

 This card features a few of the new Lawn Fawn products! The patterned paper is from the "Peace Joy Love" petite paper pack (who says it just has to be for Christmas!). The flowers, heart, and pot is from the "Our Friendship Grows" stamp set and the sentiment is "Riley's ABCs." I also added some silver sparkle twine around the flower stems and some stickles to the heart and center of the flowers.

Well, I hope that everyone, especially Kelly Marie, enjoyed our little blog hop! The next stop is the talented Vicki Papaioannou! :)
