Congrats!

Hi there! It has been a while, but I have a good excuse! My husband has accepted a new job and we have been busy getting things ready to leave and trying to find a new place to live! We're super excited about this move and we hope we can find a place to live soon! This also means that I will probably have sporadic posts until we get settled into our new place. Moving is a lot of work!

But, I do have a card to share with you today! I made this card for a good friend who recently got engaged!

It's pretty simple, but I like it! I used Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "Making Frosty Friends" (for the hearts). I added a glossy accent to the hearts to make them stand out a little bit more.

Well, enjoy your weekend! We are heading to a wedding today, which should be a lot of fun! Thanks for stopping by!

Lawnscaping #37

Hi everyone! I hope your week's are going well so far! Things are well here - we're just trying to avoid the heat! This week is a little bit cooler, but it's still so hot! Yuck!

This week I made a card for the latest Lawnscaping Challege! It's all about dimensions. I had a hard time trying to figure something out at first, but I finally came up with this card:

 

I had the blue paper with the edges in my scrap pile, so I put that on the bottom and then cut out the clouds, moon, stars and "dream." I used foam adhesives to add some different dimensions (but it's hard to see in the picture). I used Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs," "Bon Voyage," and "Plus One" stamp sets. I also coated the "dream" with some grayish silver eye shadow that I found in my bathroom. I never use the eye shadow, so it's part of my craft stash now!

Well, thanks for looking at my card! Check out the other great cards in this challenge!

This card is also entered into the Young Crafter's Unite monthly challege - layers!

Happy 4th of July!

I hope that everyone is enjoying their 4th of July! To celebrate, I made a card!

This card features Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs," "Quinn's 123s," "Bake Me a Cake," (for the stars) and "Hat's Off to You" (for the "th" and "of"). Have a safe holiday and go watch some fireworks this evening!! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #36

Hello again! I have another card to share with you for the Lawnscaping Challenge - splash of color!

Again, I made this card a while ago, but I haven't had much time. VBS ended tonight and we had a record number of children attend! It was great that we were able to share the gospel with so many children and their families in our neighborhood! Anyways, on with the card!

I used Lawn Fawn's "My Cup of Tea" stamp set! It is such a cute little set! I paper pieced the cup, tea bag, and the hearts and I colored the hearts red to add a splash of color! I hope you like it! Thanks for looking! :)

Hello Baby!

Hello everyone! I hope that you had a good Monday. My husband is done with school for the summer and he stayed home while I went to work today - boo! I will make up for that by giving him a Honey Do list for the summer! :)

Anyways, I have a card to share with you for this week's Lawnscaping Challenge.

The clouds and stork bag are paper pieced from patterned paper. I really wanted to use the clouds from Lawn Fawn's "Bon Voyage" set because it is one of my new sets. I like new stamps! Here is a close up of the card:

Thanks for looking at my cards! I hope the rest of your week goes well! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #35

 Good evening! I have a new card to share with you today! I made this for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge - patterned paper! I don't use a lot of patterned paper, so this was a challenge, but I had a lot of fun. :)

Here is my card!

Here is a close up of the critters!

The background, fish, octopus, and hat are all cut out from different patterned papers. I had to make the one fish face the other way, but it was really easy! I inked the small fish, wiped off his smile and stamped him on paper. Then I took a small black marker and drew on a new smile so that he faced the other way!

On a personal note, I would really appreciate it if you could keep my father-in-law in your prayers as he is having a lung biopsy done tomorrow afternoon. Pray that everything goes well, he has a speedy recovery, and that we get some good news!

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Some Bunny Loves You!

Good morning! It's finally the weekend! I have a bridal shower to attend and then lots of relaxing after our crazy week here! It will be very nice!

I have a card to share with you today! My birthday was last Tuesday and I received a bunch of Lawn Fawn stamps! Woo hoo!! One set I received was My Silly Valentine. It's so cute! Here is a card that I made:

Aww, how cute! I am picturing a bunch of cute little cards with that set. Well, thanks for looking! I hope that you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend! :)
