HB2U!

Happy Monday everyone! I hope that you all have a great weekend! I was able to attend a friend's wedding this weekend and it was wonderful! She looked amazing, the rain held off, and everything went smoothly. They even had an ice cream truck show up at the reception!! Yum!

I have a card to share with you for the current Lawnscaping Challenge - to make your own patterned paper with stamps!

I dug through my stamp collection and picked out a bunch of Lawn Fawn stamps to use for my patterned paper. Here it is!

The pink and orange strips use the heart and star stamps from "Bake Me a Cake" and "Plus One". The green strip is the dashed line from "Bon Voyage" and one of the straight lines from "Bake Me a Cake." The blue (which is a little bit hard to see) has a wavy line that is from "Gnome Sweet Gnome." And the purple strip has the swirly stamp from "Bake Me a Cake." Then I stamped some stars on yellow card stock, the "hb2u" on white paper, cut them out, added some glittered, and adhered them to the card!

That was a lot of fun to create patterned paper! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy your Monday! :)

P.S. I am also entering this card into the Young Crafters Unite Challenge! Check out the amazing cards over there!

It's a Girl!

Hi everyone! I hope that you had a good Monday! My has been productive and fun! I am currently baking dozens and dozens of peanut butter cookies for an outreach that my church is having on Wednesday! Yummy!

I have another card to share with you for the current Lawnscaping Challenge!

This is similar to a card that I've created before, but I like this one better..

 

This one is one layer and is colored with colored pencils. I also used a masking technique again (I really like masking!)  And of course, I added some cute small hearts around the image. :)

Thanks for visiting! Enjoy your week!

Lawnscaping Challenge #39

Good evening everyone! I'm taking a break from packing our belongs to post a card that I made this week! This card is for the current Lawnscaping Challenge - one layer! (You should definitely check it out! There are some amazing cards!!)

This was a challenge because I really like to make things pop with foam tape. But, I managed to create a card for this challenge:

This was my first attempt with a masking technique and I think it worked pretty well. I think the fence and grass are so cute! I tried to give the chick and sheep some extra white around the edges to help them stand out a little bit. Everything is colored with colored pencils (which maybe why the colors didn't pop very much in the photo).

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had a great weekend!

Design Tags Part 2

Good evening! I'm back again with more tags that I have created along with Britta's Design Class! 

 We have been learning some great topics and I'm having a lot of fun with this class. Here are my next two tags:

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully I'll be back soon with some cards to share with you! Have a good Friday!

Design Class Tags

Hi everyone! We're back from vacation and we had a wonderful time! Everything was great except for the long car ride. It was exhausting, and I didn't even drive!

I don't have a card to share to day, but I do have a little inspiration booklet that I have been making along with Britta's Design Class! This is the first class that I've ever been involved in, and I'm having so much fun! I'm so thankful to be a part of this class!

The class is all about design principles, and I have been learning so much! The lines, colors, shapes, textures, etc., all play into the emotion that your work of art conveys. Britta is doing a great job at teaching us some interesting ideas that I've never thought of before.

Anyways, Britta provided a project that will serve as inspiration for the future. Here is the first part of my tag booklet, the cover!

And this is the first page of notes in my booklet!

Well, that is all for now! I need to start working on my next page of notes! Thanks for stopping by! It's almost the weekend!!

Love is in the Air!

Good evening! I'm just here to post a quick card that I made today for the Moxie Fab World's Tuesday Trigger! You should definitely play along because this week's photo is so neat!

 I really liked the little banner in the cake, so I used that as my inspiration and created this: 

I have had this idea for a while but couldn't figure out how to make it and today it just worked! I stamped some clouds from Lawn Fawn's "Bon Voyage" stamp set to make a light background. Then I paper pieced the "love", birds, and hearts. The words and birds are glued right onto the twine which was wrapped around the card stock and mounted onto the base! I think it's so cute!

Well, it's getting late and I really need to pack. My husband and I are going on vacation this weekend! Woo! I hope you have a great weekend, too!

Congrats Agains!

Hi everyone! There is so much going on over here! My husband is busy getting things ready for a new job and we're trying to find a new place to live - we're even contemplating buying a house! Crazy! We're so excited for this new opportunity and we're excited to see how God will use us in the next few years!

Even though things are hectic right now, I had to make sure that I entered a card into this week's Lawnscaping Challenge! The challenge was to create a card inspired by this photo:

I really liked the yellow dresses in the pictures, and summer is the season of weddings, so I used my somewhat new stamp set to create this:

A close up to show the sparkles!

The background has yellow hearts all over it (so cute for a wedding card!). I cut out the dress, paper pieced a yellow sash onto it, and glued chunky glitter to the skirt of the dress. Then I cut out some hearts and music notes for around the dress and stamped "congrats!" at the bottom! 

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by! :)
