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! :)

Get Whale Soon!

Hello there! I've had an exhausting day! After work today, I helped my husband with a school activity that he planned for the whole 8th grade class which included a dance party, pizza and cake, selling school merchandise, a funny whip cream eating contest and, my favorite part, pineapple bowling! My husband found a bowling set with pineapples for the pins and coconuts for the ball! It was great! Now, I'm beat!

I have a card to share with you this evening! My aunt recently fell and hurt her back. She is fine - just really sore. So I made her this card to help her feel a little bit better.

I recently received Lawn Fawn's "Critters In the Sea" stamp set and I've been playing around with it. It is so much fun! I tore brown paper to make sand along the bottom, and I paper pieced each of the critters and the seaweed. Then I added some bubbles! I hope it brightens her day!

Well, I hope you like it! Thanks for looking! :)

Lawnscaping Challenge #34

Hello everyone! Wow, the last time that I posted was on Mother's Day - too long ago! I apologize. My husband and I have so many things going on right now. We're getting things organized for a Vacation Bible School, we have youth group activities, my husband is busy with the end of the school year, and we have so, so many decisions to make. We're overwhelmed!

But, I did find a little bit of time to make a card for this week's Lawnscaping Challenge - I can't miss it! The challenge was to make a card using heat or dry embossing. I used both! Here is my card:

I used a ruler and the end of a paint brush to emboss a border around the card (the top line is a little bit crooked - don't look!) I stamped the sheep, colored in his legs, face and tail, and then used some glue and white embossing power to heat emboss the fur. It's hard to see in the picture, but the embossing made a nice, raised texture that looks just like sheep's wool! It's so cute! Then I added some stickers to spell "hello." Thanks for looking!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day! I am so thankful for my mom and mother-in-law, so I made them a card! Here it is:

They really are the best! :) I am also entering this card into this weeks Lawnscaping Challege - clean and simple cards! Everything is paper pieced except for the grass and the chicken's beak.

Thanks for looking at my cards, and have a great Mother's Day!
