Lawnscaping Challenge

I am submitting this one to the Lawnscaping Challenge  create a background.  I believe this is the 99th Lawnscaping challenge.  I find this challenge really fun to participate in, I seem to find my creative mojo for them and Lawn Fawn is one of my favourite companies.  I used a mix of sets for this card, the little diamonds in the background are from the Joy to the Woods set, the birds (probably my favourite go to Lawn Fawn stamps) are from two different sets and the cloud stitched dies.



My picture is reflecting the winter weather here, I am waiting for the light box I ordered to simplify winter pics!

Thanks for taking the time!

Runway Inspired Challenge #76

I made this one using my new Mama Elephant thanks die.  I made this one specifically for the Runway Inspired Challenge #76.  I was inspired by the black, red and white combo and the splotchy looking pattern on the jacket and handbag.  I used some delusions sprays for the background colours on the card.





Thanks for taking the time!

Ralph Lauren Spring - RIC #75

Made this one for the Runway Inspired Challenge #75.  The pink and red mix on the dress were my starting point for the flowers (Memory Box hibiscus die). I also used a Mama Elephant die to create the flow background from vellum to mimic the skirt.  I love the blue stones in the necklace which translated into the SSS hello sentiment.  Scattered a few sequins also to represent the jewels in the necklace.




Thanks for taking the time!

Winter Themed Cards

Happy New Year! I really can't believe the holidays went by so fast and that I haven't posted since December 21!  Like all of you, family takes over as it should be over the holidays :)  This one is both valentine and winter themed.  I just love this Lawn Fawn penguin and for some reason did not get around to using him on any Christmas cards. I am submitting this one to the Lawnscaping Winter Themed Challenge.

Thanks for taking the time!

Lawn Fawn Christmas

This is my second post of the day featuring this Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag die. I tried to make this one extra special as it's for my Mom! The idea was completely inspired by Nichol Magouirk in her metallic handmade holiday series.  If you have a chance, check out her blog or YouTube channel. I am also submitting this to my one of my favourite challenges Lawnscaping. Challenge 96 is all about Christmas.



Lawn Fawn dies (snowflake and Joy). It is a shaker bag but it is difficult to see in the photo. I filled the inside with pearls, beads and sequins from PPP. Looks lovely and shiny in realtime! Foil and glitter paper. I punched the polka dots out and glued them on the gold foil paper.

Thanks for taking the time!

Goodie Bag Gift Card Packaging

Ok, best investment this year was this Lawn Fawn Goodie Bag die.  I have used it for Halloween candy bags, Thanksgiving table decorations and now I have made about 10 for Christmas gifts (they fit gift cards perfectly!  These two are for my nephews.



I used stamps from Wplus9 (top bag) and Simon Says Stamp with Clearly Besotted (Santa, both sentiments) some Lawn Fawn stamps also.

Thanks for taking the time!

Lawnscaping White on White

White on White is always intimidating for me, but I am pleased with the way this one turned out. I used the birds from the Bannerific set  and of course this bunny.  Love these bunnies. I am submitting it to the current Lawnscaping Challenge 95 White on White



Thanks for taking the time!
