Paper Smooches SPARKS- Designer Drafts Challenge



Happy Friday! This winter has been pretty cold, and I am eagerly waiting for spring and warmer weather to come. I made a fun outdoor themed card for the SPARKS Designer Drafts Challenge.
 I used the Happy Camper stamp set to create my campfire scene.  Foam tape was added to the back of the circle for dimension. The adorable sentiment is from the Simply Said stamp set. I used a mixture of different pattern papers, in addition to twine and star shaped rhinestones. Thank for stopping by my blog, I hope you have a wonderful day!

Simon Says Anything Goes With Twine or String Challenge


Happy Thursday! Today I am sharing a card I made for the Simon Says- Anything Goes with Twine or String Challenge. I decided to create a gender neutral Valentine's Day card with a non-traditional color palette. I used two different Paper Smooches stamp sets,  the Chubby Chums and Sugar Rush. All the pattern papers are from the Basic Grey- Hey You paper pack. I embellished the top of my card by wrapping the twine around the card and tying a simple bow. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a wonderful day!

Paper Smooches- SPARKS- Anything Goes Challenge


Hey everyone! Today I am sharing a card that I made for the Paper Smooches SPARKS challenge which is anything goes. This winter has been very cold and snowy, and I am really ready for spring to get here! When the weather gets warmer I love to take pictures of nature, so I decided to make a card based off of that. The photographer chick is from the Chubby Chums stamp set. The snazzy camera is so adorable and is from the Perpetual Bliss stamp set. The tall trees and the small yellow bird are from the Spring Groves stamp set. I used fun pattern papers, flowers, pearls, and twine to finish off my card. I had so much fun making this scene! Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I hope you have a great weekend!

Lawnscaping Challenge #74- Inspired By


Happy Monday! I love the new Lawnscaping Challenge which is to create a project inspired by a design team member. One of my favorite things about crafting and cardmaking is seeing what others create. Inspiration is everywhere, and there are just so many talented crafters and artists out there. It was a little tricky to choose one project to be inspired by, but there was one card in particular that stood out in my mind. The card that Elena made for the Lawnscaping Challenge #56. She created an adorable card with a rhino floating in the sky by colorful balloons. I was inspired by the whimsical scene she made, so I decided to recreate a similar scene with a whale and many more balloons.

Lawn Fawn Stamps Used:
Critters in the Sea
Admit One
Blue Skies


The sponsor of this challenge is Lawn Fawn! One lucky winner will win a stamp set of their choice!

Lawnscaping Challenge #73- Let's Party!


Good morning and happy Monday! It is time again for another Lawnscaping Challenge, and this challenge is an extra special one. We are celebrating Lawnscaping Challenges Blog's Birthday! The challenge is to create a birthday themed project.

I made a fun birthday card using some of my favorite Lawn Fawn dies and stamps. Did you know the yetis actually love to juggle and entertain at birthday parties? It is a hidden talent. The yeti is juggling tennis balls and standing on the dish from the Critters in the Dog Park stamp set. His snazzy polka dot clown outfit was pretty fun to make. I drew two simple straight lines to create the top of the outfit. I then made a simple mask to block off the yeti's head, hands, feet, and stomach. I took the bubbles from the Critters of the Sea stamp set and inked the smallest bubble. I randomly stamped the circle to create a polka dot pattern. 


Materials Used-
Lawn Cuts- Cole's ABCs
Lawn Cuts- Stitched Journaling Card
Lawn Fawn- Yeti Set Go
Lawn Fawn- Critters in the Dog Park
Lawn Fawn- Critters in the Sea
Lawn Fawn-Happy Everything
Lawn Fawn- Hats Off to You



This challenge is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp. The winner of this challenge will receive a $25 gift certificate. Isn't that an awesome prize?
