Let's Celebrate by Lawn Fawn .... round 2!

So I started with a few CAS balloons which 

directly lead to these birds!

They are too fun, too cute & too quick to make !!

Just like the last set I coloured the images 

& matched some scrap paper up with them & 

ta-da a cute little set of cards!!

If you missed the last post - I layers a die 

of all black under the image with foam dots 

to give the card a pop & a strong shadow.

The inside has this fun larger bird from an Easter Lawn Fawn Set, 

Chirpy Chirp Chirp.

here is the set all together !

I used the Lawn Fawn Let's Celebrate for these cards as well!

Let's Celebrate!

Hello friends, 

I felt like colouring but didn't have a ton 

of time so I picked something simple!

I love to have coloured images so I can just sit down and create another day.

This makes creating on a busy schedule doable!

 I coloured these up one day and put them together another.

easy peasy - I love cute CAS cards but don't make them often as I love layers

and so much detail - but this honestly was so fun.

 I stamped 4 images & coloured 2 in more male colours & 

2 were coloured in more girly colours.

I had to have a little layer so i die cut the image 

in plain black and layered the coloured image

on top with foam pop dots to give a real intense shadow.

Here is pink asn hearts - sooo girly.

A toned down girly card that could be used for older recipiant.

Fun & bright blue, green & yellow!

More of a muted and relaxed - reminds me of baby colours

great for a first birthday that's coming up!

All in all this was a fun & fast set of cards - 

I can defiantly see me making these again.

This set would also be a great gift!

I used The Lawn Fawn Let's Celebrate Stamp & Die set to create these cards

September Papercraft Business Blog Challenge - Bears

Hello Friends I am back with a 

new blog change from Papercraft Business Challenge!!

This month as always you can play along with 

Anything goes or you can use the theme Bear!

I used MFT BB Birthday Bears

I adore these bears!!

For papers I actually used some leftovers from 

a scrapbook album I am working on.

They were the inspiration for the colour palate!

And don't be scared to use up all of those extras,

you will be double please with yourself!

 I used a softer palette as i wanted a contract to the dark bear.

 AS ALWAYS I LOVE me detail so I added some 

silk thread.  It is so shinny and soft looking!

I layered the bear on stitched circles that I cut 

from my Stampin Up dies, I layered those on a doily, 

Vintage too boot!! and added a few staples for interest!

 Here is my coloured bear & the copic colours I used.

I love my copics!

Here is a look at the stamp set with a few more images that I coloured up.

I tend to colour a bunch at one and run through the Scan N Cut.

I now have a few cards ready to assemble when needed!

Here is the inside of my card - 

I stamped near the top to leave lots of room to write. 

Here is the complete card again!

I hope you choose to play along with us at

MFT Otterly Love You

Hello All - 

I am here to share an anniversary card 

I was asked to make for friends who are on their first Anniversary.

I used the MFT stamp Ottery love you.

They live on a lake so I wanted some water incorporated, 

and fish don't say love to me! lol 

 When You open the front cover you see the entire scene.

I added waves, birch trees, inked clouds, added rocks 

(as otters in our area are always playing on rocks) 

and one fish as they do fish alot!

When you flip open the scene you see the sentiment.

  

Another photo from another angle!

August Challenge at Papercraft Business Challenge!!

Hello friends and welcome back!

I am happy to share the new challenge at Papercraft Design Team 

August Challenge - Use Circles!!

When this challenge came up I thought about my Lawn Fawn Sublime 

stamp set & nautical round dies but when I went to get it - I realized I had 

these donuts that are far too cute!!!

 I created some Donuts with Sprinkles - All of the Sprinkle are embossed.

Then I cut oit a large circle for the donut, and a smaller one fore the frosting.

I used my Jilibean Donut stamp for my sentiment - 

I forgot to take a picture of the inside - it said, "even birthdays!"

The sentiments are embossed with glitter embossing powder.

 I cut a card base that looks like a large 8, this is attached behind the tan donut.

I attached frosting asn then layered the small donuts to the card.

I was going to cut a circle from the center but I was not convinced this was a great idea - 

we will see this may happen yet!! 

 all in all I think it is super cute to deliver with donut for a friends birthday - 

after a certain age some people don't like their birthday.

So I will let sprinkle make their day better!!

Adventure Awaits

This photo has to be about 16 - 17 years old - 

but has always been a favorite - 

It was in my leaving room for years - 

then my bedroom & then I just had to scrap it!!!

 I can remember this day at a local lake - they would always play on the rocks.

They are watching kayakers start their trip down the river to the rapids. 

my favorite part is that its not staged at all - that right there 

their personalities still.

In this photo he is about 6 and she just turned 3.

They are now 21 & 18. WOW !

I love to look at old photos and remember those days and moments!!

I am so glad I spend time asn money to scrapbook!!

Basket Ball - Game Time

Well here we have yet another tresure chest layout!!

This was created almost 2 years ago at Crop & Create - 

most of the papers at Simple Stores along with a few other item i bought from the vender!

 I find themes like this so busy and hard to create!

This seamed to come together -  but it wasn't easy at first!

Thanks for stopping - 

and have a creative day!!
