Flying By to Say......



One of my favorite companies lately is Lawn Fawn....I cannot get enough of their ultra-cute and trendy stamps.  Recently they released some paper collections and I have picked up a couple of the 6x6 paper pads to use when making cards with their stamps. 

 

I used their paper on this card and matching tag set as well as their stamp.  The stamp says "flying by to say hi" but I masked off the "hi" and used it with an SRM sticker on my card.

 

I am entering this card and tag set in two challenges:

 

Frosted Designs 7th Day of Christmas -- use 7 snowflakes

and

Simon Says Stamp -- use your favorites

Frosted Designs 4th Day of Christmas

Frosted Designs 12 Days of Christmas continues to challenge me.  Here is my entry for the 4th Day of Christmas challenge....to use 4 different papers.  I used 4 different papers (front and backs) from Bo Bunny's Sweet Tooth collection for this birthday card.

Frosted Designs 6th Day of Christmas

Frosted Designs is having a cool challenge this month....the 12 days of Christmas.  And I must say as the challenge goes on it gets more and more challenging! Here is my entry for the 6th Day of Christmas challenge...to use six strips of washi tape.

 

Isn't that lil' elf darling?  My online friend Elizabeth made me a bunch of these cute little guys and sent them to me recently.  This card is for my 4 year old grandaughter Abby and has a quote from one of my favorited Christmas movies...Elf.  What are your top 3 Christmas movies?

Fleas Navidad

I was very busy tonight after work....my crafting tonight was fueled by a large Peppermint Mocha iced coffee from Dunkin' Donuts and I must say it kept me clippin' right along until about 9pm when I decided it was time to photograph what I had accomplished and start blogging.  This card was my favorite project I completed this evening. (I made 5 cards and 5 gift tags).

 

 

I used my Paper Smooches stamp set for the cute lil' pooch and Santa cap and I just LOVE their punny sentiment.  The papers are from Lawn Fawn.  I think I will send this to Aunt Joan and Uncle Charlie because they had a cute little dog that looked very much like the dog on my card.

 

I used the SPARKS sketch this week for the card and actually followed it quite closely:

 

Well, I think that is is for tonight...the alarm goes off very early and I can finish blogging about my projects tomorrow night.  Thanks for checking out my blog.

 

Snowman tag

I have always loved snowmen and I have many snowmen ornaments on my Christmas tree to prove it.  But as much as I love funky and whimsical snowmen...I hate snow. Seeing that I now live in Florida the only snowmen I have in my life are in my craft room or on my Christmas tree and that's the way I like it. 

 

I made this cute little tag to enter in the December challenge at Trendy Twine.  The challenge is to make a tag with a snowman, glitter and Trendy Twine.  Since I do not have any Trendy Twine, the challenge said I could use hemp twine which I did.  I figure that if I keep entering the challenges over there eventually {maybe} I will win some of their awesome twine...LOL.  I especially LOVE their Candy Cane twine which you can see HERE.

From This Day On......

Shame on me.....my son and Amy got married nearly 2 years ago and I just now scrapped this picture.  They had a small little ceremony at the courthouse and I just love this picture.  I was waiting for the right sketch and supplies to come together. I love the black and white chevron flower from Precocious Paper...my favorite Etsy shop.  I bought an extra one for one of my wedding pages.  I used this sketch from Artful Delight:

 

 

This layout has now been framed and will be on it's way in a package of Christmas goodies later this week to Matt and Amy's home just outside Chicago.  I am hoping they like it and I think they will.

The Play Date Cafe Challenge #160

 

Color challenges are , well, challenging for me.  LOL So I ususally shy away from them.  But when I saw this challenge from The Play Date Cafe I thought to myself, I can do that.  I wanted to create a Christmas card with non-Chirstmas papers and had the perfect paper for this challenge.  Here is what I came up with:

 

I wish I could tell you what the paper is but it was in my box of scrap....it {might} be from Basic Grey's Picadilly collection but I am not sure.  The card stock is from Stampin' Up and I created the sentiment from my Lawn Fawn Claire's ABCs. I just love those wood veneer snowflakes.

 

This is the first time I entered a challenge at The Play Date Cafe and I promise it will not be the last.  Sometimes it feels good to have been challenged and met the challenge.
