Lawnscaping #11/WeeMemories #59/Moxie Fab Challenge Trio

Good morning all!! Hope your weekend was good. Mine was nice. Had lots of fun family time, and I loved the MTV Movie Awards last night ;). I'm SO not up with MTV now-a-days... can't keep up with the Jersey Shore & 16 & Pregnant stuff... just not the MTV I used to like. But I have to say, I do still like the awards show. YAY Twilight! I took a LONG time to get onto that bandwagon, but I'm a Twihard now ;). Still feel a little embarrased to say that, but it's ok. {Admitting you have a problem is the 1st step}

Today I wanted share a card I made to enter into the Lawnscaping #11 and the Wee Memories #59 Challenges. I do so love both of these challenge blog so much!!! If you don't already you should really check them out & play along too. There is SO much inspiration going on at those two blogs!!


EEP! I almost forgot, my inspiration for this card (and a few others for my class) came from the Moxie Fab “Sew Excited” Challenge!! Can’t forget to mention THAT!
and now here is a look at my card:

and:

So, this card is one of 4 I made for my July class at Paper Niche!! {I’m super excited about that - and will share the rest later on in the week} I had fun working on all of the samples this weekend :D.

Both the patterned paper & the cutesie little “pocket” slot is by Melissa Frances. It’s funny because I never really pick up that type of paper when I see it in the stores - I mean, it’s absolutely beautiful (!!!) but I tend to go for other patterns & brighter colors when I’m shopping... I have to say, I am SO happy I picked these up!!! I love LOVE love how beautifully they go with Lawn Fawn’s Sew Lovely set - and polka dots are too fun!!!!!

I covered both the card and the little tag pocket with patterned paper, and then I inked all of the edges with Weathered Wood & Spun Sugar distress inks - pretty huh?!? I finished it off with a bit of May Arts ribbon and a Jenni Bowlin Button. I love the pull out tag - “sew” fun huh ;). Hahahaha... sorry, couldn’t resist.

Well that’s my share for today. I may enter another card to these challenges as well... Don’t really know yet. I just finished one that I’m so super proud of... but not quite ready to share it just yet, so we’ll see. I hope you have an amazing day!
