Whatcha been up to???

Hi there! Just wanted to share a picture of what we’ve been up to... making Valentines for the kiddies school friends/teachers. Using Lawn Fawn of course!!!

That’s it. Hope you have a great day!

Just let it go...

Hi there. Just wanted to share a set of cards I made. Inspired by something I saw on Pinterest!


Very simple. All of the stamping is Lawn Fawn. The patterned paper is Basic Grey’s Lauderdale 6x6 pad. This was my motto for yesterday. Sometimes life can feel so out of control. Just gotta let it go.

Hope you have a wonderful day!

A Memory Lasts Forever...

Hi guys. Today I wanted to share a card that I made for Kelly Marie Alvarez (A.K.A. Mrs. Lawn Fawn). Last week, her grandpa passed away and a few amazing souls started a card drive for she and her family. I couln't NOT participate in this. Kelly Marie is one of the SWEETEST girls I've met through crafting/blogging. She's been super sweet to me and has extended many kind wishes my way when I needed them most. There is simply no one like her. The inside of the card is stamped with a sentiment from Lawn Fawn's Say Cheese II set "A Memory Lasts Forever". I wanted to keep the outside plainish. The patterned paper and jeans just made me think of my grandpa, who we lost 2 years ago :(.

I went rustic and (finally) got #10 checked off my "32 Things to Do While I'm 32" list: "Use my Old Jeans for Art" :). I used THIS Sizzix Rose cutting die to create the two roses and spun the other flower by hand. The patterned paper is from Crate paper and the Rustic Twine is Papertrey Ink.

Anyway, I hope she likes it and that it brings a smile to her face. Thanks for peeking and I hope this week is off to a good start for ya.

TGIF

Hi there. Yes, I am happy to put this tiring week behind me and make it to the weekend. I have a few fun things planned for the kids. Just normal weekend stuff, but it should be fun. I'm also hoping to work on Valentines :).

Anyway, today I wanted to share the final two Sympathy cards that I made for a friend:
and here is the last one:

While Sympathy cards are not something I usually do, I really like how well they all turned out, and when I get a minute I think I'll make a few more to stash away and that way I have them when I need them. I think I'll make a few for my Pastor too. God knows he needs them every so often.

Anyway, hope you have a great weekend, thanks for peekin' in on me.

With Sympathy

Hi guys. Today I’m continuing my week of Sympathy. If you missed it yesterday, I created them for a friend who “ordered” a set of 6 of them. He’s an attorney and in our line of work, well, you end up needing them often :(.

Anyway, I’m here to share 2 more of them with you. For both of them, I've used Hero Arts images and a sentiment from Paper Smooches. and here's the other one

I love how vibrant the Copic coloring shows up on the second one. Beautiful images to color. Anyway, back tomorrow with two more. Hope you have a great day!

A week of Sympathy cards... beginning... now

Hi there. A friend of mine (who is an attorney) asked me to make him a set of Sympathy cards. I knew this would be somewhat of a challenge for me because I usually lean towards a "fun-ish" stye. I don't think I've ever made sympathy cards before now. I decided to go for it because I'm up for a challenge. I pulled out some Hero Arts stamps, Copic Markers and My Minds Eye 6x6 pads and got busy.
I ended up making a set of 6 using Hero Arts' Special Note of Thanks and Antique Engravings 4x6 stamp sets. Here is another:

I really love these stamps, and they are really fun to play with. it was a challenge as I had expected, but a fun one. Hope your Wednesday treats you good ;).

Dude, you color my world!

Hi there. One last stop on the ol' blog before the weekend. Today I wanted to share a corner bookmark I made last weekend. I actually made it for a friend, but I can't seem to part with it just yet - it's so stinkin' cute!
Cuteness isn't it! Another project made from that My Minds Eye pad Chari sent me. I've gotten a lot of use out of that baby! I Copic colored in the super fun Tucan from Paper Smooches My Peeps stamps after first stamping it onto some Copic Paper. Then I paper pieced onto the bookmark. I love the sentiment too, which I created by combining two sentiments from Paper Smooches' Word Salad stamps (a Christmas gift from my work peeps). I just love the fonts they use - so super cute!

Anyway, that's all for me this week. I hope your weekend is awesome!
