Lawn Fawnatics Challenge # 17 - Color Inspiration

Happy Friday!! Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving Day with family and friends!! If you are braving the stores for Black Friday, ENJOY!! My Thanksgiving reminded me how thankful I am to have family close by and how great it is to gather together and simply enjoy the day. I'm very blessed.
I am also thankful to have art in my life. Creating is soothing, inspiring and especially fun when done with other creative souls! I am currently loving all the Lawn Fawnatics Challenges - it has pushed me to use stamp sets I haven't touched yet and to practice with my Copic Coloring. The current challenge is a Color Inspiration Board. 
 
I used all the colors and a gift image as the inspiration for my holiday card. I used the Beary Happy Holidays Stamps & Dies - it's an adorable set and a must have for your Holiday cards. Here's my card.

Lawn Fawn's Stamp and Die Sets make creating a scene on a project easy and I love how sweet the bears are in this set. 
Thanks for stopping by and I have some exciting news to share on my next blog post ... stay tuned!!

Thanksgiving Day

Hello and Happy Thanksgiving! I'm looking forward to Family time this afternoon including visiting my Dad in the nursing home - he is always greatly missed at home but especially on the Holidays. Then onto my Brother and SIL's for more great company and some amazingly delicious food. Calorie restraint might be hard today - Thanksgiving is one of my FAV feasts! So much to be Thankful for. 
I'm also Thankful to have a great crew at work. To show them how grateful I am for them I made a bunch of cards using Lawn Fawn's Shadow Box Die. These box cards are so adorable and fold to fit in a standard sized envelope. I made twelve of these cards for my awesome co-workers. Here's a peek at some the cards.

These were so fun and easy to put together thanks to the Shadow Box Card Die, which can be used for any occasion. 
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a blessed and grateful Thanksgiving!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #16 - Use Your Oldest Lawn Fawn Stamp Set

Hello Peeps!! I have a new card to share today using the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. Challenge #16 is to use our oldest Lawn Fawn set. 
I dug through my LF Stamp Sets and found my oldest one to be "Critters Down Under" released in 2012. I paired this stamp set with some new releases "Outside In Stitched Square Stackables" and "Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop". I used some bright Copic Markers to color the elements on my card.
I layered the adorable critters on top of each other and added a leaf to the bird's head - they make quite the Happy Birthday gang, don't they?!?! The Woodgrain Backdrop die easily adds great texture to plain cardstock.
Be sure to stop by the Lawn Fawnatics Blog to check out the DT sample and all the amazing entries for this current challenge.
Thanks for stopping by and have a great week.
