Lawnscaping #37

I haven't bothered to post my creations in a long time because I haven't been following challenges or taking the time to take pictures of the cards. Now that the school year is over, I have done a lot of crafting and have some more time on my hands although I am working part time. Anywho I have been playing with my stamps a lot lately and haven't recently acquired new Lawn Fawn and Avacado Arts sets. So I made a simple card for the Lawnscaping challenge to use dimension.

I popped up some hearts to go with the super sweet fox from Critters in the Forest. Lawnscaping is being sponsored by the fab Simon Says Stamp where my mom just got her first Lawn Fawn. It's hard to resist these cute stamps and I'm not always around to borrow from.

Happy Black Friday

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! For everyone who went black friday shopping I hope you got what you wanted. For my card today I used Punch 311 to make a simple Thanksgiving card. I decided to go with a bit of an unconventional color scheme but I love the way Punch 311 goes with the Stella Rose collections.One way I like to draw attention to the beautiful patterns of the punches is to add gems or glitter.

A few LOs

Here's a few LOs I've made based on sketches some of which were old and others where I've simply missed the deadline. I have a hard time taking photos of LOs and I'm really trying to get better at it. I recently discovered a function on Gimp that has made the editing process easier but as you can see for some of these the lighting is still off but I just wanted to get photos taken and uploaded before I missed any other deadlines. The first LO uses Sassafras papers and is of me and my sister in NYC.

This LO used Basic Grey Origins papers and stickers. The pictures are from the local Raptor Trust where they care for birds of prey that are sick, have been injured, or are abandoned. It is next to a large wildlife preserve that we like to go bird watching at so we sometimes stop by the trust as well.

This LO was made for the Scrapbook.com Cosmo Cricket sketch challenge. I used the Joy Ride collection and some pictures from Universal Studios Florida from a family vacation a few years ago.

This last LO was for this month's My Mind's Eye sketch challenge but the challenge closed on Thursday and while I made it made before didn't take a pic in time, opps!

My Mind's Eye Challenge

My Mind's Eye has issued a challenge this month to make a project based on a sketch and the word hope. Check out the details here on their blog. I made my LO with supplies from the Lush collection in blue and brown including the letters, ribbon, brads, and paper. I used a different MME line for the base of the LO. Unfortunately I can't seem to make blogger display my picture right side up.

ICS #40

I needed a last minute Halloween card so I combined some supplies from a goodie bag I bought recently and the ICS Sketch #40.

Happy Halloween!
