Thursday's Creations!!!

Hi there blogland!  Well I had a very crafty day!  It all started with this video from the Lawn Fawn blog!  Kelly's idea of a background sentiment got my mojo going, and it gave me a perfect idea for the current Lawnscapings challenge: 

 

Here's my card:

I love how much this blue just pops out!!!  And the birdy from "Fly Free" just looks so great as a bluebird!  This also took a TON of Lawn Fawn stamp sets, which was totally FUN!  =) 

After that, I wanted to make a few more gift boxes for some cute little candy or other trinkets!  I made two boxes, each slightly different than the other:

In each situation, I stamped the cardstock with Lawn Fawn's teeny tiny backdrops, one with versamagic ink and one with versamark dazzle ink.  On one I embossed a sentiment right on the bottom, and on the other I added a removable tag with a sentiment!  These boxes were inspired by a few challenges:
1. Wee Memories #48 - Cute and Cuddly.  I think these are super cute to add to a baby gift!  

 

2. City Crafter Challenge Blog #49 - Babies, Buttons and Bows
3. Tuesday Throwdown #41 - Anything but a Card

Ok guys!  Is everyone ready for the weekend?  I know I sure am!  =)  I hope everyone has a lovely night!  =D

Baby, Baby!

Good evening readers!  The weekend is almost here!  I hope that everyone has been able to stay warm this week!  It sure is cold here in Pennsylvania!  We've had lots of delays this week for school, and so I've enjoyed the extra hours of sleep!  =) 

I told you that I'd have more fun cards this week, and here's one that I made with lots and LOTS of Lawn Fawn:

I'm totally valentined out, and so I really wanted to do this week's Lawnscaping challenge but I didn't want to make another love card!  That's when I thought of a baby card!  You can't have too many hearts on a card for a new mother!  =)  I used three different Lawn Fawn sets here, and also made an accent flower.  Add some smooch spritz all over this card, and voila! 

This was inspired by two challenges:
1. Lawnscapings #3 - All About Love

 

2. Etsy Inspired Challenge #125 - Daisy Petal Designs Shop; My flower was inspired by this amazing headband:

Is everyone ready for the DeNami Blog Hop on Sunday?  I know I'm sure excited for it!  =)  I just love buttons!!!  Can't wait to see you all there!  Until then, have a cozy and fun weekend!  =)

Wee Memories Giveaway + Another Challenge Card!

Good evening everyone!!!  I hope that everyone had a great week and is on their way to having a relaxing and FUN weekend!  I know I'm planning on getting a LOT of crafting and cleaning done!  =)

The first thing I want to share with you is that Wee Memories, one of my favorite blogs with one of my favorite challenges, is having a giveaway!  If you've never been over to their site, check it out HERE.  This is their current challenge, and Scrappy Saturday is one of my favorite weekly challenges to do:

So definitely check that out for a chance to win! 

OK now onto the card that I made for today!  As you can probably tell from my most recent posts, I have a LOT of newborn babies either just arriving or coming soon!  =)  My cousin just had a little boy, and so I made this card to send to him and his lovely wife:

This card was so much fun to make!  I've been really having fun with my Lawn Fawn stamps lately!  I also was SO glad that my Bow Embellishments from Martha Stewart were the perfect matching color!  It's always great when I can use these little adhesive bows!  They are so cute!  And of course, this is MORE tape from the dollar spot at Michaels... I really LOVE it!  =)

A Second Challenge Card for the Night!

So I'm totally ready for bed and realized that I forgot to post this little card that I made this week:

   

Normally, I would have just waited to post this tomorrow, but I wanted to enter it on the OTWC Challenge #29 and the deadline for that is tonight!  I created the background using Teeny Tiny Backdrops and Harold's ABC's from Lawn Fawn, and then used Sophie's Sentiments to make the sentiment!  I'm really happy with the way this card turned out too!

Embellish and 2S4Y Challenges!

Good evening readers!  Tonight I have a quick post that I created for two of my favorite challenges: the Embellish Color Challenge and 2 Sketches 4 You's weekly sketch challenge.

      

I'm also entering this card in the Tuesday Throwdown #22: Anything Goes challenge!  =)  
Keeping these things in mind, heres the card that I came up with:

    

One of my coworker's recently had a baby girl, and the doctors told them she was going to have a lot of medical problems from certain physical symptoms she was exhibiting.  It turns out, after many MANY tests and running the emotions of both of the parents to the bone, that she is TOTALLY HEALTHY!  This was such a blessing, and we are all thrilled that she is healthy!  =)  I know they'll enjoy this card!

Embellish's challenge was to use felt along with their theme colors.  I went for a very "homespun" look (this seems to be my new trend as of late), and used lots of twine.  The base flower is a stamp that I cut out... and who could resist those adorable leaf pins?  Overall, this isn't my favorite card, but there are some elements on it that I REALLY love!  =)

 Well, thanks for stopping by!  Happy weekend everyone!
