This card was actually the inspiration for my Love Shack card. While that one is fun, this one is friendly! For this card I used Lawn Fawn's Build A Cabin cut from Pink Pastel Shimmer cardstock. All the house trim is cut from Red Holiday Sparkle cardstock. I used Finley's ABC's for the lettering. I wanted the door to be a different color, so I cut the door out of Pixie Sparkle cardstock and then used the heart die from the Build A Cabin to cut out the door below the window.

Bang...Bang...Bang on the door baby! I know I am probably dating myself but the song Love Shack by the B52's has been playing in my head all day.

Hello! Well, I finally got the nerve up to try my Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil Machine. I bought one, right after Lawn Fawn released their first hot foil plates and the first time I used it, it wouldn't heat up. I contacted Spellbinders and they were absolutely amazing about replacing it. However, one thing led to another, I didn't use it and then was hesitant in trying again. I decided to foil on Lawn Fawn Pearlescent Vellum using the Woodgrain Background hot foil plate

Hello Friends! Well those darn little mice caught me again. I just can't stay away from them! They are so versatile. I created this card for the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog #141 - Lots Of Heart. There are some people that I definitely want in my bubble, so I decided to use the Lawn Fawn Bubbles of Joy stamp set. The stamp set has small heart shaped bubble, but I needed some larger ones so I could "float" a couple of mice in them. Once again, I shopped by stash and us

Beep! Beep! Hello friends! I took the rare opportunity to clean up my workspace yesterday and immediately had to work on a card. This one came together really quickly. I just love the little pals zooming to say "Happy Valentine's Day" I inked the sky with Salty Ocean Distressed Ink using the Cloud Stencil. This has definitely turned into my favorite was to ink my skies. I used paper from Lawn Fawn's Flower Market Petite Paper Pack for the Stitched Mountain Border. Bei

Hello friends! I finally got the Christmas down and my house back in order. I created this card for the LawnFanwnatics Challenge #140 - Lets Celebrate. I wanted to use the new Heart Garland Backdrop-Landscape, but I wanted to change the hearts out with something else. I thought it would be fun to switch them out with shells and starfish, so I decided to do an under the sea card. I started with an inked background using Distress Oxide Inks in Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lago

Hello and Happy New Year! I was working on a Christmas Ornament and knew that I would have extra epoxy left so I cut out a few pieces of paper from Simple Stories - The Simple Life and made it them into pendants. These would be great as a casual necklace or even a keychain. Life goal - Love Where You're At.

Happy New Year all! I don't usually make new year's resolutions, but this year, I think I am going to start challenging myself to start using all the printed paper I have collected over the years. My "playroom" is about busting with 6" x 6" or 6"x6" pads. As I was working on these cards, I started thinking about how much time and planning a designer goes through to make a collection that is so versatile. Not only do they have to design the paper and ephemera, they also ne

I am always looking for different ways to use some of my favorite paper prints. I have some bezel sets from Spellbinders and thought that using some paper from Simple Stories Vintage Christmas Lodge would make a fun and different ornament. I use a two part epoxy poured over a little bit of colored micro beads to add dimension. I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season! Thanks for stopping by.

Who doesn't like a Christmas Plaid? The plaid paper on this background just might have been my favorite paper out of the 6"x8" Simple Vintage Christmas Lodge Paper Pad by Simple Stories. I love Santa Clauses, so it was very easy to decide on this guy along with a trimmed tag with so fellas building snowmen. The cut outs I used were from the Simple Vintage Christmas Lodge - Ephemera- Bits and Pieces. The Merry Christmas was the perfect size for a landscape card. I used foa

This is a card I made a for Christmas last year. I love a lodge look - to me it just screams cozy and warm. I used a little bit of paper from 6"x8" Simple Stories Vintage Christmas Lodge Collection Paper Pad and Simple Stories Vintage Christmas Lodge - Ephemera- Bits and Pieces. For the embossed paper I used a Spellbinders Cut and Emboss folder called Laurel and Bows. I am fairly certain that this embossing folder has been discontinued because I have had it for a very lo
