SSS: EP Valentine #2

Hi there.

I have a few new followers!  WELCOME!

Anyone else's head spinning from all the CHA posts?  What's on your wish list?

I love Echo Park and the new "This and That" line looks great!

"Charming" and "Note to Self" look like my favorites from their release.

And my followers know that I am a big Lawn Fawn fan.
Can't wait to see their full release. 

Here's another EP Valentine card using the "Be Mine" collection.

The "Happy Valentine's Day" was stamped, but everything else is 

from the EP collection pack!

L26: winter card

I love how colors pop against kraft paper.

Made this little card featuring Lawn Fawn's "Winter Bunny",  "Bannerific"  and "Frosties".

This was a Christmas card for my son's teacher.

Shhhhh, don't tell but I had a black ink smudge on the card and I had to cover it up.

That's how I ended up with the banner, hee hee.  

I had not planned to put one on there, but I think it balances the red.

I am entering this into the Lawnscaping Challenge #26:  "Winter Wonderland" 

Supplies:

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn

Ink: Memento black, Distress Barn Door, White

Other; Prismacolor pencils. Stickles, liquid pearls, Jolee's hat, gems

Thanks for the well wishes for my mom (she contracted bacterial meningitis).

She is still in a rehabilitation facility and doing well. 

She'll be off antibiotics at the end of this week. 

SO nice to be back in blog land seeing all the great projects 

(still behind on visiting) and all the new products coming soon. 

As we get back to normal here, I am getting the urge to craft again....

BG60: Baby Card

Hi there. Been a while since I have been able to post.

Mom mom is going on day 8 in the hospital (5 in ICU) after contracting meningitis.  

No idea where she got it and rather rare but she battled and is slowly recovering.

She will probably go to a rehab facility tomorrow or Friday 

and be on antibiotics for about 2 more weeks.

So with a minute to breathe I am finally trying to get the boys back on schedule. 

I went through my files to look for some cards I had not shared and 

found a baby card I made for church.

Bit of paper piecing on the horse:

I used Basic Grey's "Oliver" 6x6 pad and the 

rocking horse is from Lawn Fawn's "Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum" set.

I'm entering this in the Basic Grey Challenge #60: Something New

Always fun to celebrate a new baby.  

At mom's hospital they play a short lullaby on the intercoms each time a baby is born.  

Very sweet and a nice way to share a little joy among all the staff and patients. 

I have been trying to look at blogs on my iphone but gave up, just too hard to see so my apologies for not being out and about commenting.  

Take care,

Kelly

Supplies:

Stamps: SU sentiment, LF

Paper: BG

EP cards Abrams' Sketch #5

This is my final card for Lucy Abrams' Sketch week.  

If I may say so myself, this card turned out so cute. 

I loved the sketch which gave me such a great starting point.

Not sure if the polka dot paper gives it the 

boost of cuteness or the adorable tissue image from Lawn Fawn.  

Probably the combination of all three, eh?

 Side view.  I put a little flocking powder on the tissue for some texture. 

Here is her Sketch #5:

What a fun sketch week.  I hope you have enjoyed these cards inspired by Lucy Abrams.

The cards came together rather quickly.  You can go to her blog HERE to find links to other cardmakers' blog to see their interpretations of her sketches.

Supplies:

Stamps:  Lawn Fawn's "On the Mend" 

Papers:  Echo Park's "Metropolitan" 6x6 pad

Other: Memento ink, Honeydew Twine from The Twinery, clear button by Hero Arts

Thanks for looking,

Abrams sketch #4: CFC 34

Me again.

Today's card was inspired by Lucy Abrams' day 4 of her sketch week!

I took a few liberties with the sketch.  

I made my circle full.  It is a piece of painted chipboard.

I embossed the star on the top as well as the sentiment.  

I stamped the sentiment a tad too high for my liking so I added the gems the fill in the gap

Another card for my stash, most likely for a male birthday

I'll need a lot of them this spring!
