A Hello Card for Lanie!

Bought this Lost and Found paper when it came out last year and 

shoved it in my storage box.

Not sure why I bought it b/c it really doesn't go with anything I scrapbook and I ordered enough for a two page layout.  I have passed over this paper so many times over the past year trying to find the mojo to use it.

The current Lawnscaping Challenge is to dust something off and use it.  

Well, I did it.

I pulled all the papers and decided that it WAS going to be used!
 There's a couple stitches on this one too which is a rarity for me.

I came up with this little "hello" card that will be headed to Nikki Sivils who is doing a card drive for Lanie, her former employee who is battling cancer.

 

Supplies:

Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Quinn's ABCs" and "You've Got Mail"

Papers:  MME

Burlap Ribbon

I am also submitting this unto the Simon Says Stamp: Thinking Of You Challenge
B/c I am thinking of this woman and I hope this card will bring her joy and the Moxie Fab World Canvas, Cork and Burlap Challenge. 

Please consider joining this card drive and even the one I am hosting too 
called a Card Drive for Addison, my friend's little girl who was diagnosed 
with Leukemia at the end of September. Great prizes!

Thank for stopping by,

Kelly

More Picture Perfect Summer cards

Hi.

Sharing some cards I made using Lawn Fawn stamps and Echo Park's "Splash" collection.

These were given to my son's teachers. 

My original version is HERE.

My Quinn's ABC set was ruined after I made the first one 

(note to self: shut door to room when kid sitting) so I had to make some changes.

Add caption

The banner was cut out of the paper and the "String" was drawn by hand:

Stamps by Lawn Fawn: Quinn's ABCs, Harold's ABCs, Say Cheese, Swimsuit Season

Papers by Echo Park "Splash"

I am submitting these cards in the Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes Challenge

Today is the first official day of summer for the boys! 

Wish me luck, hee hee!!

BG63, SSS, L28: masculine birthday card

Been doing a lot of scrapbooking, but took a break to make a card  for 

one of many birthdays to come in our family.  

I decided to make one a little on the masculine side and used 

Basic Grey's "Oxford" papers with a splash of "Granola".  

I distressed the edges of the star panel and used two distress inks to color the "hi".

I love how it turned out.  Really matches! 

The pup was stamped on the same paper as the back panel, 

but I pounced him a little with Vintage Photo.

Gave the card a little mist of perfect pearls/water.

There's a metallic gem for the collar and a dot of shiny dimensional paint on his nose.

Supplies:

Papers: BG "Oxford" and "Granola"

Stamps: Lawn Fawn "Critters in the Burbs" and "Quinn's ABCs"

Ink: Memento black, Distress in Barn Door and Fired Brick, Vintage Photo

Other: Spellbinders Wonky rectangles, Sizzix star, Hemptique hemp cord, Perfect Pearls, TH edge distressor, gem, shiny fabric paint, Cuttlebug star

I am submitting card into the following challenges:

Basic Grey #63: Wish Upon a Star

Lawnscaping #28: Distress Mania
Simon Says Stamp: Anything Goes

Can you see my "watermark"?  

I have fiddled and fiddled and fiddled and FINALLY figured out how to do it!  
Just needs to be bigger...
