Decorated Bag & Teacher gift

Hi.

I am sharing a bag I decorated for our little guy's preschool teacher.

She has been just so sweet and loving towards our little guy as well as others and it is kinda sad to see him move on from "Miss Julie".  This is a little end-of-the-year gift for her. 

Inside the bag is an insulated cup with her first initial, lip gloss with SPF, sunscreen, a pack of tissues and some small drink flavor packs all to wish her a happy summer!

I inked up the front of the bag with Linen first to see how the ink would do and then added the other colors.  It "stuck" to the fold on the front, but I covered that part with my handmade grass.  This also added some texture to the front.   

I stamped the Lawn Fawn images on different Basic Grey papers and cut them out.  I added some Stickles and Liquid Pearls here and there for some fun. 

I thought the bag would be more reusable with "thank you" on the

front vs. a happy summer theme. 

What's inside:

Christmas/Winter card in May??

Howdy.

Inspired by FOUR different challenges, I created the Christmas card below.

I finished a layout using the Basic Grey Jovial line so figured I use some of the scraps and get a "jump" on the holidays.

The bunny was stamped several times on Kraft (sled), white (body),

cream (background) and BG stripe (scarf). 
The bunny was paper pieced, flocked and given a dollop of liquid pearl on the tail.
The sled was pieced also.

I really love how this card turned out. 

I love the layering in the sketch which highlights the beautiful patterns
 in this BG line of papers.  I have trouble layering and the sketch REALLY did the work!

I opted for the charm saying "wonderful" in case I decide to use it as a birthday card later...

Lawnscaping & Cupcake Craft: Party/C

Hi there!

Today's project is a birthday party invitation I made for our son's upcoming 6th birthday.

He had a Lightning McQueen birthday when he was four, but wants the same theme again.

He was probably inspired by the new movie coming out in June!

He wants a cake with a desert scene and cars.

I just used some car stickers from my stash vs buy Lightning McQueen ones. 

I am entering it into the Lawnscaping Challenge: Let's Party. 
The banner is from Lawn Fawn's "Bannerific" and "Harold's ABC"

I am also entering this into the Cupcake Craft Challenge:  Begins with "C". 
I have a Circle card with a Car!

Supplies:

Stamps:  LF "Bannerific" and "Harold's ABC"

Ink: Memento

Paper: HL

Stickers: HL or M's

Party On!
