Thinking of You

So in case you can't tell I've had some down time this last weekend and this week during work.  I'm sure things will pick up very soon as the end of the month is approaching and I am heading to Australia for work for two weeks but until then I have another card to share. :) 

I actually have a bunch more on my computer for things I did for my recent wedding six months ago.  For any wondering where I had gone since I posted for a while but then went MIA it was because my now hubby proposed last April and since that time I have planned and executed a wedding, changed companies to take on a new job better suited to me and we built a house together.  In total I have moved now 4 times within a year!  But now we have been married about 6 months and things are starting to settle down and I am hoping to do much more scrapping so hopefully that means I will also update my blog more  often. :) 

So one of the things I have been obsessed with lately is my copics.  I already had a pretty decent sized stash but about two months ago Archiver's had a sale to buy one marker get one free!  Well needless to say I stocked up on a ton of them.  At my store they are $8/each so to get 2 for $8 was a STEAL!  My usual method has been to go to Hobby Lobby over my lunch break (sooo close to my new job) and use my 40% off coupon to buy one marker at a time.  So one of the color groups I was seriously lacking on was my browns to make more hair colors so that had been my goal lately.  One day I randomly went to get my one marker and Hobby Lobby had their Copics on clearance... they were $2.50/each!!!!!  Needless to say I made the sales person go through my list with me on what I had versus what was on sale.  It was Christmas in July!!!  So then I called my mom told her and she went and checked her Hobby Lobby.  They weren't as cheap as I found them at my store but she ended up buying me 4 more markers for my stash.  So as a thank you I made her this card with some of my newest stamps and used my Copics to color the image. :) 

The girl is the Simply Anya stamp from The Greeting Farm and I must say I am really loving her!  She was a lot of fun to color.  I can't wait to make her have lots of different hair colors.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp's Sentiments Inside and Out set.  It is kinda hard to read in the picture but it says Thinking of you when I made this card..... that's why I sent it to you (inside). 

Thanks for stopping by and remember comments are always welcomed! :) 

Lawnscaping Challenge #62 (yet again!)

Wow so 3 posts within 2 days... you would think I was busy crafting lately.  :)  This one is a repeat almost of an earlier card I had done for a friend and saw it when I was updating it with my first submission.  I thought hmmm I should recreate that and submit it for the Lawnscaping Challenge #62... it fits right in and I still think it's cute!  The stamp set for the clothes is from Hero Arts A Kiss From the Sun to You set and the sentiment was made using Claire's ABC's from Lawn Fawn.  All of the papers are Lawn Fawn.  The shirts and dress are from the Bright Side collection and the jeans are from Daphne's Closet.  I used Martha Stewarts's scissors to create the grass.  Oh and  that clothes line is made from Lawn Trimmings Lemon Cord.  I think this is an adorable card to use to set up playdates or simply thank people for coming by.  I hope you enjoy and who knows maybe I will win something! :)  I can always use new Lawn Fawn stamps but comments are always appreciated too!

Lawnscaping Challenge #62

Look at me... back so soon... :)  I don't know what it is but this week I'm feeling super creative! 

I have created a new card for Lawnscaping Challenge #62 from a sketch I love to go back to again and again.  To put the sentiment at the bottom and then the design above it.  This time I did paper piecing with the different layers of the flower.  In between each layer I put foam adhesive to help it stand out.  All the papers are from Lawn Fawn's Bright Side collection and the sentiment is from So Much to Say.  The flower is the Hand Drawn Flower from Hero Arts.  Hope you enjoy! 

Thanks for looking!

Lawnscaping Challenge

Okay so it's been FOREVER since I last posted but I'm finally going to add another post.  Mostly because I finally got around to doing a challenge.  So I was talking with the Hubby about how I have a stamp set that I like but honestly had never used because I didn't know what I would use it for so decided to go ahead and try and do something with it.  I actually think it came out pretty well!  I used Neenah Solar White Cardstock for the base and then Lunar Lights for the stamps and I put together the sentiment using Jessie's ABC's.  After I finished making it and took the picture it got handed to the Hubby because without having talked to him about this stamp set I wouldn't have thought to make it.  I honestly think it's one of the cutest yet so simple!  Oh the papers are from Pink Lemonade. 

The border along the bottom is from Mama Elephant's Basic Borders.  I hope you enjoy and maybe just maybe I'll win something! :D  That would be especially helpful since Lawn Fawn has been previewing their new stamps, dies and papers and there are some serious MUST HAVES on my list! 

Hope you all have a great day and with luck I'll be back here more often.  ;)
