Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Encouragement Card featuring Simon Says Stamp
Now that I've gotten back to making time for card making, I can't stop! It feels good to get these ideas, that have been packed in my head, out onto paper. I still have at least one more card after this one to share :) For this card, I decided (again) to go back to the Mojo Monday 478 Contest. I used this card sketch and used the supplies from SSS Snow Much Thanks Card Kit - this time, using patterned papers AND solids to create a card - not just mix and matching paper with o
Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Scratch-off Birthday Card featuring Mama Elephant and SSS
Thank goodness for Mojo Monday! I feel like it definitely is helping me to find my card making mojo :) After I made my last card using the Mojo Monday 478 Contest sketch, I felt the urge to make another! I began again with the Simon Says Stamp Snow Much Thanks Card Kit. I pulled the patterned paper that looked like sprinkles and immediately thought "birthday card." I decided I wanted to bring out the pink from the patterned paper, so I used the pink paper from the kit and als
Mojo Monday 478 Contest | Spring New Baby Card featuring Lawn Fawn
Alright, so it's the first Monday of the new year, and I am determined to stick to the schedule that I have set for myself. Today, I promised I would create a card to share with you using the Mojo Monday sketch for this week, which is Mojo Monday 478 Contest. For this card, I wanted to pull my Simon Says Stamp January 2017 Snow Much Thanks card` kit, since I had yet to do anything with it other than take it out from the box and transfer it to a ziplock baggie. When I looked t
MFT Color Challenge 52 | Pets Leave Pawprints on Our Hearts
I began my new career in pet medicine a little over a month ago. Fortunately, during my time in this new career, I have only witnessed one euthanasia, thus far... However, during this time, I have seen many healthy pets, many sick pets that got better, and others who we were unsure of how much longer they would live. Though we may love our pets more than anything in the world, nothing can stop their lives from coming to an end at some point during our lifetime as we have long
Scrapbook & Cards Today Magazine Fall 2016 Call | Lawn Fawn Let's Toast!
Is anyone really ready to think about fall yet? I'm not! For me, I feel like summer has barely even started, and I have so much planned (crafty events) before the summer is over. Don't get me wrong, Fall and Spring are definitely my favorite seasons due to the somewhat mild temperatures. My comfortability is a sunny day, about 70 degrees, and a slight breeze, but not enough to mess up my hair! lol! Anyway, while I was searching online for some craft magazines I might consider
MFT Wednesday Sketch Challenge 278 | SSS July 2016 Card Kit Sending Comforting Hugs
When I get a SSS card kit, as long as it stays on my craft desk, I will continue to make cards from it. I try to do this so that I use up a good amount of the supplies before storing it away for future use when I'm lacking creative inspiration! For this card, I decided to use the My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge 278 to come up with the layout for my card. I picked out the pretty blue flower paper, decided I wanted to do a vellum overlay, and also incorporated tha
Mojo Monday #454 & Simon Says Anything Goes | SSS July 2016 Handwritten Floral Greetings Card Ki
My SSS July 2016 card kit finally came today! I know I always say it... but it's seriously like Christmas when it arrives; when ANY craft package arrives really :) Of course I had to open it right away and dig in to make a card! As much as I love my YouTube channel and sharing my card processes, it really take a lot of work to create a video from start to finish. Sometimes, I really do just like to create a card and not have to worry about whether I'm in frame while recording
Mojo Monday #453 & MFT Color Challenge 48 | SSS Dream Distress Ink Card
There were A LOT of challenges this week that I was interested in doing from sketch challenges to color challenges. I decided to pick both a sketch and color challenge as the base for my card idea. You'll see that I tweaked some things for each challenge to make my own individual card and design. I began my card by referring to MFT Color Challenge #48. The combination of colors was really pretty, and I was in the mood for making a distress ink background so I pulled distress
Mixed Media Distress Inks + Gesso Background | SSS Inside and Out Sayings
I've been wanting to dip into mixed media for a while now. I've had a mixed-media haul and collected various supplies here and here to add to my stash. However, I really haven't had the time to just play around with my stash and try out any ideas that I've had. Well, I finally sat down one day, pulled out my distress inks, some gesso, a palette knife, and a stencil, then got to work. I'm definitely not the one to know much about mixed-media and what the purpose is for each ty
Lawnscaping Challenge Off Kilter & Simon Says For A Guy | Anniversary Card
I've had the idea of this card in mind for a while now. As soon as I decided that I wanted to get my hubby burger themed items for our 2-year wedding anniversary, I wanted to make a burger-themed card to go with it! I picked up some Lawn Fawn stamp sets that I could use to make a picnic scene. I knew I already had a 6x6 pad of paper from My Favorite Things called County Fair Plaid that reminds me of picnic blankets. On top of all of this, the hubby and I decided to reminisce
