Happy Sunday, all!! Well, today starts the exciting March release of Lawn Fawn stamps!! I just have to tell you...you are going to be blown away this month {not that you aren't every month}!! The stamps are so much fun, and have so many possibilities!!
Today we are giving you the first peek into "Say Cheese" and "Say Cheese too"! These stamps are SO fun and trendy and awesome...the list of adjectives could go on and on. They are awesome for cards, and I think they would be completely awesome for scrapbooking as well! I don't scrapbook as much any more, but have been thinking that I might start up again....just on a less demanding level than before. And I would LOVE to use this set on a layout about my career choice...they just fit perfectly! Anyways...without further ado, here is the card I came up with for today:

And I would LOVE to use this set on a layout about my career choice...they just fit perfectly! Anyways...without further ado, here is the card I came up with for today:
"You're A Star" supplies:
Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (colored) & Papertrey Ink (white)
Stamps: Lawn Fawn (Say Cheese, Say Cheese too sets)
Ink: Tsukineko (Versafine: onyx black)
Jewels: Doodlebug Designs
Glitter: DecoArt
Corner Rounder: EK Success
Colored Pencils: craft supply
Instructions: Fold white cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners. Cut quarter inch strips of colored cardstock, and adhere to the middle of the card. Add a matching jewel to the right side of each strip. Stamp the camera to white cardstock and cut out. Color in parts with colored pencils, and then glitter. Adhere the camera to the middle of the card with foam adhesive. Stamp the sentiment and shooting star to the lower right corner of the card. Stamp the star to yellow cardstock twice, and cut out. Cover the stars in glitter, and then adhere to the card to finish.
When I first got this set in the mail, it reminded me of the actual rainbow Polaroid camera that I REALLY wish I owned, but can't really afford to purchase.
Well, I guess I should say it is more the FILM that I can't afford to purchase. You can actually find the cameras used for a fairly good price...but then you always run into the possible functionality issues of buying a used camera...I digress. I am probably not ever going to own one of these...but I like to look at pictures of them...they are so darn cute!! Tee hee!
I really hope that you liked my first example using the Say Cheese sets!! Don't forget to check out what the other Lawn Fawn girls have created as well...it is sure to be a treat!!
Happy Wednesday, everyone!! I hope that this afternoon post finds you having a good day so far!! I have been busy working on promotional material for some new product items that I want to offer my photography clients...so it has been a good day!!
Today is also the day that I take part in the Reject Blog Hop for the recent Paper Crafts "Go To Sketches" call. Tee hee! That title makes me laugh a little, although that is exactly what the cards are that didn't get picked up. Here is the thing...they had like 2700 something submissions for this call, so I didn't expect too much. I did get one card picked up for the issue, and that definitely makes me very happy!! So, yay!! But, this little card didn't make the cut for sketch #6. It isn't the most exciting card in the world, so I can see why. But, I still think it is pretty cute!! This card also fits the "Less is More" Week 5 challenge: to use pastel colors. Here is the card!

Accent each bracket side with jewels to finish.
I do have a few more cards that I made for the call, but I think I will share them sporadically. I might hold a few of them back for future submissions...so we shall see! I better get going for now, so have a great evening!! ♥♥♥
Until later,

Happy Tuesday, everyone!! I hope that you had a great start of your week yesterday. I got a bunch of emails sent out to prospective wedding clients, which had been hanging over my head for a couple of weeks. It NEEDED to get done, and I finally just sat down at my computer for quite a few hours and got it done. That is a good thing!!
I have a cute little clean and simple card to share with you today! I took the week off from the Make It Monday challenge last week, as I didn't have any fun foam in the house and didn't really want to run out and buy it when I most likely won't use it again. But, I am back in action this week with Make It Monday #5: Distressing Edges, and I love this easy and cost effective technique that Lisa Johnson shared with us for this challenge. I haven't ever wanted to purchase one of those edge distressing things because I wasn't sure how much use I would actually get out of it. {Hey- I'm frugal. I'll shout it from the rooftops...I don't like to buy unnecessary things! Tee hee!} But, I never though to just use the edge of scissors...which I have plenty of, trust me! Tee hee! I also used the current challenge at CR84FN18 (orange, yellow, kraft), and just added in a little bit of neutral white to make the dots & sentiment stand out a bit more. Here is what I came up with!

"Thanks a Million" supplies:
Cardstock: Papertrey Ink (white) & Recollections (kraft)
Stamps: Papertrey Ink (Dot Spot & Signature Series: Butterfly sets)
Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: amber, frost white) & Tsukineko (Momento Dye: dandelion)
Twine: Lawn Fawn Trimmings (Chipper bundle)
Jewels: Doodlebug Designs
Flower:Prima
Corner Rounder: EK Success
Diecut Machine: Cricut Expression by Provo Craft
Diecut Cartridge: Plantin Schoolbook by Provo Craft
Instructions: Fold kraft cardstock in half to make card base, and round the bottom corners. Cut one circle at 2" and three circles at 1.5" from white cardstock using a Cricut Expression and Plantin Schoolbook cartridge. Stamp the dot spots to each circle, and then distress the circle edges with a scissor blade edge. Adhere the circles across the front of the card. Tie twine around the card so that the bow lands in the center of the larger circle, and then embellish it with a paper flower. Add yellow jewels to the middles of the other stamped circles, and then stamp the sentiment to the lower corner to finish.
I really like how this card turned out!! I think "detailed" clean and simple tends to be one of my favorite styles. On another note...has anyone else noticed that kraft is really hard to photograph? And this is coming from a professional photographer...the camera sensor just doesn't seem to know how to capture the proper coloring of kraft. I end up having to do a lot of editing, and it still doesn't ever come out just right. I find that interesting...hmmm.
Anways...I better get going for now! I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your day! ♥♥♥
Until later,
