Here is another birthday card which is a cased design from Mary F. , an amazing Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. I look at her blog on a daily basis and this card helped me get acquainted with my new Woodgrain embossing folder and my Apothecary Accents Framelits dies and paper piercing templates. Thanks, Mary!

  Here are two little layouts that showcase the Dewey Decimal patterned paper. I've been practicing using decorative paper. I'm a little timid about using it, but I thought these layouts worked with it. Thanks for stopping by. Stamps and decorative paper: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Here's my entry for Lawnscaping Challenge #44 : a pretty poor attempt at paper quilling which has been on a list of techniques for me to try. I know olives usually go into a traditional martini, but I smashed some glitter on pink paper to make a Shirley Temple martini so my dolphin does not get too silly. Now I am thinking that maybe my olive should have been a cherry. Then maybe my quilling attempt would have been over quicker. Well, at least I tried! Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Just a riff on Yainea's fun Lawn Fawn DT card for Hoppy Halloween with bunnicula sucking out the vitamins from the carrots. I loved that SO much. Tried to keep the pointy teeth motif theme with pointy pennants, tiny pinpoint dotted ribbon and a pointy staple. Stamps and decorative paper: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Welcome to my stop on the Lawnscaping Fall Blog Hop . You should have come to me by way of Christiana . We've had some great sleeping weather here in central Massachusetts. What about you? I was inspired by that, the covered bridge (a big thing here in New England) showing the row of support beams, and the vibrant yellow-orange colors. I made the hammocks out of the bottoms of the snowmen in the Making Frosty Friends set. Let me know if you need me to explain how. Also, the snowman arms are the rakes. Now, head on over to Danielle . If you've gotten off-track, don't worry! Head back to the Lawnscaping blog  to see the complete list of designers and prize information! This hop runs from Friday, October 5th, all the way until Sunday, October 7th. Make sure to comment on all of the blogs to be eligible for some FANTASTIC prizes! All of the details can be found on the Lawnscaping home page.

Well of course I am going to participate in this week's CASology theme. I LOVE animals! I've had three sets of friends have babies within the year and I've been needing some baby cards. This is for the latest new parents, who just had a boy. They decorated with a monkey theme, but I have no monkeys. I thought a koala was close enough.

  Got a little short on birthday cards so I played around with my new Birdie Told Me set from Lawn Fawn and the Dewey Decimal Petite Paper Pack. Also did battle with Stampin' Up's new Sticky Rounds to create the ribbon rosette. The rounds are like fly paper, so that ribbon is not going anywhere for sure.
