Working on some holiday cards for the first time in a long time. I have a nine-month old baby and a pottery painting studio that are both starting to sort themselves into a smooth enough routine so that I can get back to my hobbies. Using Stampin' Up! cardstock, Lawn Fawn decorative paper and stamps and drawing my own emoji faces and loops using a bit of Zentangle. This could end up being a make and take for the studio, too. So if you like them, let me know!

First anniversary card also using Lawn Fawn Dewey Decimal decorative paper.

We're working on some card making classes over at Clayground. This uses Lawn Fawn and Hero Arts stamps and Stampin' Up! Supplies. It demonstrates a direct to paper technique.

In celebration of their Summer 2014 new stamps launch.

Made another trip to Ink About It in Westford last week to get this adorable set. One of my friends celebrated her birthday last week at a chinese restaurant she loves so I had to make this for her. Stamps  and decorative paper:Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Here's a tiny token for a friend who gave me an unexpected gift last week, a great book to read and keep. I needed to play with some Lawn Fawn after all the Zentangle practice! Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

It's been so long since I've played with my Lawn Fawn stamps. I've already asked my dear 'ol mum to take me on a stamping trip for my birthday to Ink About It in Westford. They have the latest series of LF stamps and I really need to update my collection! While not stamping I have been taking this time to update my portfolio of "work work" which you can now see up there on the right. It's been really therapeutic to get organized but I am missing my hobby!

Using sketch 2 from Operation Write Home to make a general card for the troops. This additional critter below is my Pubbadools. He is super chill about mommy being home today.

Wow, it has been a while since I posted. Thought I'd tack on this little card. I'm placing it at my father's graveside for Father's Day in protective plastic. I took inspiration from OWH's sketches. This was their very first one! I'm starting from scratch to warm up my brain for more card challenges. I'm pretty sure my dad will love this. He alays wanted me to do watercolor art. Close enough?

Here's a quick entry for CASology #26 . Just trying to imagine not going stir crazy all cooped up inside the house on a blustery day and I came up with this. My birds are taking turns thawing from the outdoors under a lamp. Hope you like it! Stamps and decorative papers: Lawn Fawn Post stamp and supplies: Stampin' Up!

Here's a little entry for Lawnscaping Challenge #49 . It is their birthday anniversary and I wanted to thank them for maintaining such an awesome site. It looks like a lot of work to host a blog like this so I really appreciate how fun Laurel makes it. Here's to you, birthday blog! Stamps and decorative paper: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Sounds like a meal at a health food restaurant, eh? Just playing around with some Lawn Fawn decorative paper scraps. I'm always running low on birthday cards so I made this one last night with "Happy Birthday" stamped on the inside. This is a cased layout from an SU! demonstrator. I'll post her name as soon as I find it in my files!!!! Stamps and decorative paper: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

...so he got this card in return. I had to work fast, but it went over very well. I combined an idea for a news clipping I saw on MyFonts along with a trend of making faces on top of faux tealights. He really does look like that! Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Have a lovely holiday week! Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

This traditional candy is my focal point for CASology week #24 . I hope all CASology fans have a peaceful holiday week and a prosperous 2013. Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

Here is my entry for Lawnscaping Challenge #48 . I tried to capture the sparkle of glitter on the list but it does not show up too well. If anyone has a trick to make glitter twinkle in a photo, please let me know! At least I got the rhinestone nose on the reindeer to look luminous. I hope all you Lawn Fawn fans have a great holiday time. I hope Santa brings me more of their stamps! Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

I finally got to play with Quinn's ABC's. It is a great set. This is a hybrid card with the rest of the words printed in my favorite font. "Just wavin' hello" is stamped on the inside. Stamps: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!

I made nine of these little guys last night for Operation Write Home. I also stamped matching envelopes with hearts for them. The inside reads "Happy Valentine's Day." This is a simple one-layered card; hope you like it. BTW, Operation Write Home is accepting Valentine cards until December 31.

My poor uncle is not feeling so hot lately so hopefully this card will cheer him up when I send it to him. I cased this layout from Julie D. Stamps and decorative papers: Lawn Fawn; supplies: Stampin' Up!
