Hi, readers. It has definitely been a long time between posts and I apologise. There are blogs I visit daily, forget hourly, yet mine has remained blank for over two months. Since then, I have been coping with the passing of my uncle/godfather, adjusting to additional duties at my workplace, doing some soul searching, and trying to lose a few pounds lol. On the artistic side, I recently discovered Zentangle, and have thrown myself into it with all my heart and soul. Only problem is.... I'm afraid to post my tangles! It was different with stamps, but now I truly consider myself and artist in recovery (it was my summa cum laude major in college!!!) with a lot to show but still scared to show it. Anyway, I truly appreciate your time to read and review and hope you will continue to subscribe. I still retain a love for Lawn Fawn stamps, and if I ever sell a Zentangle, you can bet I'll be throwing that into the LF stamp kitty!

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!

Happy Sale-a-bration 2013 to all you Stampin' Up! fans! This Patterned Occasions set is possibly one of the cutest SAB sets that I have ever seen in all my SU! years. I'll likely be using this often. Once you use the dotted embossing folder to make a stack of middle layers with your Big Shot, this card could make a great Ten Minute Totable for this month to carry around in your bag. I used Cameo Coral and Chocolate Chip markers, Sahara Sand scraps and the small/large oval punches. That way you can show someone how to stamp something really quick and cute (omg, remember THAT old SAB set?) Stamps and 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!
