designing with lawnscaping.

Hi all!

I'm beyond thrilled to have landed a spot as a regular designer for the lawnscaping challenge blog!  Y'all know (see, so excited that I'm talking southern) how much I love my lawn fawn stamps... I think it's a perfect fit.

Check out Laurel's big announcement on the lawnscaping blog!

Even though the new girls are only starting in July, I thought I'd share a card I made just for my sister:

A little back-story:  I had absolutely no idea what sentiment to pair with the platypus image from "critters down under."  A google-search later, I found out that discoverers couldn't believe such an animal even existed, and that the platypus is seriously the weirdest looking animal ever.  After mulling over some other sentiments, like "be unique," or "it's okay to be different," I got a call from my sister.  She and her husband are in the midst of a whole-house-renovation.  And little things keep going wrong.  But, there was a problem with the staining of their hardwood floors that had her sounding so stressed.  I thought a funny card would help brighten their day :)  Funny to me, anyways!

Have a great day, and see you back here tomorrow afternoon for my next Gallery Idol project!
