talk nerdy to me {new lawn fawn!}

I love anything bookworm-themed. As soon as I saw the cute little worm from Bugs and Kisses, I knew I would have him draped over the Science of Love textbook.

It's the last day of Lawn Fawn's December release reveals, and I bring you:

The nerdiest valentine's day card ever. Maybe we've stepped away from the kiddie class valentines on this one, hee hee. Especially since every time my hubs walks by this card, he starts with the horn riff from that song.



I love lawn fawn's new stitched circle dies! The come as a nested set, so it's not hard to fit the right size to frame your focal image.  I also used Riley's ABCs to create my custom sentiment, and the library card from Check This Out.

I hope you like it!

There's more to see on the Lawn Fawn blog today!

thanks for a great year!

Hi there! I thought I'd pop in with a few end-of-year cards that I made. I haven't been card-making much (so, not blogging much either) but I'm working on making party decorations that I can't wait to show you.

Has the school year ended for your kids?  Ours drags on for another 3 weeks and 2 days... we're all counting down.  On the plus side, at least I still have plenty of time to get my teacher cards and gifts put together.

My first card was inspired by Cristina's stunner. (click!)

I added a book to the line-up,



and opted for the new "thanks" die instead of the individual letter dies.



My second card had me cutting more than stamping:



I downloaded a pencil-shaped card file from the silhouette store, and cut it out onto one 12x12 sheet of ivory cardstock. All of the colors were sponged on or colored on after the cutting. I find that so much easier than sending all of the different colors of cardstock through the machine.  I stamped the lawn fawn sentiments directly onto the pencil.

I hope you like them!

Science of love {lawn fawn inspiration week}

Hey there, and welcome to lawn fawn's valentine inspiration week!  All of the products will be available as of December 12th.  We're kicking things off today with my very favorite set, science of love:



Truth be told, science classes were always the worst for me, but I still remember what color plus what color equals purple!



I sponged on a kind of green ooze in the background - can you see it?  And then added the beakers and test tube on top.  The solutions are all nice and glossy, even though you can only really see it in the purple solution.



I wish I had some hot cinnamon heart candies to put in there!  I had to settle for some jube-jubes that we had in our stale candy stash. (everyone has a stale candy stash, right? for emergency situations, like when your husband calls and says he'll be late coming home from work and the kids are already crying because you told them it's shepherd's pie for supper. a little sugar to save your sanity.)

I hope you like it!  Be sure to check out the giveaways on the lawn fawn blog this week!
