Hi there! It's the second day of Lawn Fawn's December inspiration week, and we're showing off the brand-spanking-new set, You Turn Me On.
You may be wondering why I stamped a custom sentiment, instead of the one included in the set. There's a story.
I was stamping lightbulbs while the kids were around (which means Maia was stamping lightbulbs.) Then, she picks up the set, turns to me and asks what the sentiment says. Thomas comes running up (he's a bit of a busybody) and tells her: it says you turn me on.
For the next minute, the children are talking about how much they like saying "you turn me on" and I am turning all shades of red. I snatched up the stamp set and announced that I would make a special sentiment for all of us. hahahaha.
Call me a prude, but something about a 5 year old saying: "you turn me on" is a bit out of my comfort zone. Even if they are paired with adorable lightbulbs.
I made my custom sentiment with Milo's ABCs, and heat-embossed it onto a strip of black cardstock. Behind the lightbulbs, I did a little sponged hot-pink background and flicked on some white paint before adhering the lightbulbs.
I hope you like it! There's more to see on the Lawn Fawn blog today - click!

This is adorable!!
ReplyDeleteLOL. I "like your story", but I am with you, (not exactly a prude either) but some things just don't sound appropriate coming from young children. However, your card is super cute and I DO love those happy faces.
ReplyDeleteso so so cute! and yeah, i agree. the sentiment is perfect for your s.o. but maybe not a kiddo. ;)
ReplyDeleteHa, ha I love the story behind the custom sentiment...great card.
ReplyDeleteI loved your card because of your sentiment, for those of us who don't have a significant other, can't use the turn on phrase for my grown up son, but he sure lights up my life and there are lots of times I could use your sentiment. Make a stamp!!,pretty please.
ReplyDeleteI echo the others, as a mom with 2 young girls I feel in love with your card when I saw it and your choice in sentiment is PERFECT!
