happy birthday, Kelly Marie!

Yay! Welcome to our {surprise} blog hop in honor of the sweet Kelly Marie, owner of lawn fawn stamps!  There is a long list of participants, so if you ever lose your way, you can refer to the full list of stops over at Tiffany's blog (click *here*)

You should have clicked over from Cristina's blog (my fawnie idol, by the way. I am constantly awed by the amazing stuff she creates!)

I hope Kelly is in a good mood by the time she reaches my blog.  This could go either way:

hee hee.  are you giving me a one-eyebrow stare, or an eye-roll? (because between this and the dancing hot dog card, I am definitely on a groan-inducing punny roll...)

I used critters on the farm, fanciful frames, into the woods, and milo's abcs to create this card.

Kelly, I hope we've put a smile on your face today!  You are such a beautiful person, so generous and kind, and I am honored to be getting to know you better and designing for lawn fawn!  mwah!  I hope you have an amazing 33rd birthday!

Keep on hoppin'! Your next stop is to the lovely Britta's blog.  click!

♥.

hot dog!

It's the last day of lawn fawn inspiration!  "Critters in the dog park" is such a cute set!  And it comes with matching dies!



For my card, I created a scene with one of the dogs (I am so not a dog person.  I have no idea what breed any of the dogs in this set are, but I think they are adorable!) and put him into a fanciful frame.  People hang paintings of their pets on their walls, right?  boldly striped walls, right?



hot dog!

Framed birdie baby {lawnscaping challenge}

April 1st, and no fooling - it's time for another lawnscaping challenge :)  Although, I'm not fooling when I say that the blog post title is the best I could come up with this morning.  I am beyond exhausted!  Anyone else with sick kids wanna give me a holla?  Misery loves company *wink*



Back to the challenge: we're asking you to get creative with embossing!  For my sweet birdie card, I embossed the frame with an aqua powder (from zing!) and then colored it in with copic markers.  I fussy-cut it out, and stamped a little scene using images from "home sweet home."



I stamped all of the elements, and then masked them all to be able to add my clouds in the background.  The sentiment is just so perfect for a family welcoming their first child... I love it.

I hope you make time to play along.  We're sponsored by Simon Says Stamp this week:

Have a happy day!
