Before I jump in with this week's Lawnscaping Challenge,
I just wanted to give you guys a quick update.
My last post was actually scheduled since I was out of town,
so the last time I actually spoke with you all "in person"
was THIS POST where I shared the six piece card set I'd made
for the writer's conference I was heading to later that day.
Well, I'm back, obviously, ;o) and I had THE BEST time!
It was everything I'd hoped it would be and more.
I got to hang out with fabulous people,
stay in a gorgeous hotel with an incredible shower,
I learned so much about the craft that I am so passionate about,
I freaking WON third place in the Short Story contest
which was judged by industry professionals,
I placed sixth in the contest with the other short story I entered,
I won a "great-opening-lines" game played with my peers,
and most importantly, I came home with the self-confidence
that I've always been sorely lacking.
It was an amazing, amazing weekend, and I can't wait
for next year's conference!
So now, jumping right into the reason you're here:
Welcome to Lawnscaping Challenge #35!
Our challenge is generously sponsored by the
incredible Simon Says Stamp!
Since I've been home, I've been enjoying testing my wings,
trying new things, in particular, mixed-media.
I decided to alter a canvas for my design team project.
using Lawn Fawn's Critters Ever After and
papers from My Mind's Eye Lost & Found collection.
And, I even found time to film a tutorial,
which is a part of our new Lawnscaping Fresh Cuts video series.
I hope you enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteI come from Christy's writer side of the world and am simply amazed at how creative you are with paper medium. Wouldn't it be fun to have a group of writers make up canvas scenes with inspiration sayings or dieters?
ReplyDeleteReally nice Christy! I've really been into mixed media lately but haven't tried it yet. This is such a cute little project idea to start with for me. Absolutely love it! TFS!
