Happy Birthday Pup

Good morning!

Just thought I'd stop in and share a birthday card

I made recently for one of my son's little friends.

With the sweet Lawn Fawn pup, balloon,

and sentiment, and some bright My Mind's Eye papers,

this card was a snap to put together.

I hope you enjoyed it!

Have a fantastic day!

Lawnscaping Challenge #28

Hey there!

Welcome to Lawnscaping Challenge #28!

This challenge is being sponsored by the 

incredible Lawn Fawn!

The winner will receive a fantastic prize,

especially considering all the new sets that 

will be released at the end of this month!

Here's my Distressed card:

I needed a birthday card for my sweet and sassy

friend and fellow writer, Alice, who turned 80 yesterday!

She is seriously the coolest chick I know.

I thought she would appreciate this vintage-style card

using Crate Paper's Portrait collection,

Antique Linen and Vintage Photo Distress Inks,

and a sentiment from Sophie's Sentiments.

I hope you enjoy it too!

Floral Designs

Hey everybody!

Thought I'd do something a little different today.

I think most of you know that I work as a

Floral Designer at my local A. C. Moore.

Last January when I got the position, 

I shared a few of my (sad) first attempts with you,

but I haven't shared any of my arrangements since then.

Last Saturday evening, after I punched out,

I walked around and took a some photos of a couple

of my designs that I could reach. ;o)

What can I say? I'm short. And a lot of them are high up.

Anyway, I thought maybe y'all would 

be interested to see them.

Prices are always reflected on the actual cost of product used.

A few of these are large "show piece" arrangements,

others are smaller and more reasonably priced. :o)

Enjoy!

I'll tell you what, it's a great feeling to get to go to work

and be creative every day.

I'd love any comments!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Lawnscaping Challenge #27

Hello!

Welcome to Lawnscaping Challenge #27!

This challenge is all about sharing the LOVE.

And it's sponsored by the wonderful Simon Says Stamp!

Who has very generously offered up this awesome prize:

On to my card!

If this looks just a little bit familiar, 

you may recognize it from this similar card

I made for the Lawn Fawn CHA challenge.

At the time, I stamped several versions of this image

and sentiment because I loved the idea so much.

I thought this challenge would be the perfect opportunity

to take it and put a fresh, new spin on it.

Here's the result:

I also took a little wedding favor that

was so cute, I just couldn't throw it away,

and repurposed it by stamping a new tag and 

tying on a sweet red ribbon.

Perfect for holding little Valentine goodies.

I hope you like it!

Please also stop by the rest of the amazing design team 

member's blogs and leave them some comment love.
