Simon Says Stamp Blog Party - Sending Love

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to today's Blog Party. In these difficult times I am so grateful to SSS for keeping our/my spirit up by organazing events like this! I am so excited to start hopping and be inspired to create something new - I am still working but I just started Easter break which means time off and lots of crafting time now that we aren't supposed to go out and socialize...
This is the perfect time to send someone a Little note of love to cheer them up:




Remember that you can use SSS's awesome Project List to save Everything on your wishlist so that when they open for shipping again you have Everything ready!

    Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Inspiration


    Hi Everyone!

    I'm here to share more inspiration for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. This time, - because Lawn Fawn just turned 10 -  our theme is Birthdays and this is my take:



    I used lots of my favorite Lawn Fawn goodies to create this card!  I started by making a panel to which center I inked a cloudy sky bg using the puffy cloud border and created my own stencil. I then diecut Another panel and created a window by using the LACY-HEART-STACKABLES. For the landscape I used grassy hillside borders and the Beautiful spring tree from TREE-BEFORE-N-AFTERS. I then stamped images that I colored and die cut to complete this Little spring/summer scene that can be used for many types of occasions.




    Make sure to pop over to the Lawn Fawnatics blog for lots of wonderful inspiration from my talented teamies and for all the info you need to play along!  By entering a card you have the chance of winning a 25 $ gift card to the Lawn Fawn Store ! You also have the chance to have your card featured on the blog and on LF instagram! For even more LF inspiration visit the LF blog:
