Lawn Fawn Holiday Week - Joyful Wishes!

I'm back with another card featured over on the Lawn Fawn blog. If you've missed any of the Fawny Holiday Week posts, hurry over there for some amazing inspiration and to enter for a chance to win some Lawn Fawn goodies!



 This card was so much fun to make using the Trim the Trim tree die as a stencil mask!
I filled in the space with the solid circle shapes from Let's Bokeh with different shades of green ink.
Then I stamped the red dots as ornaments.

While the mask was still covering the card I used Delicata gold ink to stamp and clear emboss the garland from Trim the Tree. After removing the mask I stamped the Winter Scripty Sayings sentiment with the same gold ink and clear embossed it as well. I die cut this panel with a Stitched Rectangle Stackables die and layered it with a Scalloped Rectangle die cut from dark green cardstock. The smallest Puffy Star Stackables die cut crowns the tree!



"Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. 
God will make this happen, for He who calls you is faithful"
1 Thessalonians 5:23-24

I'm so happy you stopped by,

Lawn Fawn Holiday Week - Let it Snow!

I'm so happy to take part in Lawn Fawn's "We Wish You a Very Fawny Holiday Week"!


Be sure to visit the Lawn Fawn Blog all week for awesome inspiration from their amazing Design Team along with the Lawnscaping Challenges Design Team and my buddies at Lawn Fawn HQ! There is a giveaway at the Lawn Fawn blog each day too so be sure to comment there for a chance to win a stamp set of your choice!

Here's my card that is featured over there today!

 I started with the large Stitched Circle Tag, die cut from Beachside paper. Then I die cut 2 strips of Forest Border and die cut them again with the Stitched Circle Tag to give them the stitched detail on the edges. I colored the trees with Copic markers and added Clear Wink of Stella.

I stamped Snowy Backdrops in Versamark ink on a kraft panel die cut with a Stitched Rectangle Stackables die, then white embossed. The snowflakes on the tag (from Toboggan Together) are also white embossed. 

 I embossed the Winter Scripty Sayings sentiment by first inking the stamp with Versamark ink, then inking with Lawn Fawn Peacock ink. The Versamark ink keeps the image wet long enough to add clear embossing powder and heat set.



"The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 
gentleness and self-control."
Galatians 5:22-23

Thanks so much for visiting!

Welcoming our new Granddaughter!

We finished out the month of October with a beautiful sweet treat! Our precious granddaughter, Eliana Grace entered the world at 10:27 am and immediately stole our hearts!



I had her all to myself for over an hour while mommy rested and daddy got something to eat. Such a precious time; she was awake the whole time taking in everything!



I am so happy that I saved the beautiful Girls' Paperie papers all these years so I could make this pretty banner for Eliana's nursery! I used Lawn Fawn's Stitched Party Banners and Louie's ABCs along with Strawberry Polka paper from Let's Polka Mon Amie. The banner was finished with an assortment of ribbons and lace tied between the banners.

they are a reward from Him"
