A Delightful Thank You

I love new stamps.....I really love new stamps! And when they are sweet and versatile like the new Lawn Fawn stamps I love them even more!

I wanted to send a special thank you note to Kelly's mom, Gloria, for taking such good care of us while we were in Chicago for CHA. I was treated like a princess and even stayed in a "Princess Room"....

I had a bit of time to lounge on my first morning in Hinsdale....got up before the sun warmed things up.

Gorgeous chandeliers were a theme throughout the house and garage.....

....so with that inspiration I combined some older and some brand new Lawn Fawn stamps to make my thank you card.

Please forgive my lack of posting lately.....I have been pretty busy working at Lawn Fawn HQ. We've been packing up all the new stamps, papers, stickers and twine to ship to your favorite stores. I personally packed the boxes that were sent to Simon Says Stamp.  Look for all the new "Dewey Decimal" and "Fa la la" products later this week! And check out the fabulous giveaway on the Lawn Fawn blog as they celebrate Fall/Winter Release Week. You could win them all!

I'm hoping to be back to my regular posting schedule....I've got lots of projects on my To Do list and I can't wait to share them with you.

Sending a Sweet Greeting

I saw that Jennifer McGuire's friend Jana has organized a unique way for everyone to send wishes welcoming her new baby girl. Jennifer had her sweet baby on Mother's Day, isn't that just perfect? So I wanted to send along my welcome to Lila Grace who I'm sure is blessing her family. Congrats to the McGuire family on your precious new addition!

Sunshine on a Rainy Day

We've got sunshine and showers here in SoCal today....and some thunder and a bit of gusty wind. It's a weather smorgasbord! Since I really want some sunshine, I thought I would create some sunny projects with the bits and pieces sitting on my desk. I was inspired by the April Challenge themes at Hero Arts.

This tag just sort of designed itself....the Newspaper Background was already stamped on the tag and the rest of the pieces were left over from playing with Gelatos. Those of you who visit often know I'm partial to sunshine-y golden colors, so no surprise that's what was sitting around.

The text strip was even cut out already (from Cosmo Cricket Odds n Ends) just waiting for an assignment. The scalloped piece is by Hero Arts, stamped on canvas that was colored with Gelatos. The piece on the bottom is another HA stamp that was colored with Gelatos, spritzed and then stamped for a watercolor look. "Inspire" is a really old metal embellie from my stash. I colored it with Copics then clear embossed several times.

This is a mini card made from a 3" flower punch. The little flowers were punched from Lawn Fawn Bright Side scraps. The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts set called Anytime Messages.
