Summertime Fun with Lawn Fawnatics!

I hope you are all enjoying this sunny summer! At Lawn Fawnatics the new challenge theme is Summertime Fun! Here's your chance to show us what summer means to you! I hope you will join us!

I always love to be at the beach (anytime of year, but especially on sunny summer days)! I made a CAS card with minimal stamping to represent my love for all things beachy!

I used Louie's ABCs to die cut the letters to spell out beach and then I added beachy colors to the letters using Copic markers (E33, 31; BG09,18,02,01). I colored the sun from Spring Showers with Copics (YR31) as well. I added a little sentiment with Smitty's ABCs in Peacock ink.

Thanks for visiting today,

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.

"Children are a gift from the Lord;

they are a reward from Him"

Psalm 127:3

"May you live to enjoy your grandchildren."
Psalm 128:6

thank you so much for visiting!
