with hugs and love

This week I'm on call for jury duty.  I'm glad to serve the community.  While waiting, what's better than putting a new post on my blog?

I'm continuing with my mini-series of cards using the same Lawn Fawn set.  I can't say how much I love it enough!  Versatile, fun and pretty!


This time I'm using the sentiment that comes with the set.  My friend just needed a pick-me-up and I think it's perfect for her.  This card is so easy to make, and the sentiment in the center can be changed to anything.  Perhaps a "hello" or "thanks" die cut will make it super awesome too!

Happy Birthday

The Fab Flowers Stamp and die from Lawn Fawn is just an awesome set!  The flowers can be arranged in so many ways and of course with different color combinations the possibilities are endless.


When I first saw this set I didn't see I would fall in love with it but after I've bought it I couldn't stop playing with it!  This is the birthday card I made for my SIL:






I love that it is so easy and guess what?  Because you can always make something different with it, the novelty never wears away!

Mother's Day card

I hope you all had a fun National Scrapbooking Day last weekend. I went to a small crop with a friend and we sure had fun.


I didn't scrapbook but I got several cards done.  They all made use of the Lawn Fawn Fab Flowers stamp and die.  I didn't bring much with me to the crop and with that set, I made several cards.  So glad that I got my mom's and my grandma's Mother's Day cards completed. :)


This one goes to my mom:



I had so much fun making this one.  The one for my grandma is very similar.  Will share that soon.

Shaped birthday card

Happy Monday!

My blog has gone really quiet for the last two weeks.  I was travelling for work non-stop.  Although I like to be away from the office from time to time, I also miss the time that I can actually sit at my desk and focus on work.  Sometimes, spending hours a day on the road is draining, and if I hit traffic jams, I sing to the songs on the radio to keep myself entertained.

But things are getting back to normal and that means I'll have time to craft! :)

I'm sharing a birthday card today:


It is a shaped card and it makes all the difference!  So much fun!  The card front doesn't say happy birthday and honestly, I couldn't find a space to stamp that.  LOL.  The birthday cake itself will make it obvious. :)
