Lawn Fawnatics #123 Create a Scene

I don't think it's just me, but time seems to be just flying by. We are looking ahead to the beginning of May! I didn't make many Easter cards this year but I did have a few on my desk that I was able to finish up for the newest Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #123: Create a Scene!

I have a few Lawn Fawn stamp sets that I continually go back to every year. Using Chirpy-Chirp-Chirp, Happy Easter, Reveal Wheel Spring and Scripty Bubble Sentiments I was able to make a few cute Easter scenes.

Thanks for stopping by!

Easter Bunny

Hard to believe that Easter is already here!  I hope that spring has found you, it is playing peek-a-boo here.   Warm one day and freezing the next, I'm sure that mother nature is just gearing up for one awesome summer--right?

A quick card today using the new bunny die from Lil' Inker and some patterned paper from Lawn Fawn. I still have a few more things to finish up for Easter, there hasn't been a lot of time in my craft room this week with Ben home.  We are packing him up again as he leaves for his summer co-op/job on Sunday. He is driving so you know I am not going to settle until I know he arrived. Hopefully we are going to visit him next weekend.  Still can't believe how fast my kids have grown up!

I felt the sentiment was too big to put on the front of the card, so I stamped it inside.  That is not the norm for me, I usually leave the inside of my cards blank.  That way I can write whatever I want inside. Do you stamp a sentiment on the inside of your cards?

Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge - Confetti Crush

 photo source: polkadotprintsstudio.blogspot.com

We have a fantastic new sponsor, Reverse Confetti, for the Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge: Confetti Crush!  The LEAD of this challenge will receive a gift certificate to the Reverse Confetti store!

For my project I created a Tab Tuck card using the new Reverse Confetti Office Edgers dies and following the lovely Sarah Gough`s video tutorial HERE. These are seriously fun and addictive! I also used some scraps of my coveted and long since retired Imaginisce, For Peeks Sake, Patterned Paper!





   

The Curtain Call is over the moon that the owner of Reverse Confetti, Jen del Muro, is joining us today for the Confetti Crush challenge.

The 12 Kits of Occasions - March '14

It's time for the 12 Kits of Occasions March Kit reveal!

Kelly was our hostess this month with a gorgeous kit of goodies for Easter and spring!

I created 5 cards with Kelly's kit but I have so much more left to create with. I can't wait to see what the rest of the team has done so I can get some ideas to CASE.  For my first card I used the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #70 for my design.

I used RetroSketches #108 for this next card.

Finally all lined up on my window sill.

Pop on over to The 12 Kits of Occasions blog so that you can go around and see what the rest of the team has done with this kit!  When you head over there we would love to hear what you think of our new blog design.

All the supplies are listed on The 12 Kits of Occasions blog under the new tab Monthly Kit Supplies 2014 HERE!

CCC #83

Time for this week's new Cue Card at CASology!

Funny how one holiday rolls right into another.  Christmas to Valentines to Easter.  For this week's cue word I couldn't resist the Lawn Fawn bunny I bought after Easter last year. He is making his appearance today on a fun and playful card. The bunny and his trail would be a bit crowded on a card with portrait orientation.  So to give the images room to breath I switched it up to landscape orientation.  The egg was fussy cut and coloured, I added some shading to the bunny, of course a pink nose and a bit of Wink of Stella on his tail. 

Hope you have a HOPPY day!

Head on over to CASology today to learn what the 'cue card' means to you, how you can play along and see the all the cards created by the Design Team to inspire you.
