Critters in the 'Burbs - Lawn Fawn Inspiration week

Hi!
It's last day of June Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week and today we're featuring all the new coordinating dies from old sets: Critters in the 'Burbs, Critters Down Under, Critters on the Farm and Plus One.

For my card I'm using Critters in the 'burbs, there are lots of cards using this set out there but I never get tired of it, it's a favorite and a must have! Don't you think?

When I saw these sweet cards from Humblechan, I knew I wanted to use that sentiment in the same way, I mean, what a super sweet card to receive when you adopt a new friend, right? Also, I always loved her cards, she's one of my favorites and I know her love for animals just sums to it :)



I wanted to keep the card simple, the background is colored with watercolors, I wanted it very soft, and then, yep!! No Copics on this one!!

After two months of waiting I finally have my box of Prismacolor pencils!! Yaaaay!! I was thinking a lot about purchasing them or not, they're not cheap! And since I was a child pencil coloring has been my least favorite, lol! But Copics are expensive too, and some of my Copics needed a refill so... I saved some money and I placed an order ;)

My impressions? I LOVE them!! I used them alone and with a Gamsol kit (this card is made with the kit) and they're easily blendable, the colors are really pretty and you don't need three tones to achieve a good blending, most times just one pencil looks great :) I'm still a newbie but I've been playing, I had a lot of fun and I'm really happy with the results! So you're definitely seeing me coloring with these new babies a lot!

Don't forget to visit the Lawn Fawn blog for more inspiration and a video and comment there on all the Inspiration Week posts to enter the giveaways! Good luck!

My little book of animals - Lawn Fawn & Punky Sprouts mini album

Hi!!
How is your week going so far? I've been very busy lately! The people of Punky Sprouts sent the Lawn Fawn DT some of their mini albums to play, I want to thank them because the albums are totally awesome!!

When I received my Punky Sprouts mini album I was struggling with what to do because scrapbooking is not my thing... I was going to give it a try with my pets or pictures from my land but suddenly I had an idea: a mini book for children about animals, making it fun with some games and interactivity.

Well, I loved the idea and I started to work on it... You know when your idea starts growing by itself and it gets out of your control? LOL It happened and when I wanted to keep the book simple and add only a few things... Well it ended like this and it took me A LOT of hours to finish it.

Using the front page as a guide, I cut a piece of cardboard to add to the first pages

The fun part pf these mini albums is that you can go creative and add elements like manila tags, acetate sheets... everything! I added an acetate sheet for a little guessing name here:

I know, it's not very hard :P but the solutions are behind the sheet!

Sea animals is one of my favorite pages, each one of the animals has its name hidden and you can pull out to see it

The Critters on the Savanna are stamped on sticker paper so the glasine bag is full of stickers to full the Savanna landscape!

Who is disguised in the snow? Just follow the numbers with a pencil to find it out! (Yes, I'm like a little girl, hahahaha)

For the Australian critters (sorry Aussi people, I know Oceania is not only Australia but I didn't find a better name, I accept suggestions!) I made a little envelope and I created a list of curiosities about all those cute animals.

Finally, one of my other favorites (because I love this Lawn Fawn set) I left the animals this way so the children could color them. Also, the name of each animal is hidden so they complete the blanks first :)

The end!  I hope you've enjoyed my "little" project :)

I want to say that I don't have children in my life, this means I thought about all this with no experience, I don't know if it is balanced or for what age it is suitable... I just trusted my inner child so, please, forgive my mistakes :)

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today, have a wonderful day!!

Lawn Fawn August Inspiration Week - A birdie told me / Happy Everything

Hi there!
Yay! Here it is, my favorite time of the month! It's Lawn Fawn inspiration week! Today the DT is featuring a pair of cute 4x6 stamp sets that complement each other perfectly.
I was looking for the perfect conversation bubble set for months and I'm in love with what Kelly designed! :)

I've made two cards, using the two new paper collections, Dewey Decimal and Fa La La. I love the puppy popping out the drawer to wish a happy day, so cute! :)

A closer view :)

For the second one I used the bubble as a border for the sentiment, following the same sketch of the first one for creating a Christmas card.

Lawn Fawn June Inspiration Week - Belinda's Borders

Hi and welcome to another Lawn Fawn inspiration week!
First of all, sorry for not posting lately. I had some cards to share but I've been very bussy due to work and one of my dogs having surgery, he's happy and recovered now :)

But you're here to see what I've made with Belinda's Borders, right? ;) This set is one of those super versatile and must have sets. As soon as I received it, more ideas have been coming to my mind on how to use it!

So I made two cards :)
The first one is a happy card featuring the stamps of the set as background / stamped patterned paper makers. I used almost all the stamps on the sets (except the hearts one) to make a card that could be used to welcome a new neighbour, for example.

On the second card I used one of the stamps to make a frame (I drawed the inside square by hand with a white gel pen)

I hope you like what I came up with! For more inspiration please visit Lawn Fawn blog and the other DT member's blogs, they're amazing! :)

Guest designer - Lawnscaping challenge #30

Hi!
Some time ago I received an email from the sweet Laurel inviting me to join this challenge as guest designer... Yay! Of course I want to join! Lawnscaping is my all-time favorite challenge and is the place where I was born as crafter so it's a big honor joining those wonderful girls :)

This time, the challenge is about making a project inspired by another crafter and it's a lot of fun thinking how you could change a card from another person, what techniques were used or how something is made. I had a really fun time thinking about all that! So please join us! I'd love to see all your cards ;)

Lawn Fawn is sponsoring this challenge so you know what this means... you could choose one of the new amazing stamp sets if you're chosen as winner!

This is my card, can you guess who made the original one? I hope so!

Please check the original card by Chari :)

I love her Halloween card! It's cute and the background is gorgeous. But it isn't time for Halloween cards so I converted it into a Spring card. I tried to make an opposite card keeping the original idea, so I used soft colors instead bright ones, black embossing powder instead of white embossing powder and patterned papers instead of black cardstock. I hope you all like it, but especially Chari because I know her original card is a challenge winner and it's hard to make justice to such an amazing card :)

Be sure you check out the Lawnscaping blog for all the challenge info as well as all the DT members blogs for more inspiration. Chari is guest designing too and there are 2 new additions to the DT!

Supply list:
- Lawn Fawn stamps: "Lunar Lights", "Critters in the 'burbs" and "Sally's ABCs"
- Distress inks: "Tumbled Glass" and "Shabby Shutters"
- Yellow twine
- BLack embossing powder and Versamark ink
- American Crafts 6x6 paper pack: Dear Lizzy Neapolitan
