Critters on the Savanna - Lawn Fawn April Inspiration Week

Hi!!
It's starting to feel like Spring here! After a lot of rainy and cold days some warm and sunny days, it feels sooo good :) What about you? I hope you're enjoying some warm temps too!

Today is the first day of Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week and we're showcasing Critters on the Savanna, one of my newewst favorites!
This is what I made, thinking about two friends living far away and one sending the other s package with a photo of them and a postcard. I invented a whole story, huh? haha


It looks like a package but it's actaually a card! ;) Of course, you can use this idea for decorating package too, I think it'd make a cute gift! I hope you like it!
For the package simulation, I wrapped a piece of cardstock, that easy :)


This is another card I made using the same set, you already know this one for sure because I made it for CHA release week and the year three catalog but I haven't shared it on my blog yet, so here it is :)

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!!

Starry Summer night

Hello! :)
Today I want to share the card I've been working on lately. I had this idea long time ago and I didn't find the time to work on it until now. When I saw that the current Lawnscaping challenge theme was dimension I decided that I'd join it with this card :)


I had a lot of fun adding dimension to this card, cuting and poping the different elements at different heights to create a impression of depth in the scene. I hand draw the marshmallow and the stick is a piece of tree from the "Critters Down Under" set. The moon is from "Sunny Skies" and there's a how to here. I draw the little stars with a white gel pen.

Here's a closer pic so you can see better the dimension


I hope you like it, I'm happy with the final result. I know it's a bit dark but it reminds me the awesome warm and starry Summer nights and fills my heart with peace and happiness :)

I missed the lasts Lawnscaping challenges and that makes me sad so I'm very happy to come back! If you have the chance, join the current challenge and take a look at the blog, there are tons of awesome projects to inspire you!

Hi again!! :)
So today is the last day of Lawn Fawn May Inspiration week, tomorrow all sets will be revealed but today we are featuring a super popular and demanded set... yes! Critters Down Under is here! :) And it's full of adorable stamps!
