LSC #47 - COLOR

Hi crafty peeps!  Sorry I have been M.I.A. for a couple of weeks on my blog.  Ya know how things go - you get busy with life, and other things take over!  I've been around though looking at all the wonderful crafty projects in blog land - and wanted to get back into the swing of things.  Today I bring you my entry for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge.  It is all about color this go round - three colors to be specific - blue, red, and kraft.

Since Valentine's Day products and projects are showing up around blog land - I thought it would be adorable to make to dolphins in love :)  That is why I've named this card dolpIN LOVE.  Maybe cheesy - maybe I am reachin' there a bit on the title - but at least the card came out cute!  I used "Critters in the Sea" and did some reverse stamping.  Reverse stamping can be tricky, but if you practice on it - you will get a pretty good stamped image.  That is why I like doing this technique with Lawn Fawn stamps because their images have a thicker outline.  

I used the "swirls" Cuttlebug folder and did heat emboss some waves of water in blue embossing powder.  I made my hoops from a 1 3/8' circle punch and a 1 1/4" circle punch.  For the male dolphin, I used some Peppermint Lawn trimmings to wrap around the hoop, and left the female dolphin's hoop as is in white.  I created my own custom sentiment from "Harold's ABC's".  

I wanted to add a heart above the dolphins - and then used my red Sukura glitter pen for something "extra".  

To add "kraft" to my card - I just wrapped some "natural" Lawn Trimmings around my sentiment piece.  Hope you all like it and have been inspired!  See you soon!

So glad its Friday!

Hi blog readers!- I wanted to pop in and share this card I just finished with you all.  First- hope everyone's week was good.  Mine, it never changes- meaning it continues to stay busy, busy like a bee!  Lots of new changes happening in my dept. right now.  Sometimes, change is good.  I am still trying to get back in my groove.  I feel like I am not there yet, but I still crank out a card or two.  So- let me go ahead and show you the one I made this evening.

I mentioned  before in a previous post that I like to make cards for my co- workers for who ever gets the Employee of the Month award each month- well- this one was made for a special lady who received the highest honor- Employee of the Year, and I wanted to make her a special card as well.  She has to love it, because it has green it in!  She loves green!!  ** Love ya Jess**.  Anyway, the "dimensions" on the card with the circles is a different thing for me.  I literally just saw some scraps that I needed to use in my scrap pile, and did what I could with some of them, and this is what it turned out to be.  Not bad.  So- have any of you check out my first You Tube video from my previous post before this one?  It was mainly a test, and me just having fun with my girl Daisy.  She loves the attention.  I will have an "official" card related video up soon!  I promise!  Well- I'm going to get back to surfing the web and see more ideas of how I can improve my craft space.  There are still so many things I would like to do.  I have a touch of OCD I think!!  UGH!  :o)

Night readers!

Stay Inspired!,
