You’re a Winner | Lawn Fawn

I designed this especially for the kids’ 11 year old cousin.  He’s the youngest one in the bunch and well, it’s been a while since I’ve had a 11 year old, like 10+ years.  Lawn Fawn to the rescue!  I thought the You’re Claw-some set would be perfect for him.  It’s a fun shaped card

Christmas Coffee Trio | Lil’ Inker Designs

So this is what happens when I start cleaning my craft room.  I found 1 sheet of this reversible (vintage) The Girls’ Paperie – Tinsel & Twig.  It was literally torn but instead of finishing up my cleaning job, I started a card trio.

The MFT BB Harvest Mouse set is so cute.  I stamped and cut out all the images and colored them up with copic markers. Loving this color trio with a pop of red, what do you think?  Those guys crack me up…they’re so busy. I made this especially for my boy and then forgot to

Berry Best Belated Birthday | Lawn Fawn

  I love the look of ink blending on cards and for some reason don’t do it that much on my own designs.  I whipped up this card [actually it took me all morning].  The ink blending color combo was inspired by the awesome Samantha Mann. Yup it’s another belated Birthday card [sigh].    I
