Clean and Simple Stamping Sketch With Lawn Fawn

Happy Sunday!!

I hope you are all doing well. I have not been posting as of late. Not that I have not been creating but life has been catching up. Once I get home from work and the gym, get ready for the next day, I just don't have energy to do anything but sit on the couch.

My new thing, though, is stamping images and coloring while I watch TV. That way when I do have time, I don't have to color the images from scratch as well as make a card!!

Today I am sharing a card I created that was inspired by a sketch from Clean and Simple Stamping.

Here is the card I created:


I used Lawn Fawn's "Winter Otter" stamp set to stamp the otter and I colored it in with Copic Markers. I attempted to make it look like it was covered in fur but it was an epic fail.

Here is the sketch that inspired me:


Instead of making the card square, I made a smaller square and used the box as my foal point.


The sentiment was stamped using My Favorite Things retired "Toasty Greetings" stamp set and the paper strips are scraps that I had on my desk.


The candy cane is actually not the one that comes in the stamp set. I lost it on the mess on my desk so used a different one that I found in the pile.

What is your secret to getting it all done? Do you plan your blog posts out and then make your projects ahead of time? Do you just use Instagram? Let me know your secret!!

That is all from me today. Thank you so much for stopping by!!

Lawn Fawn Card-Day Five of Twelve Days of Christmas Fun

I cannot believe it is already December 5th!! Only twenty more days to Christmas shop. Putting that in writing just scared the pants off of me!!

Today I am going to show you a card I created using Lawn Fawn stamps. I mixed two stamp sets-Making Frosty Friends and Winter Sparrows to create this card. The background paper is from Bazzill's Halloween collection (I love paper that I can use after the holiday!!) and the black label is from My Mind's Eye.


Didn't it turn out cute? I especially love the embossing paste on the hat and along the base with the glitter. It really "makes" the card.

I want to thank you for stopping by during this time. It is so fun to show you all what I have created for the day.

Some new layouts!!

     I am taking a break from posting cards today to show you some of the layouts I have been creating. Lately I have been trying to stretch my creativity by buying supplies I wouldn't normally buy and using techniques that I haven't tried before. I have to admit that sometimes it can be a trial and error method of creating. I also do not love all the pages I have made by using some of the products I have chosen. However, it has put the fun back into scrapbooking again-something it has been sorely lacking.

     The first page I created by using mist sprays and layering paper. I started with the lightest color and sprayed in stages, letting it dry in between each mist. I really like how it came out and I think it enhanced this photo of Charlotte and her cousins.


Supplies: Paper-Bazzill-Red Devil, Aqua Fourz and Wedding Butterfly, Echo Park-Gingham Gabby, Sally StitchesCindy Circles Mist Sprays-Tattered Angels Marmalade, Jazz Blue and Lavender Fields Punches-Martha Stewart Himalayan Snowflake and Glacial Snowflake, Fiskars Apron Lace and EK Success Donut Chain Ink-Inkadinkadoo Red and Pink Chalk Ink Stickles-Lavender Stamps-Basic Grey Basic Notes, Letter Stickers-American Crafts


     My next layout I experimented with using a kit. I tend to buy papers and embellishments by the same company but I rarely buy kits because I don't tend to love all the papers that come with it. Echo Park's Little Girl Collection was an exception. I loved all the papers that came with it and so I decided to try using only products that came in the kit, with the exception of cardstock and some punches. I have to admit that this isn't my favorite page because of the bright colors but the colors went with the photos.

     The last page in this post was also created with the Echo Park Little Girl Collection. The only thing I   added to the kit was cardstock, the use of a circle punch and ink, and journal strips. I cannot believe how young Charlotte looks in these photos!!
