Lawnscaping #76

Today I'm playing along with the arctic color inspiration challenge over at Lawnscaping.  I just love these colors and they are perfect for the cold and icy weather we've been having lately.  To create this card, I used two of the lawn fawn stamp sets - Into the Woods and Peace Joy Love.  And of course I had to add some bling and a scarf to keep the little deer warm :)

Additional Challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge- Bling it On
Merry Monday - #88 Use an animal on your Christmas card

Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop 2013

Hello and welcome to the this year's Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop!  You should have came from Becky Sorensen's blog - if not, you can start at the beginning by visiting the Lawnscaping blog.  The theme for this hop was winter.  I was super excited to get my new Lawn Fawn stamps in the mail last week!!  Here's what I came up with:

For this card, I use the Into the Woods stamp set and mixed sequins.  I borrowed the sentiment on the bottom from Newton's Nook Designs Frozen Friends.  They worked so perfect together, I just had to try them out on a card.  One of my favorite things about making winter cards is all the different color scheme you can use...and this little deer is way to cute :)

Next, head on over to Ann Tomaschik's blog.  Make sure to comment on all of the participating blogs...there will be lots of fabulous prizes to win.  You can check out the Lawnscaping homepage for more details!

Inky Paws Challenge #5 - part 1

It's time for another Inky Paws Challenge over at Newton's Nook Designs.  

The challenges ends Friday at Midnight, so there's still a little time to play along :)

For my first card, I used the new winter set, Frozen Friends.  All the different images and sentiments are so cute...what could be better then snowmen in winter (especially with the weather we're been having lately!!)  For the background, I used one of the snowflake stamps in the set, and of course, I had to add some glitter as well :)

I am also entering this card in the following challenges:

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Let It Snow

CAS-ual Fridays #123 - Let It Snow

CASology #74 - Snowflake

Lots of "snow" themes this week!!!

Merry Monday Challenge #76

Here is my second card using the Stampin' Up Button Buddies stamp set, which is retiring at the end of May.  I love cute bottoms that it incorporates.  The tiny heart in the corner is from the owl punch.

I am also submitting this card for the Merry Monday Challenge over at Always Playing with Paper. The challenge this week was to use a snowman...how cute is that?  I'm sure I will be making a lot more snowman cards in the next few months :)

Hopefully this is the last of winter we will see for awhile :)

Materials Used:

• Cardstock - white, red, blue
