Happy Halloween!

Guess I must've forgot to post this card... This little fairwee has turned into a witch for Halloween just by adding a witch hat from the hats off to you Lawn Fawn set. These little hats are the perfect size for many of the Lawn Fawn characters and also for these cute Fairwees!


The sentiment is from the Lawn Fawn Heebie Jeebie's set and comes with the spider (and bats too!). Decided to distress the background using some Halloween colors and added in some colored pearls for interest. Halloween is just around the corner, so time to start working on those Halloween projects if you haven't started yet. The store just received some oh so cute Halloween papers that would be perfect for your projects! Better save some for me!

Friends Forever

There she goes again... always making me want to buy a stamp or stamp set that I didn't necessairly want to buy, but when she makes her cards so darn cute, I can't help but want everything she used to make it. Honestly, when Debi wanted this Lawn Fawn frame set, I asked her why. She apparently got inspired by another fellow blogger (sorry, don't know who it was) and wanted to use the frame in her next project. I just love how her card turned out. Almost like a family portrait!

Love how she stamped the frame on patterned paper too. This totally added to the card and now I'm pretty much sold on this set. So simple but so cute! Thanks Debi for another fun idea!

Winter Bunny?

I guess we haven't shared samples in awhile, so thought I'd start that up again. I just love it when there's hidden versatility in a stamp! Debi is really good at making us see the many different ways a stamped image can be used.

Here she took Lawn Fawn's Winter Bunny (single stamp) and cut off the scarf and sled so he is stand alone. Now you can use him on other non-winter projects! She then inked him up and made him up into a baby card! How awesome is that?


Don't 'cha just love getting extra mileage out of something?

Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum

OK- its not often that I get really really excited about a line's entire release but this one did it for me. I swear I wanted to buy all of the new Lawn Fawn sets that recently arrived at the store. Some of these are going quickly, so if you are like me, you need to pick them up soon before they are all gone...

Shown here are 2 alphabet sets and the new thank you set called Many Thanks.



Sorry- photos are a bit blurry, but we wanted to share them with you anyway... Here's some of the new seasonal sets: Winter Fox, Harvest Season, Happy Haunting, and Turkey Day. Love them!



I can't wait to use these new holiday ones! Making Frosty Friends, Pa-rum-pa-pum-pum (love the name too!) and ornate ornaments.


Stop by soon cause these sets are flying out the door!
