Here is a card I made up for a friend's birthday (who happens to love anything pumpkin spice). I am linking up with the Lawnfawnatics Awesome Autumn challenge!

 Today is a crafty little friend's birthday and I couldn't resist making up a card I knew she would appreciate! I wanted the base of colours to be purple because that is her favourite colour, so I pulled out the stunning new Gleeful Gradients paper from Lawn Fawn. Linking up to the friendship theme over at the Lawnfawnatics Challenge!

*UPDATE* I was featured on the Lawnfawnatics Challenge for this card!

I just finished taking a wonderful Lawn Fawn Create with Us by Jenn Shurkus and was feeling inspired. I will post my creations later, but I needed a thank you card for my son's piano teacher, so I set to work with the supplies that were still out. I am linking up with the 'up, up and away' Lawn Fawnatics challenge! 

 I am using this card design for both a birthday card for the amazing shop owner of Papercrafters Workshop in Ontario, Sheri, that I order from throughout the year, as well as for easter cards for my niece, nephews, and boys! I got all of my Lawn Fawn supplies from Sheri's store - they have a great selection! I am linking this card up with the Lawnfawnatics All Things Birthday challenge.

 My husband's birthday was this week and I found the PERFECT sentiment to use on his card ;)! This collaboration set from CZ Design x Simon Says Stamp has some great sentiments, but this one seemed fitting for Chris! This particular card design did indeed take awhile to put together, doing several steps over a long period of time! I did a major craftroom clean re-organization over the holidays and found some fun stuff to include in the design. I am linking this up with the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge "let's celebrate".

 It's our friend, Bennett's, birthday coming up this month. He loves to play soccer, so I pulled out the Lawn Fawn Tiny Sports Friends and set to work.

 The enchanting story, Cornelius the Dragon, written by my good friend, Nadine, is now available in print! To celebrate, Nadine asked me to make up a card inspired by the story. Little did she know I have been planning on doing this for awhile and have been collecting Lawn Fawn supplies to go along with the theme :).  I am linking up with the Lawn Fawnatics challenge to create a scene.

 Here is a magical birthday card I put together for one of my son's friends! I am linking up with the Lawnfawnatics Challenge using their spring inspiration board.

 My reading course is beginning again this semester, and though we were planning to be in person, we were required to pivot at the last minute to online learning. I am hopeful we will be in person soon! In the meantime, I was able to put together these simple cards to welcome each student to our course.

I knew that I wanted to include a book somehow and some nature element on this card. You can see the cards I designed last year for the course here. I used the open book this time from Den Sweet Den and coloured it with my favourite Tombow marker colour. I decided to pull out my Lawn Fawn Stitched Woodgrain Backdrop die and emboss it onto a heart shape from Close To My Heart.

I added in a scripty 'welcome' sign from Little Bundle to complete the card.
