My Crackling Campfire distress oxide ink finally arrived along with the new Lawn Fawn Let It Shine papers! I knew I wanted to create a sunset scene with my Cloudy stencil and a few different inks. I am playing along with the "anything goes" Lawn Fawn challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and linking up with the current Lawn Fawnatics "awesome autumn" challenge for the fall colours that I used!

My parents got the keys to their new home today in our city! We are so happy that they will be closer to us soon. To celebrate, I went into my craftroom this morning and put together this simple card.

I am so excited to finally put this card together! I am linking up with the Lawn Fawnatics birthday challenge. Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge just so happens to be featuring Lawn Fawn products this week, too, with their theme of whatever the weather. I used some fun blue Gotta Have Gingham paper to convey a nice sunny day for this card!

I decided to make up some Mother's Day tags for the shoppe and of course I couldn't resist doing some watercolour with these sweet peas. The spring mood board over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge has so many spring feels one cannot help but be inspired! I used my favourite Simon Says Stamp tag die and topped these tags off with some gingham ribbon. Watercolouring definitely makes me happy so I am also linking up with the "happy times" challenge over at Heart2Heart. These gorgeous flowers were arranged by our local florists at MJ's Florals and the lovely Vancouver Candle Co. candle can be found at Lane and Meadow along with these tags!

I have been itching to get this cute Lawn Fawn set out and thought it would be perfect for my friend's birthday today who appreciates a good pun :). I was excited to do some more ink blending and was happy I still had some purple (her favourite colour) plaid left to use for the background as well as a little bit for the alpaca's scarf! I also used a tiny bit of vintage photo distress ink to give my alpaca a little dimension and colour. I used the Freshly Made Sketches layout, and am also linking up with the colour inspiration challenge over at Lawn Fawnatics and the "all that glitters is gold" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge, who just happens to be featuring Lawn Fawn this week, too!

It's November and my Christmas tag stash has officially been started now thanks to the amazing inspiration over at Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags! I was inspired right off the bat on Day 1 with Tracey's gorgeous purple snowflake tags.  Since Day 1 is sponsored by one of my favourites, Simon Says Stamp, I decided to pull out some of their snowflakes for my tags and add in some blue and green oxide inks in addition to the purple that I had. I'm quite pleased with the colour combo and am stoked to be starting my tag stash! Fingers crossed I will continue in this way throughout the month :). I am also linking up with the "anything goes" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

Christmas Tag Count: 3

It's my baby's 1st birthday this week! Harvey turns one on Friday and I thought it best to get his card finished earlier in the week so that I can focus on finishing up a few other things for his big day. When I started thinking about his birthday theme awhile ago, I knew I wanted to do something with mountains and woodland animals. Lawn Fawn seemed like the perfect company that carried what I needed. To make this card, I started out with Freshly Made Sketches and decided to turn the sketch on its side. I thought it would be fun to paper piece some leaves together for my leaf pile that the fox is jumping into and I added some sparkly gold paper to be celebratory and to play along with the Lawn Fawnatics "bling it out" challenge. I am also linking up with the "animal antics" challenge over at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.
