Lawnscaping FIT January Blog Hop!

37 Comments
It’s the last Friday of the month, so that means it’s time for the Lawnscaping Challenge Facebook Inspiration Team’s (FIT) Monthly Blog Hop! You’ve probably arrived from Marina‘s blog, but in case you’re starting here, you’ll find the full hop list at the bottom of my post!

Before I share my card for the hop, I want you to know that we’re welcoming a NEW sponsor to our blog hop: The Ink Road! The Ink Road is an adorable shop run by the fabulous Lara Smith, and it’s filled with all kinds of crafty goodies from stamps (including our beloved Lawn Fawn), to dies, journals and planners! If she doesn’t have it in the store, she can get it! Lara also price matches AND ships internationally.

Be sure to visit The Ink Road and Lara’s blog! We’ll be picking a winner from all of the comments left on our hop to receive a gift certificate to The Ink Road!

This month, the FIT is inspired by light blues, so I made this sweet card featuring stamps from Lawn Fawn’s “Whale You Be Mine” and made some waves with the “Woodgrain Backdrops” set. The papers are from Lawn Fawn‘s “Into the Woods” petite paper pack.

Here’s our full blog hop order:

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you’re enjoying all of the inspiration in today’s hop and are going to have some time to craft this weekend!

Lawnscaping Challenge #98: Make Your Own Background

3 Comments
Hi, everybody! It’s time for a new Lawnscaping challenge, and our theme is to create a background with your stamps! I chose Lawn Fawn‘s “Woodgrain Backdrops” to create the background for my card, and paired it with stamps from the “Love You S’more” set:
OK, so that background was pretty easy to make because I used one of Lawn Fawn’s backdrop stamps. You can also use the smaller stamps in a set to create a background pattern. Here’s a card I made for a past Lawnscaping challenge using Lawn Fawn’s “Let’s Roll“clear stamp set. I used the flower stamps in the set with a watercolor technique to make my own background patterned paper. 
Whichever method inspires you, we want you to play along in the challenge! This week, we’re sponsored by Lawn Fawn! For all the details on this challenge, and to link up your entry, visit the Lawnscaping Challenge blog!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope your week is off to a great start!

Lawnscaping Challenge #97: Winter

2 Comments
Hi, everybody! Since it’s the first Monday of the month, it’s time for a new Lawnscaping challenge! 
One of the many things I love about Lawn Fawn stamps is the ability to mix and match images from different sets, and it’s something that you’ll see me do often when I create with them!
Our challenge for the next two weeks is inspiration-photo based, so it was fun to put a wintery card together with “Critters in the Arctic“, “Into the Woods“, “Love You a Latte“, and “Woodgrain Backdrops“:
I was inspired by the colors in the photos, the logs, the critters and the snow. I stamped the woodgrain pattern on some smooth grey card stock to make a custom background, and picked papers from the “Sweater Weather“, “Peace Joy Love” and the “Into the Woods” petite paper packs.
Here’s the challenge graphic, and you should be able to click on the photo for a closer look at the images:

And, we have a new sponsor for our challenges in 2015: Ellen Hutson! 

One lucky winner from this challenge will receive a $25 store credit to ellenhutson.com, a one-stop shop with TONS of the latest paper craft supplies!

I’ll be back on the Lawnscaping blog next Monday with a sweet project featuring Lawn Fawn‘s “Bugs and Kisses” stamp set and the Goodie Bag Lawn Cuts metal die!
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope your week (and year) is off to a great start! I’m recovering from a particularly nasty cold that I caught over Christmas, and it’s so good to be able to breathe normally again!
