HAPPY HOWLIDAYS
Today I'm here again with another Lawnfawnatics challenge. That's why I'm writing in English again.
Well, let’s move ahead to the topic of today. It's challenge #153 - Christmas in July. I admit it's a bit hard to find Christmas spirit in the middle of the summer. But since the weather here, on the west coast in Sweden, is more like our winters, just slightly warmer, right now I felt I had to give it a try.
Oh my! I have really struggled with this theme. I normally don't do a lot of Christmas
cards, so I don't have a lot of Christmas stamps, but I found two very old ones
from Lawn Fawn. So, I went ahead and stamped them up. While they were drying I,
accidently 😉, surfed in to one of my favorite shops to
look around a little. I ended up ordering Lawn Fawn items for a whole lot of
money, but still no Christmas stamps. So, when I was coloring my stamped images
the following day, I decided to shop a little more in that store and this time
I ended up with three Christmas stamp set's. So today I'm showing a card using
one of those stamp set's; Furry and Bright. I think this is my
absolute favorite of my Christmas stamps. But I also realize that I need
to do some more shopping for Lawn Fawn stamps and dies. I am so totally
addicted 😍
Now, this is the card:
Sorry for the bad pictures, but I was shooting the photos late last night
and the light was really, really bad. |
As I said, I was really struggling with
the theme, and I think I did five (!) Christmas cards before this one. But, when I
looked at the cards that I’ve allready made, I did not have that wow! - feeling.
I decided to skip the Christmas cards and challenge and just do an ordinary
birthday card instead. But I couldn't resist to color some more of the Furry
and Bright stamps and suddenly I had made a Christmas card. Just like that!
Now I can participate in the challenge after all. And in addition to that I
also have six Christmas cards to send to family and friends.
Here’s some details from the card:
This puppy just wants the bone, with the golden tie, on the top. I put the puppy on foam dots to raise him up from the background a little. |
This little one is just happy with his bone, that he got from Santa
Claus. |
This little mischievous one has just snitched the lights from the
Christmas tree. He is also raised with foam dots.
If I ever get a puppy, I really want a dachshund. They are so damn (sorry!) cute.
But I probably never ever get a dog. My youngest son got a dog about a year
ago, and I have realized that I am a true cat person. Cats never do as they’re
told and as far as they know, you are their servants. I love that personality. When
it’s about cats at least. People should never be like cats 😉
Here at the west coast, we can look forward to some more rain for the next couple of days. I’m not really that sad about the bad weather. That means I can craft even more. How great isn’t that? But it would be nice to see the sun a little before I begin to work soon. Well, the weather isn’t anything you can control. It will be what it will be.
Despite the weather situation all over the world, I
hope you all have a great afternoon, at least here in Europe it’s afternoon,
and a nice evening.
See you!

Lawn Fawnatics color challenge
It has been a while since last I was here, but life has come in between. Today I’m writing in english and that feels a bit akward. The reason to that is that I’m going to participate the challenge over at LawnFanatics and I believe that it will be a bit easier for everyone to understand what I’ve done for those who are interested to hop over here to my blog. Since it’s not my native language I geuss there will be some spelling and gramatical issues and I apologize for that in advance. With that said, let’s move on to my reason for todays blog post.
The challenge at Lawn Fanatics is about colors and they are some of my
favourite colors. My only problem was to pick out wich die I was going to use. I
really don’t own that many Lawn Fawn dies yet, but I’m working on it. At last I
picked the Magic Iris Floral Wreath Add-On and also the Magic Iris Scalloped
Add-On. I absolutely love that you can use them all together and also without
the Magic Iris. It’s still beautiful. This time I chose to color the floral
wreath and the flowers with my alcohol markers to try to catch the colors that’s
in the challenge. I hope I succeeded with that.
Then I had a big struggle to find the right papers. I don’t have that many
dies, but the amount of papers are even poorer. But I ended up with two papers that
I’ve had in my stash for a couple of years now. I really love my papers and I almost
cry when I have to cut them apart 😉 I believe many of you scrapper’s can relate
to that. But I did cut them up and now I have to buy some new ones. Nothing bad
that doesn’t have something good in it 😄
Allmost all things I’ve used for this card is from Lawn Fawn, accept the die
GRATTIS (congratulations) and the stamp inside the card. I hope I don’t get
disqualified for that but I never have had the need for those dies and stamps
in english before. And I didn’t have time to buy them either so I ended up
using my swedish ones and hope that will be okay. All I used is listed down
below. Here is the result of my take on the challenge:
The stamp means "Have a wonderful birthday" |
It's a bit hard to see, but I've put the scalloped circle on black foam dots. The middle part is lying flat to the background. |
