Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #237 - Sketch

 Hi All!

I recently found out about Newton's Nook having a challenge blog called Inky Paws. Their challenges run for a full month unlike that of the Lawn Fawnatics challenge blog which run every two weeks. So this month is sketch #237...

A little while ago I bought the Never Enough Books stamp set from Newton's Nook. I have so many family members who love to read so I like having a stamp set. I used the stack of books as the centre piece of my card. For the background there is a panel of books with a piece of pattern paper with coffee cups. 

So Many Books So Little Time -

Supplies Used - White Cardstock, Eucalyptus Cardstock (Concord & 9th), Sunflower Cardstock (Taylored Expressions), Never Enough Books Stamp (Newton's Nook), Coffee Shop Paper Pad (Newton's Nook), Fossilized Amber, Wild Honey, Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover (Distress Ink), Copics, Glossy Accents, Pop Dots, Tape Runner, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Memento Ink

Happy Holidays Reindeer Card

Hi All!

Every month Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers release a sketch challenge on their Facebook group and this month I created the cutest reindeer holiday card.

I used the Doodlebug Tinsel Time pattern paper and Christmas Critter stamp set to create this adorable Christmas card. I loved the red and green in the paper and how it matches the colours in the wreath on the reindeer.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #189 - Lots of Heart

 Hi All!

Every two weeks the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Blog releases a new challenge. This is the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge ...

When I saw the inspiration post for the current Lawn Fawnatics Challenge I knew I had to post a submission to the challenge. I was inspired by the falling heart effect in the top right corner and all the red hearts the post. 

I just got the new panda stamp set for Christmas and have been waiting for the perfect chance to use it. I wanted to create a cute wedding card with the two pandas plus all the hearts. I used the lots of heart stencil from My Favourite Things before creating a cute panda scene in front of the hearts,

Wishing You A Panda-stic Day - 

Supplies Used - White Cardstock, Strawberry Milkshake (Taylored Expressions), I Heart Pandas & Add-On Stamps (Lawn Fawn), Kitsch Flamingo & Picked Raspberry (Distress Ink), Memento Ink, Masking Circle Stencil (Taylored Expressions), Pop Dots, Glossy Accents, Lawn Fawn Glue Tube, Tape Runner, Wink of Stella - Clear, Copics

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

 Hi All!

That is a wrap for this year from me. I am going to be taking a break to enjoy the holidays with my family and will start back up in 2025 on my socials. It's been an interesting year as I navigated starting this blog back up, starting my instagram account, starting to participate in markets and continuing to make cute cards.

I've learned a lot over the past year and moving forward in 2025 I will be pulling back on how many markets I will do but will still be sharing my projects on my socials. I want to thank all the people who have started following me or attended a market I've participated in this year. I hope to see all of you in the new year!

I hope all of you and your families have a safe and happy holiday season. 

Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

Thanks Laurie

Gift Card Holders

 Hi All!

I wanted to share two of the gift card holders I have been making lately as I have been getting ready for the My Letter to Santa 2nd Annual Holiday Market in LaSalle, ON on November 3rd. 

I picked up the Gift Card Wallet die set from Taylored Expressions this year as my family usually exchanges a few gift cards every year in our holiday traditions. I thought why buy the bulking tin gift card holders when I can make one that is smaller and more pretty. I love how both these gift card holders came out.
