Thank You

Good Morning! Today Im sharing a card that I made for a friend of mine to thank her for all the wonderful extra goodies she sent me....BIG HUGS! I used some of my old Lawn Fawn hoarded papers. I tend to collect many papers from different companies and hoard them for quite some time. Then another set comes out and so on...LOL


She loves hearts....so I thought pinks would work....


Closer view.....I am so addicted to the iridescent bubbles....I have more on the way from Canada...Feels like forever now...Im kind of spoiled because I live close to Scrapbook.com so many of my items are here in one or two days. Update...they were in the mailbox for a week.  ðŸ˜† 


Thanks for stopping by today!
Hope you loved it

You're Toadally Awesome

Hi! Today, Im sharing with you a card that started off being inspired by a challenge over at scrapbook.com but then it didn't quite make it....The theme was to use frogs and then lift someones card. I used the frogs, however, it looks nothing like a lift...so I decided to add a lot more frogs and make it a slimline card. 


I tend to make the inside ready to go....


I just LOVE slimline cards lately....


So here is a super close up....so you can see the glitter....I am still practicing photos...


More glitter.....


Thanks for stopping by today! 
Have a great day!
Hugs, Lisa

Universal Studios Lawn Fawnatics #101 Travel Destination/ Favorite Place

Hi, Today I was crafting all day and thinking about another one of my favorite places/vacation. It was with my husband at Universal Studios Orlando. We had so much fun....it was the year before Covid-19. Lots of fun attractions and I tried to capture as much as I could in the slimline card. This card was also inspired by this week's Lawn Fawnatics #101 Travel Destination/ Favorite Place.


The center circle was die cut and then I hand drew the land. I then stamped and embossed “Universal” with white powder using Riley stamps, it fit perfectly. The parrot represents Margaritaville with Jimmy Buffet. The green roller coaster is the "Hulk" so much fun! The mummy in the background is "The Revenge of the Mummy Ride". Shark in the from "Jaws", Red and Blue fish from Dr Seuss, The rocks that the parrot is standing on represents "Kong Skull Island" 


The one eye octopus represents "Simpsons Alien Ride" For the eye I used "Bubbles of Joy" Palm trees all over Florida....


The donut represents "Pink donuts at Krustyland" Lard Lad Donuts. Volcano and Dinosaur from "Jurassic Park" and Castle, Houses with snow tops, Dragon and Wizard from Harry Potter.....I added some fun cotton candy in the stand too. Got to have balloons at a theme park....lots of glitter on pieces all around the card. 


The inspiration! Thanks so much for bringing back great memories!

Chicago... Lawn Fawnatics #101 Travel Destination/Favorite Place

Hi! Hope you are having a great day! 
 I was working on this card most of the day! I wanted to add more items but ran out of room...LOL It is one of my favorite places to go every summer "CHICAGO". We used to live there about 25 years ago...And we still have lots of family over there....This card was inspired by this week's Lawn Fawnatics #101Travel Destination/Favorite Place. Everything you see here is from Lawn Fawn. I think I used around 21 stamps and die cuts. Whoa! 


So, the sign Chicago was inspired by the State Street Theatre. The hospital is downtown Northwestern right across the street is the famous Gino's East Pizza...YUM. The cows are all over the city in different colors and styles. The bean (cloud gate) is in Millennium Park....smaller version here....LOL 


Famous hot dogs, Chicago police and Blues Brothers was filmed downtown, Chicago Cubs symbol was a bit challenging. I used Bubbles Of Joy for the circle, Olivers "C" trimmed a bit and Riley's letters in red for "ubs". It reminds me of my father....who has been gone for many years....still miss him very much. Love Lake Michigan waterfront, Tall buildings and Brownstones, Lake Shore Drive and stars for the 4th of July. The best time of the year to go, at least for me. The lion represents the statue outside Art Institute of Chicago. I know it is green but I wanted the lion to match with the hot dog bun and pizza crust. I have great memories with my mother there. Can't wait till this July! 


Here is the inspiration for one of my favorite places to go visit!

Thinking Of You

Hi, so I am back to making some cards again...However, I sure will be making more layouts soon too. Bigger canvas to play with too. These papers and flowers from 49 Market are amazing! Im hooked! I bought a bunch of the blue flowers recently to start making my daughters wedding album so you will be seeing more and more of them


I decided to stamp the sentiment in clear and emboss it in white...the butterflies I fussy cut out...


Lots of distressing and layering of flowers, lace and foliage

Mokely

Hi! Sharing a new layout that I finished a few days back of my mother's favorite cat Mokely. He is now on Rainbow Bridge....I wanted to make a tribute page and plan on framing it in a shadow box for her to keep. Mokely had the most beautiful eyes! I used a couple of old papers and new flowers. 


I also tried to add some journaling...I used to not put so much on my layouts...I sure want to do it more often now....after all that is what scrapbooking is all about right...pictures and the story.


A closer view....

Be Mine

Hi! Happy INSD International Scrapbook Day! It is late in the day here in AZ but I was working on this layout all day long. It is my daughter and her fiancé at the time they were going on a quick trip to CA. I printed up this picture years ago...and finally back to scrapping again after 5 years. 

I made the bee hive with an oval and cut in half and made strips...inked up the edges and glued it down to the other side....The bees were online images and I colored the yellow with a copic marker. I LOVE the Olivers die cuts because it is so easy to make your own titles...oh and never run out of A, E , I, O or U...


Used Prima and 49 market flowers..You can also see the tiny dandelions I made tiny sunflowers with yellow copic and a black dot in the center.


The swirls from off the bees are from Lawn Fawn Butterfly Kisses


I had to use some cute buttons from my stash and ribbon.


Thanks for stopping by today! 
Happy Crafting!
