Freshly Made Jawsome!

Whew!  Just when I was on a roll yesterday, my internet decided to conk out...but it's back in business this morning, so lets get this thing posted!

I simply CANNOT get enough of this little guy right now...he's just THAT jawsome.  I combined the current challenges from Lawn Fawnatics and Freshly Made Sketches to give myself a good excuse to play with him again!  ;)

I also found a GREAT place to take some shots of my creations!  I don't have a dedicated space yet for this purpose, but this is the best I have found yet!

As you can see, I flipped the FMS sketch on its side so I could incorporate that fabulous Word Bubble Border die.  This was the springboard for my entire card!  :)

I haven't used my watercolors as much as I would like, so I was just trying to get a nice and subtle ombre of color in the ocean water.  I also tried a little water splatter on the finished watercolor background.  I'll have to play a bit more to get the results I wanted...I think it was too dry already.

See the layer of lined vellum that mats the watercolor?  Love that subtle addition...

So, this inside sentiment goes against every one of my "mom" instincts, (and I can't count the number of times I have told the girls to not use that word) but I just could not resist!!!

Isn't it PERFECT!?!?!  Duh!  Too fun.

Bring on the Bling!

Well, there are two things I love about my crafty hobby--entering challenges and BLING!  Of course I love a lot more about it than that, but we would be here all day, lol.  Anyhow, the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog is doing a "Bling It" Challenge, so you better believe I got my bling on!  :)

I just received my new Lawn Fawn supplies toys the other day and I was super excited to use this word bubble border die!  Would you believe I used the packaging and freebie papers included in my order?  :)

Are you ready for the bling?  These sequins are from various LF assortments over the seasons.  I thought a little stitched edge was just the right addition.

Instead of putting him front and center, I decided to add an element of surprise to the inside of the card by adding the cutie-pie turtle there.  :)

Thanks for stopping in to see me today, and while we are on the topic of bling, remember, never let anyone steal YOUR sparkle!  :)
