Treats for Lawn Fawnatics Challenge

I love cookies! I think they are likely my favorite treat, even over candy, cakes and pies. So they were my pick for the current Lawn Fawnatics challenge. Since the holidays are upon us, I also decided to go with a holiday card. 



I crated a few cookies for inside my shaker, and I dropped a few "candies" in the jar as well. 


As much as I love cookies, I never make cookies. I feel like I never want to open that door to have them around. Every year I say I'm going to make them, and I never do. Perhaps this will be the year. 

My favorite cookie is the Russian Teacake . . . those little round snowballs of delicious salty/sweet. 

What's your favorite?

It's All About the Glitter

Today's card was inspired by the prompt at As You Like It Challenge

What's my favourite? I love gold, I love silver, but anything glitter makes me happy. I especially love white and black glitter papers but honestly will take them all. Something about the way it catches the light just makes me happy. 


I used a butterfly set that was part of Concord & 9th's summer camp. The top layer was cut from a watercolor background piece, and then I stacked additional solid white dies to give it a bit of lift. I used that same due to cut from white glitter cardstock and then inlaid the pieces. I love inlaid dies . . . it's like a jigsaw puzzle.  


The die cut background also had inlaid pieces, so double jigsaw puzzle fun. 

Of course, I have additional pieces for another card saved in a tray, so perhaps another card will be posted soon. 

I hope you find some time to inlay some pieces, if that's your thing!

Sympathy Card Inspired by Little Red Wagon

Oh my - it's been a while! Just a day over four months. While I was away from posting, I wasn't away from crafting. I just had a bit of a cataract issue to deal with, and things were a bit blurry when looking at the computer screen.

Getting back into the swing of being challenged and today finding inspiration from Little Red Wagon. Sad songs, and so a sympathy card.


I embossed my design on white cardstock and then used the coordinating stencil to add some color to the images. I tried to keep things light so it would look a bit like watercolor. 


Hoping I can keep the trend going with posting regularly, and certainly hope anyone reading this finds some time to create today.
