JME Creations Design Team Post! The Orange Circle!

For this DT post we were to make a project with an ORANGE circle.

It could be anywhere anyhow as long as there is an ORANGE circle.

I won a gift card to Pink By Design.

I bought the "Just Breath" set. 

When I saw this sentiment I knew right away what I wanted to do.

Here is my hot air balloon card.  

I didn't have a Cricut cart with a hot air balloon, 

so I used my Tis the Season cart and turned an ornament into my balloon.

I through in some clouds with a silver lining because who doesn't want a silver lining!

As you can see my balloon has two and half ORANGE circles.

I hope you enjoyed my post today.

Summer Fun Revistied!

Here is a little bit of summer fun to warm up the crisp fall air!

These pictures were taken out our local fair.

I only work on my 12x12 layouts 2 to 3 times a year so my timing is a little off for the seasons.

(I save them all for my weekend retreats)

I had to do a cow  layout because I couldn't pass up these cute pictures I took.

The baby cow was actually born at the Fair.  

Isn't she super sweet!!

I used my Create a Critter Cart to make my little cow and little red barn.

I took my Tim Holtz embossing folder to give my little red barn some texture.

I lined my heart with some awesome twine!

I love me some twine right now!

One of my favorite techniques is using buttons for grass. 

I love the way it looks!

I hope you enjoyed my trip down memory lane at the Fair!

Have a crafty day!

Lawnscaping Challenge Post!

I bought my first set of Lawn Fawn stamps about a month ago.  I went to the Olympic Game farm with my husband for our 5 year anniversary.  There was the cutest raccoon there and I got some great pictures of him! So when I saw the Lawn Fawn Critters In The Forest stamp set, I had to have it!! When I saw the Lawnscaping challenge I had to create it!  The challenge is all about dimension and it went right along with my layout idea.  

Here is my Lawn Fawn layout!

I used the tree stamp and a bunch of green scrap paper to make my forest. 

I used my Cuddle Bug embossing folders on some of the trees and the clouds.
I added some cute little stickers I found at Joanns to finish the look.

I used my pop-up dots to give my forest a little bit of depth.

I stamped a dragon fly and a little mushroom.
To finish it off,
I added my little Copic colored raccoon.

I really like the way it turned out and I hope you do too.
I also wanted to take the time to say something about the Lawn Fawn Clear Stamps.
They stamp amazing! I was so impressed by how clean and crisp they stamp.
I have nothing bad and everything good to say about the quality.
I am a Lawn Fawn fan for life!
They are a stampers dream come true!

Thanks Lawn Fawn!!
