NBUS #1

Hello and Happy Sunday!

I hope everyone has had a nice weekend. I spent the whole day yesterday all by myself in my craft room making cards. Is that heaven or what? There's not much I'd rather do :) I got my order of Lawn Fawn goodies, so I had lots of funness to play with. I like to take a new set and make several cards with it, so I get to know it. So yesterday I used my adorable new set called Life is Good to created eight cards! That's right! Eight with one set! There were so many cute little things in the set, that I had to color and die cut lots of them :)

So since this is new-never-been-used-schtuff, I am adding it Darnell's new challenge!!

I think everyone who reads my blog probably knows Darnell, but if you don't, you should! So check out her blog here. She's so sweet and she's down right hilarious! I can't tell you how many times, I have sat and laughed right out loud reading her entertaining blog posts! Anyway, since her followers have reached 500, she decided to have a challenge. You can read all about it here. She's even giving away prizes to winners, so hop right over there and play along :)

Anyway, here's one of my eight cards I made with my super cute new little Lawn Fawn stamps!


The large stitched die is from Lil Inkers and the waves I die cut with a scalloped die from MFT. I just turned it upside down. Everything else is from Lawn Fawn. The stamps are all from the set Life is Good, except for the cloud, which is from Bon Voyage. I colored all the little designs with my Copic Markers.

There you have it! So much fun!

Hope you have a wonderful week!

Hugs,

Kay :)

  4. This card is the poster card for SUMMER 2014, Kay! I can see it adorning travel brochures all over the world! It is PERFECTION!

    And your post was like a ding-dong moment for me coz, see, now that's what I should do and if I did, I wouldn't have all the NBUS in the Playhouse! If I bought something and then sat down and used every part of it like you have impressively done here, I wouldn't be having hives over my unused and unloved schtuff!

    So. Okay. I just need to finish putting away the last trunkload of NBUS and then I won't buy anything else until it's all used. So she keeps saying. A lot of crafters can leave their new product on their desk until they use it, but I mean, seriously? I go to a site where there is a ridiculous sale and buy {cough} stamps and/or dies and/or EFs and then I HAVE GOT TO put them away in their OCD places immediately or the clutter scares Mr. Mojo and he runs away.

    Oh, whine already! What a problem to have, right? Sorry for that stream-of-unconsciousness whine!!

    Thank you so much for your lovely words of support, my little friend! They mean the world to me! And thank you for playing in my NBUS challenge and spreading the word!! Mwah!! Darnell

    PS You should also link your adorable card to the fun challenge I saw happening on the Stampin' Celebrations blog. Here is the URL: http://www.stampincelebrationblog.blogspot.com/2014/06/sc80-june-inspiration.html. It's a winner for sure!!

  8. Oh how fun, Kay! NBUS, indeed! Fantastic card. The scene is just so fun. Your coloring is perfect and your placements of elements spot on creating a happy little scene (channeling a little Bob Ross there, sorry-wait, no I'm not sorry, I like Bob Ross' happy little things *Ü*) Thanks for the link to Darnell. Did not know about her and have poked around a bit. And read her comment above. She sounds like a delightful person who would be fun to get to know. If my garage space looked like her playhouse, I never, ever would have moved my stuff back inside the house! Wow!
