"Sending Hugs- I'm Here for You" (Distress Challenge)

Hiiii Everyone.... How was your weekend???... Mine was pretty cool. I had an unexpected visit from some of my family from Boston. My 10 yr old god-daughter, along with her parents (my aunt & uncle), came down. So it was a very nice surprise to have them here, since we don't get to see them as often. Needless to say, my weekend was pretty busy spending time with them. It was lots of fun though! :)

Ok, well on to my card above!... This card was made for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge #28- Distress Mania.

The theme involves applying any type of distress technique to your card.  In my case, I chose to apply my ink on with distress tools and sponges. Then I also roughed up the edges a bit using regular scissors. 

Hope you all enjoy this card and this challenge! Visit the Lawnscaping Blog for all of the details on how to play along too, and possibly have the chance to win a free set from Lawn Fawn!

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Lawnscaping Challenge #27: Inspiration Photo

Have any of you ever noticed just how many HEARTS there are amongst the Lawn Fawn Sets???.... Well, there is definitely A LOT!!!... I actually ended up using seven different sets in order to create my home-made pattern paper for my two cards today.....

Both of my cards are for the latest Lawnscaping Challenge #27. The theme is to make a card based on the inspiration photo below:

Naturally, the photo is perfect for Valentine's Day, which is just around the corner! :) So I urge you guys to try to play along. If you enter, you also have to the chance to win a $25 dollar gift card from our fabulous sponsor: "Simons Says Stamp". Just head on over to the Lawnscaping Blog for all of the details on how to play and also for more inspiration projects from the rest of the design team. 

As you can see, I made two versions of my card, using all the various little HEARTS that I found amongst the Lawn Fawn sets. Tell me... Which card do you prefer most? The first or the second? I'd love to read your thoughts!

Also... if you follow me on my Facebook or Twitter... then you may have seen that I recently went to CHA in California last week. I never got around to announcing the fact that I was going here on my blog. I will post some pics from my trip soon. I had A LOT of fun and I met SO many wonderful people. So I'd love to share my experience with you all.

Until next time..... Hope you all have a wonderful day!!! :)
