This is an amazing celebration!! I am truly honored and beyond grateful to be part of this amazing hop!

Rubeena is such a super talented crafter and such an inspiration!! If you do not already follow her make sure to do so, you will absolutely fall in love with everything she creates!

I was very excited to create something to share with you in honor of this celebration. I began with two fun cards with some crafty friends in mind. I was inspired by two previous "Disney Themed" cards I had created using Lawn Fawn products. The first one was actually created for Rubeena's birthday. It was an Alice in Wonderland themed card. I recreated it in honor of her hop but this time I used the fun Shadow Box die.

I wanted to create an area to write a note in for the recipient of this card, so I

created a mini card on the back of my shadow box.

Here is the inside of the card:

I used the same Copic markers as I did for the first card with this theme.

Please feel welcome to check out that post here.

For my second card, I used the beautiful

Magnolia Clear Stamp by Avery Elle.

I ended up creating a set of cards with the gorgeous image from this set.

I used Daniel Smith watercolors to color the flowers in.

For the background, I used Gouache paint.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by today!

I hope you will join us tomorrow for Day 2 of this amazing hop and celebration!!!

Wishing you a wonderful and blessed day!!

Up next is the super talented Keeway Tsao!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge Favorite Place ....

Hello everyone!! Happy Sunday!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

We had a super busy weekend planned, yesterday was lots of fun celebrating

one of my adorable nieces 2nd Birthday. Today we were planning

on building our gazebo (part of our backyard remodel). We were ready to spend the whole

day... in the heat, lol ( wasn't too excited about that part) when we found out that we could not

place the gazebo onto the freshly laid turf we had just had installed. We ended up having a nice

relaxing Sunday. It was a wonderful surprise, I was able to do a bit of crafting just for fun.

For my cards today I had a completely different idea on what I was going to create, but since it was the last day to join the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge # 34 Favorite Place I ended up minimizing the design I had in mind. I still had so much fun creating for this theme.

For my first card I was inspired by our first trip last year to the San Diego Zoo and the Safari Park,

we absolutely loved it!!

We also recently visited the Oakland Zoo and fell in love with the new exhibits they have.

As you can see from the card one of my favorite places to go is the Zoo.

For my next card, I had to create a Disney theme card. LOL...Yes, had to!! We love our Disney trips.

And you know me and Disney themed Lawn Fawn cards, lol.

This one was a different version of a previous card I had created.

Please feel welcome to see that post here.

I used the same Copic Marker combos to color these images in.

I also added my version of Winnie The Pooh on the bottom left corner.

I hope you enjoy the cards I created to share with you today!

Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed day!

LLLC Inspiration Friday Using the New Release....

Hello and Happy Friday everyone!!

I am stopping by today to share a card I created for La-La Land Crafts

Inspiration Friday. Our theme is super fun: Use the New Release.

I reached for the cutest Christmas hippos from the Hippo Holidays Clear Stamp Set.

I colored this adorable image using Copic markers ( I will have the colors listed at the bottom).

To create my card I heat embossed the Shine Bright Background Stamp Set onto black cardstock then added some white splatters with acrylic paint for a snowy effect.
