Lawnscaping Challenge #15

Hey there! First of all---THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of your sweet comments on the DeNami + Lawn Fawn Blog Hop!!!! You guys are THE BEST!

Today I wanted to pop in really quickly to share a card I made for the most recent Lawnscaping Challenge!!! I feel like it's been SOOOOO LONG since I've had a chance to participate in any challenges! I'm really looking forward to getting back into the blogland groove!!


Here's my creation:


I've heard of "Christmas in July." Is there such a thing as "Christmas in August"?!?! *wink* I think it's the hot weather down in town. It's making me crave snow, which in turn gets me excited for the upcoming holiday season!

I distressed the snow banks, added a touch of shading with Copic Markers, and then added a touch of sparkle with some DeNami Extra Fine Sparklets Glitter! I also distressed the edges of the patterned paper panel! (Don't ya just LOVE those patterned papers?!?! Jillibean Soup...ahhhh...)

Here's a closer look:


I am in LOVE with this Critters in the Forest set from Lawn Fawn---so whimsical and sweet---and so fun to paper piece!

I "stitched" the patterned paper panels together with the Zigzag Stitch Border from DeNami Design! The sentiment is also from DeNami---just released on July 1----LOVIN' that playful font!


So...what do you think? Are you ready to play along??? Hop on over to the Lawnscaping Challenge Blog for all of the deets!

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you're having a FABULOUS weekend!
