Pinspired Challenge #15

Hi!
I'm back with another fabulous Pinspired Challenge!!!

We are sponsored by Kiwi Lane! They are offering a $25 Gift Certificate to the challenge winner! Here is a little about them:

Scrapbooking
Scrapbooking is a passion that all three of us have shared for a long time. It is something that has brought us together on countless occasions and strengthened our family bond.

Our frustration grows
The idea for Kiwi Lane started in 2008 while we were scrapbooking together. We were complaining to each other that most of the samples that we found in magazines and online were for one-picture, one-page layouts and depended heavily on expensive embellishments to accomplish their look. Although the layouts were beautiful, recreating them was hard on our budget and we preferred designing two-page layouts so that we could fit more photos and tell a more complete story with each layout.

“Framing” is born

It was this frustration that led us to develop a new style of scrapbooking that provided endless inspiration and simplified the scrapbooking process. We called this technique “Framing,” and it changed the way that we scrapbooked, allowing us to add as many pictures as we wanted and end up with a beautiful, balanced, professional layout every time.

Because the process took advantage of the gorgeous prints and patterns in our paper stashes, we were also able to create pages that were stunning without spending a small fortune on traditional embellishments. As scrapbookers ourselves, this new technique solved all of our concerns and we fell in love with it!

By scrapbookers, for scrapbookersSoon after this we realized that this was something that would benefit all scrapbookers at any level, and we felt a strong desire to share it with others. We have gained such a sense of satisfaction as we have watched our Kiwi community grow, and as others have discovered the way that “Framing” enriches their scrapbooking experience.

If you know someone that is intimidated by scrapbooking or cardmaking, but would like to get into it, please share with them our video on “Framing” at www.kiwilane.com.

I had to create a baby shower card for a friend, so I used this challenge badge as my inspiration.  I figured the birds would make great baby chickies! I used all Lawn Fawn stamps (see list below) and the dies are from Simon Says Stamp.

I was inspired by the nest to add that twine up at the top! I colored everything in with Spectrum Noir markers (TN3, TN5, TN6, TN9, DR4, GG1, CT3, CT4, BT2, BT4) and the birds were paper pieced with Lawn Fawn patterned paper.  I finished off the card with the grouping of the hearts and stars and some 3D Crystal Lacquer on the face of the train, stars and heart in the "o."

I hope you will join us for this challenge!!!

Lawnscaping Challenge #62

Hi! We are back with another Lawnscaping Challenge! This time it's Paper Piecing!

We are sponsored by Lawn Fawn! Make sure to pop on over to the blog - they are currently sneaking some CHA product! And so far, I L-O-V-E it all!



For my card, I paper pieced the flamingo from Gnome Sweet Gnome using papers from Daphne's Closet.  I stamped them onto the cardstock first and then paper pieced them onto the card.

That fun sentiment is from Critters on the Savanna!

Come and play along with us to win a stamp set from Lawn Fawn - thanks for stopping by!

Time to color!!! Welcome to another Lawnscaping Challenge!

I used the coordinating dies (Lawn Cuts) along with the Critters on the Savanna set.  I adhered the lion inside the card using some foam adhesive.

Lawnscaping Challenge #52

Hi! Are you ready to Make A Scene?

I mean that in the best way possible - our next Lawnscaping Challenge is Make A Scene, sponsored by Lawn Fawn!

The original card in this badge was created by Melissa and the post for it is here.  She has some GREAT tips for creating scenes with your stamps.

Guesting for us again this month is my friend Lalo! Pop on over to her blog - she is amazing!

Now, onto my card! I was lucky enough to get some new Lawn Fawn products from the CHA West Release! As soon as I saw the sneaks on these, I knew I had to get my hands on them.  They are some of my favorite designs, ever.  I have to say that the Critters on the Savanna is probably my favorite set ever from Lawn Fawn!

I used two of the cute images and colored them in with my Spectrum Noir markers.  I thought it would be cute to make some 'grass' out of washi tape, so I did that by creating a few different layers and hiding the animals partially in the grass.  The clouds are from the Bon Voyage set and the background paper is from the new Daphne's Closet paper pack.  Please note that Critters on the Savanna and Daphne's Closet papers won't be released until February 21. You can find more details on the Lawn Fawn blog.

Stop on by the Lawnscaping Blog for design team inspiration and the Linky Tool.  We love seeing all of the amazing projects every week!

Thanks for stopping by!
