Lawn Fawn Entry for Challenge 115 - card entry

I had to make a card for the challenge.  I have some sets that are in my collection but never used.  I had to pull some out and came up with this New Year's Card.

 

(All stamps used were by Lawn Fawn.  The Tiny Birthday Friends, Birthday Before N Afters, Oliver's Stitched ABC dies and Stitched Rectangle Stackable.)

Lawn Fawn Entry for Challenge 115

Here's to bringing in a new year.  2022 is just right around the corner. #lawnfawnatics.  This was made with Lawn Fawn's Tiny Gift Box die.  It's hard to see but in between each box is a pearl bead.  I "sewed" the boxes together using the bead as a divider/cushion.  This allows the boxes to move freely.  It turned out super cute. 

 

 

(Stamps used: Lawn Fawn Mice on Ice and Lawn Fawn Celebration Countdown. Boxes were made with Lawn Fawn's Tiny Gift Box die.)

Holiday crafts

 I started my holiday gifts early this year.  All of Daniel's teachers and neighbors got a tree this year.

     

 


Here are some more crafts.

Springtime Cards

Here are some homemade cards I did earlier this year for Send a Smile Today charity group and for the Lawn Fawn Addict card group. 

  



  







Fall Gardening

I wanted to wait until it was time to plant to add new items to the front garden.  I put out the following combination of flowers to add as accent pieces.  

It took the whole day to dig the holes, put them in and water them.  In the end it looked pretty good.

To Kill a Mockingbird Project

I wanted to post this so I do not forget how cool this project turned out.  My 9th grader had picked to do a memory box project of objects that represented the events from the book.  Here's what he put in his box.  He got an A on this!!!!

Cards of Kindess

Here's a batch of cards for the charity project from Scrapbook.com vendor.  Here's the link to the project.  



Medical Play Dolls

 Utah and Maryland hospitals are now calling these dolls play dolls and not learning dolls.  I made 13 for each of the two hospitals.  The hard part is sewing the edge of the gown since it was small.



Ashland Balloon Festival

 It was great to see my family come to visit us for the festival.  Too bad the rain and wind came in the evenings so the balloons did not fly.  The last night at least we had a chance to listen to the live band and eat the festival food. 





Home Improvement: Front Door

I had the front door converted from arched to rectangle.  It was too expensive to replace the arch door and storm door. 


   
(before and after)



Message Board

 My son picked out the fabric for the craft room.  I made some covers for my cutting machines.  I had left over fabric to make two message boards.  One is in the craft room and the other is in the family room.  It matches the new painted walls very well. 


  


Some birthday cards

Home improvement projects are done so now it is time for some relaxing crafting.  Here are some cards I made in June.

  

  




Home Improvement: Family Room

 The family room walls were not taped and mud properly so one way of fixing it was installing the fake stone.  The fake wall will add more insulation for the winter since that is an external wall. 



The upstairs linen closet was converted to shelves and drawers.  Now it has more updated look. 

 


Home Improvement: Bathroom

 The upstairs bath had the title splash changed since there were some chipped parts.  The old fashion laundry shoot was converted into a TP holder.

 

 


Home Improvement Project: Bathrooms

 Well, I decided to change the 1/2 bath into a full bath without tub just a shower.  Thanks to Wit Construction.  The guys were great.
