The Sentiment

What a whirlwind of events this past 3 day weekend!  I had a successful craft fair despite the rain and thank all my family, friends and sweet strangers that still shopped through the weather.  Unfortunately I caught a cold and was completely out on Sunday and most of Monday, but pulling through since it's a short work week.

Anyway, I quickly wanted to enter this card for the next Lawnscaping Challenge making the sentiment the main focus of my card...


I was going for the crazy Christmas sweater look...hehehe.  Took a bunch of Lawn Fawn Fa La La pattern paper and went to town!  Quick and fun.  Also wanted to introduce the latest idea brought to you by the hubby.  He gave me this awesome idea to do a series every Monday called "Picking Up the Pieces Monday."  I thought it was hilarious but it will incorporate my most favorite thing...paper piecing!  So stay tuned every Monday for a card or project using paper piecing.

Mahalo for stopping by and have a great week ahead!

  4. Pretty CAS card, love it!
    Ho boy did we get some heavy duty rain early Monday morning. I guess we got the remnants of the passing storm.
    Take care of that cold - see you soon!

  7. I love the simplicity of this card. It gives me a great idea of what to do with my scrap strips and how I can speed up my card production. I'm glad you had success at the craft fair(s). Amazing that you can craft even though you are sick. Take care and get better soon.
