Hello Fawnatics Friends! March is a big month here at Lawn Fawn! We are celebrating our 8th birthday as a company and with this challenge, Lawn Fawnatics celebrates our 1st birthday!! Woohoo! Big thanks to you all for making it a wonderful year of shared inspiration! For this Color Inspiration Challenge we chose a bright happy rainbow of color! Let the color inspire you as you create a new project with any theme you choose! This challenge will be open until Sunday April 1 at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. Check out the How to Play page for a few guidelines to play along. We want this to be FUN so we will keep the rules few!

We are so happy to announce a Guest Designer for this challenge; please welcome Megan Quinn! You may recognize her as @solyciela on Instagram. We were so impressed with her fabulous card designs in past challenges that we had to ask her be our Guest Designer!

How cute is this fun card combining our new Beam Me Up with the kitty and cute images from Meow You Doin’?! Megan added an inked Snowy Backdrop along with the cutest little space aliens!

Now let’s get some inspiration from our amazing Design Team!

Just in time for Easter cardmaking, Karin has an adorable Chirpy Chirp Chirp card with rainbow colored Easter eggs!


Joyce‘s high-flying design features our Plane and Simple airplanes in rainbow hues! She added beautiful color to the Stitched Cloud Backdrop!


Samantha M left her Happy Village images white while adding a burst of bright watercolor to the background!

Franci created a fun Ahoy Matey scene then included the challenge colors with some Perfectly Plaid Rainbow paper! Brilliant!

Oh wow, Christy‘s fabulous Beam Me Up card includes a slider so the little alien can be “beamed aboard” the spaceship! The galaxy background and colorful aliens add to the fun of this awesome design!

Kate used our brand new set, Simply Celebrate for this gorgeous emboss-resist card design!

Samantha C made a totally charming card with Toadally Awesome and Mini Picture Frames! That’s an adorable and colorful portrait wall!

Jessica‘s gorgeous fairy garden card features images from Fairy Friends and Gleeful Gardens! I love all the cute hummingbirds in rainbow colors!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 24 tomorrow!
