Mimi’s Fun Lift the Flap Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 5 Comments

We hope you are having fun with new Change the Scene challenge! It is a 3-week challenge that will be open until Sunday, September 4th at 11:59PM ET.

All of the auto specialties, mechanics, tire store and car wash, are really busy in Mimi‘s brilliant lift the flap card! When you open the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps windows, you get a glimpse of the activity at each business!

Mimi inked a pretty backdrop on the Small Slimline with Lift the Flaps panel before she decorated each flap with a fun car theme! She combined Home for the Holidays cars, Smooth Sailing critters and Village Heroes fire station. She altered the little car to become the tow truck, adding the hook from Booyah and the package strings from Special Delivery Add-On. So clever!

Under the flaps you get a close up inside the tire store, the mechanics shop and the car wash! For this larger view she used the Car Critters car and critters from Berry Special, Scootin’ By and Merry Mice. To create the car wash, Mimi used the rolling pin from Baked with Love and the branch from Frosty Fairy Friends, how clever is that! Check out the supply list below for more images used in clever ways!

Thank you so much for inspiring us with this brilliant Change the Scene card, Mimi!

Samantha’s Whimsical Christmas Tree Lot!

- Nancy Krueger 1 Comment

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a project inspired by the current Oh Christmas Tree challenge! Christmas trees are such an iconic symbol of Christmas. Many families have many traditions surrounding the Christmas tree, and they create the perfect canvas for ornaments and trimmings.

 
I wanted to create a card surrounding the joy and whimsy of Christmas trees. So made a tree farm that is located deep in the snowy mountains. What makes this tree farm fun is that is run by the most joyful and enthusiastic yetis! Once you pick out your tree, they will gently place it on the roof of your car. The Yeti or Not stamp set is one of my most favorite Lawn Fawn sets. The yetis are so fluffy and have the sweetest expressions, and they are a perfect addition to any snowy or holiday scene! 

There is still time to enter your project in the Oh Christmas Tree challenge! It will be open until this Sunday, November 15th at 11:59 PM EST. We look forward to seeing your creation! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you have a wonderful day!
