Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 104 – Summertime Fun

- Nancy Krueger 12 Comments

Hi Friends! I hope your summer is in full-swing (and that our friends in the Southern Hemisphere had a memorable summer)! We are focusing this challenge on all the fun activities and happy events of summer!

We invite you to share your creativity by linking up your crafty projects at the end of this post! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies and papers. This challenge will run for 2 weeks and be open until Sunday, July 18th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select an entry 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’ll keep the rules to just a few!

Let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by this new theme!

Joyce assembled this fantastic summery scene using just die sets! She started with Scalloped Treat Box Beach House Add-On to make the little beach cottage, it includes the seagull and driftwood. The cute crab is in part of the Palm Trees set. She set the beachy scene using Stitched Wave Borders and Slimline Stitched Hillside Borders.

Karin‘s Magic Iris card features the beachy images from On the Beach! She filled the iris with a sunny greeting from Magic Messages!

Franci‘s Shadow Box Card is filled with colorful Smooth Sailing images! I love how she added the clouds and seagulls on acetate strips so they appear to be in the “sky”!

Our fun sloths are getting in on the Summertime Fun! Samantha combined Hang in There, I Like Naps and Slow Down and Enjoy with Make Lemonade and a sentiment from Simply Celebrate Summer!

Who doesn’t love toasting marshmallows on the beach! This mermaid and crab borrowed some S’more the Merrier supplies to make the yummy treats! How amazing is Jessica‘s ocean sunset background?!

Caly combined two favorite summertime treats, watermelon and popsicles for her inspiration project! She used I Scream, You Scream to craft up these refreshing pops!


A bunch of our cute mice are enjoying at the beach in Samantha‘s clever design! She ink-blended the shoreline background adding splatters for lots of texture. She added beach accessories from Life is Good, Fintastic Friends and On the Beach for the mice to enjoy! The mice are from Bubbles of Joy, Dandy Day, Super Star, Love Poems and You’re Just My Type! You gotta love the one jumping into the waves!

Christy‘s beautiful Mermaid for You Flip-Flop mermaid is making a splash in her fantastic ink-blended ocean scene!

Jenn framed up her On the Beach scene using Tropical Leaves Backdrop! She added some images from Toucan Do It to drive home the tropical theme!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 103 – Little Things tomorrow!

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!

Samantha’s Whimsical Crazy Antics Card

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

Hey everyone, Samantha here with a super cute summertime card that is inspired by the current Fun with Food challenge! I love creating scenes with animals. It is so much fun to combine different stamp sets together to create a whimsical project.

I absolutely love the new Crazy Antics stamp set, all of the little picnic foods are so adorable and the basket is ready to be filled with the delicious treats. The birds are enjoying their food while hanging out with their sloth friends from Hang in There and Slow Down and Enjoy. The watermelon from the Simply Celebrate Summer stamp set creates a fun  border to the picnic scene! 


I layered a few clouds from the Simple Puffy Cloud Frames set on top of pattern paper from the Spring Fling Petite Paper Pack. The clouds create a subtle but really fun depth to the background. The grass from the Meadow Borders set is prefect for scenes because the height of the grass is very playful. 


The Fun with Food challenge is open until Sunday, July at 11:59 EST. We look forward to seeing your entry! Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Samantha! Your card is totally adorable and perfect inspiration for the current challenge!

Supplies:

Have a wonderful weekend!
