Today Lawn Fawn is showcasing a few stamp sets & dies today.  On my project, I am using the Thank You Tags stamp set, but I used the set in a different way. Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog to see a ton of great projects, as well as a chance to win some new stuff! I have needed so many thank you cards lately, and this stamp set along with the Woodgrain Notecards, are going to make my life so much easier!!  I think I need to send a set of thank you cards to my daughter as well.  Now that she is in college, friends and family are sending things direct to her, and she doesn't have a lot of extra time to go out and buy thank you cards.  I think it will be nice for her to have a little stash to pull from.

I have a few projects to share today, using the Sweater Weather Collection from Lawn Fawn .  Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog , to see more wonderful projects using Sweater Weather, as well as a chance to win this entire collection! First up, is a layout I created using some of Lawn Fawn's stitched dies.  These pictures, kind of look like we were in snow, but we were really at a local beach.  My Dad, had come out for a visit, and it was cold for Florida, so we took a scenic drive all around NE Florida.  Then stopped at the beach, so he could stare out into the Atlantic (he is from California) and take a few family pictures too.  I was born & raised in California, and guess what?  The Pacific Ocean is freezing!!  Imagine my shock, when we first moved to the east coast, to find the waters warm, it was the strangest thing!  I had no idea that an ocean could be so warm. A quick card, easily made by utilizing dies.

Today I have created a card using one of the newest stamp sets from Lawn Fawn called, Monster Mash.  Monster Mash is so flipping cute!  My children were totally completely obsessed with the movie Monsters Inc, I would have love to have this stamp set back then.  The really awesome part, is there is a coordinating die set too!   One thing that I am obsessed with this week, are the new Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Notecards, in jewel tones...sigh!  So perfect for fall right?  Right now, I really, really, really miss my daughter.  She just went off to college, and it is so hard.  I literally miss her every second, so it is coming out in my card making.  Every card I make right now, I want to send to her lol.  But honestly, I think I will put this card in the Halloween Package I will send her next month, for her and her dorm roomie.   Make sure you head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog , to check out more great inspiration from the design ...

The Lawn Fawn Designers are showcasing projects using the Argyle Backdrops Stamp Set, Forest Border die, and the Stitched Hillside Border dies.  Head on over to the Lawn Fawn Blog , to see a ton of great projects, as well as a chance to win fun product! My first card uses the Lawn Fawn Argyle Backdrops Stamp Set with the Forest Border die, on a Lawn Fawn Woodgrain Note Card.  The flair is from the Sweater Weather Collection.  The green ink was sponged onto the kraft card stock.  This took many, many layers of ink, since I wasn't working with white card stock.

So, my daughter is off at college.  She is attending Florida State University, around 3 1/2 hours from home.  I just moved her in on Sunday (6 days ago), and I already miss her.  I wish I could just give her a hug, buy her a brownie and Starbucks, tell her how much I love her & how proud I am of her, but I cannot.  FaceTime, Skype, texting, phone calls help me get through each day, but it doesn't compare to seeing her face to face. I am sending her this card, with a little note of encouragement.  I hope it makes her smile.

My daughter just finished up her summer semester at Florida State University.  During the summer she lived in the dorm, and brought her jewelry box with her.  When we moved her out of the dorm last week, Kendall mentioned that she didn't want to bring her jewelry box back in the fall because it took up too much space. The other day, she was showing me wall jewelry organizers online.  A lot of them were a little pricey, some were not that cute and didn't match her decor.  So I started a little search myself, and found chicken wire filled frames that were altered to hold earrings/necklaces. I have always wanted to make one of these for myself, to place over my desk and used for special photos (attached with a clothespin), but I honestly just have not gotten around to it.  Yesterday I decided I was going to make one, and headed to Home Depot. Here is the finished project, below I will give step by step directions on how I made this chicken wire jewelry holder....
