You’re the one for me

Hello! Today I have a layout I made for Nichol Magouirk‘s July Scrapbook Stamping class over at Two Peas in a Bucket! This month’s class is all about creating your own stamped backgrounds!

I had so much fun making this layout with a fun photobooth picture from a wedding! (I love these photos as favors! Too fun!) The hearts on top were done with Teeny Tiny Backdrops and Versamark ink. I love the tone on tone look for backgrounds that are not the main focus. I also used the same technique on the bottom of the layout, but this time I used the single camera stamp from Say Cheese, Too and repeated it for a fun pattern. I drew a pencil line to help me keep my first line of cameras straight. I erased it and was able to fill in the rest of my pattern with no problem!

The light blue paper was stamped with the ledger from Schoolhouse Backdrops in Versamark. I Distress Inked the edges for it to match the other papers. It was fun to make a custom patterned paper to match with a stamp!

The leafy pattern was created by repeating the long stamp from Blissful Botanicals. The trick I used to make it look like patterned paper was to make sure the pattern goes off the edges, then it looks like a  trimmed patterned paper piece! It was so fun to use this stamp because I was able to custom color it with Copics to match that gorgeous plaid Girls Paperie paper. I used a light grey Copic marker over the colors it for it to be more muted like the paper. I also Distress Inked the paper for it to match. 
Lastly, I used Schoolhouse Backdrops for the lines in my journaling frame from Fanciful Frames, and I used a sentiment from Clear to See to finish up my journaling which was fun!

Make sure to go check out Nichol’s July Scrapbook Stamping class and play along!

Fawny Flickr Friday {4.29.11} + something very extra special!

Hello!! It’s Fawny Flickr Friday! We love seeing all of the cards popping up in the Lawn Fawn Flickr group. Make sure you keep adding your projects! You guys are so amazing!!
Today is extra special and we picked *pink* cards for the occasion.
Why pink? Well, Lawn Fawn is going to be donating 20% of profits from May 1st to May 7th to a cause near and dear to our hearts, the Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization.
I lost my beloved grandmother to this disease and my mom is a two time SURVIVOR. Super hero is more like it, actually.
Why Y-ME?
We all really believe in what Y-ME does for women with breast cancer today at Lawn Fawn. This week isn’t just about donating but also raising awareness about what Y-ME can provide and reminders to go to checkups and do self exams. These things are so important! 
Here is a blurb from Y-ME’s site:
At the heart of Y-ME National Breast Cancer Organization™ is the YourShoes® 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center, the only place in the world where someone can call – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year – and talk to a breast cancer survivor and be understood in 150 languages.
Peer support is the cornerstone of Y-ME. We are survivors who have been in “YourShoes” and are here day and night. We cry with you; we laugh with you; we help you figure out what questions to ask your doctor; we can give you a wig or prosthesis. We provide breast cancer support today.
Call 1-800-221-2141 to reach the YourShoes® 24/7 Breast Cancer Support Center.
We are needed now more than ever. Despite advances in breast cancer research and treatment, there is still no substitute for talking to someone who’s been in ‘your shoes’ after a doctor tells you that you have cancer.
Briefly known as Breast Cancer Network of Strength®, Y-ME is a Chicago-based national nonprofit founded in 1978 with the mission to ensure, through information, empowerment and peer support, that no one faces breast cancer alone.
Isn’t this absolutely amazing? Never facing breast cancer alone. We love what Y-ME stands for, so help us help them, and make purchases at www.lawnfawn.com from May 1st to May 7th as we lead up to Mother’s Day. We can’t wait to give to this wonderful cause!
Now, let’s be inspired by some amazing pink cards!
