Home Sweet Home with Lawnscaping + Winner

Hi Friends!

Today is super exciting for 4 reasons. First, it's time for another Lawnscaping Challenge!


I used a new Lawn Fawn set, "Home Sweet Home". Love that set, it has several sentiments, a banner and tons of goodies to build a bird house. 

Texture: flower, Timeless Twine in Aqua, woodgrain background stamp and a canvas background stamp.
When you're aiming for texture, it doesn't have to be tactile texture, you can create the "feel" of texture (like I did with the stamping).

Simon Says Stamp is generously providing the prize, a $25 gift card! You can pick up a Lawn Fawn stamp set and try on of their new dies too!

Secondly, it's my birthday! 

Third, we got a new puppy!!! We named her Addie because she's adorable (get it, Addie for adorable?). She's 16 weeks old and oh my word the cutest thing ever! Our older dog, Roxie, is getting used to her and so far so good! Right now Addie is about 3 pounds and will get to about 4 1/2. She's already such a snuggle bug too!


And finally, I have a winner from my random giveaway! Random.org picked Elise C! Congrats! Elise, if you'll please email me: MEL9252@gmail.com and give my your snail mail addy, I'll get the goodies out to you!

*phew* lots of exciting news for one post, eh? If you made it this far, thank you :) Have a great day!
Melissa
