Advent calendar featuring Lawn Fawn !

Update: This Advent Calendar recived the " Top Mow-It-All" title!! I'm so happy! thanks! :)

Hi there and welcome back to my blog! 
Today I'm ready to show you the Advent Calendar that I made for this year!

I just love waiting for Christmas with an Advent Calendar! When I was a child my mom gave to me the best Advent Calendar ever because it was handmade by her, so lovely! I think I began to appreciate giving parents and persons we love something handmade by ourselves from that very moment! 
So every year I try to make a unique advent calendare to make someone happy! :)
I think this year it is a super colored and funny one! These number stamps by Lawn Fawn are just perfect, I love their size and design! And you stamp only the outline so you can color them as you want and this make them so versatile! 
Here's a little detail of the photo..

I usually don't count day number 25 but I always add a little festive card on Christmas Eve that refers to the Christmas tree and to all the presents! Yeah I stamped it in Italian cause I wanna say Buon Natale to everyone...although it is a bit 'soon! ahah! :)

Challenge: 

I hope you enjoy and thank you so much for stopping by today! 
Have an amazing week!

Noel...

Update: New addition to the Designer Spotlight at Simon Says Stamp! I'm so happy! thanks! :)

Hi there!
This is the most beautiful time of the year, the cold weather has finally arrived here and some Christmas decoration are starting to beautify the houses and the streets of my small town.
I made some cute tags these day, my desk is always full of crafting supplies and my mom saves her magazine and documents from my distress inks ahah!
I'm still improving my technique with these fabulous inks and yeah, I only have few colors so my cards are always blue! I'm blending here and there all the time my two favourite distress Broken China and Tumbled Glass! ahah!
So here's my tag!

I used the Hello die from Mama Elephant to realize my Noel sentiment!I trimmed all the letters that I needed from the original Hello ( the "N" is from the hello "H"!)

Challenges: 

You can find other "penguin tags" here, here, and here.

I hope you enjoy and thanks for stopping by today! 

See you next time!

Hello Xmas!

Hi there! 
Yeah I'm having so much fun with these little penguins! Today I wanna show you this tag that I made few days ago...

I love this hello die cut from Mama Elephant, it's so fine and elegant! 

And I think it's perfect to complete my little scene. Infact I set this scene as you see it, because I want this penguins to build their own Christmas; I's seem like they are decorating their little ice houses, writing on ice, bringing Xmas letters and stars!

I set another scene with little penguins, as if they were Santa's helpers, click here to see it!

I hope you like it!

Feliz Navidad!

Hi there! Another tag today, that I made with 2 fantastic stamp sets by Mama Elephant : Merry greetings and Arctic Penguins. I created this little gardlan with the holly leaf stamp from the first set, using a circle die cut as a guide, and then I added this cute penguin in the center. Then I create this old effect with some distress!

I hope you enjoy! :)

I love fall

Hi to everyone!

Here's a little card that I made to enter Lawnscaping Challenge!

It's about Fall or Pumpkins, so I decided to make a cute card with "Into the woods" stamp set, by Lawn Fawn.I really love these little critters, they are perfect for any occasion! 

I also submitted this card to SSS Monday Challenge, it's about " Good 'ol Days" so I think this vintage look that I created with some distress is perfect! :)
