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!

Now let’s see what our amazing Design Team has created to inspire you!

Grace created a stack of adorable critters precariously balancing their Fintastic Friend on top! This inventive card has lots of movement as the images are attached to a hidden clear thread, making it look as though the stack is swaying back and forth. Be sure to check out Grace’s Instagram to see this card in action!

Samantha M used the windows in Peekaboo Backdrop to make cute little scenes featuring the Happy Howloween pups celebrating a very adorable birthday!

Karin‘s delightful design features a cute couple of dogs from our Critters at the Dog Park set! The wedding attire is found in Bicycle Built for You!

I “wheelie” like Samantha C‘s adorable card starring our little hamster from Wheelie Like You! The rainbow colors add to the charm of this sweet card!

Jessica used a pair of Meow You Doin’ kitties to make this charming card! The sweet little scene is backed by a pretty white on white Fancy Lattice Backdrop!

Franci did a great job of combining old and new on this super cute Shadow Box Card! She used the new Shadow Box Card Park Add-On to create a fun scene for the Critters in the ‘Burbs cat and bunny!

Christy‘s inspiration for her sweet card is her adorable new puppy, Gemma! She used images from Critters at the Dog Park on the custom background and created a cute scene on a Fancy Scalloped Circle using Holiday Helpers and the puppy from Bicycle Built for You!

Who says farm animals can’t be pets? Certainly not Joyce who made this totally fun birthday card featuring the Hay There critters! Her fun scene includes a Leafy Tree Backdrop and the Spooky Fence Border!

Jenn used Meow You Doin’ to depict her 3 favorite kitties! Mr. Harley is overseeing the festivities while Gus stretches and Jac juggles a fish!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll share our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 51 tomorrow!

We’d love for you to tell us about your pets in the comments below! I’m a dog-lover with a couple of senior ladies. Coco is a Golden Retriever and Marty is a golden colored Chiweinie! They are my golden girls!

Beautiful Sketch Challenge Inspiration by Karin

This is the last weekend for the Card Sketch challenge and Karin has two beautiful cards with unique designs to inspire you! If you haven’t in this challenge played yet, check it out HERE. It will be open until 11:59PM ET on Sunday May 5th.

For this first card, Karin die cut a circle in a white cardstock panel. Then on a second panel she inked a lovely sky in pretty pastel colors! She added some grass and Birch Trees. The sweet Butterfly Kisses critters look adorable watching the butterflies flutter above them!

To create the diagonal element in the sketch, Karin cut tiny flowers from Spring Sprig and scattered them in a loose diagonal line. So pretty!

For this lovely card, Karin started with our Layered Butterflies die set. She cut the solid piece from vellum and the outline from white cardstock. Then she used Distress inks in warm colors to add color to both pieces!

To finish her card with sweet style, she layered the butterfly on a Lacy Heart Stackable. Then she die cut rows of Valentine Borders diagonally in the background!

Thanks so much for sharing with us today, Karin!

We will be back on Monday, May 6th with another great challenge theme for you! We think you will like this one!

Wishing you all a happy, crafty weekend!

Joyce’s Butterfly Kisses Sketch Card!

Joyce created an adorably sweet card using Butterfly Kisses and our challenge Card Sketch!

Joyce interpreted the sketch by creating a sweet little scene on a Stitched Circle Stackable! It’s so clever how she arranged the fox, clouds and sentiment so they hang off the edge of the circle! The Spiffy Speckles paper in the background adds lots of interest to this clean and simple design!

Thank you so much, Joyce for inspiring us today! Your card is simply adorable!

The Card Sketch challenge will continue through Sunday, May 5th at 11:59PM ET. We invite you to join the fun; click HERE!

Happy crafting from your friends at Lawn Fawnatics!
