Now let’s see where our designers found their inspiration!

Karin was inspired by the cute bear in the new set, Really High Five to create this adorable nod to Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day! She also used Cloudy Stencils and A Bug Deal!

Mermaid for You, Ahoy Matey, Fintastic Friends and Critter Concert helped Samantha recreate a favorite scene from The Little Mermaid!

Joyce‘s adorable card depicts a scene from Kelly Marie’s favorite movie musical, Singing in the Rain! She used the boy from Bicycle Built for You, the street lamp from Here We Go A-Waddling, an umbrella from Plus One and the puddle is the lake from Dad + Me! So much creativity!

Christy was inspired by the classic story of The Ugly Duckling to use our new Swan Soirée set! She combined the swans with the little duck family from Rub-A-Dub-Dub! She also used elements from Toadally Awesome to help set the scene!

Samantha was inspired by the movie Up to create this happy scene! I love how used the Gnome Sweet Gnome flamingo as a stand in for Kevin! She used a house from Spooky Village and the coordinating dies from Really High Five to die cut all the colorful balloons!

Caly used Cole’s ABCs letters to title this adorable Little Mermaid inspired scene! She used Stitched Hillside Borders to create the underwater look! For characters she assembled the usual suspects from Mermaid for You, Christmas Fishes, Fintastic Friends and Life is Good!

Jessica was inspired by a book by E.B. White The Trumpet of the Swan! Our new Swan Soirée provided the lead character along with Mermaid for You! She set the stage using the new Cattails Border and the trumpet and music notes from Critter Concert! The great sentiment is from Beam Me Up!

Jenn was inspired by an awesome card by Grace to create her version of Winnie the Pooh! She was the lucky recipient of Grace’s adorable card!

Jenn found images from a bunch of sets to repurpose for her sweet scene! Pooh bear is played by the On the Beach bear, Christopher Robin is the boy from Screen Time and Eeyore and Piglet are from Hay There! Owl is from So Owlsome and he’s using the butterfly net from Butterfly Kisses!

Little details were provided by Milk and Cookies (large hunny pot) and Love Letters (small hunny pots)!

We will share Design Team inspiration for you over the next 2 weeks and we’ll announce our Featured Fawnatics and random winner for Challenge 71 tomorrow!

We are so excited to have a wonderfully talented Guest Designer join us for this challenge! Help us welcome, Jane! She shares her amazing creativity on Instagram as papercraft4fun!

Jane combined the Reveal Wheel with Build-A-House and the Christmas Add-On to make a brilliant tree house! The woodland owls, birds and squirrels are joining forces to deck it out for the holidays!

Woodgrain cardstock is a perfect idea for the “tree trunk”, door and windows. The bright colored Christmas lights and Chunky Glitter add a fun festive look to Jane‘s wonderful interactive holiday card!

Joyce‘s charming card shows that any critter can be a holiday critter! She added a Santa hat to our cute chameleon and he’s ready to star in her beautiful clean and simple design! The pretty greeting is from Toboggan Together.

The Beary Happy Holidays bears are very happy critters in Samantha‘s adorable card design! They are using great teamwork to decorate the tree with golden fish! Happy Holidays Line Border and Mini Snowflakes add lots of sparkle die cut from Pixie Dust cardstock!

Christy‘s coloring gives the cute Snow Cool critters a sweet vintage style! They are a great addition to the Snow Day Remix scene in the background!

Franci‘s cute hedgies are trimming the Christmas Dreams tree wearing cute Santa hats from Baaah Humbug! She combined the greeting from Hedgehugs with colorful Offset Sayings: Christmas!

Samantha‘s whimsical scene brings new meaning to the term “reindeer games”! The Toboggan Together deer have set up their Screen Time games among the Critters in the Forest trees! I would say these are some very happy little holiday critters!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge 37 – Something Old, Something New!

- Nancy Krueger 15 Comments

Hello Fawnatics Friends! It’s time for a new challenge and we think you will love this one! It’s called Something Old, Something New and the idea is to pair an older Lawn Fawn stamp, die or paper with a newer stamp, die or paper! We just love that all of our sets play nicely together from our first set Critters in the ‘Burbs to our newest sets like Holiday Helpers and Winter Skies! We can’t wait to see your creative take on this new challenge theme! This challenge will be open until Sunday September 30th at 11:59PM ET.

For each challenge, we will randomly select a winner to receive a $25.00 gift certificate to the Lawn Fawn shop! We will also be highlighting a few of your fabulous projects at the close of each challenge! By linking your projects to our challenges you will give permission for us to post your work to this blog and our social media sites. 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!

Let’s see how our amazing Design Team was inspired by this challenge!

Samantha created a totally whimsical card that combines Milk and Cookies with our new So Owlsome set! She also used older Let’s Polka Mon Amie paper with our new Knit Picky Fall paper!

Karin combined our newer Quilted Backdrop and Spring Sprig with older Stinkin’ Cute and Scripty Congrats! Her gorgeous card is so perfectly crafted! I love the look of the delicate flowers on the wreath!

Joyce is so clever with combining older sets with new sets and she totally knocked this one out of the park! The ghosts from Booyah add a super fun and spooky element to the cute Pick of the Patch squirrel and jack o’ lanterns! She added lots of fun texture with our new Woodgrain cardstock!

I love how perfectly the cute elf from Holiday Helpers pairs with the adorable fairy from Frosty Fairy Friends! Jess combined these two sets beautifully! That adorable sentiment is from Winter Big Scripty Words!

Franci‘s delightful holiday card features our new set Holiday Helpers with cute little elves! She created a cool North Pole background with masking and ink blending! Her old set is Snow Day, with its perfectly lovely Merry and Bright greeting!

Franci even added a cute little scene to inside of her charming card!

Christy‘s adorable card features the older Critters in the Arctic and Chit Chat with the fresh new colors and patterns of Knit Picky Fall! She also used a brand new Reverse Stitched Scalloped Square Window to frame the adorable winter critters! Chit Chat is still one of my favorite sentiment sets!

Samantha created her signature inky background for this beautiful Winter Skies scene! How cute are the foxes looking at the moon! But there is a surprise inside…

…our Mini Pop-Up Box allows Samantha to add colorful Out of this World planets with cute hats and scarves! So much amazing creativity!

We will have Design Team inspiration for you over the next two weeks and of course our Featured Fawnatics and Random Winner for Challenge 36 tomorrow!
