Samantha explains her Show Us Where You Live design: I live in South Carolina, and it’s called the Low Country here for a reason! lol! You can guarantee, any time you see a body of water (small or large!) there will be an alligator swimming in it!


Samantha inked the background and the Stitched Pond to start setting the scene for this alligator habitat. She used Distress Oxide ink in Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn and Pine Needles. Then she filled in images from Critters in the Jungle, Toadally Awesome and Swan Soirée.


Finally, she added the alligators from Croc My World and Wild For You and the perfect little message! Somehow these two don’t look so intimidating.

Thank for this super fun inspiration, Samantha!

Samantha’s Seven Swans a Swimming Card Sketch Inspiration

- Nancy Krueger 4 Comments

We can’t wait to see how you are inspired by this Card Sketch! Link up your entry photos HERE! Your project should feature Lawn Fawn stamps, dies, stencils and papers and follow the challenge theme. This challenge will be open until Sunday, December 18 at 11:59PM ET.

Samantha was inspired by a favorite holiday song to make her Card Sketch design!

Samantha’s flipped the sketch for her beautifully clever card! The “seven swans” from Swan Soirée are swimming in the Stitched Pond. She used lots of pretty papers including Pixie Dust Sparkle to add lovely texture to her design.

She combined two Snow Flurries Backdrop snowflakes with the sentiment as she followed the sketch!

Love the “seven swans a swimming” theme, Samantha! So clever! Thanks for sharing with us.
