LI'S SUMMER CAMP 2022

 Good morning everyone.  Oh my gosh, I am behind again and Lasting Impressions' Camp 2022 has already started and the last week of videos will begin August 15th.  I can hardly wait.  :-)  In the meantime, here are the cards I made during Week 1 and Week 2.  I would encourage you to take a look at the videos for same and join the fun in August!  Happy camping.  :-)  Donna

LAWN FAWN COOKIE SHEET PROJECT

 Oh my gosh, time does really fly when you are having fun. And, that is exactly what I have been doing!  Here is what has kept me busy for the last week or two:

Donna's LF Cookie Sheet

Jenn (Creative Chick) decided to do an Advent Calendar using a cookie sheet and Lawn Fawn stamped images.  She then did an on-line class for 7 hours.  Yep ... you read that correctly ... 7 very long hours.  The nice thing, you could replay the video at your own speed.  You can bet, that's exactly what I did so I could add the small details that I love to do.  Most images are colored with Copic Markers and all are individually mounted on a magnet.  I love how it turned out and I hope you enjoy taking a peek at what I did to complete it.  The idea for the Christmas Lights at the bottom is from two very creative Lawn Fawn Designers, Chari and Caly.  If you have time, go see what Jenn does on her web site.  You will find her at:  https://shurkus.com/

Until next time, Happy Thanksgiving and I hope you are working on your Christmas Cards!  Happy Crafting.  :-) Donna

LI's SUMMER CAMP WEEK 3 BEGINS SOON!

 

Donna's LI Summer Camp Sunshine Cut Out.

Good morning!  I'm excited to remind you that Week 3 of LI's Summer Camp Videos will run August 17 - 20th, entitled "Note Worthy."  The card I made above is just a peek of what is to come ... my favorite week!  So, get ready to play and come watch!  I also want to show you two cards below made by one of my cardmaking classmates over the weekend using LI Christmas Cut Outs.  Kathy did such a great job and I think you will agree.  Happy crafting!  :-)  Donna

CHRISTMAS IN JULY WITH KARIE!

 

Karie's LI Pot of Daisies.

Hello once again!  As promised, today is all about my friend Karie and her embossed versions of Week 2, LI's Summer Camp!  Before I do, however, did I mention to you that Karie is a nut?  The latest is a bunch of pots with daisies like the one pictured above.  The daisies are a LI Cut Out and my nutty friend made 24 of these pots ... all with different colored pots and daisies.  Nuts!  Here now are Karie's adorable card ideas:

Karie's Pocket Tag using LI Cut Outs.

Karie's Embossed Trees.

Karie's Embossed Tree & Gift Box.

Karie's "Oh Christmas Tree."

Karie's Reindeer & Santa.  My favorite!

I hope we have inspired you to get started on your own Christmas Cards.  The clock is ticking!  Happy embossing, :-)  Donna.

SUMMER CAMP WEEK 2

Donna's LI Cut Outs Christmas Santa card.

Greetings from a week of Summer Camp ... at Lasting Impressions!  To be perfectly honest, Week 2 was not my favorite.  Maybe it was the weather, I don't know, but "Christmas in July" just didn't seem right and I was not inspired "at first!"  However, I ended up having so much fun creating new ideas that I "sorta" like Week 2.  In fact, I am having my own "Christmas in July" classes next weekend!  LOL  Once I got my creative juices flowing, I could not stop.  Here is just a few of the things I made and tomorrow, I will show you what my friend Karie came up with as she embossed her versions of Week 2.  I think you will love what she does so stay tuned.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY WEEKEND!

Hi everyone and Happy 4th of July weekend!  OMG, once again Karie has done some amazing cards and, in fact, she sent me the one above.  I really like the layout and, in particular, the burlap strip going across her card.  Here are a few more from Karie below.  Have a safe and wonderful celebration.   Happy embossing and thank you Karie!  :-)  Donna

SUMMER CAMP WITH KARIE!

 

Karie's Home Card from LI Summer Camp 2021.

Good morning everyone.  I have some cute cards to show you from Karie.  Let me first say, "this girl can cut better than anyone!"  Wow.  I really like all the beautiful colors Karie picked out for the first card above.  I just might have to pinch this one!  :-)  And here are some more of her ideas:

I think you will agree with me, Karie did a great job with Week 1.  I hope you ordered your Kit and played along.  If not, there is still time to get your Kit or order product from the Kit.

Thanks again Karie for sharing your beautiful cards.  Now let's get ready for "Christmas in July" which begins July 13th!  Until then ... happy embossing.  :-)  Donna
