May Arts & Lawn Fawn Blog Hop

Welcome to the May Arts & Lawn Fawn blog hop! We started this hop on Monday, so if you are just stopping by today, be sure to visit the May Arts & Lawn Fawn blogs to get the full lineup for the week! 

When I was told we would be working with Lawn Fawn, I got excited, I was immediately drawn to the adorable "Admit One" stamp set. I paired it with the Lawn Fawn "Dewey Decimal" paper pad because the colors were bright and fun.

I decided to try my hand at some cards today. I can't take full credit for the idea, I stumbled across it on Pinterest and fell in love with the little paper bags as envelopes. 

I added some of my favorite ribbon from May Arts, Teal Metallic Velvet (377-38-15) and Natural burlap string (SM09).


We are also having 2 giveaways of 3 spools of ribbon along with 1 stamp & die set. The first giveaway will take place Monday- Friday, the second will be over the weekend, Friday-Monday. Visit the May Arts blog for more details! 

Don't forget to visit ribbonistas Erin Thiem and Leah Farrar-White who are also up today with some great projects!

The cards remind me of summer carnivals we used to have! And the paper bag idea is so much more interesting than a regular envelope.
