That it is time for another peek!! And to dish some fun news ๐
But first, about the card!
How cute is that owl? LOVE IT!!! This is another peek from Pink Cat Studio Party Farm Animal set. I love it! Check outย the PCSย blogtoo, for Blog Candy and the other DT member’s samples.
I think this owl is my favorite image from the set. How can you not love it?
I had so much fun making this card. I love owl’s, I love circles, I love rub-on’s, I love scallops, I love pink & brown, and I love home-made dew drops! LOL!
Can you tell I love it?
Now onto my early Birthday gift that was unexpected!! NO IT WAS NOT THE CRICUT!! I told you “unexpected”!
My dear blog reader & PSF Dee, sent me info about this contest to win the entire Clip it up system! You had to send in 3 cards. I wasn’t sure I should enter because I HATE contests!! Much more than submission rejections! LOL! She kept telling me to go ahead, andย try. Me being the “you miss a 100% of the chances you don’t take, and I definitely won’t win if I don’t try”, did listen and went ahead and submitted. I forgot all about it actually.
Anyway, while I was out I got a message from Renee at Simply Renee, and I won in the friend category! How cool is that, that I will FINALLY get the Clip it up! Plus my card is going to be used in their advertising!! WOW!!! That is just as cool as winning something ๐
Thanks Dee for forwarding that to me! I would not have found that out, otherwise.
The card should be posted on their site, later today! Ill let you know. I sent three, like asked, ย so am unsure which was the “winner”. I will post again later-plus I have to finish another sneak peek sample.
FYI-my Craft Critique article is being posted TOMORROW! DUH! I swear it got moved! LOL!
Lastly, here is my Class Schedule for the day. None of the items have ever been done here! Totally fresh and new, using some of the newest products and hottest paper lines out there. I truly love each piece that I created, and am proud to share it with anyone who decides to attend.
Thanks to Michelle for helping me get it all priced and organized. Im just clueless!
Michelle will be posting this to her site SOON!!! So I will post my class descriptions here.
ย I know she was feverishly working and waiting on me to update her classes for May. You can see that HERE! So make sure you sign up if you want to go!
NOTE: (this is being very wishful! LOL!) If a class fills, and seems popular, I will repeat it the following month, if there seems to be enough interest.

Gorgeous card!!
I love it!!!!!!!!!!
Super cute card Lauren! I love how you used the Rub On across the card! Great idea! Congrats on winning the contest….very cool tool you won!
Could you please stamp another “Lauren” and have her move to the Houston Texas area. And then have her teach all these cool classes. And own all those cool stamps?!?! ;););)
We need a “you” in our area. I bet your classes will fill up extra fast. And if they don’t, those people just don’t know what treat that they are missing!
I love the card. I am with ya on the colors, circles, dew drops and the little owl.
And congrats on winning. I am not surprised!
Your classes sound great wish I lived close enough to attend. Some very lucky stampers will have a great day. Congrats on winning the contest and super that the prize is something you really wanted. Love the card. I have been playing with plain dew drops( Oregon Ralndrops from pinkhedgepapercrafts 60 cents for approx. 120). For different looks try Future floor wax and Pearlex mixed to form paint and paint on the backs of drops or floor wax and glitter to paint on the back for a whole new look. They turn out really spectacular and are super cheap and really pretty. I stuck them to a piece of masking tape with the bottoms up and did a 25 of each color so they are ready to use. They take a while to dry with the wax so don’t get impatient or they stick together. TFS Ann
Stunning card ,super cute ,xxxxx
Great card Lauren! I’m trying to figure out how I can get from Connecticut to New Hampshire for your classes. Maybe if I ask for it for Mother’s Day. ๐
I am so jealous of all the lucky people who live close enough to take your class!! Will you post some photos of those projects? They sound fabulous. Congrats on the contest too!!
Of the images I’ve seen, I would have to agree…that is the cutest owl! ๐
Congrats on the contest Lauren! wow your projects sound AWESOME hope you will be posting pictures. Makes me want to move to New Hampshire so i can take classes.Lol
Super cute card, Lauren! That little owl is so fun to play with!
I love this owl card – of all of the sneak peeks, I think he is my favorite animal and definitely has me anticipating the release so that I can order it. You mentioned that you used home-made dew drops. May I ask how you make them?
Your classes sound GREAT!! Really, you want to move to Seattle, don’t you?!?!
Question? Lauren did you do a card with a scalloped top that used the Paisley nestabilities. I wanted to buy the paisley nestie but when I checked for the tutorial I couldn’t find it and I was sure it was one of your beautiful creations. Thanks Ann
Very pretty, love the flowers and swirls going across and your owl is just too cute! Homemade dew drops…do tell!
Doggone it, I wish we still lived in CT! I would come to your classes! That would be SO much fun…I know everyone is going to have a FABULOUS time! How cool…
I don’t know how you get so much accomplished, you are like the energizer bunny! Congrats on winning the Clip it Up, that is awesome! Way to go!!! ๐
Lauren could you come to my house in Wylie, texas and teach me how to make those. LOL Love the card and congrats on winning the clip it up. susan
That owl is so cute!! I wish I lived close by so I could take your classes. I think they would be great!!
I wish I could fly down and join in….but I’m only a nurse…so I’ll just have to see your samples on the web!!! Thanks em
Great card! Love the owls! Congrats on winning the clip it up system, very cooL! Your classes sound great, come to CT next ok?? Boy do you move fast though, you just mentioned the class thing just the other day! WOW, you make me tired!
Congrats on the win! I’m sure your card is wonderful! Can’t wait to see it! You classes look fabulous – wish I could take one!
Wowzers, those classes sound amazing! So jealous of everyone that will be able to attend. I’m sure the classes will fill quickly and that there will be a waiting list as well. How do you do it all? You must go a hundred miles an hour all day long. You can accomplish more in your sleep than I get done in a week! -Molly B
This card is great….I love how things flow across the bottom. Very nice. Joan
Lauren, these sound like wonderful classes. Oh man, I wish so bad I could attend! Congratulations on winning the clip it up! That is really cool!
Oh wow! You just gave me a lot to absorb all at once. I don’t know where to begin…
Congratulations on the classes – they sound wonderful and so much fun. I so wish I lived closer. I’d take a class or two in a heartbeat!
I just went to the website. What an awesome store. It looks very organized and fun to shop in. And, what was that I read – NH is tax free? I didn’t know that.
Another big congratulation on winning that Clip It system. I haven’t check that link out yet, but Iwill. Sounds cool.
Love the card and the owl is the cutest!
Okay, gotta run so I’ll talk to you later!
Hugs,
Renee
This card is gorgeous! Congrats on the Clip-It-Up!! ๐

Congratulations on your winning submission, on your classes and on this uber cutie pie owl card. Who’d of thought to do an owl in pink and brown???

Diane

Super Cute Card Lauren!

Your card is soooo adorable, and your coloring is fabulous!! I love the way you’ve used those rubons too!!
Congratulations on winning a Clip it up! Woo hoo!! ( I just set mine up recently, and I’m loving it!!)
You need to take your show on the road! Just make sure there are stops in either South Carolina or Florida! Or how ’bout a video of your classes we can purchase? Sign me up!!!!!
Your work is a true inspiration. Thanks for sharing your talents with us!
Love this card Lauren….Eerythig about it.
This card is so pretty Lauren! Great job! And congrats on winning a Clip it up!! Way to go!!
I so really wish you were in southern IL. I would totally be there all day long for all the classes!
Blast it! There are some serious disadvantages to living on the west coast besides higher gas prices. Congrats on winning the clip it up. Those classes are going to fill up fast.
Love that owl, just too cute. Congrats on winning the clip it up, what a cool prize.
I wished I lived closer to you too. I would LOVE to attend these classes. If you ever have the ability to do the classes from afar (like selling the kits) I would love to participate. I know anything you teach or create would be fabulous!
Oh wow…pity I love in Aus…I would love to come to your classes….gee they sound fantastic. Best of luck with it all:)
WE HAVE A NEW BABY GIRL IN OUR FAMILY! I’m a grandmother for the 1st time! OK, I had to let you know! Lauren, once again, you are amazing!!! I dearly love all of your cards, and everything you do! Congrats to you on your win! I would so love to attend your classes (but can you come to NC?) The weather is just beautiful here. The sun is out, the azaleas have already bloomed, the birds are nesting and singing, and people are planting flowers and mowing grass outside. The grills are getting cranked up. Did I talk you into it yet? I am convinced that your classes will be very well-attended, and you will excel in anything you do!!!
I’m so excited about your class even though I won’t even be able to go! I live overseas! Have a great time and love all your work! Wow!
You know, Lauren…Mansfield, Texas is a REALLY great place to live! You ought to consider moving here. ๐
CONGRATULATIONS for your classes and for winning the Clip It Up!!!
The classes sound like they are going to be a BLAST! I wish I could attend. Did you ever think of becoming like a consultant and going to different towns teaching classes?????
Actually, I don’t consider NH too far for a quick plane ride, if only I could get around.
HEY, I have an idea…how about doing them on line like a VSN??? Think of the possibilities, I’m excited and ready!!! We could pay you with PayPal or credit card, you can issue a list of supplies two or so weeks in advance and we would be READY!!!!
Okay, back to reality. The card is cute, I love the colors and layout.
HAPPY “BEFORE” YOUR BIRTHDAY WISHES!
Hugs.
Lauren! You TOTALLY ROCK! How clever of you to make the card to look like an iPod!
Brilliant! You are so talented. I wish I lived in Manchester to go to your classes. That was a bonus b-day gift for you, winning a prize and all. You have fun tomorrow on your birthday and shop, shop, shop! HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I am treating myself to all three of your classes in May and I am looking forward to meeting you. I am glad to only live an hour from this store.
