Winners: Christmas (Final Challenge) - Queen of the Green, Top Mow-It-Alls, Honorable Gnomes

Hey everyone, it's Christy here. Feeling a little bittersweet today as I draft the final Winner's Post of our last ever Lawnscaping Challenge. I've been on this Design Team since it's inception in January of 2011. I was one of the lucky chosen by Laurel to take this incredible journey with her, inspired by our deep love of Lawn Fawn stamps. It has been an amazing six years. I've worked with so many talented artists, gotten to know and be inspired by so many of you talented ladies who've played in our challenges, and I've made some wonderful friendships as well. I'm so, so sad to see it end, but I'm so grateful for the time we've had together here. I hope you'll stay in touch via social media. I believe that Laurel will have one final farewell post for you all, so let's go ahead and get to our winners.

Our Queen of the Green will receive a FREE stamp set, generously donated by Lawn Fawn.

And our Christmas Queen of the Green is:

Zsofi

Lawnscaping Challenge: Christmas themed and a heartfelt goodbye

Hello. Laurel here with you today. Today is a bitter sweet post. We are here to share our latest challenge with you but also announce that this will be the last Lawnscaping Challenge.   We have thoroughly enjoyed our five years together! Five years? Can you believe it? It seems like not long ago that I launched this challenge and can't believe how quickly it grew!  But it is come time to say goodbye and goodbyes are never easy. Most of you know, this challenge was created by me. I came up with the idea, found a fabulous group of designers who were willing to work with me. Created the name, logo, badges.  This challenge is not affiliated with Lawn Fawn.  I was not asked or hired to create this challenge. It's just an idea a measly Florida girl came up with five years ago.  And the rest is history.

• To our followers:  We have such an unbelievably talented audience and we can't thank you enough for riding along with us on this inspirational journey. If you just hopped over to the blog and checked it out of if you played along in our challenges. YOU are what kept this challenge going all these years and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
• To our amazing sponsors, Ellen Hutson and Lawn Fawn: Thank you. Thank you for supporting us these 5 years! Your support and encouragement has meant the world to us and I will forever be grateful.
• To my design team - past and present: You all amaze me... Such a talented group of designers and friends! I am honored that you served along side me. Truly. I'm going to stop because I am getting teary eyed.

Today's final challenge is all about  Christmas or any holiday that you celebrate as I know not all of you celebrate Christmas.

We are sponsored by Lawn Fawn who is sponsoring this challenge with a free stamp set of the winner's choice! We just heart them! Thank you Kelly Marie and gang for sponsoring us!

Merry Christmas Ornament Tag

Hi Everyone! Post for Lawnscaping Challenges  Merry Christmas Ornament Tag
It's Karin here to share some inspiration for the Lawnscaping Challenge blog.

I simply stamped and diecut my tag and then stamped and heatembossed the ornament with silver embossing powder. I fuzzycut it before distressinking it with an inkblending tool. I used tattered rose, victorian velvet and aged mahogany to make it look spherical.
I added some pearls for further dimension.

The Lawn Fawn supplies I used for my project:
Stamps; Ornate Ornaments Winter Gifts
Dies; Tag You're it
Paper; Watercolorpaper from Canson
Embossingpowder ; silver
Pearls


Pop over to the Lawnscaping challenge to be inspired by my talented teamies or play along in the latest challenge.

Have a great day, hugs, Karin
