Double Birthday Party! Uniko Studio & Less Is More

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's a DOUBLE Birthday Party. I don't typically do CAS cards or flowers but I decided to jump out of my comfort zone for Uniko Studio's 7th Birthday and Less Is More Challenge 8th Birthday! I created this simple birthday card using an Uniko Floral Digi stamp andcolored it in Navy and Yellow to go along with the Less Is More Challenge #388!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which birthday was your favorite?
A: Me? I would say my 10th birthday because my dad made my identical twin sister and I STILTS! They were awesome!

Valentine Cupid Series #3: XO & The Paper Girls Challenge (Pink, White, & Red)

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am honored to be a Guest Designer for the amazing blog "The Paper Girls Challenge". Nine crafty friends who love crafting so much they decided to start their own challenge for fun and inspiration. The challenges are on the first and third Monday of the month and it always a different theme whether it be sketch, color, and anything in between. This month's challenge #169 is Pink, White and Red. I decided to go with CUPID! This little guy is TOO CUTE not to color up. Details below. If you missed the first cupids in my series, HERE is #1 and HERE is #2.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: If you could only wear ONE of the colors from the challenge every day for the rest of your life which one? Pink, White, or Red?
A: Me? Definitely PINK... at least you could wear a million different shades to mix it up.

Valentine Fawn Series #2: Love You Deerly

Hi Crafty Friends,
Did you enjoy the first of my Valentine DEER Series? If you missed it, check it out HERE! For the second in my series I got out my distress oxides and had some fun. I used Candy Apple and Picked Raspberry, blending them together then splattered with water. I used a heart stencil strip to do the little hearts and the adorable fawns are from Newton's Nook. Hope you like the clean and simple design, I usually cover the card in embellishments and patterned papers so this is a new one for me ;)

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Who was your childhood celebrity crush?
A: Me? Andrew Keegan... look him up! And Jonathan Taylor Thomas from... name that show!

Hi Crafty Friends,

I colored up some adorable fawns from Newton's Nook. Here is the first of my DEER Valentines! I used the Tuesday Morning Sketch Challenge for my inspiration.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is the coldest weather you have ever been in?
A: Me? This is the coldest I can remember.... so -56 windchill
