Unique Crafters Challenge #2 - Paper Flowers

Happy April to you all!  Since it's the start of a new month, Unique Crafters has a great new challenge beginning.  This month the theme is paper flowers.  My favorite way to use paper flowers is to cut them out of patterned paper...that way they totally coordinate with the collection I am working with (plus I don't have to go searching through lots of flowers to find the right ones).  I thought this collection by My Mind's Eye was perfect for documenting my special Mother's Day last year.

Now I hope you are as excited as I am to participate in this challenge...I can't wait to see what you all come up with!  And you have the whole month to submit your creations.  Click the logo below to head on over to the challenge blog site to see the rest of the Design Team's creations and to link up your own for the challenge.  You'll have a chance to win a great prize from our sponsor, Scrapbook Unique!

Get Sketchy and Get a Prize (From Me!)

Hello blogging friends! I am excited to share that I am sponsoring the Get Sketchy challenge this week! When Bree contacted me to ask if I would consider sponsoring I was so thrilled, and I am hoping you all will join in the fun for a chance to win one of my Creativity Kits! I put together a special Spring themed Creativity Kit especially for this challenge...want to see it?!

Would you like to win these goodies?! All you have to do is participate in the Get Sketchy Challenge this week. You can see all the details and the sketch over on the Get Sketchy blog HERE. Bree was kind enough to send me the sketch in advance so that I could play along. Here's my card using some of the same products from the kit.


I'll be giving this card to my mom for her birthday in May. I just love the colors and patterns in the Making Memories Flutter collection. I distressed some of the circles to add a little texture to the card.

And if you love that corrugated scalloped circle on my flower, I have some colorful and natural ones for sale in my shop! Click HERE to check them out.

I can't wait to see what you all come up with for the Get Sketchy challenge!

I'll be back tomorrow with my Etsy Inspired Challenge project and you know there's always a great prize to be won then too! :)
