Guest Designing for UNIKO!

 Hello, my lovelies!

I'm tickled pink to have whooshed through the week so I could come to you today as Guest Designer for Uniko Challenge #24!

A lot of you are familiar with the lovely Beverley Brown, owner, operator, and stamp designer of Uniko, and card artist extraordinaire! Oh, and we mustn't forget she's also the mother of twin boys who are now up and walking and giving Bev a workout every minute they are awake! As a grandmother of twin boys, I know what my DDIL went through with her active toddlers, so Bev has my utmost respect!

I was honored when Bev asked me to guest design for this SUMMER challenge which will run from today through September 4th. For an extra twist, here is a beautiful summer inspiration photo for you:

And here is my card:

I used a pink watering can cut using the Memory Box die, "Garden Watering Can." The small flower is from my miscellaneous small flower stamps and the NBUS leaves are from Uniko's set, "Nature's Treasures I." The flowers and leaves were colored with my SU markers. They were then winked and dotted. The NBUS sediment is from Uniko's set, "Simply Said Birthday." Both card panels were embossed with the Lil' Inker stitched rectangle dies. 

There are also prizes to be won for those who join in! For details, please pop over to the Uniko Challenge. You'll also see what my fellow Guest Designer Wiebke and the uber-talented Design Team have created to inspire you! Summer is ending way too soon, so let's keep it alive for the next two weeks! I can't wait to see your wonderful works of art!

New Friend Corner

I am so pleased to welcome a new friend today! Her name is Barb Williams and her blog is Barb's Faraway Crafts. Barb is fairly new to Blogland, having just started her delightful blog in February of this year! Barb lives in Northants and you'll notice on her side bar that she and I share a love for little tiny craft houses! Barb has been crafty since she was a child in one form or another. She started making cards seven years ago and really enjoys stamping. I love her fabulous card designs and I think you will, too! It would be a treat if you could take a minute to visit Barb, follow her, and welcome her to our kind and supportive community!

Thank you for joining, Barb, and welcome to the Playhouse!
