Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop with PRIZES

With Love
Hello  Friends, How are you today? I want to welcome you today to “Young Crafters Unite” blog hop!  Two young gals, Britta & Marie have teamed up to join together all of the young crafters in the blogging world. I am not a spring chicken but, I can participate because I am young in theory. To start at the beginning of the blog hop & find out about all of the prizes I recommend that you go directly to “Young Crafters Unite” here.  If you are arriving from Tanya’s blog you are in the right place.

With Love
If you are wondering what makes me a “young crafter” I am happy to share that with you. I feel that my love of coloring is what keeps me young and takes me back to the days when I was little!! When I was about seven I remember entering a coloring contest and I still remember the disappointment of rejection…or rather not winning :). I still love the smell of a box of Crayola crayons and I’m happy that 40 years later I finally feel fulfilled in a creative way. I am so lucky to have this forum to share my passion with you.

With Love

We encourage comments  throughout the blog hop because randomly selected commenters will have the opportunity to win a $20 from Simon Says Stamp (1), their choice of stamp set from Paper Smooches (2) or their choice of stamp set from Lawn Fawn (3) The Hop starts at 12 NOON. 

With Love

I used lots of yummy Penny Black stamps on this and great SRM stickers. Unfortunately, I have to post the supplies later. Sorry if this causes any inconvenience but, I have to finish getting ready for my sisters wedding.
The next blog to hop to is Natasha’s blog here. Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for stopping. Hugs, Kathy

P.S. When I get home from vacation I will share with you my Copic marker storage since a few of you asked and an option for storage too. My twin sister is getting married today and I can’t wait to share the flower tree we made yesterday with white paper and Spellbinders. Have a happy weekend 🙂

    Hi Kathy,

    First, Congratulations to your twin sister and wishing her every happiness on her Wedding day and for a full and happy marriage! I hope that you will share pictures!

    Your card is beautiful and the coloring is perfect! You made me smile when you mentioned the smell of crayons…I also love that smell. So often you mention things that I can relate to and maybe Im a long lost triplet..LOL

    I hope you have a fabulous time at the wedding and I will look forward to your return to learn about the Copic storage.

    *Hugs*

    Ooooo what a beauty, Kathy! I love the contrast of color against neutral – just stunning! I feel the same way about crayons…and paper…and markers…LOL!

    Congrats to your sister on her upcoming wedding! Can’t wait to see the flower tree! I am sure it will be AMAZING. 🙂

    Congrats to your sister!! What a lovely thing a wedding is!

    I wouldn’t change a thing about your studio, except to import all the goodies to mine! 🙂 Of course, I’d need your talent!

    Congratulaions to your sister. Your colouring of this little titmouse is wonderful & I love the dimension you created with those layers & the embossing.
    I’m thrilled you will be showing the Copics storage so look forward to seeing that. – & your wedding decorations.

    what a Beautiful Beautiful Coloring!!! absolutely beautiful card inside & out!! Congratulations on your twin sister’s marriage!!

  36. Aditya Gupta says

    Your coloring is really great. I am wondering why you missed to win when you were 7. Now if you participate in any coloring challenge then I bet you will be the winner.

  43. Christiana says

    Wow, Kathy! Your work is always incredible, but you’ve really outdone yourself here. Beautiful just doesn’t begin to describe this card! It’s a rare work of art! I can’t tell if you’ve put the center piece on a transparency or if it’s a cut out, but it gives the card such a sense of depth.

    Heartfelt best wishes to your sister and her groom!

    I’m off to have another look at your card!

  44. Chari M. says

    Oh my how I love coloring. But you are so much better! This card is beautifully colored, I am in awe! Congrats to your sister. I just got married a few months ago (three months today to be exact) so I know fresh in my mind just how special this day will be for her. Have fun!

  45. donna mikasa says

    Hey, Ms. Marker! I have no more words whenever I see your cards….you leave me speechless! Congrats to your twin! I’m sure she was a beautiful bride!

  54. Renee VanEpps says

    Oh wow is this stunning or what??!! I would also like to know if it was stamped onto transparency? Maybe that is what gives it that special something I just can’t put my finger on!!!!
    ~Drooling over your coloring~
    Renee!

    You never cease to amaze my friend. You layering is just amazing, anad the embossing just gives this so much texture but the coloured image is just gorgeous. I hope you don’t get bored with me always repeating myself it seems. But I can’t help it, your work blows me away each time I see it and I find myself stuck for words to describe it. Then I find myself saying the same thing I did before. I guess I have to come up with some better descriptions to explain what I see when viewing your work. LOl. Hugs.

  60. Larissa Heskett says

    WOW!! I LOVE this card!! You are a VERY TALENTED CRAFTER!! I not only LOVE the stamps that you used, but also the color combo that you decided to use!! Just AWESOME!! THANKS FOR SHARING AND HAVE A FABULOUS WEEKEND!! =)
    P.S. I am a NEW FOLLOWER!! =)

  68. Britta Swiderski says

    I know you well enough to know that you may just be younger than I am. 😉 I just love what you can do with spellbinders. Happy wedding to your twin sister! I hope she has a magnificent day and I can’t wait to see what you helped out with for the big day. You rock, my dear! Thank you for joining us at the Young Crafters Unite blog hop!
