Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop

Hi there! Welcome to Young Crafters Unite Blog Hop! And welcome to my blog!

If you have been hoppin' with us today, you should have arrived here from Bunny Vance's blog.

The theme of this blog hop is not just about sharing some of our favorite things with you, but also that we are young crafters - not necessarily in age, but truly young at heart. For me, my favorite things in the world of paper and ink go hand in hand with being young at heart!

I am in LOVE with adorable images that are humorous and whimsical. Sometimes certain images reflect a fond memory of mine as a child or they are just so darn cute that I MUST add them to my stash and use them to create something special! Some of my favorites include Mo Manning's amazing digital art, adorable Paper Smooches stamps and super cute Lawn Fawn stamps. I also love coloring with Copics and paper piecing.

Now let's get to the good stuff! I hope you enjoy the cards I created using some of my favorite things!
(In case you want to know what stuff I used, my supply list will be at the very end of this post.) 

My "Wish Big" Card (using Mo Manning's Cotton Candy digi): 

Isn't she just the CUTEST?! Of course, I had to use my Copics to color this cutie. She reminded me of ME as a little girl in ponytails loving the ginormous cotton candy at the County Fair! I didn't want to share with anyone and I would eat the stuff until I felt sick LOL! The bright colors just make me happy! The layers are popped up with 3D dots for dimension.


My "Veg Out" Card (using Paper Smooches & Lawn Fawn stamps):

Another favorite of mine is paper piecing AKA fussy cutting! I love to mix up different prints to create texture and use bright colors that are eye catching. Since these veggies are out in the sun - I just had to give them some sunglasses! The cloud and sun are popped up with 3D dots for dimension.

That's all for me! Your next stop on the hop will be Jan Hunnicutt's blog.
Don't forget to leave comments at all of the blogs (including mine) along the hop - randomly selected hoppers will have the opportunity to win some goodies! Who doesn't like prizes? :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for stopping by today! Have a festive and safe holiday weekend!
