Leslie

My name is Leslie, I'm married with two grown children and one granddaughter, and I live in north Florida. I began scrapbooking about 40 years ago, way back when scrapbooks were really bland - before all the fun papers and embellishments came about. For the last 20 years or so, my paper passion has been card making. I started out making computer-generated cards, graduated to card kits, then quickly realized that having my own stash of stuff was the way to go! The rest is history, as they say! I'm addicted to rubber stamping and also enjoy making 3-D paper projects (especially paper shoes and mini albums), have been known to alter a few tins and boxes, and enjoy beading and making jewelry occasionally when I find time.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to guest design for Unicorn Challenge

Please link up your entries below. We are looking forward to seeing your projects.

Good Luck and Thank you for joining us.

Carla

I'm an art teacher originally from New York State and now retired, living in Florida. For many years I have experimented with several areas of creativity. Ever since I was a child, I have enjoyed sewing my own clothes and making designer outfits for my dolls. I love to pick out the little details that will make my clothing or vintage costumes and hand painted jeans look unique.
For several years my husband and I covered arts and entertainment as correspondents for a local newspaper. I enjoyed participating in special events such as the Menendez Birthday Festival, which took place in St. Augustine. For that event I dressed in a 16th century Spanish wardrobe of my own design. I’ve enjoyed the theater arts so much that eventually I tried out and won parts in four local productions including “Grease," “Oliver,” "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat” and “Cabaret." I worked as a scrapbook instructor and paper crafting teacher for a year at Michaels, where I learned many new techniques and used a lot of great new tools! I'm currently designing scrapbook pages (scrapping photos of my grandchildren is a great enjoyment), making cards and working on altered canvas and all kinds of boxes. My art work is for sale locally and has been published in a few magazine. I received an honorable mention to a piece I created using an image from Aurora Wings. For the latest stop on my journey, I take part in designing cards for challenges and belong to several design teams.

I love working with cute images and enjoy putting them in scenes. I generally don't use a lot of embellishments. My focus is on the main image. My go to medium has been colored pencils, but I just began working with Copic Markers and I am loving them. I do enjoy trying out new mediums and techniques. Lately I have been playing with gelatos. Life right now is full and busy designing and coloring lots of greeting cards.

Veronique

My name is Veronique I'm 36 years old and I live in The Netherlands with my husband, our 10 year old son and our dog named Odie.

I started crafting as a kid with my mom and my grandma. They teached me how to knitt and do embroidery. I started making Christmas cards with my mom. Later this evolved in making 3D cards.I stopped crafting when my son was born.But started again 5 years ago when my husband lost his job, just to releave some stress. I followed some courses and discoverd stamping and colouring..And I remembered again why I loved crafting so mutch!

My favorite mediums are.... I really can't pick one.. I love evrything with colouring and paper! But I use my pencils and markers a lot.I just started with copics and loving it!Other mediums I use are: panpastel, distress ink ,Inka gold watercolour markers etc...I'm what you might call a "crazy" colouring lady.

My style is clean and simple because I don't like it when an image is'nt the focus of the card.

Please link up your entries below. We are looking forward to seeing your projects.

Good Luck and Thank you for joining us.
