Guest Designer - Krafty Chicks Challenges #445 - Babies

Hello friends and followers - I'm happy you're here to visit me!

I'm delighted to be a Guest Designer for this month over 

at Krafty Chicks Challenges.  Thanks Chicks for having me!

The theme for the first challenge of the month

for Challenge #445  is....BABIES.

Now I'm wayyyy past the having baby stage but fortunately

I have some younger friends and coworkers who are

having little bundles of joy soon.  I'm so excited for 

them!  I love to make baby cards and I love squeezing 

babies even more! Maybe they'll let me hold their 

sweet little ones while the open their cards - lol!

Here's my card to share with you.  It's a little bit non-traditional

for a baby card but I think it's fun - and perfect for a baby boy!

The mama is actually a friend of a friend, so I don't have to 

worry about her seeing it before it's given to her. 

The stamp set is called Wild World by Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps,

the papers are from my stash (finally found a great way to use them).

I colored with copic markers and filled in the nooks and wrinkles

of the skin with prisma color pencils.  Isn't this rhino adorable?!

In addition to participating as a guest designer, I'm also

entering this card in the following challenges:

Crafty Animals Challenges #24 - Anything Goes w/an animal

Addicted to Stamps and More! Challenge #331 Anything Goes

As You Like It Challenges - Layers: One or Many

(and tell them why). 

I LOVE layers! The more the better as far as I'm concerned! 

I really struggle with one layer cards - layers just seem to 

add so much interest (in my opinion) and make me feel happy.

I've been trying to do more CAS cards because I do love 

the look of them but I really struggle with them.  Honestly, 

the fewer the layers the longer it takes me to put a card 

together - LOL.

Thanks for stopping in to visit me!  Pop on over to the 

Krafty Chicks Challenge blog and take a peek at the

DT creations for your inspiration this week!  Hugs! D
