I was super lucky to work with the Forest Friends set.  Luckily for me, I love the outdoors so this was a perfect set for me =) 

I created 3 projects for the new release, so I hope you will enjoy them as much as I did creating them.  

Up first is this adorable box style card, that will fold flat for mailing.

A wooded scene with the cuties was a must!  I colored this cutie with my Prismacolor pencils.  That sentiment is so perfect for this set 💚

My second project is a couple pages in my travelers journal, which is more like a book of my life and those important times.  These two pages will feature pictures of me and my husband when we first met...many years ago (almost 23!!)

I scanned the deer to create a mirrored image so I'd have two deer representing us.  I split the sentiment so it would fit across both pages.  These were colored with Zig Clean Color Real Watercolor markers.

My last project is one that I truly had a blast making.  It's quite outside the box, but I love a good challenge lol.

Who would ever think to take your stamped image and do a little wood burning on a scrap piece of wood?  I used the scanned image of the deer from my journal pages and enlarged it to 5" tall.  I then added the sentiment from this awesome set cut in vinyl to finish my sign, which is hanging in my kitchen.

Here's a close up of one of the deer

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my projects.  I hope you  have enjoyed seeing this amazing set and feel inspired.

Your next stop will be the talented Waleska at Crafting Love.
