Tiff not only created a beautiful card but she made an accompanying flower arrangement as well. I'm loving how she outlined the edges of the circles with the stickles.
Danni created two stunning treat holders with delicious candy to boot. I'm lovin' how she layered the butterflies and adhered them to the hearts.
Get inspired and happy crafting!

Guest Designer Jennifer Koss
1. Tell us a little about yourself.
I am a mom of 2 active boys and have been married to my supportive hubby for 13 years. Art has been a part of my life as long as I can remember. I have been paper crafting for about 12 years.
2. Where do you find your inspiration?
I find inspiration everywhere. Mostly my boys and from trends I see around me.
3. What is your favorite dessert?
mmmm....dessert. If I had to pick a favorite it would be Texas sheet cake.
4. If you could do anything without any consequences, what would it be?
This is a tough question. I think it would be fun to go on a shopping spree where I could buy anything without the consequence of spending the money.
5. Three words that best describe your personality.
Enthusiastic, Friendly, Dependable

We also asked Jenn to share her space with us. I just love being inspired by others crafty spaces.
