This can be any type of craft...cards, scrapbook pages, altered items, a sewing project, handmade gifts...if you made it and it fits our theme then come let us see what you have created!

Our sponsor this month is the amazing:

ART BY MIRAN


Here is a little information about our amazing sponsor...
"Hello I am Mi Ran artist and owner of Artbymiran, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories. I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.
I have worked on a variety of publications, ranging from children's to contemporary adult genres. I have contributed as an artist and colorist. I also worked as a graphic artist and layout designer for non-comic publications. For several years I was able to share my passion through teaching art to elementary school aged children. These experiences have influenced my recent artwork.
I am excited to have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters.
I love to share my art. I love thinking of new images, and it’s so fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art."
 The prize is 3 Digi Stamps of your choice!!

Here is some inspiration from the Design Team using images generously supplied to us by Art by Miran. Just click on the names of the images above the creations to find them in store
