I attempted to use bold colors on her birthday card - but other than that, this card is much more "me" than it is Tenia.

Happy Birthday to Tenia!!
I mentioned last week that when I send a card to another cardmaker, I like to try to honor their style (within my own limits) - but there is no way I can compare to today's birthday girl - Tenia Nelson at Jazzy Paper Designs. Tenia has flair and a style that I marvel at. She uses bold colors and big images with pops of washi and stitching and splatters. In my restrained crafting world - none of it should work - but each card is unique and absolutely wonderful! She's had a full feature in Take Ten magazine and she is on multiple design teams. I have the privilege of working with her at Curtain Call.

Tenia has a very full life (other than making cards!) She has a charming family with just about the cutest son that I have ever seen! She teaches/coaches the drum line at a high school. And she is a phenomenal jazz musician - both performing and composing. I have had the thrill of seeing her live a few times, and I've listened to her being interviewed on the radio. (Plus I have crafted and done some crafting shopping with her - so I've even met her personally!) She's my famous friend!!!
Happy Birthday Tenia - hope it's a great one!!
SUPPLY LIST
The stamp set is from the current Stampin' Up Sale-a-Bration catalog but I can't seem to link it - it's called Big Day.

ReplyDeleteKim, a thousand and one apologies for falling 24 days (yikes!) behind in commenting! Your cards have received plenty of gazing and admiring, but time to add words to the happy sighs! Your card for Tenia: gorgeous! You've captured her colourful, sweet personality beautifully, in both your card and your words.
