Die Cuttin' Divas Favorite Color Challenge

Did you like to color when you were a child? Do you still like to color?

March 31st is national crayon day.

When I was a child I used to love to color, and when I got the big box of 64 crayons I thought I'd died and went to heaven. I hate to admit this, but I used to like my Barbie color books the best. I loved putting eye shadow, lipstick and blush on them with my color crayons.

Do you have a favorite color? Has it always been the same or has it changed since you were young?

Mine has always been, and will always be, red. Love it!

We are celebrating national crayon day with our challenge this week.

Our challenge over at Die Cuttin' Divas this week is favorite color!

.

I created a card for this weeks challenge using my favorite color red.

For my card I used stamps and dies by Simon Says Stamp and papers by Echo Park.

Here is what the card looks like when it is open.

Supplies used: card stock - white, red; stamps and dies by Simon Says Stamp; Stitched circle dies from Simon Says Stamp; brad from my stash, coffee bean enamel stickers from Doodlebug.

I would like to announce the winner of last weeks RAK surprise gift picked by Random.org:
