Merry Monday #86 {Use the Chalkboard Technique}

So much to share this week at Merry Monday! First of all, a special thank you to November's Featured Designer, Linda Callahan!!! Whew that month FLEW by! Today is December 2nd and I am pleased to welcome our December Featured Designer, Darnell Knauss! I asked Darnell to share a little about herself...she is a riot!

Darnell Knauss

My name is Darnell Knauss.  (You pronounce the K and it rhymes with house. During the Christmas season, I don't mind if you make it rhyme with moose.)  I was always a prolific card-giver, stalking card aisles, until I attended a SU! workshop in 2002, which turned me into a prolific card-maker.  I started djkardkreations in 2012 when I moved from the dismal garage to my backyard Playhouse.  Online challenges have brought me immense pleasure and a world-wide community of supportive and talented friends.  Enjoy!

Thank you, Lesley, for the huge honor of 

being your Guest Designer for the month of December! 

Thank you, Darnell!!! I am so excited you will be joining us!!! AND I have another fabulous announcement to make. Kristie Goulet is joining the Merry Monday team!!! She is starting with us this week...she has played along with us throughout the year and I am so pleased she has agreed to join us. I asked her to share a bit about herself too! Welcome, Kristie!!!

 

Kristie Goulet

Hi, my name is Kristie Goulet and I live in Groveton, NH.  I have been blessed with 4 amazing children, Noah, Hannah, Leah & Jonah.  I am married to my high school sweetheart, Todd.  I love creating cards, especially Christmas cards, when I am not busy homeschooling our children.  I started my blog Kreative Kristie and am amazed at the amazing bond that card makers have and the friendships I have made.

I am beyond excited to become one of Lesley's Merry Monday girls and look forward to creating alongside this very talented design team.

Our challenge this week is to use 

the chalkboard technique on your Christmas card!
