Today I am also excited to be the Featured Designer over at Merry Monday! I am joining them for the entire month of December! I have missed designing with these ladies each week! The Challenge at Merry Monday is BIRDS on your Christmas card! I LOVED this challenge and could not wait to play along!!!
For my card I used some of my favourite crafty supplies! I used my Darice Embossing Folder (snowflakes), some Lawn Fawn Paper, a Memory Box bird die and a pretty sentiment from Verve.
This month we are thrilled to have Kristie Goulet as our Featured Designer at The Challenge! Welcome, Kristie! I asked Kristie to share a bit about herself...
Hi, my name is Kristie Goulet and I live in Northern, NH with my husband of 18 years and 4 amazing children. I am a SAHM who loves to create after our homeschooling day is finished. I love making cards to send to family and friends. I started my blog Kreative Kristie and am amazed at the amazing bond that card makers have and the friendships I have made. I'm super excited to be guest designing with these very talented ladies and sharing my style with you.
We are also thrilled to welcome, Kim Heggins to the team! She is joining us as a Designer! Welcome, Kim!
Hello...my name is Kim. I am married and have one daughter, we live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I love Mickey Mouse, I Love Lucy and being creative. I have been stamping since 1992 and my first project was making birth announcements for my daughter. In addition to card making I love to sew, quilt, scrapbook, cross-stitch and bake. I am blessed to have a craft room to spread out in and watch black and white reruns.
The design team has created some samples to get you into the crafting mood! Come and join the fun! A special welcome to Betty Wright, for being our Guest for this Challenge!
