Greetings from Calgary AB Canada! I am really excited to be a guest designer with ABC challenges.  I am a happily married WAHM and we have a lovely 3 yr old named Riley who is my inspiration.  We also have 2 pound puppies Pickles (pug) and Tonka (bijon). 

I have been scrapping for about 8 years now.  I started first with Scrapbooking, then on to cards and now I have joined the SMASHbook bandwagon and having such a great time creating in a variety of mediums.  I don't have any particular style unless eclectic is one.  I tend to create depending on my mood or the products that I work with.  Some of my faves are 6x6 paper packs, lots of ribbon, my spellbinders and bling.  There is always so many embellishments to choose from out there, it's hard to narrow it down. :)  I love surfing the internet and blogs looking for inspiration. 

Besides crafting I also enjoy traveling, country music and have a serious Diet Coke addiction.  I hope you will stop by my blog http://tampatha.wordpress.com and say hello.  Don't forget to leave a link to your blog so I can visit you as well.

Thank you so much, Tammy!  Remember, there's still time to play along, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!

My name is, Kendra, I live in Northeast, WI with my high school sweetheart! We have two adorable little kids! (4yrs and soon to be 3yr old) I’m a SAHM in winter and work landscaping in summer. I have a passion for flowers!! As well as crafting! I started scrapping 12 years ago as both my husband and I raced at a local race track and I wanted to keep track of our wins and photos.  From that it grew into a HUGE obsession!  I started scrapping everything and then just over four years ago got into making all my own cards!  Any spare time I get I love to be in my room creating either by myself or with my kids, who just love to help me (not sure that I am as productive then, but it’s a lot of fun!!)! 

Thank you so much, Kendra!  Remember, there's still time to play along, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.  To enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!

Nancy

Hello! I'm Nancy, my blog is The Trinket Collector. I live in Eastern Pennsylvania with my husband and our three sons.  I started paper crafting about three years ago after being inspired by all the beautiful handmade cards I saw on Etsy. Since then I've become addicted to collecting rubber stamps (along with designer papers, embellishments, etc) ~ my favorites are

little vintage images, rabbits, and advertisements. 

Thank you so much, Nancy!  Remember, there's still time to play along, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.

Deanne

 

Hi! Some of you may know me as Three Trees, but my friends and family just call me Deanne.  I have been paper crafting ever since I can remember.  I made my first scrapbook when I was five and haven’t stopped since.  Even cardboard boxes weren’t safe from my scissors – I had many cardboard desks and organizational units. 

I live right smack-dab in the middle of Canada, so I have to keep warm and cozy indoors which is perfect for card making!  My husband is my cheerleader and Pixie, our newest chihuahua, is my craft room buddy.  We also own an elderly chihuahua and two older cats.  What can I say, I LOVE animals and crafting – life is good!!!

Thank you so much, Deanne!  Remember, there's still time to play along, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST.
