March Card Guest Designer

Today we have our March Guest Designer Karen!

 

Karen Aka" Soccerboyzmom"
I am also know as "Blingy"

I am a "Retired" Single-Mom of two grown boys turned into Incredible Men.  Also Mom to 2 adopted Beagles that adore me and tell me their needs.

I love Drinking Tea,Traveling, Reading, Cards, Scrapbooking,Friends, Winning, Gourmet Dinners, Chatting and an occasional DR. Pepper

I love crafting and to be card challenged. I finally decided to join in the blogging world to have some fun.

I have really grown from the experience, friendships I've created during my scrap and cardmaking adventures.

Bling I just adore it and addicted to it. If I can incorporate it into a project you can bet it will be there.

I make more cards than I do Scrap, however I do need to get those books done. So hopefully all the challenges and goals will get me there.

 

Come see me at my blog:  http://www.calmcreations.blogspot.com/

 

Karen created this wonderful Saint Patrick's Day card based of off yesterday's sketch. I love the hand stamped embellishment in the middle and how she tied a jute bow on the flowers.

 

Thanks so much Karen!

March Guest Layout Designer

Please join me in welcoming our March layout Guest Designer Jenessa!

 I first discovered scrapbooking in 1995, and I made my first album using construction paper and rubber cement...an absolute archival disaster! Fast forward to the present, and I've become quite passionate about this constantly evolving art form. Having always endeavored in arts & crafts such as drawing, painting and cross-stitching, scrapbooking has been such a natural progression for me. My husband has been incredibly supportive of my obsession hobby by allowing me to utilize half of our spacious family room as my own personal crafting area as well as hanging out with our kids when I need some creative therapy. Thanks so much for having me as a Guest Designer!

And check out Jenessa's wonderful layout! Once you look past those adorable photos, the layered papers are wonderful. I love the distressed edges to some of the pieces because it really adds dimension to the layout.

Thanks Jenessa!
