Introducing Kat!

Welcome to Tuesday with out introduction to another new team member - Kat!

My name is Kat Roberts and I live in Northern California and grew up in the midwest. I have been crafting since I was 9 years and started 4-H. I work full time and am married to my husband, Scott. We are expecting our first baby, a girl!, on August 30th!


Congrats Kat to you and Scott and can't wait to see some baby pictures too!

Here is some inspiration for you from Kat for your July challenge since anything goes!

We're looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful cards Kat!

Introducing Pat!

We're going to start introducing the new design team with Pat who's actually returning to us from a little hiatus on the team!  Welcome back Pat!

My name is Pat Sergeant and I am the mother of 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl). I have 2 grandaughters that are the joy of my world. I have been stamping since 2005 and as they say...the rest is history. I have always had an interest in one craft or another since I was very small. If there is a craft out there, I have most likely tried it. I am delighted to be a part of the CCAYR design team again (this is my second go around).

Here is some inspiration for you from Pat for your July challenge since anything goes!

Can't wait to see more of your gorgeous cards Pat!

You can check out more on her blog HERE!

Stay tuned for more designers and inspiration every day this week! 

Cheers,

Colleen and Lesley

July Challenge - Slight Delay

Hi Everyone!

My name is Colleen and I've been on the DT here for the last 6 months.  Lesley and I would just like to let you know that we'll be keeping things up and running here while Deanne takes a little bit of well deserved time for herself. 

As a result of the slight change in plans, we've had a bit of delay with the July Challenge and the new Design Team.  We're very excited about the design team announcement and what's coming this month!  We also can't wait to show you some more fabulous inspiration for your Christmas cards that are going to be needed before you know it!  We're only 177 days away from the big day now and cards need to be out long before that!

We're hoping to have an announcement at the beginning of the week, so check back soon!
Cheers,
