The winner is…

Here’s a little about Ashley in her own words…
I’m a stay at home mom of two little guys (Brady who is 3 and Parker who is 1) and I’ve been married for 5 years. My husband and I met when I was 16. My family is the most important thing to me but crafting is a very close second. I love make things as an outlet for my creative energy. I’ve dabbled in painting, cross stitch, scrap booking, jewelry making, and countless other crafts. I’ve been stamping for about 3.5 years now and it’s an absolute passion of mine. I also love that it connects me to this wonderful world of crafters who have become a second family to me.

Here’s this week’s sketch…

Here’s my sample using the new My Favorite Things set, How Does Your Garden Grow?, along with a brand new MFT die, Flower Trio & Leaf Trio {which is a MUST HAVE!}…
