Happy First Saturday of the Month! I hope everyone is having a fun holiday weekend! We are laying low here, which is just fine with me! I would love to go see some fireworks, but they aren’t even starting until 9:30 and that’s just not do-able with our bed time routines this year.
Given that this is the first Saturday of the month, I get to introduce the new DESIGNER OF THE MONTH…YAY!! Drumroll for the super talented…SANDRA MacLEAN!
Here’s a little bit about Sandra in her own words…
Hi, my name is Sandra MacLean and I’m sooooo excited to be this month’s guest designer!! By day I work for a huge grocery distributor as a CAD technician, and when I get home I’m mum to a spunky 5 year old little girl and wife to my very understanding man. I am a New Zealand born, Australian raised, citizen of the USA! My husband and I actually met in a VW restoration website and we’v'e been married for almost 10 years! Three years ago, I didn’t have any interest in stamping until a friend suggested I check out SCS. That’s when I discovered a whole side of stamping I had never seen before and I was hooked! I have always been able to color, but the card making process is still new to me. Every stamping session is a battle on which paper to choose and what layout will work the best (that’s why I’m always using Jen’s sketches for my cards - it’s one less decision to make!)The day I can make a card in under 3 hours will be a day to celebrate! LOL
Here’s this week’s sketch…
Four years ago today, I was at my neighborhood Albertson’s as pregnant as they come. Some guy in the parking lot walks by and says, “Man, you are HUGE!” Even though he was right, he was so lucky I could not run after him! A few days later, on my dad’s birthday {July 7} I was admitted to Labor & Delivery. Ellie ended up being born the next day, because she wasn’t about to have to share her birthday apparently! I’ll show you her birthday card next week, but for today I am going to share my dad’s birthday card, using MFT’s, Grow Love Plant a Tree set {which is one of my fave paper piecing sets!!}…
My Favorite Things will be releasing a bunch {and I mean whole lot!} of new stamps this Wednesday. Sneak peeks have started and starting on Monday you will be seeing a few peeks from me, too.
Here’s Sandra’s sample {I envy her coloring skills!}…
