It's SNEAK PEEK time

Hello fellow crafters!!  Stopping in to bring you a SNEAK PEEK!! of our next releases.
What do we have for you?  You may not be able to tell by this crazy picture.  But then that is the fun of it.  Some adorable winter images, a couple of sentiments and one stamp to warm you up when it is cold!
They will be mailed out to the design team the beginning of next week, so be on the lookout for cards with these fun new images in the coming weeks.

Coming soon:  New Hannah images.


Thanks for stopping by,
Michelle

Welcome our new Design Team!!

I think I am only one day behind schedule for a change!!
 I promised to announce the new design team on the 15th!
First, we will be saying goodbye to some very talented ladies at the end of this month, and I do want them to know how much they will be missed, and how much their work is appreciated. 
Amber, Sadia, Karen and Anne are leaving.  I have enjoyed having each one of them on this team and seeing their beautiful work.  I do want to say a special  goodbye to Anne.  Anne has been with me from the start of this challenge, and I am very sad to see her leave, but certainly understand. Two years of emails and getting to know each other, I certainly have found a new friend in Norway!
Thank you to everyone who applied.  I enjoyed looking at everyone's blog. And struggled to make the decision on who to add.
