Meet Jackie

Hello, today I would love for you to meet another  very special gal  Jackie Randolph 





 Hi, I currently live in Northern Kentucky with my husband of many years and our 14 year old grandson Hunter. I am a mom to four amazing children and a grandma to 6 beautiful grandsons and 2 grand-daughters. I´ve been crafting for as long as I can remember, dabbing in almost everything I could. I started with scrapbooking 18 years ago, then my oldest daughter shared the joy of stamping with a Stamping party and that was when I found my love of making cards. About 5 years ago, I enter the world of digital images and truly love the versatility they allow to be so creative with. I love altering different things, creating mini albums and creating one-of-a-kind gifts.  I have met so many incredible & wonderful ladies through the blogging & stamping world, I am having the time of my life!!!



Jackie will be filling the position as Design Team Coordinator

                                       Here are two cards Jackie is sharing today 


                                              Her first card shares Princess of Snowflake 




Next she shares Big Eye Girl

Meet Judy

Hello, today I would love for you to meet another  very special gal Judy Corner




For many years I made cross stitched cards and small projects (one nighters) until late 2007 when I gingerly transferred to card making. It was sometime before stamping took hold, but once it did WOW there was no stopping me. I just loved it!  I had silently followed the blogs avidly but only plucked up the courage to form my own blog in February 2011! It was so scary hitting "publish" for the first time but now I wonder why I did not do this before. I feel I have come such a long way, am now on several Design Teams, and also am enjoying doing commission for Papercraft Essential magazine, the first of which was Publish in February 2013. It is a great hobby, and one that is definitely a pleasure to share. Do feel free to stop by my blog. 


Judy is sharing a gorgeous creation using Princess

MERRY CHRISTMAS

{MERRY CHRISTMAS}

Good morning, its Desire here and I wish all our wonderful Followers and Visitors a Merry Christmas and   may this day have a very special meaning to you and your loved ones.

In the spirit of the season I have been playing with this gorgeous Christmas Elf created by our talented Mi Ran. Do yourself a favour and hop over to Mi Ran's Etsy shop and check out her awesome digi creations, here.  You can purchase this cute Christmas Elf here.

I coloured him with Copics.  The holly embellishments were created by cropping one of the hollies in the main image, in Photoshop, and printing it a few times.  The design papers are from BoBunny. The sentiments are freebies from Paulette {Create with TLC} and have been coloured with dry chalks.


Also hop over to my blog {Doing Life} as I have a wonderful Give Away, celebrating 130,000 page views.  Art by Miran has been so generous in sponsoring the wonderful prizes up for grabs.

We would love for you to become a follower of our blog, along with visiting our shop to see all the wonderful images artbymiran has to offer!

Thanks so much for stopping by and we hope you have a Wonderful Christmas day!

I am a former Administrative Assistant turned stay-at-home mom to a very special  young lady. I've been crafting since I was a young child, and when I became a "SAHM" turned to crafting to stay busy. Staying busy making cards, altering items, and just having fun with paper is an amazing hobby I truly fell in love with. I'm very grateful that I have a husband that supports me, that my son loves seeing my creations as well and my special young lady enjoys getting into my crafts. I truly love the challenge of making something beautiful with the various products available in the crafting industry.

Hello, today I would love for you to meet another  very special gal to me Angelique!

I am Angelique from the Netherlands and extremely excited to be part of this team. I’ve been crafting since I got pregnant of my oldest (he's 24 by now) but mostly knitting, cross stitching, these kinda things. After a couple of years, I had a go at card making with those 3d images, gosh, the amount of cutting I've done over the years, phew.Had lots of years off, double jobs etc. so no time for crafting, just a card here and there, nothing fancy.However, totally got addicted again since last year November 2012.Now a year later, I've made myself a pc/craft room, everyone knows, thats MY DOMAIN, do not enter without permission!I am proud sponsor-coordinator for Scrapper's Delights, run Creative Fingers challenge blog and am part of the amazing Milk Coffee showcase team.Looking forward to work with Mi Ran and all my very talented teamies.

Meet Susan Kennedy

Hello, today I would love for you to meet a very special gal  Susan Kennedy!


A little about me...  I live in the state of Georgia in the good ole' south where they call us all Georgia Peaches! LOL  I am the wife to a wonderful man, Kevin, who is from Australia. He is very tolerant of my crafting!! And he is always complimenting me on everything. I make. LOL  He is a bit biased I think!!  I met him online years ago. We grew very close... he came to the USA in 2012 for the final time :)  It is a long process, but he is totally worth it!! I am a mother of three, Taylor (19), Michael (15) and Bailey (12). We definitely have our trials and tribulations, but I love them all dearly and wouldn't trade being a mother for the world. Taylor is out of the house doing her own thing. I just wish she would check in more often so that I know she is alright. Michael is in his first year of High School where he has found Drama and really loves it! It is really amazing the transformation he made once he found his little niche in school. We do still struggle with the grades though. Bailey is in middle school, 7th grade where she is doing well in her academics and I think her goal is to be involved in every club in the school!!!  :o  She definitely keeps us going!! We have two dogs, T-Bone and Brisket and two cats Highlight and White-Out. Do you see our theme? LOL  The dogs are named after cuts of beef LOL and the cats are office supplies LOL!!! I know.. we are very goofy!!
I have been crafting since the dawn of ages .. Okay.. maybe that is a little bit of an exaggeration, but I first found a small scrapbooking store right after I had Taylor.. so that is 19 years ago!!! During a bad marriage my crafting fell off. When Kevin and I got together I pulled all of the crafting supplies out of the garage to see if I could have a go at it again. Wow!!  I missed it so much. But then I found blogs!! And cards!!! And challenges!!! LOL  A whole new world opened up for me!!  I couldn't believe it all existed and I didn't know anything about it. My very first blog post was May 31st, 2012. And I haven't turned back since. Once I got crafting again I thought I would try out for a Design Team. Tammy at Tammy's Scrapin Corner was the first one to give me a chance. It really boosted my confidence and I learned so much everyone and had such a great time!! After a little while I was lucky enough to add One Stitch At A Time and Meljens Designs to my Design Team resume.
I have met so many wonderful people in the crafting community and I am always looking forward to meeting new crafters!!  Thanks everyone!! And I can you tell? LOL  I find it REALLY easy to ramble about everyone else ;)


Susan will be coordinating all of our sponsorship, so if you would love to have artbymiran be a sponsor to your challenge blog,  or a special blog event you may contact her by sending an email to Susan at icepanthress@gmail.com

Here are two beautiful cards Susan created

Welcome to Artbymiran




Hello 


Miran here to say hi and to welcome you to my new blog where I will share my artbymiran images, special discounts, contest and wonderful creations designed by my design team.


I am the artist and owner of Artbymiran, I was born in Seoul, South Korea. I grew up with Korean and Japanese Manga. In my childhood, I loved drawing and making my own little stories.

 I moved to Canada in my late 20s, where I reside with my husband.

I have worked on a variety of publications, ranging from children's to contemporary adult genres. I have contributed as an artist and colorist. I also worked as a graphic artist and layout designer for non-comic publications. For several years I was able to share my passion through teaching art to elementary school aged children. These experiences have influenced my recent artwork.


I am excited to share my art with this wonderful community of digi stampers and crafters.

I love to share my art. I love thinking of new images, and it’s so fabulous to see others take them and make them into beautiful works of art.

I would love to invite you to become a follower of my blog, I plan for many fabulous things to share with everyone here. Our grand opening will be on January 1st 2014, and I am sure you will not want to miss any of the exciting things to come!

During the next two weeks, I will be sharing a Special for all of my blog followers, introducing some wonderful ladies who will be joining me along this new journey and I would love to get to know you my followers as well!

As a special thank you for becoming a follower or visiting my Facebook page I am offering a  Special discount on all of my images
