A Design Team Announcement!

 Hi everyone!

We have some news regarding our design team to share with you today:

At the end of this year, we are saying good-bye to some wonderful design team members and hello to a new one!

 

Sadly, three of our DT members will be leaving at the end of this year:

Ashley Johnson

Kristina Wurmbrand:

Lauren Mullarkey

  We love the amazing projects that Ashley, Kristina, and Lauren contributed to our design team over the years.  Their work is incredible.

We'll miss them and we wish them all of the best! ❤

 

  And we are excited to say hello to a new design team member in January!

 
Please welcome Monique Fox:

Here's a little bit about Monique:

I am a 54yo single mother of a 20yo handsome college student name Christian and 2 fur babies name Cookie and Princess Cutie.  

I am a paper crafter who loves to make scrapbook layouts, cards, paper purses, loaded envelopes, loaded hoops, tags, tag flips, pocketletters, etc.  

I am a paper crafter who loves to be on design teams and inspiring others.  I love meeting people and making new friends.  

I am a published crafter.  I have been published in Creative Scrapbooker Magazine and PaperCrafter Magazine. 

I am a published poet.  I have been published in black magazines, a Christian newspaper, lots of poetry anthologies, and on websites.  I have even won awards. 

Monique would like to share a poem:

On August 26 nineteen sixty nine
a beautiful brown baby was born
she was given poetry and craft talents
by God The Almighty
the best creator of all time
she is carrying on the legacy of greats
with the Wise and Fox bloodline
Shine queen shine
