We have a new sponsor, Penny Black, for the Curtain Call Inspiration: Bouquet!  A randomly selected participant in the Bouquet challenge will have their choice of a Penny Black gift certificate, while the LEAD will be invited as a Guest Designer in a future challenge!

Please join us in welcoming our newest Guest Designer,
Marcie Sharp, Sharp Designs.


Hi everyone! I'm Marcie Sharp and I'm a happily married momma of two kids lovin' life in rural southwestern Ontario, Canada. I enjoy every minute I get to spend in my small crafting corner making cards, and am usually busy trying to keep my 6 year old daughter from 'borrowing' my stamps.  Currently I work with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and occasionally guest design. Clean and simple designs are what I tend to stick to but lately I'm having fun experimenting with all sorts of techniques and branching out of my comfort zone.  If I’m not cardmaking then I am reading, geocaching with my family, having dance parties and taking any opportunity I can to visit with my friends!   



Next up, is the ever-fabulous Curtain Call Crew with their amazing projects!

This week we are inviting you to join us for...

pinterest

The LEAD of this challenge will be invited to be a guest designer in an upcoming challenge!

Please welcome our returning Guest Designer,
Melody Rupple, A Paper Melody.


My name is Melody Rupple. I have always been crafty. I learned to sew when I was in my teens, made proms dresses, and went on to sew for my girls. I still have the simple scrapbooks I made in high school. I started making family scrapbooks when my children were young. I discovered card making about seven years, opening a whole new world of blogging, challenges, and on-line shopping!

I have been lucky enough to have the opportunity to design for a number of wonderful stamp companies. I enjoy guest designing and playing along with card making and scrapbook challenges.





Next up, is the ever-fabulous Curtain Call Crew with their amazing projects!
