Curtain Call Crew Reveal - Take 1

We are proud to announce our newest Curtain Call Crew member!

 Amy Kolling

Blog: Stamp-n-Paradise

Hi everyone!  My name is Amy Kolling.  I am a full-time dialysis RN, wife, and mom.  We stay pretty busy with kids activites but I wouldn't change it for anything!  Cardmaking is my hobby and most often it's done after the kids are in bed for the night......yes, I'm a late night crafter most of the time!  When I received the invite from Stacey, the answer was an immediate YES!  I've been a fan of this challenge from the beginning and always wondered how I could join this group!  I am so excited to be joining the Curtain Call Challenge! 

We are thrilled that Amy is joining us on stage!  

Get ready for a new challenge and a new sponsor on January 15th!
