Michelle Bala, A Passion for Crafting

Hello there! It's me, Michelle! I am so happy to be guest designing with the Curtain Call!!! Thank you, Stacey!

    I live in New York with my great hubby and three sweet children  who understands that sometimes I just need to create!!! Card making is my thing but sometimes I dabble in home decor. CAS is my favorite style because I love the white space but every now and than a girl needs to get crazy and cover every inch of the card! I love to play along with challenges and the newest trends. Thanks for getting to know me a bit. 

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