Hi there!  It's an honor to be guest designer for Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge!  I'm Maria Patrick from NW Ohio.  I'm a retired nurse married to my high school sweetheart and have a son named Jeremy.  We have a German Shepherd named, Shadow.  He keeps me company and tells me when the UPS man brings more crafty happy mail!:-)  I've always enjoyed crafts, sewing, crocheting and painting.  I started scrapbooking in 2000 and started card making in 2006.  My card making has opened up a whole new world to me with meeting new friends and participating in challenges.  I am currently designing for two design teams, which are Paper Sweeties and Dies R Us.  Take care and happy crafting!:-)

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

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!
