Happy Saturday and welcome to the weekend! Gotta love the summertime with the wonderful longer days, BBQ and ice cream! Well, not that we can't BBQ or have ice cream at other times, but it seems particularly yummy during the hot weather.

Cindy Leek - Guest Designer

 Can you believe it is already the 21st of July?!
Where has this month went??

This week we have
Cindy Leek
a fabulous card designer with us to share her creativity as our Guest Desinger!

She has done a fabulous job!

But first let's get to know her....

 "I work on my paper crafting full time.  I worked over 20 years as a Geriatric Social Worker and Nursing Home Administrator.  While I loved doing it, I finally realized that it was time for a second career.  I teach paper crafting at several big box craft stores and I also teach and hold crops in both my home and my studio.   Nothing makes me happier than seeing the smiles on the faces of my students when they have created something special."

You can find more of her fabulous work at  www.paperspadsandpictures.blogspot.com

Now look at these gorgeous cards using Peace Fairy

Aren't these awesome!!
