Rhonda Miller - Guest DT

This week we would like to welcome Rhonda Miller

as our Special Guest Designer.

Rhonda created this gorgeous card using
Bloom Grow Live.

 You can find the image here in
Michelle's Etsy Shop.

And here is a little bit about Rhonda....

I'm Rhonda Miller from Grantsville, UT. I have been married for 12 years and we have 4 wonderful children ages 2, 6, 8 and 10. I enjoy spending as much time as I can with my family. I love to craft and have been doing it since high school, when a friend invited me to a stamp party.  I loved it and have been doing it ever since. I have mostly been into card making, but also do cross stitch, plastic canvas and have started doing altered items as well. I have even gotten my kids started and they love to play along in challenges, etc... with me.  My favorite embellishments are flowers and bling.  I just have a hard time saying a project is finished without one or the other.

Thanks Rhonda for being our guest DT this week!

We love seeing your beautiful creations.

Don't forget to enter our

Spring has Sprung Challenge this week.

Hi girls,

Did you miss me last week??? I sure hope so.... (giggle)

I was on a struggle with myself in making some difficult decisions... and totally forgot to make

you a lovely post on Saturday! I'm so so sorry for that!

But I'm back on track... cut the rope that was chocking me...

and let me tell you the relief is huge!!! I'm feeling free and happy again.

Do you reconize this kind of struggle? Jumping from one thought to the other... scared to make the right decision? 

Would you dare to share that with me and my lovely teamgirls?

I would love to read about your tough decisions and know then that I'm not alone in this!

Ok.. let me also bring a little more cheer to the post.....

This weeks challenge is all about colorchoice... Brown and Blue!!! And the team made fantastic cards with this color combo!

and the great thing is that the other team mermaids also made cards for this challenge team...

and I would love to show them to you too!

Irene

Mari

Thanks for reading and "listening" to me and also for sharing your stories with us!

BreAnn McFarland - This weeks Guest DT

Happy Thursday!

Aren't Thursday's great.

Just one more day until Friday and it is Guest DT Day at MPS!

This week's Guest DT is BreAnn McFarland.

 BreAnn created this gorgeous blue and brown card with Butterfly Fairy and you can find her in Michelle's Etsy store.

This is the inside with a beautiful Proverb.

And here is a little bit about BreAnn....

I'm 31, and I live in Georgia, USA. I love trying new projects and techniques, but I stick with papercrafting and beading most of the time. I was diagnosed with a fatal lung disease when I was 14, and I had to have a double-lung transplant when I was 23. I started  college after I had transplant, but had to withdrawl from classes because I was having a lot of problems, including migraines every day.

A couple of years ago, I started taking a medicine that helped with the migraines, and I decided to finish my degree online. One day, my grandmother asked me to check the internet for Martha's new program time, and I got distracted by the craft section on marthastewart.com. I found a lot of cute projects, and I thought it would be fun to do some crafting while trying to find financial aide for school. I enjoyed it so much, and then I found out there was no way I could afford to go back to school; by then I didn't mind because I was very happy spending my time crafting every day, and I would have missed it.

The one drawback to crafting is that my wallet is almost always empty! There are so many wonderful goodies to play with, from tools and embellishments to beautiful designer papers. I think the one tool I use the most would have to be my paper trimmer, and the papers from K&Company and DCWV are my favorites! There is just no way to pick a favorite embellishment, but I love to add some bling to my projects.

Thanks so much BreAnn for being our guest DT this week.

Your card is gorgeous.

Don't forget to join in our Blue & Brown challenge this week ladies. The DT have created some gorgeous cards for your inspiration. One lucky winner will receive an image of their choice from Michelle's Etsy store.

Thanks for stopping by....

Don't be surprised to see a pet hair embellishment on my cards.

I found Michelle Perkett when she designed several stamp setsfor The Angel Company.

Her images were so lovely, and charming, with heartfelt sentiments.

When I found she did digital designs...I was converted.

I havent given up my rubber stanps. I do both.

 Iappreciate the "soulfullness" of her images, and hope you feel thatthrough my creations
