Valerie Rankins - Guest DT

Happy Thursday!! I just love these Guest DT posts. 

They have been so much fun.  All the ladies have been so creative!

This week we are privileged to have Valerie Rankins with us.

Here is her beautiful card...

Isn't this Grace beautiful,

 you can find the image at Michelle's Etsy shop.

And here is a little bit about Valerie...

I'm a happily married empty nest Mom to 2 sons and 4 bonus daughters, I have a beautiful granddaughter and two very handsome grandsons. My grandchildren make life all worth while, they are the sunshine of my days..We have a rescue Labradoodle named Fenway, we got him to try and fill that void that our children left when they all flew the nest. He is a joy and keeps us very busy.. I have lived in Maine my whole life and work as a Paralegal and my husband (Michael) is a 911 Dispatcher.

My Dear Husband just turned one of our spare bedrooms into a craft room for me. I often ask him if he regrets that as I spend so much time in there. I have been scrapbooking since my kids were babies, so about 24 years. I love stamps and enjoy coloring them with my Prismacolor Pencils then blending with mineral spirits. My favorite is just paper crafting in general, anything from cards, mini albums to explosion boxes. I love trying new projects and techniques.

Thank you to Michelle Perkett for having me as a guest designer, I Love her stamps, she is a absolutely fabulous artist!

Thanks Valerie for being our guest designer this week!

Danni Bindel Guest DT

Welcome to another Guest Designer Thursday.

This week we are excited to have Danni Bindel

 as our Guest DT.

Just look at this gorgeous creation featuring Happy Easter Bunny.

And here is a little bit about Danni...

I'm a SAHM to Matthew who is 9 and Annabelle who is 6. US Army wife to Sam and we will celebrate our 12th anniversary on May 1st. We just moved to Fort Lewis, Washington and are loving it so far. Our last duty station was Fort Bliss, Texas so this is quite the change from the desert. We also have 2 dogs, Freckles and Daisy and I just got a friend for my craft room, Jade the parakeet.

I started scrapbooking about 13 years ago and swore I'd never stamp....then about 6 years ago I hosted a TAC (The Angel Company) party and I was hooked! I signed up to be a demonstrator that next day..hehe.

Now-a-days I stamp almost daily, it's my passion!! I love stamps and paper and copics and etc.and etc!! LOL! I love it all!!

A big thank you to Michelle Perkett for having me as a guest designer as I just {adore} her stamps!

Thanks Danni for being our Guest DT this week!
