February came Fast!

Well it is hard to believe that the first month of 2010 is already over. With the end of January we say goodbye to Heather Pulvirenti as our guest designer. Thank you Heather for all the inspiration you added to our challenges this month!

For February we are happy to welcome two fabulous guest designers!

First up, please welcome... Lisa Arana

Here is what Lisa had to say:

Hello everyone. I'm so excited and honored to be a guest designer for the month of February. I have been "crafty" for years, but seriously making handmade cards for about 6 years or so. A friend showed me one of her cards and I was hooked. Now, I have a stash worthy of a hoarder and spend whatever free time I have engrossed in card design. I work full time and try to get my crafting done on the weekends. I am married to the most wonderful and supportive man and we have two sweet rescue dogs named Sienna and Ella. We love to be outdoors, so if I'm not crafting we are outside doing something!

Here are a few of my favorites that I found while perusing Lisa's blog:



Beautiful right?! You can check out more of Lisa's great cards over on her blog: http://dahlhousedesigns.wordpress.com/

Our second guest designer this month is Courtney Baker.

Courtney is the creator behind the Everything But The Kitchen Sink Challenge and is having several projects published this year in CARDS and Paper Crafts magazines...Congrats Courtney!

Here is what Courtney had to say:

Hey friends I’m super excited to be guest designing for the Etsy Inspired Challenge this month. And I don’t know about you, but I’m always waiting for inspiration to strike! I can’t wait to see what’s in store this month!

I love crafts. Really I can‘t get enough of it. Thankfully my sweet husband Chase knew that long before he married me. He had seen the many scrapbooks lining my shelves! Speaking of Chase we’ve been married for almost four years, and we’ve known each other since fifth grade (we didn’t start dating until late in our college years). Chase and I have a sweet little yorkie named Maddie! And if you’ve seen any of my videos you know I’m from the south, Nashville to be exact! Several months ago I started working on designing my own stamp sets, and last month that became a reality as I released my first set!
I’m super excited to be working with this challenge, and I can’t wait to see how we are all inspired!

You can check out Courtney's blog HERE where you will find all her great projects as well as her stamp set that she just released! :)
