Gift Cert Winner and April Guest DT

Hello and Happy Easter weekend!!

I'm popping in tonight to announce the winner of our March sponsor, Paper Jewel's, gift certificate give a way. I'm so excited that we had such a wonderful, successful first challenge month. I hope you'll continue to be inspired and come back to join us to play some more in the months to come.

So who is the winner of this fabulous $15 gift certificate,

My Illusive Muse

I would like to introduce you to our April guest designer, Kim Howard.

Here is a brief bio on Kim:
I started out scrapbooking pictures of my son. After visiting a friend while on a business trip, I became hooked on stamping and have barely looked back. I still dabble in the scrapbooking but my love is now stamping.
My studio/office is stationed in our basement, where it's nice and cold and hardly any sunlight. You can usually find me getting creative after my 3 kids are tucked into their beds and my husband is planted in front of ESPN.

You'll love Kim's style; she is so sweet and talented. I'm excited to have her as a guest designer for the month of April. Make sure you pop by her blog, Basement Stamper for some wonderful inspiration

Here is a little sneak peak of one of her creations. Is it not so cute and fabulous!!
