Welcome Our New Rock Star

After much deliberation we have finally selected a new Rock Star for our Design Team! But before we make the introduction, we first want to extend a big thank you to all those who applied. We saw some wonderful card samples in our in box… it wasn’t easy narrowing them down to just one!!

And now please join us in welcoming our newest Rock Star, Karen Hasheck.

I asked Karen to tell us a little about herself and this is what she had to say…

“I have been stamping and creating cards for a little over 10 years now and I can’t believe the fun I have had and the great friends I have made since discovering this awesome hobby. I am totally addicted and each day I enjoy it more. So many new ideas, stamps and products to try and never enough time!

I have been honored to have many cards published in stamping magazines, but blogging is a new adventure for me. I recently quit a high stress full time job and am currently staying at home and loving all the time I have for stamping and scrapping!

I have a loving husband who is enjoying retirement and is somewhat tolerant of my addiction; two adult children I am very proud of who also live in the Midwest with their better halves; and one adorable grandson who is the light of my life! He is the only reason I got into scrapbooking and I will share some pages from time to time.”

A funny twist… As it turns out, when I was contacting Karen about joining the Design Team she was preparing to upload a card to our blog for our current Sketch Challenge. Imagine her surprise when I told her that she had lost the opportunity to win our Gift Certificate, but had won a Rock Star position instead!

Some of Karen’s work may be familiar to you as she has been participating quite regularly in many of our challenges. She was also a recent winner and selected a sheet of our humorous verses from our Funny Bones collection as her prize. Shown below is a sampling of how she put some of them to good use.

And here is the card Karen was submitting for our J26 Sketch Challenge.

And let this also serve as a reminder that this latest Sketch Challenge wraps up today at 5PM EST so if you haven’t uploaded your card yet then don’t delay. Follow this link to my J26 Sketch Challenge post for all the details and your chance to win a $25 Repeat Impressions Gift Certificate!

Thank you so much for dropping by today. I hope you’ll join us once more tomorrow when we kick off a new Sketch Challenge!
