One week left to enter our challenge!

Hi! We are in full swing with our Christmas in July theme. You have one more week until our next challenge begins. The entries have been wonderful and we enjoy visiting each one of your blogs.

As you may have seen we are having a DT call. It will also end on the on Aug 6th. Let us know you're interested by sending an email to the5ofusare (@hotmail.com). Please include your blog link and a few samples. All level of crafters are welcome :)

Behind the scenes we have had a few changes and we are sad to say goodbye to some of our old DT members. But with change comes new beginnings! So, we are excited to introduce a few new members to our design team!

Please show them some love by visiting their blogs :) As always our DT links can be found to the right on the sidebar. Have a great week!

Sandy

I'm Sandy and I live in Texas (born, raised and forever lived here) so, yes, I'm a true Texan but I don't have horses, boots or live on a ranch or have oil property.  (Not all of us do) Ha, ha. Married to my soul mate for 36 years now (together for 40!!!)  I have 3 grown children, Nana to 5 great grandkids and also have fur babies (cats)  Right now, 8 (not all live in the house thank goodness) but we do feed all that come to visit and if they stay...well, they get named. (And taken to the vet for shots and a little birth control procedure). I have been doing crafts all my life, inspired by my dearly departed Grandmother on my Mom's side.  I can sew and sometimes dabble in quilting.  I love photography and have the gear for that and did portraits for a while but had to give that up because of stress and problems with my back.  I have been scrapbooking since 1995 and have a ton of completed albums.  I started making cards September 2011 by attending a party to make cards for Operation Write Home, which I still make cards for,.  I started my blog last year as well and jumped in to partcipating in challenges.  I have been a guest page designer for We R Memory Keeper's facebook page.  I am currently on the Digi Haven Design Team and Seems A Little Sketchy Design Team.  I love working with all sorts of mediums and techniques.  I have enough stuff and supplies to keep me going for many years but still seem to find my way to the scrapbook store!

Sharon

I'm 46 years old, married to my wonderful husband for just over 27 years and together we have 2 beautiful daughters ages 19 and 21.  I work as an Accounts Administrator at an inner-city school for kids in grades 9 through 12.  I love my job because it gives me the opportunity to be a positive influence to the students and instill in them the belief that they matter!  For as long as I can remember I have always loved to create! Whether it be the drawings I etched into my mother's fancy cabinets when I was 4 (I still don't admit that to her, lol), the songs that I dabble at writing, or the cards that I make now, I have a huge passion and heart for creating.  I am so thrilled to be part of this DT and look forward to sharing my creations with you.
 ***Sharon forgot to mention that she offers some fabulous FREE word sentiments on her blog :)



I am an avid crafter. When I'm not creating, I'm thinking about it or enjoying others' creations. I live in Oregon with my partner (aka boyfriend) & our three furry kids. We love to spend time outdoors - camping, swimming & taking lots of photos of the Earth's beauties.
***Corrinne has a Etsy shop with some fun items (see her blog name for a hint of what she sells :)


 
See you next week to crown our winner and name our Top 3 picks!
