Get to know Wendi....

Hey there, my name is Wendi Robinson and I am sooo excited to be a GDT for the challenge this week. I live in the beach town of Cali, and am a total beach girl. I have been married to my hottie for 13 years next month, and have 2 busy kids that keep me on my toes. Austin is 10 and Sydney is 8. We are also expecting #3 in December, and are excited to have another baby be a part of our lives. I've been scrappin since back in the day, before it was really scrapbooking. But I've been pretty much an addict since about 7 years ago, when I finally had a crafty space to call my own. I love making layouts, cards, altering things, anything to be crafty. My addictions are Diet Cherry Pepsi, peanut butter M&Ms, Depeche Mode, my ipod, zumba and hanging out with my family....

City Crafter Challenge #78 - A Boo-tiful Color Challenge

Hi All! I'm so excited to be this week's hostess for City Crafter Challenge Blog! The theme this week is "A Boo-tiful Color Challenge". Your challenge is to PRIMARILY use the colors BLACK and CREAM on your project. I love Halloween and this color challenge is Halloween inspired, but your projects DO NOT have to be Halloween projects. Please REMEMBER that in order to be in the running for our prize, though, that we want to see projects that the MAJORITY of your project is using the colors BLACK and CREAM. You may use other colors, but the focus should be on BLACK and CREAM. We can't wait to see your BOO-TIFUL projects!

Hi everyone! My name is Stella Schenkel and I live with my husband in the northern part of the Netherlands (also called Holland) in Europe. I am a (very proud) mom of 2 sons of 24 and 20 years and working at the font office of an insurance company.

I started card making in the end of 2009 and am hooked ever since. I stated blogging in 2010 and CCCB has been the first challenges I joined. I play along most of the time since then (oh my is this English???). CCCB brought and is still bringing me so much fun since I joined them. A wonderful source of inspiration; an extremely talented DT who also are a group of wonderful women.

It was a lovely surprise when Kirsty asked me to be a GD and I am very very honored. I hope you all can play along this week!

Get to know Virginia....

I'm Virginia Lu from Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. I'm blessed with two wonderful children ad a loving and supportive husband. In my little world, I help manage my hubby's medical office. When NOT working, I love creating cards, making layouts and cooking yummy food. I fell in love with stamping and card-making over 16 years ago. However, I only became active and passionate about my hobby in Fall 2008. I haven't stopped since! I love working with all kinds of stamps, pattern paper, inks, digital images, embellishments and stickers! I love paper-crafting as it is so fun and therapeutic. I find myself thinking/dreaming about stamps as I love to maximize the use of each stamp in most creative ways. Currently I design for SRM Stickers and CAS-ual Fridays Challenge Blog. You may find my cards in Paper Crafts (Jan/Feb 2012).

My blog: http://virginialusblog.blogspot.com/

It is such an honor and pleasure to be the guest designer for City Crafter challenge blog this week. A big thank you to Creation by AR for providing such a fabulous dress template.

All 3D templates used by GD and DT are kindly sponsored by Creation by AR
