Guest Designer

Please meet.......

Sue Lelli

I am so excited to be Guest Designing for the City Crafter's Challenge Blog!  This challenge has always been a source of great inspiration to me both with the beautiful inspiration photos and the lovely creations week after week by the very talented Design Team. 

I have been crafting something my entire life and have wonderful memories making things with both of my parents.  Scrapbooking turned into card making and now I am dabbling in Mixed Media as well. 

I am 55, retired in Florida with my DH and two kitties, and loving life!  We have one son in college.  I tend to craft into the wee hours of the night and sleep in every morning, so don't call before 9am!

Sue is our Special Guest Star for the month of August, you will sure to love her work, stop by and Sue's blog to check it out!
