Deepti



Hi! I am from India and moved to Cleveland, Ohio after marrying my dear husband in 2011. My hobby used to be sketching prior to paper crafting. It all started with making some new year cards for family in 2013 which led me to Pinterest, to Paper crafting magazine and finally to the wonderful world of blogging... I have been hooked ever since. All the rest of my hobbies have taken a back seat. 
My crafting style is CAS and what makes my cards unique is that I usually try to bring out some meaning into my designs. My recent craze is Distress inks. Besides, card making I often try my hands on canvas paintings, pastels and pencil sketches. 
In my free time you will find me watching thriller series/ movies ;) you name it and I must have seen it LOL Thank you so much City Crafter Challenge Blog for having me over :)




I am a big fan of Deepti, if you stop by her blog and I bet you would be too!

Please meet.....



Hello,
my name is Larissa and I am 37 years old. I live in the middle of the Netherlands in a tiny city. I started card making about 15 years ago…when I visited a craft fair with my mother. We saw a couple of stamps and decided we wanted to try them. I have always been crafting with my mother and we did lots of things together, like sewing dolls and stuffed animals, making babyclothes and lots of other stuff. I really love coloring, it relaxes me so much. I love using the silhouette to make cute little boxes and presents. My style is most of the times very clean and simple 



Please stop by Larissa's blog for more of her beautiful work

Darnell Knauss



My name is Darnell and my blog is (djkardkreations.com). I started making my own cards in 2002 after attending my first Stampin' Up! party and I have never looked back. After ten years making cards for family and friends inside the disgusting garage, we had the backyard relandscaped and I became the envied occupant of my sweet crafty Playhouse! I am having the time of my life now blogging to share my cards, play with words, and make friendships with delightful people from all over the world who provide me with endless inspiration! 




How adorable, thanks Darnell!
Please stop by Darnell's blog to say hello, I am sure she would be thrilled to see you there!

Prize


Winner will get to choose 4 digital images from Sweet Pea Stamps

Sweet Pea Stamps (SPS) is a small home-based business in Michigan. SPS does not work from a brick and mortar shop. You will find SPS only on line at Sweet Pea Stamps. We pride ourselves in quality and value. Lynette McAnsh, Owner, is a perfectionist. If the product is not top quality, she will not offer it.

Lynette stated her small business selling D.O.T.S. in the 90s. In 1999 she started “Designs, Ink’d” and sold that business in 2004 due to health and family issues. Missing the love of running a small business, and with her children older, she started Sweet Pea Stamps in April 2009. Now, 5 years later, we are representing over 30 artists with digital images and rubber stamps. She does work alone, sometimes with the help of family; her turn-around time may be longer than the big companies. You will always be met with friendly and professional demeanor and her merchandise will always be the highest quality.

Other online places to visit SPS are the Facebook page Sweet Pea Stamps, and our Facebook group, Sweet Pea Stamps Friends and Fans. SPS has a monthly blog challenge at One Sweet Challenge and daily inspiration from SPS’s designers at Sweet Pea Rubber Stamps blog. We hope you join use.
