Welcome here on design team Saturday!
Since it is so close to November already and, like most of you will know, that will be the first month were we will have a guest designer we thought it would be nice to introduce our guest to you today. For those of you who do not know Michelle Wooderson already that is. Seeing the amount of votes she had that can't be many ;)
"Hi there. My name is Michelle Wooderson but most of my friends from the paper crafting world call me Mish. I am so excited to be this month's guest designer for Cosmo Cricket and am looking forward to digging into that goodie box! I have been a serious paper crafter for over 10 years but my roots of crafting go way back to the days of hoarding little lady bug stickers from stationery kits, looking forward to the new crayon box with the sharpener, and helping my mom prepare crafts for Bible school. O started scrapbooking after my first daughter was born 13 years ago. A local scrapbook store opened at about the same time and I was hooked from the moment I walked into that little shop. I have another daughter who is 12 who is super crafty and a great husband. We live in the heartland of Kansas and wouldn't trade the country life for anything.
I have worked for a lot of companies in the paper crafting and stamping industries over the years and have recently narrowed my list down to just a few companies so that I could pursue an Etsy shop venture. I love to create scrapbook pages, cards, kits, packaging items and gifts and then share them with the world through my blog called Mish Mash. Each item that I create comes from the heart and I think that is what my blog followers love the most about me. My projects have a special meaning and are usually made for specific people in mind. I make things that are simple to create and give lots of instructions so that my blog readers can say, "Hey, I can do this!"
My other hobbies include spending lots of time with my family and attending the girls' sporting events, gardening, sewing, quilting, cooking and junking. All of these hobbies are reflected in my creations ad you'll definitely see that when you visit my blog. I like to throw in fun stories about my life too so you just never know what you're gonna get when you visit Mish Mash. I hope you enjoy my creations this month and I would like to extend a huge thank you to the Cosmo Cricket team for having me as their guest designer. Let the crafting begin!"
Michelle we are so exciting to have you as our guest and can't wait to see your first creation next Saturday!
For this Saturday we thought is was about time for an other challenge so you will all have a chance to play along and maybe even win a prize ;)
This week it was Wendy Sue's turn to come up with a challenge and all of us loved what she came up with!
"I was thinking it would be fun to issue a challenge based on an image...so-I'd love to share this image (from pottery barn) with you and have everyone create something based on it. It can be the colors, the layout, the theme - whatever inspired you. Also, you can create a layout, a card, or some other type of project. I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!"
Let's start with Wendy Sue's own take on this challenge! She used the new Circa 1934.
Next is Laura who came up with this great card, also using Circa 1934.
Circa 1934 was very populair for this challenge since also Gudrun used it! Maybe it being such an awesome release has something to do with it?! ;)
Debbie was really inspired as well, making this awesome card using Earth Love.
This layout by Amy really has an autumn feel to it. She used Haunted and Matilda papers.
With this next project there is something you need to know....it isn't finished jet! An unfinished project you might think, who is going to show that on a blog?! Well Natasja does, lol. This challenge really inspired her to make this vintage wreath using Circa 1934. It is almost finished so you get the idea of how it will turn out. She promised to share a new picture when it's done ;)
Now are you as inspired as we were?! Make sure to share your creation by leaving a link in your comment and who knows.....you could win a Circa 1934 craftkit! We'll announce the winner next Saturday.
See there was nothing spooky here...except for maybe the length of this post!
Happy Holloween and happy scrappin'!
