DT Introductions: Betty Wright

It's time to introduce the final member of the Muse: ChristmasVisions DT! Please join us in welcoming Betty Wright from The Things I do with Paper!

I'm from North Carolina and I have been doing crafty things for as long as I can remember.  However, my love for paper crafting did not really begin until I became a stay at home mom.   The need for a creative outlet was exactly that, a need.   I started scrap booking and from that card making. Even though I work full time these days and the kids are almost grown, I still really need to paper craft.  I find it very therapeutic and calming.   I am still amazed to see what I can create with paper!


Betty's first challenge will be on Wednesday, May 20!

And the lucky random winner from Chriss' introduction post is #6 -

But wait! There's more!

We have one final 'stocking stuffer' for one lucky person who leaves a comment on this post. On Wednesday our first challenge will go live at 9 am and we will also announce the final lucky random winner of a brand new Memory Box Merry Christmas die and a 3-pack of Wink of Stella (silver, gold and clear!)

DT Introductions: Chriss Blagrave

We're back for the much-anticipated introduction of our next DT member here at Muse: ChristmasVisions! Please join me and Kimberly in welcoming Chriss Blagrave of Botanical Cafe.

Hi there!

I have been making cards since 2001 and enjoying every minute!

Still experimenting with different styles and always interested in a new technique, I make cards every day.  I have been blogging since January 2009 and have been having a blast with the various challenges out there!  

I am so excited to be on this new Christmas themed challenge team and just about fell off my chair when Ardyth invited me to become a charter DT member for Muse:Christmas Visions!  

I know this is going to be a wonderful challenge that will help us get all of those beautiful Christmas cards made throughout the year.

Chriss' first challenge will be on Wednesday, May 13.

And now it's time to announce the winner of our first stocking stuffer prize! The random number generator told us that comment #57
