October Guest Designers

That's right folks, the title says it -- Guest Designers. We've got 2 great ladies to introduce to you today and we are super excited to have both these ladies joining us in October.  You'll get to start seeing their wonderful creations for Lollipop Crafts starting next Monday.

First off, we have Cabio. 

Hello everyone, my name is Cabio.  I am thrilled and excited to be the Guest Designer for the month of October.  What an honored to be here!  Thank you for the invitation by Lollipop Crafts :o)

I am located in British Columbia in Canada and married with my husband Eddy for 16 years and together we have a 10 year-old daughter Jasmine.  Besides my full time job, I spend most of my spare time inside the craftroom.  I enjoy adding details on cards and my favorite craft MUST tool is Copic Markers.  I am looking forward to share and get inspirations from the Lollipop Crafts DTs as well as all the challenge participants :o)

And now I'd like to introduce you to Erika.

I’m Erica and I live in Tomah, Wisconsin in a beautiful house with my partner, Brenda, and our 10 year-old daughter, Merceydeis.  I have been scrapbooking for 7 years, card making for 5, and altering items for 4.  I have a huge craft room where I create my projects.  I run a group home system for adults with chronic mental illnesses; I have been there for almost 9 years.  I recently began teaching undergrads at the University of Phoenix, too.  I am an avid reader.  Barnes & Noble is my FAVORITE store.  I recently received a nook as a gift and have already read 8 books on it. 

I am also an Independent Demonstrator for The Angel Company where we sell beautiful stamps, paper packs, Copic markers, and a variety of embellishments.  Stop my blog and visit my store. I look forward to creating with the Lollipop girls.  p.s. Don’t ya just love my hat?

We'd also like to thank Kristie once again for being such a great guest designer during September.  We hope you won't be a stranger Kristie.  Come visit us often.
