October Guest Designer

Happy October everyone! It's the first of the month and we are revealing our GUEST DESIGNER!! She'll be joining our wonderful design team this month with her creative style. Please give a warm sugary WELCOME to LINDA SIMPSON!!!! Let's get to know her a little better...

Hello
My name is Linda Simpson and I live in the UK. I have been crafting nearly all my life but eventually got into paper crafting nearly 9 years ago now like many of you crafters out there have also. I love stamping, decoupage, using my distress inks and getting mucky paws and have recently got into using acrylic paints in my crafting, unfortunately I haven’t done a lot of this since I have been so busy doing other things. I set up my own blog in May of this year and I can’t tell you how blown away I am by how many visitors I get and the lovely comments too. I am honoured to be the Guest DT for the month of October and I hope you like my designs for the challenges ahead. I look forward to seeing what creations you come up with for these fabulous challenges.

Happy Crafting my Blogging Friends.

Welcome to the team Linda!! We look forward to all your creative projects and hope you will have a great time with us!!

Please visit her blog and check out her beautiful creations. Her first assignment will be featured on Monday and throughout the month of October so stay tuned!
