Meljen's Designs has new releases along with a new challenge every Thursday, freebies every Monday and a Guest Designer each month at the Meljen's Designs Blog. Please visit the Meljen's Designs line of stamps at the WHIMSY STAMPS STORE to browse and enjoy Melissa's wonderful images!

Meet our November Guest Designer

We have a GUEST designer joining us here at Lollipop Crafts for November!! Yay!! Please meet....


I'm a 40-yr-old mother of one HANDSOME 11-year-old son (bd 9/26/99) and one PRECIOUS 2-year-old son (bd 1/16/09). I've been married to the most wonderful man in the world for 6 1/2 years, and I LOOOOOVE being a Marine wife! My husband has helped me through some very hard times, and I wouldn't be the person I am today without his love and support. He is my rock, my soul mate, and my one true love; without him, I am nothing. He is a gunnery sergeant (active-duty) in the United States Marine Corps (19 1/2 years!), and I am proud and honored to stand beside him as his wife. I've been paper crafting since my oldest was just a few years old, but my style has evolved SOOO much!! My husband and children are my inspiration, and most of my layouts focus on them. I enjoy altering different things, and I've recently gotten into card making and found that I LOOOOVE it!!!!! There are still things I want to learn and techniques I want to try, and I'm always looking for more inspiration!


Welcome Ashley! We hope you have a SWEET time with us and look forward to your creative style!


When you have a moment, please join us in giving Ashely a very warm welcome to the team... You get to see her very first debut creation on Monday! Stick around....
