We are so please to share some work from our new Guest Designer Kathy Martin. I have long been a fan of her cards, but her talents go far beyond cardmaking and we will have a number or projects to share in the coming weeks with our Escape collection. We wanted you to get to know Kathy a little better and interviewed her with some questions...
LYB: What is your ‘go to’ embellishment?
KM: My go to embellishment is anything that adds dimension and texture to my page. I love pinwheels, rosettes, flags, banners and buttons.
LYB: What are your favorite types of projects—pages, mini albums, cards, altered projects, etc?
KM: Even though I make them all, I prefer cards. I think it’s because I’ve been doing them the longest and they provide instant gratification since they’re quicker to make.
LYB: Are you a morning bird or night owl?
KM: I’m up with the birds. I like to check my e-mail, blog, Facebook and Pinterest while I drink my coffee and I usually have that done before anyone else gets up!
Now for Kathy's first project...
Kathy made these adorable cards with our Escape collection. They are so bright and "fun" that it feels like you are escaping to an amusement park or carnival. We love how she layered all of our embellishments on her cards.
We will be back with more amazing projects from Kathy. Please visit her blog Card Blanc for more inspiration and she has a Giveway on her blog today!
Have a crafty weekend -
