Happy New Year Everyone! We hope you had a great year and we hope that 2011 is even better for you. Have you thought about resolutions? I have…a lot actually. I’ve thought about them for me personally, and I’ve thought about them for our site. It is much easier coming up with them for the site because I know it will be more fun to keep them.
One of my resolutions for the site is to come up with a better challenges, and well, I did it and it isn’t even New Years yet! Starting tomorrow (Jan 1) we will have a new way we run our challenges! We want to give you bigger prizes and think this will be the best way! If you do a challenge you will get an entry to win a $5 gift certificate to the store. If you do a challenge using 75% Ginger Scraps products you can earn another entry! The more challenges you do, the more entries you get! At the end of the month all of the entries will be gathered and three randomly selected participants will receive a $5 gift certificate. How awesome is that?
Another one of my resolutions is to bring you some new amazing designers to join us. Guess what? I did that too! First, our very own Kathy Winters Designs is now exclusive! Isn’t that exciting? I know Ginger and I were jumping up and down when we heard the news! We are so thrilled to have her on our team and now to have her exclusive? What a dream come true!
Since I don’t want to limit my resolution to just Kathy, I figured I’ll add a new designer to the team! Please help me welcome Cari Creates to the family!!
We asked her to share a little bit about herself with all of you and this is what she had to say:
A bit about me: I live in the woods and mountains of beautiful North Idaho with my dear hubby and our 13 year old dog and a wonderful assortment of wildlife. We have two amazing sons – one graduated U of I & got married this year, the other serves on a submarine out of Pearl Harbor. I am a lifelong arts & crafts gal, enjoying graphic design, papercrafts, cardmaking, rubber stamping, decorative painting, cake decorating, and doodling along with photography, baking, and a bit of light gardening. I have been digiscrapping for a few years now, and love to create digital layouts and designs as well as hybrid projects.
