This week our sponsor is The Cutting Cafe.

Hello my name is Regina Easter. I have 4 wonderful children and an awesome supportive husband. I have for as long as I can remember loved all the aspects of creating things with paper and drawing. So it was only fitting that I decided to open up The Cutting Cafe' and I am loving every bit of this new venture. The Cutting Cafe' offers affordable Printable Stamps and Cutting Files. The Cutting Files which are basically just like templates are files that you Print out using your home printer, Cut, Assemble and then Embellish.....Very Easy.....The Cutting Files also come in the format where you can cut out the files using some of the latest Machine Cutters like the Pazzles Inspiration, Bosskut Gazelle and Cricut (with Scal software). The Printable Stamps are just that, images that are sent to you through email that you print out using your home printer. After the images are printed out, you can just color them in like you would any other stamped imaged...One great thing about the Printable Stamps and Cutting Files is that you no longer have to worry about finding space to store all of your stamps....You can keep them all in a folder in your computer and use over and over again.

Our challenge theme this week is "Anything Goes".

The Cutting Cafe has supplied some adorable images for our Design Team to use. Please allow them to inspire you!

As this is the beginning of a new month. We have a new Guest Designer joining us. Please welcome Gail Scott to our team this month.

I am Gail Scott, a Christian crafter who is married to the love of my life, Richard Scott. I am mom to Ben (his wife, Michelle) & stepmom to Rita and Alan. We have seven beautiful grandchildren ranging from ages 2 to 22 years old.

I got my first taste of card making in 2011, from my dear friend Susan when she brought her metal embossing plates and stylus to our Patch of Friends sewing group one evening. I never thought that introduction would lead me to a purchase of a Cricut Machine and Cuttlebug the following year in July of 2012.

At the end of August, 2o12 – I started a blog and began entering my card creations in challenges. So far, it has been a fun ride.

My favorite cards to create are CAS [Clean and Simple]. I also enjoy learning new techniques, as well as following card sketch layouts.

I find card making challenging and rewarding. It is a wonderful hobby that I enjoy and share with two of my granddaughters; Taylor and Sydney.

Thank you for having me as your Guest Designer for February. I feel blessed and honored.
