New Members of Our Design Team

We're so proud and happy to announce the three newest members of our Design Team. Starting this week on Team A are Letisha and Kimberly. Below you'll find photos and brief bios on each of them.

Letisha

Hi everyone... I am 24 years old from Australia. I have the best boyfriend in the world and a gorgeous chocolate toy poodle "Louis." A year ago I was a law student studying hard- However, due to unforeseen health issues I've been unable to work or study. This means I now spend my days crafting! I enjoy doing all things creative... But I love making cards because they are fairly quick and fulfilling. I also often dabble in a bit of mixed media and am willing to try anything. I am new to the blogging world. Feel free to visit my blog and leave me comments, I really appreciate any feedback!

Kimberly

Hi, I'm Kimberly! I've tried a large variety of crafts since I was little and now mainly do paper crafts. Of course, creating cards with stamped images is at the top of my list these days because I sure love to color! I'm so happy to be here with the talented Tuesday Throwdown team!

Then, starting with Team B next week, comes Kren. Here's a bit about her, too.

Kren

Hi! I’m Kren, a nickname that comes from my legal name Karen. There were always so many Karens in high school and college, I have used Kren ever since. I have been a crafty person all my life; I sometimes compare myself to a spider plant, sending our little runners of hobbies. My wonderful husband and I put whimsical Santas and other wooden holiday items in shops in NC now. We have both retired from teaching and have left the craft show circuit behind so I have entered my “fourth life.” I have the time to pursue my artistic passions -- paper crafts and digital photography.

Welcome aboard, ladies. We are already enjoying your work and you are each a great addition to the Tuesday Throwdown Teams A & B

Tuesday Throwdown Challenge #163

Welcome to Tuesday Throwdown #163. We want to say a really big thank you to everyone who joined us and played along last week. Your entries are always amazing!

Before we get to our winners from last week, we'd like to thank everyone who applied in our DT Call. You ladies didn't make it easy for us to choose only three new members. I know you hear that after every DT Call but we actually had to resort to doing coin tosses once we got down to 5 possibilities. There were just so many fantastic cardmakers who applied. We will be announcing our new team members in a few days. If you didn't get chosen this time, please think about applying next time.

Now, our winners: For challenge #162, our prize winner chosen via Random.org is:

Guest Designer for September: Tammy

Hello! I'm Tammy and my blog is My Craft Central. I'm so excited to be the guest designer for September, thank you ladies! I live in Colorado with my wonderful husband and our adorable Jack Russell Terrier! I've always had some kind of crafty thing going on in my life. But, when I started to make cards I knew it was the perfect craft for me because I love to color and create with paper!

Visit the DT blogs for more details on their projects and leave them a little comment love while you're there. That's the best way to find out how they did their cards. :-D Besides, we all love getting feedback, don't we?
