A few more from Emily....

Hi!

Wow...today was a super crazy day! I hope you all had fun "stealing" the Martha Stewart Punches!

Emily Hammann, our July guest designer, created these beautiful layouts for us today showcasing the edge punches (and there is one she did that is an upcoming steal)...I think she did a fantastic job! Thanks Emily!

Hope you all have a great week!

Introducing our July Guest Designer...Emily Hammann!

I am thrilled to introduce our July Guest Designer Emily Hammann! I cannot even tell you how excited we are to have Emily share her creative genius with us.

Emily is one crafty lady and mom, here is a little bio:

I'm a mother of two, Austin and Serenity, who are what make my world go round. They are the inspiration for most of my work. In addition to being a mom, I am also the Director of Sales/Assistant General Manager for a hotel in the St.Louis area. Last but not least I am girlfriend to a wonderful man, Keith who I don't know what I would do without. He has been more than supportive of my scrapbooking habit! Thanks honey!

I have been scrapbooking for the past two years now after finding an ad online for some supplies. After purchasing some tools and creating a layout or two, I was hooked! I am thrilled to have this opportunity with CraftySteals.com as a Guest Designer. Thank you to Stephanie for this wonderful opportunity and to everyone else for all of their support.

Here are a few of the layouts that Emily just created for us! She used the Juicy Summer and Pop Culture Ki Memories kits that can be "stolen" today on www.CraftySteals.com!

Please check out Emily's blog to see more of her craftiness: Through Emily's Eyes at www.singem1.blogspot.com.

Thanks Emily!

Have a fantastic day!

Cricut carts geared towards card making. Long reach punches. Oh yeah and those things that hold embellishments...they are round, sometimes with two spinners, and clips to hold baggies full of your goodies.
