About Me

I love to draw and make cards and share those creations with you on my blog. I also do video tutorials whenever I can. Right now I am drawing illustrations for three rubber stamp companies and one digistamp company. I work from home in Ontario, Canada.
This little challenge blog has been a dream of mine for awhile and I am so happy to see it come to pass! I hope you enjoy playing along with me!
I have been married to Mike for 24 years and we are very much in love. We have four grown children and one grandchild. The only ones left at home now are our two cutie pie mutts, Avro and Spitfire.
God is the central focus of my heart and life, and everything I create is really just an outflow of my love for Him. He does it best; all I have to do is look into my husband's eyes, or my kids faces, and I see the work of a Master Artist. I hope you have a pleasant visit here, and perhaps find some inspiration. Bless you, and thank you for stopping by!

Sarah Litterick--Blog and DT Coordinator

Hi, I'm Sarah and I live in SW Ontario, Canada with my husband, daughter, and two crazy cats. I have been an avid scrapbooker for most of my life and started making cards about 4 years ago. Most of my stamp collection at the moment is rubber but I have also fallen madly in love with digital stamps too!! I gravitate to using alcohol based markers to colour my images but also love to use Prismacolor pencils with mineral spirits too; sometimes combining both methods. I feel very excited, blessed and honoured to be a member of Crissy's Crew!!

"I'm Jane from the UK and I am a stay at home Mum to two gorgeous children who keep me entertained and busy. I have loved to draw, paint and create for as long as I can remember and soon became addicted to card making when I purchased a small kit 2 years ago. I have been incredibly lucky since I started my blog and am on a few design teams and made lots of special friends. I am absolutely thrilled to be a part of Crissy's team and to have the opportunity to work with her adorable images."

Linda Jessup

Hi I’m Linda. I am from the UK, but for the time being I live in Bahrain with my lovely husband Brian who works here, he is very supportive to my crafting adventures as I call them, which is bit of a task sometimes with all the mess I make in my craft room. I have always loved arts and crafts especially scrapbooking, altered art and card making but my adventures took a turn when I found stamping three years ago and was hooked straight away, I use all kinds of mediums but Copic and Pro Markers are my favourites.

Shari McLaughlin

I am mom to two adults and 4 fur babies, and have been a crafter forever. I started with rug hooking, crocheting, faux painting, and then ran my own tole painting business for years ( even cut my own pieces of wood ). Scrapbooking entered the picture about 14 years ago when I moved to Calgary. When Copics first came out I resisted - who needed another addiction LOL!!! - that lasted for a whole two months, and then I took a basic class and the rest as they say is history!! I became a Copic Certified Designer in April 2010 and LOVE everything about Copics, including experimenting with all kind of techniques, and passing my passion and knowledge on to fellow Copic lovers!!! I am so honored to be invited to join the DT at Sundays with Crissy, and am looking forward to getting to meet new people through the challenges.

Shannah Bartle

“Hi! I'm Shannah and I live in the beautiful Hills region of South Australia. My wonderful hubby is a Police Officer, and we have one cat (ie demanding fur-baby) called Poppy. I love traveling, photography, talking and reading, and am happy as long as I'm learning something! I took up card-making about 3 years ago, and the very first stamps I fell in love with were Crissy's High Hopes cuties! So you can imagine how excited, nervous, and completely honored I am to be a member of Crissy's Crew! :)”

Rosalien Zwackhalen

Hello, my name is Rosalien Zwackhalen and I live in the Netherlands. I’m married and we have 2 grown up children ( a daughter and a son ) who live on their own now. We also have 2 German Shepherds who are the greatest dogs in the world. I had a lot of hobby’s in the past but Scrapbooking and Card Making with rubber or digital stamps are my favorites. I discovered them a couple of years ago and I never loved a hobby as much as this one. Soon I started my own blog and joined some DT’s. I was so excited when I was asked to join Chrissy’s DT. I love her images and they are so great to color. And it’s so great to be part of this amazing and super talented DT.I hope I can inspire you a little with my creations, just like you all do to me with your creations.

Chris Olsen

Hi! My name is Chris Olsen and I live in Bloomingburg, NY, with my wonderful husband, Scott, and two beautiful girls, Nicki and Meghan. I love everything crafty and began stamping about 3 1/2 years ago. I especially enjoy coloring and creating cards or 3D gifts for others. I use stamping as a hobby or way to escape. It has been a blessing to meet so many creative people in the blogging world and learn from them as well. I just love Crissy's drawings and I feel deeply honored and blessed to have the opportunity to work with her and this incredibly talented design team!
