Kim Prince:

My name is Kim Prince. I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I am married tomy best friend and have 2 wonderful sons! I also became a Grandmother last
year, Twice!  Life is good

DeeDee Catron:
My name is DeeDee Catron, I am mother to a gorgeous 8 week old boy and wife to a wonderful loving man.I'm 23 years old, have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Industrial Design and have a fiery passion for all things crafty. I love making my own everything; embellishments, backgrounds, graphics, papers, and anything else I can make from scratch. I live to recreate things that inspire me, and I love incorporating all types of materials and processes into every day crafting. My style is very vintage/grunge/distressed. I love to work in kraft/neutral as well as bright vivid colors. I'm a card maker, scrapbooker, tag maker, altered artist and on and on. I like to try it all! I currently am working mostly on my Etsy shop; trying to make my hobby a money maker! umwowstudio.etsy.com

Rebbecca Parsons:

R-tiste Rebecca E. Parsons is a Deliberate Creator you may know as Cre8Tiva, her alter ego. Rebecca/Cre8Tiva have been on a blissful journey to Cre8Topia for decades leaving imaginative artwork and creatively inspired students strewn throughout the world.

To meet her is to get swept away by the whirlwind of creative passion and enthusiasm she exudes. She radiates caring warmth with a true desire to see you succeed. Her motto is…it is no harder to do what you love than to do what you don’t…. You can’t help but be inflamed to succeed as an artist.

Rebecca’s award-winning art is mixed media personified. From doodles to digital paintings, from murals to custom designed purses and accessories her creations are magical fights of fancy that make you want to join in her quest for Cre8Topia.

She shares this passion for creativity through workshops and retreats, A Live TV Show, two radio Talk Shows for artists, Cre8Tiva’s Blog, Cre8tive Compass Magazine/Blog, and as a Creativity Retreat Leader and Holistic Coach/Mentor to Artists. Rebecca has written and self-published five books for creative people and is writing her 6th, “Curate YOU…showing people who color outside the lines how to make a living doing what they love!”

Her artists’ statement reads: “Early in life I knew I was creative as I would draw, dance, write and sing the day away. My box of broken crayons was my greatest treasure. I love to explore and push the limits of tools and products creating and experimenting with wild abandon. My work has evolved, as has my life, to embrace my love of the human form, nature (especially the ocean), vintage images and my spirituality. You will find my work is figurative and whimsical and I always hide a trademark bubble in my artwork! My propensity to use texture, especially little treasures I find, stems from the roots of my love for decorative painting (commonly called faux finishing).”

Then I stamp the Dec 25th stamp onto white cardstock and cut it out.

Added the metal embellishment "making a list" to the bottom of the tag with a couple brad or eyelets. Added some fiber and a Christmas present charm.
Background is Red Cardstock that I embossed with a embossing folder. Love those thing. Ages the embossing with ink..

That's the basic... Hope you enjoy my card... Now hop on over the Chis Hurley Blog and see what see made for us..
