Introducing Crystal Dennett

Hi, My name is Crystal Dennett and I'm from beautiful BC, Canada!  I'm so excited to be back working on the TSB design team with a group of very talented girls!  

 

I'm a single mom to an 11 year old son and love to make cards in my spare time (my son sometimes colours too - he love's Tracey's MAX image).  I've been crafting for as long as I can remember and cardmaking regularly within the last year and a half.  I started out as an avid scrapbooker but 

once I found cardmaking it kind of fell to the wayside. 

 

I love that I could complete a card in an evening and love seeing the smile on a person's face when I give them a one-of-a-kind handmade card.  My family & friends expect them now and if I

ever forget because I run out of time boy am I in trouble! 

 

 

 I am mainly a person who colours only with copics but recently bought some Prismacolour pencils & am having so much fun with them.  Can't wait to use them on my cards for TSB!

Critter Sketch Challenge #47 Sponsor

It's Monday so that means another sponsorship week over at Critter Challenge Sketch Blog as we are sponsoring for whole month of January. This week is a sketch challenge and wait until you see what both the TSB and CSC design team ladies have created using this fun sketch.

Collette has made this yummy treat to share with us today.  She said this cupcake screamed Stickles, so added some pink and icicles as well as glossy accents to the cherry. This image is called Cupcake and would be perfect for all those birthday cards, special treats, or Valentine's projects!


Check out more of Collette's designs on her blog here.

Melissa has created this fun and cute little card using the image called Valentine Cottage. Doesn't this little cottage just say " Come on in and sit for a cup of tea." Or maybe it's a cozy little Love Shack for you and your sweetie to celebrate Valentine's day with a cozy little dinner.

Check out more details on this card on Melissa's blog here. 

I just don't know how she does it, but Aletha once again has created a wonderful work of art.  This image is called Butterfly Friend and the way she has colored it just makes it jump right off the page.

Check out more details on her card here on her blog!

This week we welcome our new designer Dardi and boy has she made a super cute project. She chose to work with Tooth Fairy Cynthia to create this cute little box just perfect for those Valentine's treats for your special someone with a "Sweet Tooth."

Be sure to stop by Dardi's blog to check out more of her work here.

Crystal Dennett, former TSB designer and now designs for the Critter Sketch team made this very pretty card using the image Snowfriends.  I love the soft color pallet she chose to work with and the snowflake embossing is the perfect touch!


You can see more of Crystal's amazing talent on her blog here.

Tammy Miller is also part of the Critter Sketch team and made this lil' cute patootie using Doll Pocket Patootie.  Once again what a wonderful color pallet and the little rose embellies along with the embossing make this card perfectly complete!

Hello! My name is Jenn Ruggeri and I live in Saint Louis, MO, USA. I am a teacher by trade, but right now I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom to three beautiful children. (ages 8,3, and 5) My husband and I are expecting baby #4 in mid-October. Life is crazy at my house, but I wouldn't have it any other way! My love for papercrafting began about 6 years ago. I like to try all sorts of crafts, but cardmaking is my passion!

My name is Crystal Dennett and I'm a recently single mom of one 10 year old boy named Tyler. I love to scrapbook and make cards as it is my escape from my non-creative day job in accounting. I've been stamping for along time for myself and never really shared my projects except with family. It's only been in the last year when I came across the Splitcoaststampers website and made many great online friends who were supportive and who I learned so many new things from that I really became obsessed with it. I'm an avid shopper for supplies and need to find more time to put them to use! I'm super excited to be chosen as part of The Stamping Boutique design team and am looking forward to sharing my creations with you.
