Introducing: The Card team!

Here is a little more information about the ladies who will be sharing their cards with us on the second Tuesday each month as part of our card team!

Our sketch and card designer:

Cathy

Crafting has been my creative outlet since the 80’s when my children were little.  In 2007, I began making cards and it has been my craft of choice every since.  I'm an empty-nester, so for the past five years I have had my own craft room instead of using the dining room table!  I bought my first Copic markers about three years ago.  Although I took the Copic Certification classes in 2012, my biggest resource for learning how to color and shade has been the Internet.  I am grateful for websites like Splitcoast Stampers and other bloggers I have found along the way for helping me continue to build my skills with each card I color.
