I’m Julie- I live in Maryland and am a fairly recent widow plus my last beloved kitty passed away this year. A lot of changes on the home front and I seem to have less time to create cards but I still love designing when I can! I have been artistic all of my life, and in addition to creating cards, I enjoying sewing/quilting, drawing/painting, and recently, creating vintage junk journals! Since I enjoy experimenting with different styles and mediums, my overall style tends to be a bit eclectic. Hopefully I will inspire you to create a card and join us!</span></div></div><div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; color: #333333; line-height: 20.79px;"><br /></div></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; line-height: 15.6pt; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><span style="color: #666666;"> </span><span class="MsoHyperlink"><b><span face=""verdana" , sans-serif" style="color: #4d469c;"><a href="http://crimsonowlcreation.wordpress.com/">Michele K.

I've worked in accounting for over 38 years and also work for a Dog Bakery Boutique for the past 5 years. I love to cook & bake, and I've always done some kind of crafting. I've sewed, crocheted, knitted, cross stitched and have been doing paper crafting for over 16 yrs when I was introduced to Stampin' Up! I decided to become a Stampin' Up! demonstrator 4 years ago and love it. I love designing all styles of cards from clean and simple to collage and I've also done some scrap booking. I love layering and especially love water coloring and coloring with alcohol markers.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b style="color: blue;"><a href="https://karen-mycuprunnethover.blogspot.com/" style="color: #4d469c; text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="font-family: verdana; font-size: large;">Karen Letchworth </span></a></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-TszAswBJvc_X7-PXQSgkA31HTyA3QHldhW6N-f1OmWx3eCI7XpPORHgFYaBKq0B22MQH8QLaq1yWM4cbtoF-0po6oqnr8Cw4GfZW5HxN6uMSGnXE0iSq3BCs0_W6mGzC7eatUXRXERLYaX5-FETkrKrqx2o_ZdOiQskig4HAfIyIUY318YlfnKiL=s150" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="150" data-original-width="150" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh-TszAswBJvc_X7-PXQSgkA31HTyA3QHldhW6N-f1OmWx3eCI7XpPORHgFYaBKq0B22MQH8QLaq1yWM4cbtoF-0po6oqnr8Cw4GfZW5HxN6uMSGnXE0iSq3BCs0_W6mGzC7eatUXRXERLYaX5-FETkrKrqx2o_ZdOiQskig4HAfIyIUY318YlfnKiL=w400-h400" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana; text-align: justify;">Hey there, crafty friends!

I have two gorgeous adult daughters and a very new and adorable grandson. My crafting journey began when my girls were young and I discovered scrapbooking, then from there progressed to card making. My style has evolved over the years from primarily clean and layered to experimenting with shabby chic, clean and simple, and dabbling more and more into mixed media. I currently work from home, so have plenty of opportunities to slip into my craft room and lose myself in creating. It's a pleasure to be part of The Card Concept design team for another year. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; line-height: 22px; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div></div></div></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;"><b style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: blue; font-family: verdana; font-size: large;"><a href="http://mackiemade.com/">Mackie Robertson</a></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiev5O2gE20nSz7NGC6SEoDgmoAX-Wi5_QPFMRg-DivvqdlaGJkZxeQVJVx8jlmthzWfelygiF1xVxwRVUx5_21dVb5zXNJZ-laBEpKnw-Pb1oHPZn0w5IPwxpFn24ToqFEjsGIYcVsyvoXPykeV9T5w8uufNfqhZ5pbmJ9wETUuW49seQ9Xcs8ZCPp=s320" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="320" data-original-width="240" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiev5O2gE20nSz7NGC6SEoDgmoAX-Wi5_QPFMRg-DivvqdlaGJkZxeQVJVx8jlmthzWfelygiF1xVxwRVUx5_21dVb5zXNJZ-laBEpKnw-Pb1oHPZn0w5IPwxpFn24ToqFEjsGIYcVsyvoXPykeV9T5w8uufNfqhZ5pbmJ9wETUuW49seQ9Xcs8ZCPp=w300-h400" width="300" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="Body" style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hello!
