Before we get to our challenge, I would like to welcome Alison Barclay to our team! Alison is joining us as a Clean & Graphic designer! Hooray!
Hi! My name is Alison (aka Gothdove Designs) and I live in Brisbane, Australia. I have been a card maker for about 10 years and fell in love with stamping about 3 years ago when I realised just how wonderful and creative stamping is! My style is generally "clean and simple" and I like lots of white space! My other creative world is music...my husband is a drummer and drumming teacher and I work in as an arts administrator for our state orchestra. I'm also a loving (and exhausted) mum to my beautiful two little men who are 4 & 2 years old. I am SO excited to be part of the Card Concept Design Team!
Feel free to use any of the styles of our team or better yet, share you own style by combining one or more of the styles. We want you to have fun and make a card in a style that you feel good about!

August Clean & Layered Guest Designer Kim Singdahlsen
This month we are focusing on Clean and Layered designs. Clean & Layered Designs are distinct with their clean lines, layers, dimension and lots of lovely white space. For the month of September we have the very talented Kim Singdahlsen from Joyful Creations with Kim joining us as our September Guest Designer.
I live in Parker, Colorado with my husband, two teen boys, a dog and two cats. I am a former actuary (the mathematics of insurance) who has had the gift of being able to stay home and raise my boys for the last fifteen years. I recently graduated with a new accounting degree so I can move back into an outside career. Being surrounded by men at home and by numbers at work, is it any wonder that I am passionately in love with creating cards - a rainbow of colors, glitter, ribbon and stamps - and a wonderful online community? The Card Concept is one of my favorite communities and challenges, and I am thrilled to be this month's guest designer.
I was inspired by the lovely combination of aqua and yellow.
