The Card Concept # 46 {A Warm Heart}

Welcome to The Card Concept! Happy New Year! We are so happy to be back and look forward to seeing how you are inspired! Before we get onto the first challenge of the year, I am happy to announce that Sheri Gilson is re-joining the team! Welcome back, Sheri! We are sad to say farewell to Vicki Burdick and we wish her all the best! I l know she will be playing along when she is able! Thank you for all of your hard work, Vicki!

I asked Sheri to share a bit about herself...

Sheri Gilson

Hi! My name is Sheri and I live in Northern California with my husband of 21 years and our 15 year old son. I’m a SAHM who loves to create. I was first introduced to stamping just before the birth of my son and have never stopped. Thank you so much, Lesley, for for asking me to join the DT in the Classy & Elegant category!! I'm super honored to be here.

Each week we offer up a challenge for you to try, and we hope that you will create a card in one of the styles we have offered here.  The team is divided into the different styles and each designer explains how they were inspired by the challenge!  So come and join us and try your hand at a brand new "style" of card making or work in your comfort zone, it is totally up to you!

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!

The styles are explained HERE.
