As a new consultant I love checking out other consultants blogs, it helps inspire me to want to create. I'm not the type of person who can sit and create on my own, I need inspiration, whether it is a design layout, or color combinations that I never would of thought to use. Your blog has been a huge contribution to my inner creativeness, I hope to meet you at June's Convention in Disney. Go Canada Go!!!! Have a happy, creative Day! stewart.78@hotmail.com
Happy everything Vicki, so much to celebrate, and so deserving. I come to your blog every morning for inspiration, and a fresh way of looking at life. You are always so helpful and informative, a breath of fresh air in this busy world. My fave part of your blog are the tips for taking pics, light boxes etc. Your cards are always beautiful and always have instructions and lists of supplies used..kudos and hugs. Kelly
Wow, I just spent a good half hour or so checking out your blog! So many great ideas! I am new to you. I started with Rocky Mountain Paper Crafts and hopped on a blog. I have a CTMH demonstrator but need tons of ideas more on how and what to create with all these stamps and papers etc. I have collected. I found your hops are the perfect way, why didn't I try this earlier? Anyway, kudos on your achievements! I need to go back and look some more. Thanks for a wonderful experience.
