A New & Talented Designer on our Team!

A few months back, we lost a very talented designer -- Faith Hofrichter -- as she decided to break out on her own and open her own web store. The thought of adding a new face to the team was difficult. We have such a talented and great group of ladies, how do you ever really replace them? Well, it was tough and you can say I took my sweet time! But, after searching far and wide, my eyes landed on one lady's blog and I kept coming back for more! Eventually, we took a leap and asked this fine designer to join us! And guess what? She said YES!

So, without further ado, meet......

When you visit Dawn's blog, My Stamping Thyme, it's like one big dose of "happy!" She loves cheerful colors and often uses fun embellishments that literally make you smile. You should pay her a visit! She also has amazing coloring skills, and that's what drew me in time and time again!

In preparation for her big reveal, we asked her to grab one of her favorite Flourishes sets and make a card. She whipped up this cheery Strawberries creation using a mix of Prismacolor Pencils and Copic markers. Isn't it just darling?

We also asked Dawn to share a few thoughts and a little bit about herself too!

Hello everyone.. I am Dawn Burnworth and I am so excited to be joining this amazing design team. I have admired their work and creativity here at Flourishes.

I have always been a crafty girl.. I grew up in northern Illinois in a large family. I started out sewing one summer with my aunt.. She was such a huge influence in my life. I got so homesick and she was trying to keep my mind busy. I still find that when I am really stressed that a crafty type project eases my mind. She planted a seed in me that has been an important part of who I am.

I have a wonderfully supportive husband that puts up with my crafty "needs" and 5 great kids. I started stamping about 5 years ago. I remember uploading my first card to a challenge and how nervous I was. I have learned so much from all of the amazing talent out there.

I look forward to creating with the rest of the team and I am so happy to be stamping with Flourishes terrific stamps and thank you for this opportunity.

Thanks Dawn! We know it's going to be a fun ride and a blast getting to know you better!

Before we go, we wanted to share a darling card from one of our past DT members, Susan Roberts! She pulled out all the stops to make this footloose and fancy free card just in time for Mardi Gras!!!

Susan's fun-filled card uses Flourishes Mardi Gras set! If you want to know more about this creation, just pay Susan a visit HERE.

Thanks for stopping by everyone! Betty and the gals will be back soon for another Timeless Tuesday Challenge!!
