Guest Designer :: Annette Allen :: Under the Sea

Hello Everyone!

Are you packing up to head somewhere fun for 

Memorial Day Weekend?

Well, before you do, we have an exciting announcement to make!

I know we're all super sad about our decision to discontinue the Market Fresh Kits.

Our Market Fresh girls put their hearts and souls into each project they created for us.

That's why we couldn't even dream of letting 

JINNY NEWLIN go too easily, we asked if she'd stay as a

Market Street Stamps Designer and she said YES!

We are SUPER thrilled and so happy to welcome her aboard!

Yay Jinny!!! Please stop by her bloggity blog and leave a little MSS LOVE!

*****************

Today I'm also SO happy to share Annette Allen's second guest post for the month. Annette won our Block Party in April and was kind enough to create TWO projects this month. 

Be sure to check out Annette's other project HERE and get the inside scoop on this sweet girl!

Here's what Annette shared about this insanely cute card:

I was totally inspired by the Under the Sea stamps. The card is based around the stamps, I had to use them all on one card.  These stamps are so fun I knew I had to make them pop with color and added a little accents to the eyes.  With just a hint of designer paper in the back.  The stamps are the card…I hope you enjoy.

If you LOVED Annette's card (which I know I do!!), please do go leave her a little love on her BLOG or here in the comments!

Thank you SO SO much for being our guest designer this month, Annette! We ADORE you and welcome you back anytime!!

Have a wonderful holiday weekend everyone!

Thank you to our Service Men and Women - you (and your families) make the ultimate sacrifice and I am forever grateful!

Guest Designer :: Annette Allen :: Milk It

Good Morning Everyone! Angelica here, and I'm THRILLED to share a post by our May Guest Designer, Annette Allen! 

I had the pleasure of meeting Annette at CHA in January of this year, and she is a sweetheart! I so wish we had a photo together, but she is someone you don't forget. Very kind, big smile, and so genuine. It is my pleasure to share her first project for May with you all today! Thanks for being our guest, Annette! 

******************************

Hi my name is Annette Allen and I live for and love the Lord.  I am a born again Christian.  I am a wife to an amazing Christian man and have been married for 17 years.  I have two dogs (Curtis and Lola)...my children.  

I have been crafting since 1997, I was invited to a Stamp-in-Up party when we lived in Germany.  My husband was in the Air Force.  My first impression was…why would anyone want to make their own cards?  Then I saw what you could do and I was totally addicted within the hour ,and it has been non-stop since. I love to stamp.  It is my passion and I can't get enough.  Most of my cards are donated and a few are mailed to special friends and family members.  

I feel so blessed, God has giving me a way to put smiles on peoples faces with my cards.  I look forward to new friendship.  Thank you for the opportunity to share today.  I hope you enjoy. 

I was inspired by these cute little Milk Jugs from "For All it's Worth".  I wanted to create a fun and refreshing card.  I stamped the images add a little glitter and glossy accents.

I love to layer images and these were perfect for that.  I also layered the sentiment…which I totally love.  I hope you enjoy.
