GUEST DESIGNER -- MARGIE CORTINA

" Hello everyone :) My name is Margie, I am a SAHM to two lil boys, Nick and Matt, married to my Dino for almost 7 years; and we live on Long Island with our pup, Miley Rose, and a bird named Nemo (yes, he's a bird, lol!) I have been creating cards for almost 2 years now - I am completely addicted to my digi-images, stamps and Copics!!! My inspiration comes from my fellow crafty friends and bloggers and of course, paper!!! I am a true paperholic, I cannot have enough! I collect 6x6 pads! Love them! and after choosing my image, they are my go-to for my next step in getting my creative juices flowing ;)

I am so happy to be Guest-ing for Sew Many Cards today! I love their new lil boy-inspired images, Owen is my fave! Thank you, Jeri for letting me be a part of today's challenge :) "

Hi Everyone, my name is Stitchy and I create under the name Stitchy Stamps...I have been creating digital images for designers for almost a year now and try to learn something new everyday...I started out in paint shop pro about 8 years ago and started making digital scrap kits...then I was introduced to the wonderful world of paper crafts and card designing...like I said, learning new everyday, the rest is history...I can't draw enough to keep me satisfied anymore lol...
Living in a small town in upstate New York, tucked away where cable doesn't even go...friends are far and few between...But being on the internet for the past 10 years, I have gathered quite a few from around the world...Just like I learn something new everyday, I also try to meet someone new every day too...
Thank you Angela and Company for allowing me to sponsor for you...I am truly honored...
