Next up is our Guest Designer...


“My name is Amy and I live in northern Utah.  I am a stay at home mom to my three adorable children (ages 6, 5, and 2).  I have always had a passion for art and crafting, so when I discovered paper crafting a little over 7 years ago, it was a perfect way for me to have a creative outlet while raising my children.  I have a wonderful husband who supports my passion obsession with paper crafts and he is even excited about building me a new crafting desk this spring.

I currently design for SRM Stickers, Apron Strings Designs, and Scrapbookpal.com.  In addition to paper crafting, I love reading, cooking, baking, hiking, fishing, camping, and family history research.”

I'm super thrilled to have Amy on board...she's a busy woman...so excited to see the recent announcement of her making the SRM Stickers Design Team!

Okay, are you ready for the challenge? Here it is:
