Meet Sarah!

The last crafty gal on our Runway is Sarah Jay!

Sarah's blog is Criminal Grace

And here's a bit about her, in her own words:

  • I'm Sarah Jay: web developer, mother, and wife by day, paper crafter by night. I live in Southern New Hampshire with my husband and an insanely active toddler. I work full time maintaining web sites for an IT solutions provider, so late night crafting sessions are the way I unwind and let out some of my creative energy. I've been paper crafting and stamping since the turn of the century, and have recently had the thrill of seeing my work published.

I'd love for you to welcome Sarah by leaving her a comment here and on her blog!

------------------------------------------------------

So...how did you do? Did you guess the DT correctly? Here's a recap of the official line-up:


I told you it was going to be the best team around! The winner of our game will be announced on Monday, along with the random commenter/follower winner from this post (you still have until Sunday to comment!)

I'm so excited for our premier challenge on Tuesday, December 6th! We'll see you there!

Meet Agnieszka!

Up next is Agnieszka Malyszek!

Aga's blog is Just Made From Paper

Here's a bit about her, in her own words:

  • Hi! My name is Agnieszka Malyszek but I go by my short name Aga. I work in an IT Company that operates in the shipping market and cardmaking is my relaxing hobby in my spare time. I started my papercrafting adventure by making cards for my friends and family and sharing my creations with others is still what I enjoy most about it. I like to keep my cards clean and simple, however I'm always willing to go out of my box and learn something new. A lot of my inspiration comes from interior and fashion magazines so I am very excited to be a part of this new challenge blog and I look forward to working alongside such a talented group of designers!


Please welcome Aga to the team by leaving her a comment here, and on her blog!

Our last mystery designer will be revealed tomorrow!
