We have an amazing guest designer joining us this week.  If you know Paper Crafts Magazine, you definitely know her.  She's got a fun and funky style that is hard to resist.  Of course, I'm talking about....

Teri Anderson!

Hi! I'm Teri! I'm a card maker who got into it by way of scrapbooking. 

I'm a Go-to Gal, as well as a Contributing Editor, for Paper Crafts magazine, which is just a fancy way of saying I get a few projects in the magazine every once in awhile. :) I'm also the Online Coordinator for Technique Tuesday. I manage their design team, help with their social media stuff and even design a few stamps! 

When I'm not doing crafty things, I'm hanging out with my family and friends, pampering my fluffy dog, going to concerts, planning my next road trip and signing up for 5Ks.

Welcome back to the Runway, my friends!  Since July had a 5th Tuesday, we posted the winners last week. Go check it out to see the awesome winning project!

For this challenge, the Runway Inspired design team is participating in an amazing event with Penny Black called Penny Black Plays along!

I am so thrilled that we can be a part of the very first Penny Black Plays Along event!  Not only do we have excitement over here, but you'll find more inspiration at the Penny Black blog and Penny Black Facebook page!  I heard that there might be a special Facebook giveaway so go head on over to their page and "like" them!

Each member of the Penny Black design team has made 2 cards based on the inspiration image below from Zac Posen- I'll be sharing one from each designer here, but you'll have to visit their blog all this week to see the others :)

Let's get rolling! 

Our projects feature stamps from our generous sponsor, Penny Black :)
