I got two more Blogs linked on the sidebartoday, and here they are:

1) Debbie Olson – debbiedesigns. I am linking Debbie especially for my local friends and neighbors who, to my knowledge, don’t spend a lot of time reading stamping Blogs, but if you do, then you’ll know who Debbie is anyway!!! Debbie has an extremely highly rated Blog, and once you stop in to visit, you’ll see why — her work is amazing — beyond compare!!! She is a true artist – no doubt about that!!! Her Blog is full of eye candy for the cardmaker, with full and complete instructions, and links to just about anything you’ll ever need to know! And I swear, Debbie has every single product ever manufactured, and she uses them all and tells us about all of them. And the surprise part for my local friends — she is practically our neighbor — well, almost — she is less than 100 miles away — can you imagine!!! Now, you’ll have to click into herBlog and play Where’s Waldo to figure out where she’s from!!! First one (of my local friends) topost herewith her town, gets a prize!!!! Really, you do — won’t be much — but something!!! LOL!!!

2) Lauren Meader – mytime. The Artfully Asian card I posted earlier today was based on Lauren’s Sketch in the DTGD Challenges of last month. It is a fabulous sketch!!! One of the things I really love about Lauren’s work is her ability to produce such simple, yet lovelylayouts — her layering is kept to a minimum,and the end result is always very light and *floaty* — in my mind I relate her cards to butterflies — that’s what they make me think of — light, lovely and *floaty*. And I’ve known her to say she LOVES butterflies — well, the feeling of a butterfly certainly translates into her work!!! Lauren and I were both called to serve on the Dirty Dozen Design Team together. It was such a pleasure getting to know Lauren and her beautiful work!!!
