I begin this post today with some sadness as I announce that this is my last Kitchen Sink Monday post. I've been privileged to be a charter member of the Kitchen Sink Design Team and have been proudly working with Maria and the other Crew Members for over 18 months. But lately, I've been feeling like it's time for a change, and so with great regret I made the difficult decision to leave the Kitchen. I have dearly loved my time with the Crew and deeply appreciate how generous Maria is to her designers, but it's time to move on.
So today my last card for Kitchen Sink Monday spells it all out.... THANKFUL. I'm so thankful for the time I've had! (Makes me want to start singing that old Carol Burnett song.... "I'm so glad we had this time together.....") And I decided to use what has become my favorite of the Kitchen Sink Stamps, the 3-Step Butterfly for my card. (The Multi-Step Tulip Garden is a close second in my favorites, but the butterfly has been with me longer!) My card also uses the Sketch for You to Try from Jen del Muro.
Be sure to check out some fabulous designs from the other Crew members today! They're sure to keep you inspired with fabulous multi-step designs for many months and years to come!
THANK YOU Maria, for the AWESOME opportunity to be one of your first designers! And thank you to all the Kitchen Sink Crew members past and present for your shared love of stamping and papercrafting and for becoming wonderful friends! It's been a great ride!
