Do you remember the lovely card last week? You'll see the gifted woman behind it. We take pleasure welcoming:

Heidi Downey

Here's a short info about Heidi:

My name is Heidi Downey and I was so excited to hear my card has been chosen. I started cardmaking about a year ago, which I guess is ironic as I always declared that I “don’t do cards…” And now I regularly participate in card challenge blogs, own an online stamp shop and am a guest DT. I love challenge blogs, they really inspire/motivate me to create and Card Patterns certainly tops the list. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of the team this week, I certainly had a blast with the sketch this week (with a little pressure thrown in for good measure).

And another gorgeous card from Heidi. You can visit her blog HERE for more inspiration.


I would like the world to know how proud I am of these designers. They keep on surprising me, not only with their keen eye for creating but also their 110% support and help. I'm fortunate to be surrounded with great people like these guy and gals.

Here are the artistic expressions of our team.
