Anthea McConachy

Here's a little info about Anthea:
My name is Anthea McConachy and I live in Victoria, Australia. I've been crafting for as long as I can remember, and scrapbooking/card making for the last few years. I was so excited to have my card chosen, thank you!

Please go check out Anthea's BLOG for more inspiration. You will not be disappointed!

The team created more this week only for all of you! Our sketch this week was designed by our very own Carla Peicheff.

Here's Anthea's gorgeous spin on the sketch. Don't you just love those little truck & car pattern she used? The combination of all the colors and patterns with all the little details just rocked it! (click on pictures to enlarge)

As mentioned earlier, the team didn't just make cards this week but we also used Shortcuts Gift Card Holder Folders! These are so useful and perfect for any occasion. It will match your card really well.
