I love creating everything from cards, to layouts, to altered items! :) It's a great stress reliever and fun to do after a long day! I currently serve on several design teams and have been published in numerous magazines. You can find more of my work on my blog: www.moralia.wordpress.com I'm a new fan of Card Patterns and am so glad I found them! The sketches are always unique and fun to work with!! Thanks for having me ladies"!

Here is Carla's stunning card. Filled with such great details and colors that makes you want summer to arrive.

The Design Team keeps on impressing me week by week with their gorgeous eye for details and spin on the sketch! I find it so inspiring to look at their cards.
