Welcome back and thanks for joining us on this lovely first Saturday of June! Thank you to everyone who stops by week after week. And a big "Hi" to those of you joining us for the first time!

Jean Martin: Stampin' Scrapper

"Hi my name is Jean Martin, I live in Long Island, New York. I'm originally from the Philippines and I came here in 2008 to marry my best friend. Ren and I have been married for 2 years and 8 months now. We are owned by 3 cats who keep us very busy. I started blogging and card making early in January of last year. I began with scrapbooking, but it didn't keep me interested for long. Card making just got me hooked permanently. I started joining challenges online and was lucky enough to have been asked to be a part of the DT of some of the best challenge sites in blogland. I'm totally enjoying my new hobby and I hope to be doing so for a long, long time."

And here is Jean's gorgeous take on the sketch:
