Good Friday morning. I am so happy and honored to announce that I am being introduced today, along with Heather Campbell as a new member of the CLASSroom design team. I was thrilled to be invited to join Ellen and her creative designers, Julie Ebersole, Sharon Harnist and Julia Stainton. I have been inspired by them all for years.
If you would like to get all the details about my Christmas scene and see some step by step photos of how I mounted the staircase and colored my kitties then come join me in the CLASSroom. Before you go be sure and leave a comment on my blog to qualify for a $25 store credit. You will be happy to know there is another opportunity to win a $25 store credit in the CLASSoom.
Kittie, you are such an amazing inspiration!! Especially love your kittie cats on this card!

Kittie, I love these Christmas scenes and I still need the 5 kitties die, so I can use the gift certificate! This is kind of embarrassing, but I thought you were already part of the Classroom DT! What's up with Ellen? How can she be so behind the obvious? LOL! Congratulations for an overdue recognition -- and you can tell her I said so! You've single handedly doubled the size of my die collection -- and introduced me to several new companies!
