I'm proud to announce the very first Red Velvet Kit Club Design Team to you all. Each of their unique styles will show you a few of the creative ways to break into your stash and inspire you with new techniques and challenges. These three ladies have recently been highlighted on a major scrapbooking network and can be found with their hand in a few other scrap piles each month. They turn out lovely work time and time again and I'm so happy to have them with us. Without further ado, here they are:
Marie Ramirez
I am a stay at home mom with 4 children, 1 soul
mate 1 Year ago it was about one layout a month, now I scrapbook at least
15 a month. I finally figured it was time to start using the stuff I
bought instead of hoarding it.
I became addicted to scrapbooking when my Mother in Law passed away. She
was the kindest, sweetest, loving woman I have ever met in my life. My
children were very young. I wanted them to remember her like I did and I
didn’t want to forget a single thing about the awesome mother,
grandmother, person that she was. What better way to convey that then in
scrapbooking. So here I am! Just one more thing she brought to my life
that I love.
Michelle Clement
I love vintage trims, indie flicks, my orange LP record journal, Adele, worn jeans, chipped black nailpolish, monsters, bright colors, blankets, cafe mocha, antique shopping, old books, Etsy, collecting seashells, notebooks, sand between my toes, pirates, sleeping in, picnics, dark chocolate, creating, a pile of new photos, nature walks.
Theresa Koback
I love sunny days, red sofas, flip flops, rainbows, my daughters, polka dots, white roses, Orbit gum, Grey’s Anatomy, flea markets, a full night’s sleep, strawberry daiquiris, girl’s night out, Kawaii goodies and shopping.
Apart from our regular Design Team, we're going to continue to invite a Guest Designer to share their style.
I'm thrilled to announce that Kara Haupt is this month's Guest Designer. She's a unique soul and has such a fresh style. She is one of my new favorite scrap artists. 
Feel free to leave some happy DT love to these ladies in the comment section below and you'll be entered to win a fun giveaway. SHHHHH (its a June Paper Kit!) If you are picked and are a subscriber, you'll get that month comped. Be sure to leave your full name so we don't give your gift to someone else!
We still have a few more Paper and Project Kits left in the Etsy Shop. I appreciate your response to the clearance sale and available kits today. THANKS.
Big kiss on both cheeks!
