December Guest Designer - Tina Hale

We've got a new Guest Designer for the month of December - it's Tina Hale!

You can check out her blog here: Wooded Views

Tina's cards caught my eye not too long ago and I HAD to have her as a guest designer - when you see all the cards she's created to show y'all this month you'll see why!!

Each Monday throughout December I will be Spotlighting Tina - having a few questions and answers, posting samples and links to her creations on her blog - so be sure to keep checking back here!

........................................................................................................................

Here are a few Q&A's to start off:

Name:

 Tina Hale

Significant Other/Children/Pets:

I have a husband of 10 years, Duke. Together we have a 7 year old son, Cody. We adopted a dog from the Animal Shelter over the summer, her name is Cupcake.

Where are you from?

 I am originally from Illinois, the Chicago area. I moved to Cosby, Tennessee about 18 years ago. I love the area and the people and can't think about ever living somewhere else. We are just 25 minutes from The Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Youʼve been stamping for:

 Just over a year, although I have always been somewhat crafty, dabbling in several things before finding my joy for stamping.

You were introduced to stamping by:

 Gosh, I really don't remember. But, in the spring of last year, I discovered Stampin' Up and went to a party. Needless to say, I haven't looked back.

.............................................................................................................

Here are some samples from Tina to start off her month as Guest Designer:

Isn't this adorable? I love her coloring (she used CC Designs Little Penguins set) and the added bling is a perfect touch :o)

I love how Tina used the small die from the Nestabilities Labels 1 set for the bra image (from Amy's Boutique stamp set) - it makes it stand out more!

Tina used the Labels die (a larger one this time) on this card too - but this time with the Monkey Love set - again it's just too cute!

Don't forget to keep checking bach each Monday during December for our Monsay Spotlight posts with Tina!! :)

December Previews Winter Bear Blog Candy Giveaway.......

This set almost wasn't. I had the Sugarplum sets drawn and at the plater, and figured I was done for Decembers sets. I was looking through my drawings and came across Bear with Snowman. So I added some accessories, mittens and the snowmen and showed them to the Design Team as a digi download set.

They loved the set so much that they wanted it made into rubber stamps, and I agreed. I think this set ranks up there as one of my favorites.

I asked the 2009 Design Team ladies if they would like to help and they emailed me some of the most fabulous creations, and the regular Design Team rocked this set too.

You ready to see?
