Today's guest designer is a girl who makes cards that just ooze cuteness!  Her blog is such a happy place- bright colors, little critters, and fun patterned paper!  She's a participant of the Runway Inspired Challenges, and I'm so thrilled that she agreed to guest design for us!  Please let me introduce...

I'm a Mom of two little boys, a wife to an awesome hubby, a scientist, and paper-crafter. The thing that I love the most is spending quality time with my family. I got into card making a few years ago when I was introduced to clear stamps at a craft show and then my obsession with Copic markers and pretty much all things crafting followed shortly thereafter. You can see more of my work on my blog: pebbles-creativeside.blogspot.com

As you know, we received MANY incredible applications - it was so difficult to narrow down to just three designers!  After much deliberation, we are thrilled to introduce you to...


 In keeping with our Runway Inspired tradition, each girl will introduce herself AND share a favorite article of clothing or accessory.  This gives us a little glimpse of their personal style- I love it! :)




Hi everyone! I'm Taheerah and I can't tell you how excited, thrilled, honoured and privileged I am to be joining the Runway Inspired Challenge DT! I still can't believe I'm here writing these words!! 

I'm a 30-plus-a-few Londoner now living in the North West of England with my beautiful cats. I work in IT by day and craft by night! I love all things geeky - having a background in science and working in my profession I guess that can't be avoided! I've always been creative but stamping and cardmaking have truly captured my heart and my imagination. I love experimenting with most styles and am definitely a huge lover of trends. I really thrive on pushing my skills and creative eye to the limit, so my work is frequently packed with techniques, outside-the-box uses of product, and clever details! My fashion sense is eccentric and quirky, mixing patterns, colours and styles to create something that is perfectly 'me' - and my shoes always draw attention wherever I go!!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------



Hey y'all! My name's Kristen Foreman. I have lived in a few different states from FL to WA and now San Diego, CA. I am happily married with our German Shepherds, Bree and Brody. I am a Registered Nurse and work at one of the hospitals here in SD! I enjoy spending time with my husband and friends. I started paper crafting about a year ago and I have quite the collection of supplies in my craft room. :) My favorite article of clothing would have to be sweaters. I LOVE them. It stinks it's a tad warm in San Diego--I don't get to wear them often. I hope you'll enjoy my creations!

Hello, I'm Mayuri (or Flubidoo) and I'm so excited to be part of the Runway Inspired Design Team for 2014! I'm a Graphic Designer turned Project Manager working in a design agency by day, but becoming an avid crafter by night. My style of card-making ranges from clean and simple through to arty, textural and experimental. I have had a huge passion for all things art and craft from a young age, when my Mum taught me to knit and I made my first scarf! The crafting / blogging community has had a huge influence on my card-making over the last year and there is so much inspiration out there already – I hope I too can be equally inspiring and encourage you all to play along!


I hope you give these ladies the warm welcome that they deserve. We are so happy to have them on board!
