Hi ladies; my name is Lisa Elton and I would like to thank you for visiting my blog and considering me for your design team. As you've asked I'll tell you just a bit about myself. I am a stay at home wife, devoted to my loving husband and officially head over heals for my sweet little mini Schnauzer Max! My greatest treasure is our son and his sweet as can be wife. I thank God everyday for the many blessings in my life.
My former occupation was a floral designer. I owned my own florist for a few years and taught floral design courses at a local university and craft store. Several years ago my husband gave me the gift of stamping classes for my birthday and I've been hooked ever since! While looking at stamp companies on the Internet I discovered stamping blogs. Imagine that...others sharing their works of paper art! Hey maybe this was for me! And that's where My Paper Tales began. I've included three cards as requested; I hope you enjoy them!
This card has special meaning because my son bought this stamp for me and the paper along with the ribbon is from his wedding. I stamped then used sugar beads on the image.
This is one of my favorites from my cute card group. I actually had a commenter tell me she had pinned this card, that was a thrill for me!!
Being part of a design team would be a dream come true for me. When toying with the idea of starting my blog I told my sister in law I thought it would be THE dream job to design cards to share! Have someone say use this stamp, these colors or that sketch and come up with a little piece of art. Throw in some polka dots and a touch of bling and I'm one happy girl!
Thank you so much for popping in ~Lisa
All of these cards are wonderful Lisa! Good luck! You would make a wonderful asset to any DT!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely FABULOUS Lisa! I love your cards and keep my fingers crossed for you - you'd be a wonderful addition to their team!

ReplyDeleteOH, Lisa, best of luck! I love the ladies on the Paper Players team, and I think you'd fit in quite nicely.
ReplyDeleteI like the three cards you chose, especially the elegant black and white and red one. I think it must've been such a feather in your cap to have someone say they pinned your card, too!
LOL, Lisa.....I have seen your pretty picture popping up lately! We are so glad you're trying out, and these are simply lovely. The first one is gorgeously elegant, but the last one just reminds me of my DGD....what a cute little imp! Thanks for sharing these with us. The suspense is torturing me, waiting to see who will be our next guest designers!!!
