Julie Blakeman

My name is Julie B, I’m married with three lovely teenage children who keep me very busy making cards for all their friends birthdays. I’m addicted to Crafting and have been making cards for around fifteen years though I couldn’t possibly share any of my early creations, that would be far too embarrassing.  My family are very supportive of my crafting and understand my need to create, I’m a lucky girlie! I’m rather chuffed to have been chosen as a Belle of The Belli Guest designer.

We would like to introduce our next Belle of the Belli - Patty Gorka. Patty's beautiful creation for Belli Challenge #138 - Sketch won her this Guest Designing spot for the Belli Challenge. You can see her winning card HERE! Read a little more about Patty and see the sweet card she created for our current challenge!

Patty Gorka

My name is Patty Gorka and some of you may know me as LaLatty from Splitcoast Stampers.  Patty ‘LaLatty’ was a nickname my husband gave me over 10 years ago and it just sort of stuck with me.  My paper crafting began about eight years ago when I was invited to a stamping party and I’ve been creating cards ever since.  I live in Mountain Top, PA with my three children ages, 17, 7 and 3.  I also have a Beabull puppy (Beagle/Bulldog mix) named Bella.  I’m blessed to be a stay at home mother which gives me some time for stamping when I’m not chasing after kids! I’m really excited to have been chosen as a Belle of the Belli Guest Designer, thank you for having me!

Belle of the Belli - Cat Darling

We would like to introduce our next Belle of the Belli - Cat Darling.  Cat's beautiful creation for Belli Challenge #136 - Hearts/Valentine won her this Guest Designing spot for the Belli Challenge. You can see her winning card HERE! Read a little more about Cat and see her cute card she created for our current challenge!

Cat Darling

Hi! My name is Cat Darling, and I am thrilled to be a Belle of the Belli Guest Designer! I chose to make a two sided easel card for this week's challenge. Can you find my three shapes? The base of the card is a rectangle. The sentiment is placed on an oval, and the images are on circles. The images are from Pixie Dust Studio. The rabbit is "Peter the Rabbit" from the Egg Hunt Collection. The two eggs were borrowed from the image "Bunny Walter" from the Bunny Tales Collection. The sentiment is from Digital Delights.

The card was made with an 8"x 8" piece of CS. It was scored in half. and then in half again down to the score line. I then cut on the score line and stopped where it ended at the center of the card. Then score lines were made diagonally, and the flaps were folded toward the center. Then circles were glued to the flaps.(See photo) 

I am a wife, mother, and grandmother with two sons, two daughters, one DIL, and one SIL. I have two adorable grandchildren that I am just crazy about! Another grandchild is on the way and will arrive this summer. I'm lucky to be married to the love of my life who encourages my craftiness. I have been artistically inclined all my life having majored in Art in college, and I taught Art for several years. About eight years ago I started scrapbooking which then led to cardmaking. I have been hooked ever since.
