Happy December!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Guest Designers

I can’t believe it is already December!  This month is packed with tons of fun days on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog!

I’m so pleased to announce our December Guest Designers!  I have crowned them our Cocoa Ambassadors:

Shona B&W

Shona Chambers!

Hi everybody!! I’m so honoured to be part of the ‘Hot Cocoa Blog Hop’. I don’t drink tea or coffee (shocking I know…) but have always loved Hot Chocolate, especially with lots of marshmallows!! And to find out that there is a ‘Hot Cocoa Day’ in America is spectacular! I live in New Zealand and we are coming into Summer, so it’s always BBQ and swimming time for us at Christmas time, so not many hot drinks to be had. But have always fantasized about a white Christmas and drinking hot chocolate by a roaring fire. I really hope you join us in celebrating all hot drinks for Christmas and visit each other’s blogs to leave some love. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and thank you so much Amy for inviting me to be a part of this delicious hop!

Check out the card Shona is sharing with us for today.  She posted this for the Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop, isn’t it amazing?

KellyJean Headshot 2Next up is KellyJean Gettelfinger!

My family and close friends call me KellyJean. When people hear me talk or see my name badge, they ask where I am from. I like to make them guess. Most of the time I get TEXAS… yeehaw! Just a bit more north, I live where the south begins… in Southern Indiana.

I’ve been memory keeping for twenty years and Stampin’ Up! has held my heart for 17 of those fun and creative years.

I have been asked to demonstrate for SU! at my local Regional Seminars as well as to design for many Annual Conventions. I have served on Design Teams for Verve Stamps, Right at Home Scrapbooking, Midnight Oil Scrapbooking, Queen Kat Designs, In Style Stamps, and Triple the Sketch.

I really enjoy fun folds. I wish I had more time to explore mixed media arts. And currently I am so in love with the art of Bible Journaling.

I am a cocoa and cider connoisseur. I don’t like coffee even though I will give it a whirl any time a friend will allow my germs to sip from her cup-O. Still, I absolutely adore all coffee, tea, and cocoa images. I’m totally addicted! It’s like how most people love flower stamps or butterfly stamps or heart stamps… just give me a cup image and I’m giddy!

I like to wrap up my bio with the best part… my little family. The hub and I have been married nearly 25 years – yowza! My daughter is an artist studying at SCAD, Savannah College of Art and Design. And my funny lil guy who isn’t so lil anymore is a junior and loves all things techie.

I couldn’t be more thrilled to have had Amy ask me to be a part of this fun event! Thanks so much, Amy!!! Should any of you have any questions about where to find the cutest cocoa images (or actual cocoa, for that matter -wink), I’m your gal! Enjoy the hop!!!

Check out Kelly’s card that she is sharing with us today…it’s chock full of fun!
