Give A Warm Welcome To Our May Kit

Guest Designer Rae Barthel

1. Tell us a little about yourself. 

I am originally from Chicago, but now reside with my family of five in Huntsville, Alabama. I started paper crafting about 10 years ago and have loved every second of this hobby! My work has appeared in Paper Crafts magazine, and Cards Idea book series, as well as some online publications. I also held the title of Paper Crafts Gallery Idol, that was a fun one!!  I am currently designing for BasicGrey, Anna Griffin, and Got Sketch?  I am a huge fan of patterned paper, so working with this kit was a treat!!
 

2. Where do you find your inspiration?
I love perusing galleries like 2peas, thumbing through magazines, and of course Pinterest!

3. What is your favorite dessert?

Eli's cheesecake, hands down!

4. If you could do anything without any consequences, what would it be?

Travel the world on someone else's dime. 

5. Three words that best describe your personality. 
Analytical, Witty, and Thorough

We also asked Rae to share her space with us. I just love being inspired by others crafty spaces. 

My scraproom desk is an 8 foot banquet table  - We rarely have guests, so I have converted the guest bedroom into my scrappy space.

My 'secret' .... I have completely taken over the guest bedroom closet! Yes, I have paper craft supply hoarding tendencies... you are likely to find stuff from 2006 in there!!

Thank you Rae for contributing your wonderful designs with us.  Visit Rae Barthel's blog for additional inspiration.
