Challenge ##241: Winter Sparkle

Welcome to another Sentimental Sunday!

It's the first day back since our break and we are excited to be coming out of hibernation!  Just before our last challenge, we had lost all of our contact information; so sponsors and our winners were not able to get contacted.  I believe we have since then fixed (fingers crossed) the problem.  Winners will all be posted on Wednesday and you will have 2 weeks to contact me to claim your prize. 

With old business put to the side, let's open up the floor to NEW business!!
Are you excited for 2015?  We have a line up of great sponsors for you this year!!
I want to quickly take a second and say a little goodbye....
Sentimental Sundays said farewell to three amazing ladies in 2014. 
These amazing ladies are heading for new beginnings and wonderful changes for 2015 and we wish them all the very best.

 

Today though, we are welcoming Amanda(AJ) to the Sentimental Sundays family.  I think you will agree, once you see her work, she is a perfect fit for us here.  She has just started blogging too, so please help us give her a warm "Sentimental Sundays" hug and become her follower...  I promise you will want to be her friend!!  :)   Now a little about our new member....

"My name is Amanda, but everyone that knows me in real life calls me AJ. I'm a Wisconsin native, Go Packers!, but have lived in the Carolinas for ten years now with my husband, teenaged son and 2 rescue pups. My husband and I run a business together, which allows me to work from home. I've been crafty my entire life, as a kid there were no pages left uncolored in my coloring books. I've been into just about every crafty genre at one time or another, including wreath making, tole painting, cross stitch, you name it! I have the leftover supplies of years gone by to prove it! In 1999 I was introduced to scrapbooking, which from there evolved into cardmaking. For years I enjoyed social papercrafting. I didn't own many of my own supplies, I just made a card from a kit that was provided at some sort of soiree. Then a few years ago, I was gifted with a Big Shot and discovered Copic markers not long after. Papercrafting has gone from a minor indulgence to an every day obsession! My style is somewhere between CAS and everything but the kitchen sink. I'm a mediumalist who enjoys colors and layers and just enough bling to make it all come together! Thank you Nazeema, I am so excited to be joining Sentimental Sundays as a design team member. I'm overwhelmed by the talent here and am looking forward to playing along in these creative challenges!"
