Designer Wednesday

I AM SO EXCITED TO WRITE THIS POST!!

Ok, sorry for all the yelling, but I've been holding this in for a long time! Today I'm starting our Guest Designer series. Once a month I will ask someone to be a Guest Design Team member. January's Guest designer is the incredibly talented (not to mention sweet and ultra thrift-tastic) Christina Clouse!

I've been a blog stalker of Christina's for the past several years. When I was still working at Lasting Memories she walked in one Saturday and I had a small freak out. I wanted to be like "uh, hello!?! Don't you know who that is? Why isn't anyone else freaking out?" Thank goodness she didn't think I was a stage 5 creeper when she got to the counter and I said something awkward like "um, I totally know who you are. I read your blog..." I was much less crazy when I saw her after that, and no doubt she's one of the sweetest people I have ever met.

Christina's projects blew me away! Her style is full of layers, vintage elements, lots of distressing and tons of texture! I could go on, but I think her talent speaks for itself! Enjoy!

Created with the Merry Mustache buttons

Do you see the baker's twine? And the inking around the buttons? swoon!
Used the Merry set of buttons

Love the paint and folded fans! Used the Spooky buttons.

For this amazing mini album Christina used the Vintage Lace buttons. I love the stitching and crackle paint. So gorgeous!! Thank you soo much Christina for participating!

And of course I also have some beautiful projects from DT member Stacey as well!

I love the guinea feathers! Used the Hello Kitty buttons

The sea shells are epic! All the layers on this are so incredible!

I hope you guys know that seeing your creativity makes me insanely happy. Even if it isn't scrapbook related! If you have any projects you want featured using Such Sweet Tierney products be sure to add them to the flickr pool!
