Aloha Friday Challenge #4 - Mid-Inspiration

It's week #2 of our 4th Aloha Friday Challenge here at Kitty Bee Designs.

We'd like to introduce the final 3 members of our DT... but one of them is under the weather so we just have the 2 this week... hopefully our final member Carol will be feeling better soon!

 

Hi Guys, im Emmey and i'm super excited to be apart of the Kitty Bee team. im 28 living in the UK with my fiance and our gorgeous chocolate labrador. I love all things cute and cartoony so Kitty Bee is home from home for me!  I end up making a right mess when I craft, I started with scrapbooking many years ago but found my love in rubber and digi stamps, cards and altered projects. I have my dad to thank for being such a creative butterfly! 

 I love checking out new peoples work and drooling over their lovely creations, so feel free to come say HI! 

Hi im Katie and really pleased to be part of the Kitty Bee Team. I am 22 and live in North East Lincolnshire in the UK. I am a Paediatric Staff Nurse at my local hospital and when I am not nursing I am usually crafting or out on the hockey pitch. I live with my partner and my two kitties Beth and Alfie.

I cannot wait to work with  these super cute images.

Aloha Friday Challenge #4

Aloha no!!!  and welcome back to our Aloha Friday Challenges at Kitty Bee Designs. Can you believe this is already our 4th challenge?  

We'd like to introduce the final 3 members of Team Bees... 

Hi, I'm Katherine and I am thrilled to be part of the Kitty Bee Design Team! I have been stamping and scrap booking for about..well let's just say since the supplies began hitting my local craft stores! I love sharing my hobby with others through my blog, and have been teaching paper crafting classes and workshops since 2009. In my other life I am a Mom to 3 wonderful children and one granddaughter (a second is expected soon!) and a teacher!

Aloha! I'm Leanne and I'm beyond excited to be joining the Kitty Bee Design Team.  I was first introduced to Kitty Bee Designs when I was a member of the Lollipop Crafts team and instantly fell in love with these adorable images.  Talk about kawai-iiiii! >.<  I love making cards and the occasional 3-D project.  Looking forward to this new adventure and sharing here with the wonderful & talented ladies on Team Bees and Ruth's adorable stamps.

 

Hello my name is Shirl Nases; I live on the Big Island of Hawaii.  I’m married to the most wonderful hubby in the world.   Unfortunately I’m a SAHW (stay at home wife) or you might say lady of leisure, LOL!   I previously worked as a Dispatcher/Supervisor for a Petroleum Co on the island for 16 years until hubby said I could stay home and do the things I love and one of them is crafting.  I know, he spoils me rotten!  I’ve been crafting for several years prior but never took it really serious until I stood home.  Lots of my family and friends kept encouraging me to get my crafting show cased until I met a friend that was into blogging and introduced me to blog land.   Since then I’ve been blogging just almost 4 years now and love every moment of it.  I love anything do with paper, love learning new techniques and ideas and the best part meeting so many talented people out there.  Everyone has their own special talents and so inspiring.  I'm so thrilled to be part of Kitty Bee Design Team and working with the rest of the talented members here.  I just love the images and can't wait to show them off to you.. 

Thank you ladies for joining us and we are so happy to have rounded out our teams.  Next week we will introduce the final 3 members of our DT.

Aloha Friday Challenge #3 - Mid-Inspiration

Happy Aloha Friday!!  I'm so sorry about the belated post... I had it all scheduled but forgot to click "Publish!!"

Just popping in with some mid-challenge inspiration!  Big MAHALOS to all of you for stopping by and joining us in our fun!  We'd like to introduce you to a couple more members from our first round of invitations... we would once again like to thank everyone who applied for our DT.  

These two members are from Team Bees, and will start their "official" challenges next week. 

Hi My name is Tania ( I often go by Taniaj). I live on the Isle of Man, which is in the middle of the Irish sea between England and Ireland. I am a mum to 2 boys Josh who's 21 and at University in England studying pharmacy and Owain who is 15 and studying for his GCSEs. I have been crafting for about 8 years I love crafting, making cards and other paper projects, I also enjoy scrapbooking and I am now getting into altered art,I enjoy photography and walking when its fine. We also are owned by 3 cats.

My day job is a teaching assistant and tutor at a local high school which I love, but can be stressful, so its always nice to come home and make something. 

I am so pleased to have been asked to join the design team for Kitty Bee Designs and can't wait to play and design with their super images.

 Hugs

Hi, I'm Julie! I'm from the Midlands in the UK, although I'm originally from up North!  I've got two children who are 3 and 4 1/2.   I've been crafting for about 3 years now - originally it was to try and save money but I think we we all know how that story ends.  I also do a bit of crochet and have recently taught myself to knit!   What else? Oh yes I love baking - mmmmm!!

I'm super excited to be on the Kitty Bee design team - who wouldn't be? I love these cute images!  

Welcome ladies to the team, we are super glad to have you!!

Challenge #2 Winners!!

We want to thank everyone again for playing along Challenge #2 - Red, White & Blue.  It was so wonderful to see everyone's creations.

I just wanted to make a note here and say that unfortunately, I had to remove a handful of links from the list because they didn't follow the rules.... backlinking, linking to blogs and not posts, etc.  Please visit the "Rules & Winners" tab if you need a refresher on our rules.  As much as I want to let things slide and give people a break, I don't always have the time to hunt down entries to fix links. (If you do need to fix your link though, you can always leave a comment or shoot us an email and we will be more than happy to help out.)  And to make things fair to everyone who participates I have to be a stickler to the rules.  Thanks for understanding. 

Here is this week's winner:

Aloha Friday Challenge #3

Aloha no!!!  and welcome back to our Aloha Friday Challenges at Kitty Bee Designs. First off, we want to thank EVERYONE who applied to our Design Team Call.  There were so many incredibly talented people to choose from, we wish we could have invited you all.  Our first round of invitations went out early, and we would like to welcome 2 new members to Team Kitties.  (If you didn't get a response yet, no worries!  We still have emails to send!)

Hi, I'm MelissaO and I'm excited to design for Kitty Bee designs.  I am a stay at home mom to 4 wonderful kids, and I also do a lot of volunteer work in animal rescue.  I've been into a variety of paper arts for 18 years but it seems my very favorite thing is coloring!  I love playing with my markers bringing life to whimsical images.  I hope my Kitty Bee Designs and hope my creations will inspire you to go craft!

My name is Karal and I'm so thrilled to be designing on the Kitty Bee team.  I have been creative all my life and paper crafting is my favorite thing to do.  I started scrapbooking and stamping when my children were young, and coloring with alcohol markers is my new passion. I have a husband, 3 grown children, and 3 grand children who are the loves of my life, and all love to help, either with inspiration or get right in there and color.

Welcome ladies to the team, and now to our THIRD challenge!!
