Exciting Announcement & BLOG CANDY!

Hello Stampers and welcome to my blog! I am Melissa Davies and I am beyond excited to be part of the Create with Connie and Mary Design Team!


For this Edition, I will be sharing duties and alternating weeks with Carrie, who you met yesterday. Wasn’t her organizer fantastic?! What a fun and creative way to stay organized! It makes a great gift for the holidays, don’t you think?

Speaking of the Holidays, doesn’t it seam that they sneak up on us a little sooner every year? It just so happens that my card for today features the same stamp set Carrie used for her project yesterday – Everything Eleanor. This stamp set is quickly becoming one of my top “fav’s”! When you pair it with Carrie’s project, not only do you get a bigger “bang for your buck”, but you can get a head-start on your Holiday gift-giving, too! YOU’RE WELCOME! :o)
