July 2011 Guest Designer

Cleota Murrell

My name is Cleota. I live in Middle Tennessee with my husband and three kids. I've crafted all my life. It's my Momma's fault!! She started me out making Christmas ornaments when I was in elementary school - some of which I still have and decorate our tree with every year. I've tried everything; Cross-stitch, knitting, scrapbooking, rubbering stamp and now digital stamps and card making! I started my blog in February 2010 and have had a blast meeting new friends and gaining inspiration from many talented ladies. I've been fortunate to be on a few design teams and I am currently a co-coordinator for one that specializes in guy images. My craft room is always a mess. I have a few supplies that I always go to; my Copics, Cuttlebug, Nesties, and ribbon. I like to challenge myself and try to think outside the box a lot. I hope I've instilled a crafty side in my kids and that they also say it's my fault!
