Becca Cruger

Guest:  Kevin Bray
Kevin's style screams CASawesome (it can be a word if I want it to). He always seems to know how to use minimalism to pack a BIG design punch. I first "met" him on Instagram and I love following his creativity. Like me, he also lives right on the border of ND/MN! 

Carol Mayne

Guest:  Bev Buenker
I’m thrilled to have one of *the* darlings of the crafting community as my special guest for this celebration:  Bev of Happy Dance blog fame. Most of know this sweetheart, with her cards that delight, a personality that invites and welcomes, and comments that encourage, motivate and inspire. The best part about my friendship with Bev is that we met, in her home city, in July 2015! Like old friends reuniting, we enjoyed a few far-too-short hours, chatting up a storm, comfortable and delighting in one another’s company. We already love her from her blog, but in real life...WOW!  She’s touched and enriched many of our lives; she is, in a word, a treasure!  I’m proud to count her as one of my besties! 

Jeanne Jachna

Karren Johnson

Guest:  Jen Mitchell

I've worked on a design team with Jen for almost 4 years and admired her work long before that.  She has a classic and clean style, but with clever touches which make her cards stand out.  As well as being a superb card-maker, she is also a wonderful person with a great sense of humor and willingness to help and I hope that one day we can meet in person.  I'm so glad Jen agreed to be my guest for this challenge.

Linda Callahan

Guest:  Amy Koenders

I first met Amy Koenders a few years ago when she was just starting in the stamping world.  But her energy, enthusiasm and talent for stamping was obvious!  She has a clean style and a great eye for design and color. Her blog is full of inspiration! She is an accomplished Stampin' Up! demonstrator and is now ranked 9th in the US out of over 40,000 demos!  I am happy to call her my friend and am delighted she is joining us this week as a guest!

Michelle Leone

Guest: Karen Walker
I am happy to have Karen play along with us for this very first Fusion Challenge of 2018! She is not only a phenomenal inspiration re: all things creative (stamping, photography, etc.), but is also a selfless volunteer and skillful organizer - all qualities that I quite admire. I am delighted to call her my friend (IRL!) and am so excited that she is joining us as a GD!

Michelle Lupton

Guest:  Linda Trace
I met my friend, Linda, back in 2012 in blogland (but in person in 2013). Have you ever met someone and felt like you've been friends forever? Yep, that. But then she moved to the other side of the country - booo! I love her style - she can move from cute to elegant to artsy with ease. I'm so glad she is my guest today!
