GDT - Kristen Hermanny

Well, today is another brilliant day for Guest Designers! Kristen Hermanny is going to show us how to creat a very cool project that is versatile and easily altered for many occassions. A very special door hanger, with a very special message.

I asked Kristen to give us some information about herself and here is what she had to say...

I am bluntly honest, yet a very good friend!

I love mixing the papers. I also love knowing that people love receiving the cards I make.

Tools that I can not live without are my crop-a-dile. And my Scor Pal.

I'm not a patient crafter. Anything that I have to wait for... if it has to dry overnight, or at least a few hours, I don’t like that.

Inspiration is something I get when I people watch!

When it comes to colors,  I love sage and lavender. I also like brown and sage. I love green and anything together, I would have to say.

As far as a crafting style goes... I go through transitions all the time, I think I have a definite style, but I don’t know what to call it. Arty-eclectic maybe? I tend to keep the recipient in mind most of the time.

I love to take classes, and plan on taking quite a few this coming year. I would like to get recognized for my digi-stamps someday, I am thinking of going back to school and do something with my creative self.

I like the camaraderie that goes on at DCRU's DT Blog. All the artists, design team, and people becoming friends through their love of creativity. I also love the variance of all the styles. There is inspiration at every corner!!!

I do, I work with Compassionate Cards out of Gig Harbor, Washington. Each month there is a new mission and Julie (the wonderful woman who runs the program) sends the cards out to a designated site. One month it was a group called Still Someone. All the cards went to elderly people that do not get visitors. This month the cards are going to a domestic violence center in New York City. http://compassionatecards.blogspot.com// is her link.

Here is Kristen's tutorial:

Isn't that a really neat project and I love her theme..."Summer in Winter Bar-B-Q". I think we could all use a little summer right now. Thanks so much Kristen for sharing this tutorial with us and for all the time you put into it.
