It's Challenge Time! (#47)

Hello all!  I hope you had a great summer, and as the leaves start to turn on the trees and there's just a bit more chill in the air, it's time to think ahead to the fall and of course Back To School !  That is the theme for this week's challenge!  We want to see your best Back to School creations.  You have until 12:00AM EST on Wednesday September 15th to upload your project using the link below for a chance to win this week's images. We would love for you to use an image from AiFactory but you don't have to.  Although you'll want to check out the awesome freebies that we have in the store for you to choose from. Make sure that if you are uploading from an online gallery that you mark your project AIF#47 so that we can find it easily.

Introducing our New DT Member Kristy!

Hi everyone!  Meet our newest DT member Kristy Ketterlin!

 Here's a little about Kristy! I am married to the love of my life who supports me in all that I do. We have 3 wonderful daughters, Sadie-13, Zoey-10, and Hannah-2. When I am not busy watching my girls play softball, ride their horses or participating in school functions, I enjoy making cards, polymer clay buttons for embellishments, hairbows, cooking, camping and doing anything with my family.  I have owned 2 restaraunts with my mom and have also owned a catering company. Now I am a SAHM and enjoy every minute of it! I am very excited to be a part of the AiFactory team and can't wait to get started.  My blog: www.kuttinkards.blogspot.com

Meet New DT Member Cathy

Allow me to introduce to you our new DT Member Cathy Thompson.

Hello! I am a stay at home mom to an almost 4 year old son, who is about to start playschool, and an 8 month old baby girl. I love paper crafting and began with scrapbooking and cardmaking. I always saw people investing in stamps, and swore I would never be one to stamp. Little did I know I would become obsessed with rubber, acrylic and digital stamps. I love to colour with all kinds of mediums, and have a blast doing all sorts of fun things with images!!  I am excited to be on the DT and I look forward to seeing all your great projects as you join us each week for challenges!

Meet our New DT Member Renee

Here's what Renee O'Neill had to say about herself!

Hello everyone! A bit about me, I'm married with a 15 yr old daughter, a 2 yr old Alaskan Malamute dog and a 8 yr old cat, who thinks she's a princess.  We live in a very small town in TX with about 1000 people in it.  I'm originally from CT.  I've been doing some form or another of crafts since 1995 when my daughter was born.  First I started painting designs on her clothes, then in 1996 I went to woodworking.  In the spring of 2005, I started having back problems.  Most of the time I couldn't do anything but sit on the couch, so I taught myself how to crochet.  I did that for a few years, then went to scrap booking and card making during the summer of 2008 because the arthritis in my hands got too bad.  I love doing this.  It's probably one of my favorite things to do, although  I still dabble my other crafts.  I'm extremely excited about being a DT member.  I can't wait to get started.
