Okay okay...it's not working right?
But wait....we're all about the sunshine today! No cloudy skies here!
Designer Kristen Swain is proudly proclaiming her love of the sun and you know I'm right there with her! Her glittery, bright card will have you dashing for your sunglasses.

We'd like to share with you a bit more about our Guest Designer....Mandy Starner!
My name is Mandy Starner, most call me MandyKay or just Mk.
I live in Maryland with my wonderful and supportive husband, our 3 beautiful daughters, and our 2 crazy dogs. I love to spend as much time as possible making, baking, painting, learning, smiling, and laughing. I eat way too much chocolate and I never get enough sleep.
I collect owls and typewriters. I love thunderstorms and Tootsie Pops. I am a little bit vintage and a little bit modern, a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. I have been fortunate enough to have my work published in CARDS, Scrapbook Trends, Paper Crafts, Create magazine, and Page Maps2 by: Becky Fleck. I have been doing make and takes at my local scrapbook store for a couple of years now, and I just recently started teaching as well. I can be found at my scrapbook desk just about every free minute of the day(not that there are many between housework, sports, dinner, and errands).
It’s a good thing that I am a night owl, because the wee hours of the morning are my most creative hours of the day. Scrapboking and cardmaking have been quite and obsession of mine for about 8 years now.
I love to share my creations and ideas with others and I am so excited to have the chance to be a guest designer for Glue Arts!
