profile: I'm very excited to be joining today's challenge as a Guest Designer - I enjoyed the challenge of making a card using the optional colours.  I've been a card maker for many years and love my stamps, digi stamps, Promarkers and patterned papers.  I work full time in a care home as an Activities Coordinator - crafting is my way of relaxing and de-stressing!  I also love the social side of crafting - getting together with friends to craft and meeting people online too.

profile = Hi, I'm Vicki, and honored to be guest designing for Heart's Quest.  I've been an avid crafter since my youth many years ago.  Paper crafting is my favorite hobby, but I also enjoy crocheting, reading and gardening.  My style is eclectic with both scrapbooking and cards.  I love inks and other media but my true love is using die cuts on my projects.  I am the owner of A Cut Above, Die Cut Challenge Blog and getting ready to celebrate the two year anniversary since it's start. I'd be delighted if you would stop on over and play along with the monthly challenges.  Many thanks to Rebecca for having me as a Guest Designer at Heart's Quest
