    Love seeing all your card creations. I’ve been a card maker for about ten years but mostly with scrapbook paper products, stickers, washi, etc…have not ventured into the stamping world until early in 2019. I still find it a bit overwhelming and quite often don’t really know what I’m doing, but I’m having fun.

    Thanks for the opportunity to win and thanks for sharing all your ideas and creations. Happy new year Cathy!

    Your designs are so unique, I just love your crazy puns, snarky comments, its something we’ve needed in the card making world for a long time. I can’t get enough, and the cards that I make with your stamps seem to get the most reaction, but let’s face it, I have some quirky friends.

    I love your card designs. I have similar products to the thankful card and love CP inks and blending so I’m going to have a go at this one. I really like the watercolor card and am trying to incorporate watercolor into my cardmaking but I need a lot if practice so I’ll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I found you years ago because of your ‘bee video’. It is so cool watching you flourish in this space! This community definitely needed some Cathy Z!

    Happy New year Cathy! Looks like I missed your window, I had read on the magazines site that it was open until the 10th, but I’ve had a houseful of guests and had many parties and missed it all! Love everything you do, wishing you a most wonderful New Year!
