Salutations! It's Michele here or as most of you know me, by belle. I reside in Canton, MI and was born and raised in the area but lived in California from 1990-2006. San Francisco for 3 years and the rest in Los Angeles. I now work for a local company that was just named one of Michigan's top 50 companies to watch. When I am not working I am either crafting or romping around with my nieces, 3 and 5 years old. I get creative in many different ways...paper crafting of all kinds, altered art, jewelry, sewing, baking; if it involves being creative I want to be doing it. Oh, and I absolutely LOVE shopping!! It is my de-stresser, I can sniff out a bargain a mile away. I am extremely honored to have been selected for the Crop Chocolate design team and am looking forward to working with all the great people at Crop Chocolate and the rest of the amazingly talented ladies on the design team!! As my niece would say... ready, set, GO!!
FAVORITE PROJECT WITH CC:
Amber asked us when we were trying out for the design team, 'what inspires you?' Among other things Malibu sunsets are a great inspiration to me, the colors alone... So when one of our first focus group challenges was inspired by a beautiful sunset, well, how perfect for me! I have this project framed and hanging by my bed so it is the first and last thing I see each day. And while I really love most of my projects to date using Crop Chocolate product, this is by far my FAVORITE! Thanks Brantley!!
**side note from Amber - Brantley inspired one of the FG monthly challenges because he didn't understand why I would get so excited over paper. He decided that if the FG could make him excited about a sunset, he wouldn't make fun of me anymore. And they did. :)**
