Soaring into 2013 With A New Designer

 Hello everyone. I hope you're all having a great New Year so far. With a New Year comes many new adventures. We at A Jillian Vance Design are excited to announce that one of our customers and friends is embarking on a new adventure with us!! We are adding Annette Witherspoon to our design team. Annette blogs at www.aspoonfullofsugarcrafts.blogspot.com, which is a play on her name. A is the first letter of her first name, and Spoon is the last half of her last name. Prior to joining A Jillian Vance Design, Annette designed for Pink by Design Stamps, Frosted Designs challenge blog, Joy’s Life Stamps, and just finished a three-month term as a Stampendous Blogstar. She also wrote for ScrapStreet Magazine, an online scrapbooking and papercrafting magazine.Welcome, Annette!

Happy New Year!!! Let's hope that 2013 brings us a lot of luck! So far, the year is starting off with a new adventure and I hope I can "rise" to the occasion! I am thrilled to be designing for A Jillian Vance Design. I look forward to making new friends and sharing inspirational projects with you!

To honor this momentous occasion, I made a surprise pop-up card using AJVD stamps (of course). The cute balloon is from the set Whimsical Journey and the sentiment is from Mini Whimsical Balloons.  I chose the sentiment because I thought it was appropriate for the occasion.
