Pat will be posting her first Belli card for the next challenge on June 6th!

Pat Kuzenko

Hi, my name is Pat Kuzenko, otherwise known as Pat K. on my blog and pat33 on SCS.  I live in Ontario, Canada and am thrilled to be a Belle of the Belli Guest Designer.  Thank you so very much.   I’m a wife, mother, MIL, and “Nanny” to 5 grandchildren whom I adore.  I was fortunate enough to take early retirement from my job (it was so getting in the way of my crafting).  I began scrapbooking 7 years ago but soon found card making was my passion.   When I start a card, I usually color the image first and then look for matching papers – a bit backwards I know but when you’re addicted to paper it’s not a problem!

You can see her winning card HERE! Read a little more about Julie and see the sweet card she created for our current challenge!

Julie Blakeman

My name is Julie B, I’m married with three lovely teenage children who keep me very busy making cards for all their friends birthdays. I’m addicted to Crafting and have been making cards for around fifteen years though I couldn’t possibly share any of my early creations, that would be far too embarrassing.  My family are very supportive of my crafting and understand my need to create, I’m a lucky girlie! I’m rather chuffed to have been chosen as a Belle of The Belli Guest designer.

Belle of the Belli - Patty Gorka

CLICK HERE TO ENTER FOR THE BLOG CANDY!! 

We would like to introduce our next Belle of the Belli - Patty Gorka. Patty's beautiful creation for Belli Challenge #138 - Sketch won her this Guest Designing spot for the Belli Challenge. You can see her winning card HERE! Read a little more about Patty and see the sweet card she created for our current challenge!

Patty Gorka

My name is Patty Gorka and some of you may know me as LaLatty from Splitcoast Stampers.  Patty ‘LaLatty’ was a nickname my husband gave me over 10 years ago and it just sort of stuck with me.  My paper crafting began about eight years ago when I was invited to a stamping party and I’ve been creating cards ever since.  I live in Mountain Top, PA with my three children ages, 17, 7 and 3.  I also have a Beabull puppy (Beagle/Bulldog mix) named Bella.  I’m blessed to be a stay at home mother which gives me some time for stamping when I’m not chasing after kids! I’m really excited to have been chosen as a Belle of the Belli Guest Designer, thank you for having me!
