WOYWW is on Fire, our NEW Torchbearer's are too!

Tonight we're rolling out our newest torchbearers.
Aren't they the cat's pajamas?!
Pam's been writing bios all day
and I've been putting together the images and the visual fixin's.
Such fun!



Here's a close-up of my workdesk right this second.
I'm plugging away on some new art for our coming sets.
These are going to be directly related to our latest challenge.
I SO SO hope you'll come back and play!

Now you can sign up for a INK-redible Challenge reminder.

. Hop on over to our new Torchbearer's lovely spaces if you can
and share the comment magic.
xoxo,
Amber & Pam
............................................................................................

And may we now introduce...
If you adored Jessie from Toy Story (the gorgeous red headed, sassy, sweet, cute, rambunctious and adventurous love of Buzz Lightyear’s life) it will be a smooth introduction to our Joey McKelvey, a London based SAHM with three extraordinarily adorable baby joey’s named Sydney (dancer extraordinaire) , Naiall (artist extraordinaire) and Ella (prettiest baby you’ve ever seen extraordinaire). She lives happily ever after with her babies and 'Buzz' aka Marts, aka her hubby. This child of the 80’s is a teacher at heart. She has already introduced us to cola cubes, pie, mash and liquor, jim jams and L’occitane hand cream. Her favorite color is green. Our Joey is a gifted colorist, whether it be with nail polish, copics or promarkers. Of course her dream was to be an artist – since she already is! She is a fellow WOYWWer!! Along with her wonderful creations you can usually spot her Jessie doll mascott lighting the way @ http://joeysworldofstuff.blogspot.com/
............................................................................................

Meg Craig describes herself as 'snarky', but you’d have to google the heck out of that word to find the true Meg Craig meaning. Honestly, she’s a high school math teacher, so ultimately it is all just a quadratic equation! It would be much easier to simply study her blog @ http://corgi-creations.blogspot.com/ and do the sudoku. You want dogs? There you will find dogs. Are we surprised that Meg’s dream growing up was to become a dog trainer? Probably not. We are sure that Addison, aka Addie, aka Addison McFaddison, aka The McFad, is pleased with that.
It is also obvious that Meg’s Cookies and Cream loving husband keeps his comic senses. When asked her worst habit he quickly responded “stealing the sheets and hogging the bed.” No wonder she says she laughs everyday! Do you want some of the best organizational pointer’s we’ve ever seen? Check it out and remember…you are never too old for Space Camp!
............................................................................................
At Amber Ink we always feel blessed. When Laurel passed the torch to Brenda Rose (actually we'd like to call her Brenda Rosebud from her precious baby photo) we thought, man oh man…this is Chanel no. 5 suhweet! BTW, Chanel no. 5, just happens to be the name of Brenda’s rescued honey colored beagle. Go figure! Lest we forget, time to mention little miss Sassy Pants, the black cat!

Brenda lives in Prairie Home Companion Country, on THAT side of the Twin cities whichever side that may be, with son Shane. He's a frequent topic of posts (can we make an appointment puhleeze) and hubs, Jerry. Her amazingly wonderful family keeps this girl going! We just can't figure where this girl gets her abundant energy! Perhaps it's the Mt. Dew or coffee frappes? We’re not sure, but whatever it is it keeps Brenda astonishingly enthusiastic. Oh and do you want to see the best bucket list/scrapbook E.V.E.R.? Check it out here or scroll down from the beginning @ http://roseblossomlegacies.blogspot.com/
...........................................................................................
If you click your ruby slippers you just may find yourself in Hutchinson Kansas. When you get there, you'll promise never to leave home again! Laurie Willison has created her own Emerald City. It's a magical place where you can while away the hours, conferrin’ with the flowers (and OH, what flowers this girl can make!) She lives with her own Professor Marvel Lynn and two little munchkins, Rylee and Brody. Instead of a dog named Toto, she has a cat named Delbert.
You will be amazed at the adventures that await you as you follow the yellow brick road through the blog Laurie started in 2007, http://soapboxcreations.blogspot.com/. The photography will make you feel like you really are over the rainbow.
.....................................................................................
Beauty abounds in the Dalles, Oregon (think Mt. St. Helens and pure Lewis and Clark), so it is ever so fitting that this is also Sue Kment country. Having survived her youth with four older brothers, Sue is the perfect blend of feminine and funny. A visit to Sue’s feels like a warm glass of milk on a cold night, whether it comes from finding the best cookie recipe, being introduced to diet forks or listening to a grandbabies laugh, this lady seems to calm us with the perfect blend of living. As a fellow WoYWWer, she pretends to have a messy desk but there is always a method to her madness, a true sign of a genius. Her work leaves us speechless and then we go back for more. You will too @ http://suesstampingstuff.blogspot.com/

Do you see the red in everyone's hair?
This will be a firey run indead!
Now run on over to Julia's to visit all the hot workdesks the eye can see!

Cute drawings, and I love the feast of fiery redhead biogs. I reckon you should offer to re-write all those dull biogs that festoon corporate websites; we'd all be much more entertained.
