Lisa Henke, My Little Creative Escape

I'm Lisa Henke. I grew up in Michigan and followed my hubby (then boyfriend) back to his hometown of Cincinnati, OH 15 years ago. I've been married to Tim for 13 years now and we have three beautiful, smart, crazy, athletic, wild boys. Yep, I'm a boy mom! It's rarely quiet around here and if there isn't a ball being kicked, thrown, or bounced then I better be worried. lol! I've been blessed to be able to stay home with my guys while they were babes and this year is the first time I have all three in full day school together (1st, 4th, and 6th grades). Last year, I did start a little part time job as a Pre-school aid, so I get out two mornings a week to earn a little "fun" money and hang with little people. When I'm not working, driving to a practice, cooking, or cleaning, you'll find me down in my craft room re-charging my sanity and getting my girly fix. I ♥ stamping! I've been stamping for what seems like forever now...11+ years. It was love at first stamp! I have had the privilege to work with some pretty fantastic companies and I"m super excited to begin working with the super talented crew from Curtain Call.

We are over the moon to have you with us, Lisa!

Be sure to come back on Tuesday for a new challenge and to see Lisa's first card with us, 

along with cards from the rest of the design team!

I absolutely love Amy's textured background and all of the beautiful patterns and dimensional embellishments - all while keeping a gorgeous CAS look!

Amy's card is amazing! I love all the white space, mix of papers, and fabulous use of the modeling paste. Lots of visual interest, and yet still has a clean feel to it. Beautiful!

Amy's clustering and use of texture always amazes me! Gorgeous!

I really love the texture, layering, the mix of patterns and white space is fantastic on Amy's card. My vote goes to her.

Amy's beautiful pattern choices and layering create such a whimsical and dreamy card!

Amy wows me with per perfect layering and use of open space!

Amy's card is fabulous with all the details but still feeling CAS. Love it!
