INTRODUCING PENNY BLACK DESIGNER, KELLEY EUBANKS!

Hello… I am Kelley Eubanks. I live in Mount Juliet, TN, which is about 20 miles outside of Nashville. My husband, Michael, is the Pastor of Students at our church. We have been married for 13 years. We have a 5 year old son, Carver, who we think is the best little boy in the world! When Carver was born, we made the decision that I would be a stay at home mom/wife! I feel like I am living my dream job!

My passion for card making started when I attended my first workshop about 4 years ago and I haven’t looked back since! I am blessed to have had several projects published since that time – the majority of them in Paper Crafts magazine. I have been blogging for 3 years. I am thrilled to be joining the Penny Black Design Team! There is so much talent on this team and it is an honor to be joining them!

Now for Kelley’s interpretation of today’s card sketch;
