Karla DudleyThis month, in recognition of our site’s opening, we’ve decided to combine December Advent with a fun “Get to Know Our Designers” event. Each day, you’ll get a chance to learn about one of the amazing members of our Design Team.

It’s Day Eight, and today you get toย learn more about our very own Karla Dudley. She’s got an hand-drawn artisticย design style that we know you will adore, and her products are known for the color combinations and illustrations and handwritten word art that is uniquely Karla. ๐Ÿ™‚

 

5 FUN FACTS

  1. I was a competitive cheerleader from 7th grade through college and turned down an offer to be in the first Bring it On movie because of school (my coach at the time made the routines in the movie ^_^ ).
  2. I have two sets of back-to-back twins that were both born full term with no complications (thank you Godโ€ฆ blessed).
  3. I can sing real well but have yet to sing to anyone. Iโ€™m always overheard lol! …Iโ€™m paralyzingly shy.
  4. I’ve been inside the Statue of Liberty. Right up her booty! Yep, it was rad!
  5. I believe in unicorns.

5 FAVORITE THINGS

  1. Artโ€ฆ all kinds. Digital, watercolour, graphic, photography, color, bands, plays… anything. Just give it to me!
  2. Crocheting. Love this as a hobby. Good Stuff!
  3. Video Games. Mario, Bayonetta, Kingdom Hearts… love it all!
  4. Horror Movies. The bloodier the better. I’m also addicted to the dark.
  5. Child of the 80’s. Love everything about it. The dress, the music especially. My childhood was nothing but magic ^_^

    when i first discovered Karla’s design, i had been hooked by one of her LO, “Resolution”. I lifted her , feeling captivated by that perfect clean page. Scrapping with Karla’s kits, it’s like giving thanks… It’s authentic and evident… Hope our roads will cross many many times in scrap world. Good luck in this new shop…
