Kim Richardson

Hi, my name is Kim and I'm honored to be ABC's guest DT member this week! Thank you Patty and team!

 I've been scrapping for over 10 years and seriously making cards for about 5.  I grew up in Minneapolis MN and moved to rural MN about 8 years ago.  I have 2 small kiddos who keep me on my toes daily (4yrs and 18 mos).  When they are napping and when my house is quiet at night you can most likely find me in scrapbooking room.

 If you'd like to see more of my work, visit my blog at

Thank you so much, Kim!  Remember, there's still time to play along, the linky collection will remain open until Sunday 12 noon EST and to enter your card in our challenge please see the post below.  Have a great day!
