Introducing RRD's New Design Team Coordinator!

Every good Design Team has a great DT Coordinator - someone who organizes, challenges and inspires the Team to creativity.

Red Rubber Designs has the privilege to announce our first Coordinator for our inaugural Design Team: Sarah Hemphill.

Sarah has always crafted in one form or another and has an affinity for stamping. Her design style brings elegance and timeless beauty to every project she creates.

Sarah is the driving force behind developing our Design Team program and is hard at work on our current DT call. She will soon become involved here on the blog and on our Facebook page as well. Meanwhile, please pay her blog a visit at http://vintagefigments.blogspot.com/.

Please help me welcome Sarah to the Red Rubber Designs Team!
