Hello and welcome to a new week! We are starting a new Design Team series and I am kicking it off today. For our latest posts, we thought it would be nice to give you an introduction/reintroduction of the Design Team members with a fun twist of their favorite color combo(s) to use when creating.

Q1: Tell us more about you, your family and where you live.

A: I’m Thanh and I’m the DT Coordinator of Your Next Stamp. I’m currently residing in the suburbs of Vancouver, BC, Canada. I live with my fiancé in our apartment and we’re both very busy planning our upcoming wedding. It will probably be the biggest party we’ll throw and because we’re on a budget, we’re doing a lot of DIY (or should I say DIO?). I’m looking forward to the coming months, but boy, I’m not going to lie – planning a wedding is a LOT of work!

Q2: When did you join the Team at Your Next Stamp? 

A: I was introduced to YNS by my good friend, Peggy, and I had the opportunity to guest design for YNS in July 2012. I then joined the Team as a regular contributor starting January 2013. In July 2014, I took on the role of coordinating the Design Team.

Q3: What are your favorite Your Next Stamp images?

A: Ooooo! This is a hard one for me as I have many, but my absolute favorites that I can think of right away are: Thanks a Latte, Oh, Jam It! and Silly Monsters. These particular images are just so darn cute! If you follow my blog, I’m quite motivated by coffee and tea. I also love putting faces on images and personifying everything! The Monsters are just adorable and are perfect for masculine and feminine occasions. I love stamp sets where they have a lot of versatility.

 Q4: What are your favorite color combos? 

A: My favorite colors change with the season, but you’ll always see me gravitating towards bright and bold or soft pastels. While I don’t wear a lot of pink, I make  a lot of pink cards! My favorite color also happens to be teal/turquoise. Lately, I’ve also been enjoying the black/white and gold combo and that’s what I decided to share with you today. Black/white and gold is a classic combo and yet, it’s right on par with being trendy right now, too!

EEK! I love this little Cupid in the Lovestruck set and wanted to make sure I made a couple more cards with him for Valentine’s Day and so I chose to my favorite color combo (of today. As I said, it changes frequently).

Here’s a close up of the delicious gumdrops that YNS carries! Seriously, if you are into enamel dots, the YNS dots are perfect! They come in four different sizes and the glittery ones are oh so perfect to jazz up any project. The gumdrops I used for this card are the Gold Nugget color.

Here are all the different images in the Lovestruck set:

What do you think of black/white and gold? Are you loving the trend or so over it? Would love to hear your thoughts! If you’d like to see more projects made with this cupid cutie, you can head on over to our Pinterest page.

Julie will be next up on our DT series post so make sure you drop in next Monday to see what her favorite color combos are. Thanks for dropping by today.  Thanh
