Guest Designer: Allison Strang

Hello eCrafters, we have a wonderful treat for you all! Meet our guest designer, Allison Strang!

Allison is not only super talented, she is also a successful business owner, and the woman behind allisboutique.blogspot.com. Today, she will show us how to create some beautiful Mother's Day Blocks that would make any mommy a happy recipient!

But before we get to our tutorial, you MUST get to know the girl behind it!

My name is Allison Strang and I am the wife to Chad and the mother of 3 kids, Bella, Ethan and Kaleb. They are the joy of my life. They definitely come first and I try to do everything else I love around them. I couldn't do my crafting or work on my projects without my husband. He helps me do a lot of the cutting and sanding. Chad comes from a design background which is great because that way I can bounce all of my ideas off of him. I was born and raised in Utah and I love it here. Where else can you go snowboarding in the day and water skiing at night? I have lived in other states and traveled quite a bit. But I just couldn't imagine living without the mountains near by.

In my previous life before we started our family I was a Network Engineer for various Telecommunications companies. I loved it and I miss it sometimes. But now I put my creative energy into my crafting instead of designing large data and voice networks and I have a great time. I love doing custom items and seeing someone's face when they see the finished product. I absolutely LOVE my eCraft and I could not do any of my crafting without it. It has been the best investment I have made by far.
