One night after work, I got a call from Judi and Arlana. They told me they had just the right image for me to use the next time SATURATED CANARY was our sponsor. They were so right. We had such a good time
reminiscing about growning up and our adventures in High School and such. My first year in High School was at a brand new school. We were called the "Viewmont Vikings". Art was my favorite class and we had a contest that year to submit a drawing for the school emblem. My drawing won. I was so honored and excited that my drawing was picked.
The school emblem was later designed into the floor of the entry way at our school.
Judi and Arlana thought it was very fitting that I use the image:
"Vickie The Viking". It is such a cute image and has brought back so many fun memories of High School.......Go Vikings!!!!!

My
name is Krista Smith. I am the artist behind the Etsy shop, Saturated Canary
Digis. I began working in the stamping world about a year ago when I was
hired to create rubber designs for the sweet Scottish company, Sugar
Nellie. They launched my artwork under the name 'Simply Sassy.' I moved into
the digital world just this past month (it's been a super busy month, indeed!).
And-- I love it!! There is a little more freedom here, as I can create
anything that pops into my head:)! I am so humbled by the artistic talent of the
girls coloring in my designs-- it is truly an inspiration! Likewise, I am so
thankful for the friendships I've made in this wonderful and lovely crafty
community! It's been a true delight! I'd love for you to stop by my
challenge/inspiration blog, Saturated Canary Challenge and join in the
fun...And, while you're there, click over to my personal blog (Saturated
Canary) and introduce yourself! I am a bit eclectic and touch on everything
from family (I've got me a great one!) to fashion (obsessed!)...Please say
