It is always difficult to say goodbye to old friends but at the same time it can be exciting to watch new chapters unfold. I am writing today to say a fond farewell to Kim Hughes. She has decided to step down from her design team position with us to persue some new adventures. Kim holds a special place in my heart as an adventurous stamper who is never scared to experiment and try new things with her paper crafting supplies. I know that wherever her road takes her that she will find much success and fullfillment. Myself and the entire team wish her all the best and I hope you will be sure to stop by her blog today and give her your best as well. I know I am not alone in saying that I will be keeping up to date with her latest projects on her blog and continue to always leave inspired.
With Kim's departure comes a new arrival to our team. The uber talented Jessica Witty will now be a memeber of our Design Team and contributing to our monthly releases. If you don't already enjoy the projects she has published in Paper Crafts magazine as a Paper Crafts Go-To Gal, then you might remember her as one of our Guest Designers back in December of 2009. Her clean & hip style has always been so inspiring to me and I just know that you will be waiting with baited breath to see what she will do each month with the new releases. Her first projects with us will be appearing during the December release, so you don't have too long to wait. Be sure to give her a warm Papertrey welcome to the team!
Woo Hoo! Am I the first to respond?? I’m soooo excited to see Jessica on the team. Congrats, sweet friend! Your talent is going to be an inspiration to us all. Best wishes, to Kim. I hope your path is leading you somewhere wonderful!
I will miss your signature style with a Papertrey spin. I will check in on your blog often for continued inspiration.
On the other hand, welcome Jessica! Looking forward to seeing your designs!

While sad to say good-bye to Kim, Jessica is a great addition to the PTI team. Not only do I love her design style, but she is one of the wittiest bloggers I have ever read. So looking forward to monthly contributions from her.

Congratulations, Jessica! Love your style. Farewell, but not goodbye, to Kim, whom I sure we will be seeing TONS of everywhere!
Hello Nichole,
There is a typo by Jessica’s picture. It reads “Welome” but I think it should be “Welcome” ;-).
Please, remove this comment, once you read it.
Kim, whatever you’ve touched has always turned to gold and you know how much I adore you!
Jessica, welcome to the PTI DT! I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
I’m sad to see Kim go, but thrilled to have Jessica joining the team! LOVE her work!
I love Jessica’s stuff! I’ve been following her since her guest appearance here on your blog! She’s so “Witty!” 😉 Congrats!
Love them both!!!
Best wishes Kim. I hope we see more of your cute stamp designs somewhere soon.
I can’t wait to see what things Jess will bring. The queen of (brackets) and 10 minute challenges. Should be fun.
Good luck Kim, welcome Jess hope you will be as inspiring as Kim.
Nicole you get the best folks for you design team! Best of luck to Kim, and a warm welcome to Jess.
Welcome aboard – and a sad farewell!
