Sad News

I have something I need to share with you today. I no longer work for Couture Cardstock in any capacity. I was informed two days ago that my position there no longer exists. Major financial changes within the parent company, Cardstock Warehouse, have been made, and major restructuring of Cardstock Warehouse is occurring. Despite the recent warm welcome that Couture received in the industry, the new structure is leading the company in a direction that eliminates the positions of all the former staff (Couture President CarrieAnne DeLoach included). As to the future of Couture Cardstock, I am not certain exactly how thing will develop. Questions can be directed to Cardstock Warehouse staff directly.

I want to say a special thank you to the designers that I have had the privilege of working with while at Couture Cardstock. You were a privilege to work with, and I will continue to follow all of your blogs and check out your amazing creations. I will not be at CHA this summer, and I will miss seeing all of you that have contacted me about it. Perhaps in January... :)

Alyssa, I'm so sad, but I'll say in the same breath how thrilled I am to have been part of this team even for such a short time! You all are amazing designers, and I am honored to have made these new friendships! I hope we can stay in touch! You were a blessing to me, and I'm so grateful! {{hugs}}
