It's such a pleasure. Well done everyone who guessed correctly from the sneak peek :)
Here's a few words from Shari.

I am the Creative Director/Product Manager for Simon Says Stamp. I am fortunate to have joined the Simon family in June of 2013 where I design stamps, stencils, dies and Flair all for sale in the Simon Says Stamp store.
I create monthly journal Art journal pages which are captured in full process/time laps video. I can be found on the Simon Says Stamp Blog every Tuesday with card inspiration and brand recognition and on the Simon You Tube channel where I create Quick Tip videos.
Previous to joining Simon Says Stamp, I was a designer for Hero Arts Rubber Stamps Inc for 24 years.
Also, three cheers for our Month Long Guest Designer! In fact, TWO of them! Amy Tsuruta and Tenia Nelson - big welcome, sweet girls!
It just keeps getting better, doesn't it? We can't wait to share all the awesomeness in store for this month. Starting with...
