The Design Team

LINDA

Hi everyone, I'm Linda, 28 years old and a teacher in primaryschool for 3 days. Since july 2016 I started my own Remedial Teaching practice aswell to make it a fulltime job.

I've been crafting since I was a little girl. My granny showed and learned me all kinds of techniques.
I've started with 3D cards, painting, drawing, to knit, crochet etc. But the card making kept my first priority.
Since januari 2012 I started to make scrapcards with stamped images. I love to work with certain brands. Marianne Design is my favorite but I also love to work with digi's.
I have experience in design teams since 2012 and still enjoying being on this fab design team!
I also have my own blog: http://stampscrapandsmile.blogspot.nl I hope to see you there aswell.

THERESE

Hi, my name is Therese Engström and I'm a 42 years young girl ;-)

I live on an island called Hönö outside Gothenburg in Sweden with my husband and two sons, who are 18 and 20 years old. We love cats, so we have five of them and one dog.

Been crafting all my life and I discovered cardmaking ten years ago, have been addicted to it ever since. You will know me as Tesan when I participates in different card challenges, but when I design I do it under the name "Theng Creation". Most of my designs I sell to family, friends or at different fairs. On my own blog "Tesan´s Inspiration" you will find out more what I like to do <3

JESSICA

I am a happily married, mother of 2, from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Canada.  I am a full-time homemaker & stay at home mom.  I have a passion for crafting!  I started stamping about 10 years ago after I was invited to join a stamping club and I have been hooked ever since!  I do teach cardmaking & scrapbooking classes each month out of my home and my cards are sold locally at multiple locations.  I have recently started dabbling in mixed media & sewing as well.  I am so excited to be on the Design Team & can’t wait to share my creations with you!

MARY

Since the age of 8 I have knitted, embroidered and sewn. The amount of time spent on these hobbies reduced when I had children, but 3 years ago I retired (from teaching mathematics) and began making cards for the family. This then developed into making cards requested by  neighbours and four months ago I began my own blog and hence entered into the world of paper challenges!
