...in her own words...

Hi everyone! My name is Jess Larsen. I am a 23 year old papercrafter, with a love of all things stamps and ink. I am absolutely thrilled to be joining the Market Street Stamps Design Team!

Let me tell you a little about myself! I am currently the editor of a small newspaper. I love my day job. It involves a lot of talking to people, writing and design work — three of my favorite things! I have a great husband who is super supportive and my best friend. We have two adorable cats who always keep us entertained. In my free time, I can usually be found creating in my craft studio. I have been crafting ever since I was little, and it is the always the most relaxing and enjoyable way to spend my time. When I'm not crafting, I love spending time with family and friends, camping, watching good movies and t.v. shows and playing guitar.
I cannot wait to share my work with everyone and get to know everyone better! Thanks so much for having me!


Stop by and visit Jess at her blog Jess Larsen Design
Don't miss her amazing videos- she's a pro!

Design Team Reveal #5!

HI! Are you all still with us! We hope you're enjoying our full day of fun! LOTS of exciting stuff happening here at Market Street Stamps!! Now it's time for our next introduction!

This designer has a beautiful clean and simple style that beautifully showcases her amazing use of color! She really knows how to make a stamp shine and her blog is a fresh, fun place to find a wealth of inspiration! She's a super sweet and super talented lady!


...in her own words...

Hi everyone! My name is Amy Kolling and live in Topeka, Kansas. I have been married to my husband for 15 years and have 2 kids. My son is starting 4th grade and my daughter will be starting a new venture this fall herself: Kindergarten! So my "nest" of sorts will be empty here in just a few weeks! 

 I work full time for a large dialysis clinic as a dialysis charge nurse but have been a nurse for 15+ years. My stamping career started when I decided I wanted to do more than scrapbooking. So I hosted a Stampin' Up "party" and it was that single event that made me never look back! I later found a local stamping company and became a demonstrator where I was given the opportunity to design for their catalogue! That was a dream! 

 Through that company, I met some of my best friends who truly understand me and this crazy hobby called stamping!! Papercrafting has been a hobby of mine now for some time and I still get giddy when I get new stamps to play with! I am super excited to join the Market Street Stamps Design Team!

Please stop by Amy's blog Stamp-n-Paradise and show her some love!

...in her own words...

I'm Sarah Jay: web developer, mother, and wife by day, paper crafter by night. I live in Southern New Hampshire with my husband and an insanely active toddler. I work full time maintaining web sites for an IT solutions provider, so late night crafting sessions are the way I unwind and let out some of my creative energy. I've been paper crafting and stamping since the turn of the century, and have recently had the thrill of seeing my work published.

Please visit Sarah at Criminal Grace and spend some time exploring her beautiful projects!

...in her own words....

I am a stamper!
Put a stamp in my hand, show me the ink, and I'm a happy girl!
I'm married to my best friend, mom to 2 cool little skater dudes (10 & 12) and
owned by a diva dog who is awesome except when she's rotten!
I'm happy, cheerful and a little bit zany at times.
Creating in my studio is my happy time and my mojo is
completely powered by sunshine and M & M's.
I own 2 blogs: Studio MSG and CAS-ual Fridays.
The challenge world has provided endless inspiration for me
and encouraged me to push my boundaries. 
                    Having my work published in Paper Crafts was one of the biggest highlights of my papercrafting career,
but meeting so many wonderful friends in 'blogland'
has been the greatest reward of my blogging experience.
                                 I'm jazzed, elated & blissfully delighted to be designing for 
Market Street Stamps!

Make sure you stop by Michele's blog Studio MSG to have a look at her gorgeous CAS projects!

Design Team Reveal #2!

Who's having fun? So excited about all the fun we're having today- hopefully none of you will lose your jobs checking the blog all day! LOL!

The next designer we have for you is another stunner! You might recognizer her as a Girl Friday over at the CAS-ual Friday challenge! She's also a new Private Blend Designer at The Play Date Cafe challenge!

Say hello to....
...in her own words....

I hail from Nova Scotia, Canada where I reside with my husband, daughter and three cats. By day I work in a pharmacy and by night you can find me creating away in my art room. 

I have always loved artistic hobbies and have had my hands in everything from sketching to jewelry to painting, but my true love is stamping. Card making in particular become my creative outlet because it jived with my family and work schedule. 

Card making not only fits my creative needs, but it is a good stress reliever and I am able to accomplish numerous projects in a short amount of time. Plus, giving cards to people is just as rewarding as the creative process it takes to make them, and that's why I love it!

Hi, y'all!  I'm Meg Craig from Birmingham, Alabama.  I went to my first stamping party three years ago and that “little” hobby has grown into quite the obsession. I'm a left-brain during the day teaching high school math, so I love the weekends when I can go into right-brain mode creating cards. I love all things cute, including my husband, my corgi, and otters.

Stop by Meg's blog Corgi Creations to show her some love and soak up some inspiration!
