A little about Kendra.


I am a wife of 6 years to a wonderful man, and mother to two cool kids! Although I am quite new to the blogging world, I am not new to the stamping world! I have been rubber stamping for almost 8 years. I got started when a family member was a Stampin' Up demonstrator, and I haven't stopped since! My primary crafting interests are Stampscapes, Stampin' Up, and I am slowly building up my Magnolia collection. This is my first DT spot and I am honored to be working with such a talented group!

Today we would like you to meet Linda Lapotka. You can see some of Linda's beautiful work at her blog Cards by Linda. Please give her a warm welcome!


Here is a little bit about Linda


Hello, I am a first grade teacher who is retiring at the end of this school year, after 30 years of teaching. I have been making paper crafts for a long time. A little over a year ago, I started making cards and was completely swept away. I love all the paper, gadgets, techniques and the endless possibilities associated with the art of card making. I am very excited to be apart of Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Design Team and look forward to this new adventure.

Today we will continue with our introductions of the new design team. So please welcome Amanda Bodine! You can see her beautiful work here at Amanda's Crafts and More.

Today lets meet Moriah Macdonald. Please give her a warm welcome and you can visit Moriah at her blog Fuzzy Slippers Designs.


Hi! My name is Moriah. Although I've lived in NY, SD, and SC, I currently reside outside Boston in MA's apple orchard country with my fabulous (and artistic) husband, our loyal (can't-fetch-to-save-his-life) corgi Cadfael, and a fabulous (give-me-the-catnip-and-nobody-gets-hurt) kitty Amy. I love all kinds of crafting and have been an avid crafter since I was a child. My mom thought it might keep me from playing with her tools and supplies if taught me how to use everything properly. I've been stamping since the late 90's when a friend talked me into taking classes so we could make our own Christmas cards and the rest was history. I started teaching classes to friends and coworkers about 5 years ago and have managed to lure many friends into the stamping addiction!

Today we are introducing you to Tineke Kosik. Please give her a welcome and you can visit Tineke's blog HERE.



Hello,
My name is Tineke Kosik. I was born in the Netherlands but I am living in Spain for several years now. I am married for 13 years with my husband who is a great support in what I do. We are living in a small mountain village called Felix in Southern Spain (Andalucía). We have a great view over the mountains and the Mediterranean Sea, and this gives me a lot of inspiration.

I can say that I have be creating things my whole life. My mother taught me how to make things out of paper rolls, boxes, etc. Later, when I was 11 years old, I started with card making. Pergamano and 3D were my favorite techniques. Last year, in June, I started to make scrap cards, stamping and digital stamps. Before that time, I never knew that there were challenges and Design teams and now I am going to be part of one and I am very proud of it! Also, I started to give workshops to people who are interested in the card making. To be in a Design team and to give my own workshops is like a dream come through. I hope my other dream to have a little (internet) shop will also come through! Never stop dreaming, because dreams come through ones in a while.

Warm greetings,
Tineke

For the rest of this week and next we will be introducing you one at a time to the new design team members. So please stop by and learn a little about each of these talented ladies.

Today we would like you to meet Nicole Anderson. Please give her a warm welcome and check out her blog Gotta Have Paper!



HELLO! My name is Nicole Anderson (Mrs Nickel on SCS) and I live in Jasper, Indiana. I am a work-at-home, remarried mom of four children (20, 8, 7 and 5)! From college to pre-school, these kiddos keep me on my toes and make life crazy, but it is worth it! About my artsy fartsy self: My passion for art and crafts began as a child with pom-pom animals and macramé. Since then, I have enjoyed cross-stitch, crochet, beading, and other art mediums. I began falling in love with paper about four years ago when one of my girlfriends introduced me to scrapbooking. Soon thereafter I found card-making and that was it!

My love for Copics and digital images is pretty obvious on my blog, but I still have a hankin' for rubber and clear stamps! And, did I mention I am a ribbon addict? Please visit my blog, GottaHavePaper, to get to know a bit more about me, see my craft room and also so I can get to know you! I love being inspired by other artists and crafters from around the world! So be sure to comment so I can check out your blog, too!

Huge {HUGS} and Many THANKS to Regina for allowing me this awesome opportunity to design for Stamp, Scrap and Doodle Saturdays!!
