Meet the Design Team!

OK, I know I said I would post the Laughing Lola card kit yesterday, but I decided I had a full product comparison I wanted to do, so I think that's waiting until next week so I have time to get ALL of the details correct.  But I DO have an awesome post to keep you occupied today - I want to introduce you to my 1st-ever brand-spanking-new Design Team!!  These ladies are going to help me keep you inspired all month long for the next 6 months.

I can't wait to see what they do with the Close To My Heart products I sent to them to work with (plus any other products they want to add). But until they are ready to share, check out their stories and go visit their blogs! They'll post their projects on their own blog each month, and I will notify you here so you're sure not to miss it.  Now without further ado, here are the 3 members of my first-ever Design Team:

Hi my name is Lisa, I have been an avid papercrafter for the last 15 years. My first love is creating layouts for my family's many albums, but I am also very involved in sharing my love of papercrafts through my church's card ministry and teaching papercrafting to children and women in various settings. I love inspiring others to adopt this meaningful life long hobby! I am excited to be part of Lori's team and look forward to sharing my work with you! You can find more of my work on my blog: My Creative Endeavors (http://createdbylisa.blogspot.com)

 Hi, I'm Mandie and I've been a scrapbooker/papercrafter for the last 7 1/2 years. I was given a basket of scrapbook supplies at my first daughter's baby shower and I haven't looked back since! I love learning new things and there is always something new in the papercraft industry! I am a Certified Paper ED instructor and I am an Intermediate Certified Copic Instructor as well. I love sharing my paper passion with others and am grooming my Girl Scout troop to preserve their memories as well! I have been using Close to My Heart papers and stamps almost since I began scrapbooking and I love the on-trend designs that are still timeless for my scrapbooks. I'm so excited to be on Lori's team and hope you will come check out more of my work on my Blog: http://mandiesscrappin.blogspot.com

My name is Amber Rasmussen, I am 29 and I live in Florence, Arizona with my High School sweetheart Jason. We have been together for 14 years now and have a cute little dog named Lexis and a black cat named Pookie. I have been scrapbooking/papercrafting for about 8 years. I started with paper embroidery but now I create everything from cards, to 12x12 layouts and mini albums. I am an avid cardmaker and scrapbooker and like to explore different styles but if I had to describe my crating style I would say its Clean & Simple but Fun & Cute. There isn't a material or technique I won't try at least once! Visit my blog at http://sew-ink.blogspot.com/
