Jennifer, lovely card maker who loves coffee very much

I am 47 years old, married to my college sweetheart, mom to 3 wonderful sons - 2 of whom are in college and the 3rd as I mentioned is a sr. in high school. we live in our little Ohio village in a home that is almost 150 years old, hence my love of all things vintage! we are kept company by 2 labrador retrievers who have no idea they are dogs. I am somewhat ..... ahem.... addicted to coffee, but can name over 100 Starbuck's locations in 3 nearby states off the top of my head. I prefer to think of myself as just a happy little coffee drinker, but some don't share my 'enthusiasm' quite the same way.... poor souls! tee hee! hubby is a pastor and director of a Christian Camp. He was a golf professional for over 25 years before leaving to go into ministry. I love pink, vintage embellies, lace & trims, buttons, more pink, decorative papers such as Basic Grey, a bit more pink please, and pretty Prima flowers.

Lyndsey, the ribbon and flower within

My name is Lyndsey, I am 33 years old and live in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, UK with my ever patient husband Richard and our 2 gorgeous kids Oliver & Abigail & our little pet rabbit Lilly. I am a SAHM as my daughter has Cystic Fibrosis so I am her carer. She was diagnosed at 2 days old after having a blockage in her bowels and had to undergo a life saving operation. Our days are filled with routines of Medication & Physio and we have regular trips to hospital with her.  For a while I used to own a little craft & wool shop but had to close it down in Sept 2011 after just 2 years due to numerous reasons. I have sort of been card making for about 9 years in total, but really took it up 6 years ago after giving up my original job to look after Abigail, it gave me something to concentrate and focus on during bad times. I now currently teach Card Making & Papercrafting lessons at home 4 times a week to 28 ladies in total, which is something I really enjoy and gives me so much pleasure passing on knowledge to others. I love to use cute characters on my cards and no card is complete without a bit of ribbon and a few flowers lol!!!!

Ria, our cheerful lady

Hi, My name is Ria (born in the summer of 69 and my favourite colour is purple) I live in a small town in the Netherlands with my hubby and our puppy. I always have been a crafty girl ever since I could hold a pencil. I re-found making cards in 2007 and that was the moment I stopped making jewelry and beads with polymer clay and started my returning addiction to making cards again. I used to sculpt Polymer clay figurines like dragons and fairies so when I see a fantasy stamp I am sold hahaha. I am a cardmaking maniac and since a few months I love creating 3d creations with my Cameo.

Meet Audrey, our lovely DT Coordinator

 I am Audrey (aka Hippieaud, which is my name from Splitcoast stampers community).  I am a stay at home by profession, and a lawyer by education, but I hated practicing law, so when I began having kids, I decided to stay home with them and fortunate enough that my husband lets me:)  I have 4 children, they are 7, 9, 11 on Feb. 17 and 12.  Oldest and youngest are girls and middle 2 are boys.  My oldest daughter has Autism, which provides daily adventure here, but I am very thankful she is very high functioning - has no speech delays and can take regular schedule of classes in middle school.  I am an animal lover as well, also allergic to cats, I have 2 dogs - a shar-pei and a Belgian shepherd mix.  Here is a picture of them and my kids (our Christmas card from last year).

I have been crafting in some form or another for as long as I can remember - scrapbooking, making my own jewelry, working with batik clothing...  I fell in love with making cards about 8 years ago and have been using almost exclusively digital elements for a little over 3 years.  I love the freedom of digi images - ability to re-size, etc. and I love that the lines are always perfect.
