Design Team Member #5

Is ANNE:) I met Anne through the sisterhood of the blogging stampers group 25! Anne makes great cards and i am always so inspired by her! She also has great taste in music ;)

Here is her bio!!

"I'm Anne, forty-something with husband and two teenage sons. I live in Lambourn, in the UK, known as the Valley of the Racehorse.

I've been a quilter for a long time now, but nearly two years ago I took a wrong turn at a craft show and discovered stamping. Stamps, inks and papers are now a serious addiction. I love to make cards and ATCs, anything really as long as it contains stamping :).

When I'm not crafting I love to go horse racing, to garden and to ride my horse Barney (but not all at once). I am a complete anorak about the Rolling Stones and their music."

Give her some love ladies:)

HUGS

Design Team Member #4!!

Is Jessica!! Jessica was my first Bella Sistah over on the Stamping Bella yahoo group! We had a great 3 months together and will be friends for the long haul!! She rocks!! Heres her bio....

Hi, I am Jessica, I am 27 years old and I live in Gorinchem, the Netherlands. I have always loved to be crafty, whether it was making jewelry, cards or scrapbook pages. Thanks to my mom I got introduced into the world of stamping, and ever since then I loved it. I love to use Stamping Bella stamps, Stampin Up products and recently I became also addicted to the Cuttlebug & Cricut. I love trying out new techniques and using new products.

Leave her some love:)

HUGS!

Design Team Member #3!!

Sharon is one of my SBS sistahs and she rocks!!
Here is what she says about herself!!


I am an Stampin’ Up demo in the “Top End” of Australia. I have been stamping for about 17 years and I haven’t bought a greeting card for a brithday etc in all that time. I joined SU in May 2008 because I had fallen in love with everything in the catalogue. I am married to a military Chaplain and we have one daughter (11). Stamping is my passion but I love all crafts, including cross-stitch, patchwork and quilting and scrapbooking. I love to give gifts that I have made myself.

HUGS!
