Happy July! The year is going by so quickly! I’m here to start the Design Team introductions…Let’s get started!
Founder of the Coffee Lovers blog hop, Coffee Loving Cardmaker’s blog + Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group…I am mom to a always changing, loving and very funny little gal. I am wife to a fun and supportive husband. With them I have learnt a billion new things and continue to do so everyday. Without them I probably would not be sitting in a beautiful craft room surrounded by piles of paper. I am a Sr. Software Engineer at a very awesome company. This girl is proud to be a geek and a woman in tech! Engineering was my first hobby and will always be one of my hobbies!
But in late 2010 I took up another hobby – papercrafting! Amateur art always fascinated me and I dabbled in it often. From creating Rangoli designs for festivals in India to making cards occasionally for friends and family, I always enjoyed creating ever since I can remember. But I started my papercrafting journey seriously in late 2010 with selling cards to raise money for Asha, a local non-profit.
That transformed into a full blown addiction over the years. It is hard to remember exactly when and how I graduated from a box of paper and some decorative scissors to a whole room filled with paper, stamps, gadgets like my Cameo and other goodies to help me create.
Till date, I have participated in swaps, been on design teams, taken lots of classes, played in challenges and tried my hand at various techniques. I enjoy every minute of it! From this hobby I have stayed in touch with family and friends. And I have gained some very talented new friends!
Founder of the Coffee Lovers blog hop, Coffee Loving Cardmaker’s blog + Coffee Loving Papercrafters FB group…I’m a momma to 2 college kids…one that goes to the University of Washington (Go Huskies!) and the other that goes to college in New York City. I’m engaged to an awesome guy that absolutely encourages craftiness. I’m lucky because he builds airplanes for a hobby so flying in our airplane has become another hobby for me. I work part time for a biotech company in Seattle.
It seems like I’ve always been crafty but it all started when I discovered Stampin’ Up in about 2003. From there, I found Splitcoaststampers, which is still an awesome resource. I started my blog in November of 2007 (my photography skills have certainly changed!) and had no idea how much blogging would become a large part of my life. It seems like more people are moving away from blogging and just focusing on FB and IG but I love my Feedly and my daily inspiration! I still love to comment as much as possible.
I’m super thankful + grateful for my current and previous design teams. I learn so much from each experience. The number of friends that I’ve meet, in person or online, is amazing. I love our Paper Crafting Community!
Stay tuned for more Design Team Introductions next week!
