Coffee Loving Papercrafters

Today we wrap up our Design Team announcements!  It’s been so much fun introducing all the talent, so let’s get to it, I’m thrilled to let you know that Kathy Schweinfurth has joined the team:

I’ve been married to my honey, Mark, for 21 years and we have a beautiful daughter, Danielle, who is in college (thankfully, just an hour and a half away!)  My “other” career (that actually pays the bills) is in the area of retail sales support, operations and meeting & event management.

Crafting of some sort or another has been a passion of mine since I was little.  I dabbled in a lot of things since then: drawing, knitting/crocheting, macramé, cross stitch but when stamping found me, it was love at first inking!  I attended my first Stampin Up workshop in 1997  and was so hooked that I became a demonstrator shortly thereafter (and have been one ever since). Being an equal opportunity stamper, I do love to use lots of different brands of stamps and tools which is so much fun 🙂  I’m amazed at how this industry has grown and the artistic nature of the craft has exploded. To see the work of so many amazingly talented people from all over the world is inspiring and just plain makes me happy!  While I’m pretty “old school” and still love blogging and Pinterest,  I’m hoping to expand my tech horizons to get more active on IG.  (I kid you not, the photo I took for my bio is probably the 2nd selfie I’ve ever taken and it took me 2 days   to get it somewhat right!)   It’s been fantastic to meet new people via design teams, challenges, blog hops and blog following so other social media can only mean one thing…more friends, right?!

I’m SO excited and honored to be part of Coffee Lovers Cardmaking Design Team…I keep pinching myself!  Looking forward to sharing my love of “the brew” with you!

Inspiration can be found on Kathy’s blog and you can keep connected via Facebook,  Flickr & Pinterest.

Finishing up with our announcements is the awesome, Maria Peters:

Hello Crafty Friends,

my name is Maria. I’m a German Card Maker and live with my family in beautiful Hamburg.This is a big town in northern Germany. I am married and mother of an eleven years old boy, my little sunshine.

I discovered Card Making in June 2015. Since that time Card making is my passion. It’s such a pleasure to bring a scenery (or something else) to this small space. Since December 2015 I shared my cards on Instagram.

I’m so thrilled when Amy ask me to be a design team member for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.  A dream come true and I can’t describe my feelings. It’s simply amazing and I’m looking forward to work with all these wonderful ladies!!!

Love, Maria
