Wings & Willows

Hello! I'm Rebecca from Wings & Willows. I am a happy wife and mama to 3 sweet girls. The hubby and I live out in the country along with an assortment of animals. In my small amount of spare time, I love to blog about our life and share some new (and free) stamps that I've created. (As well as fill you in on sales in the shop!) My digital stamps definitely are a reflection of the day-to-day things that go on at home. I've been doodling for the past 30-ish years, so it's great to be able to share my art with friends! In addition to that, I paint fingerprint trees. Just think of them as a fun and unique alternative to guest books. I would love for you to take a peek at my shops. (Or drop a line on my blog! I love to hear from you!) Thanks! Becca :)

Nick

Hi, my name is Helene but I call myself Nick in the scrapbooking cyber world. Nick is what my hubby use to call me. I have two peeps (3 and 5) and they are making my days so much more interesting. I live in Askeby, Sweden. Askeby is a small village (just outside Linköping) out in the country and at the moment still covered by lots of snow.

I have been scrapbooking since 2006 and I'm totally hooked! I enjoy creating layouts, cards, matchboxes and mini albums. I love to colour images of all kind and I collect paper!!

I am a designer for my local scrapbooking shop here in Linköping. I also design for Digi Darla and two challenge blogs called Crafty Catz and Brown Sugar. I love finding new techniques and being inspired by all of you! That´s why I love my blog run. Hopefully I can provide some inspiration back to you as my way to say thanks.

Hugs Nick

Hi!

My name is Heidi Schwoerer and I love drawing and crafting! I started drawing at about age 7 and I just never stopped! I attended college got my degree in art and had a hard time finding an "art" job. I never stopped drawing though and sooner or later I developed my own style, started freelancing, started a rubber stamp business, started a digital stamp business and then just turned to licensing my line art and selling digital stamps!(which is where I am now!) In 2013 I hope to find my own coloring style and create a colored art license portfolio. I love to use Adobe Ideas on my iPad to sketch, outline and color all my illustrations! I do still love to sketch with a good old pencil and sketch book though! I bring an idea book with me where ever I go, so when ever an idea pops into my head I can jot it down or draw a quick sketch.-Heidi

Laura Ballard

Hi! My name is Laura and I am 22. I am a children's nurse and just love my job! When I'm not working I am renovating a house my partner and I bought in October last year. We are hoping to move in this year but have lots to do before that. When I'm not being 'DI-wifey' I love to paper craft and am looking forward to turning our 3rd bedroom in to a craft room when we move in (Haven't quite agreed this with OH yet!)... I love all things paper and have a soft spot for digi images and beautiful papers. I love the satisfaction you get when you have made a beautiful card and given it to someone you love, who loves just what you have made them! I am quite the girly crafter and love lots of pink, flowers, glitter and pearls on my cards, but who doesn't?! I was very lucky when I was asked to become a guest design for Love To Create and hope you like my design. Thank you LTC for having me!!

Be sure to stop over to Laura's blog and leave her some love !!

Sassy Studio Designs

Sassy Studio Designs is a fresh new company. We have been designing and selling for 2 years now, and we have been kindly received into the community of digi stampers and crafters. I started designing images shortly after I started stamping, reason being...I didn't hardly like anything else out there I was a young adult woman at the time I was engaged, had no kids, I wanted fun sexy images that I would enjoy using and my friends and hubby would enjoy receiving. I designed images for 2 other digi stamp companies when my wonderful hubby kept trying to get me to go out on my own. So in June 2009 thanks to the few faithful followers I had, Sassy Studio Designs was born! It has been a wonderful journey starting my own store. We have just grown so much these past months.I still try to keep Lindsay Dyer: keep with my original philosophy and reason for designing stamps, make them fun and keep them sassy...and yes sometimes even sexy!

Judy Corner

For many years I made cross stitched cards and small projects (one nighters) until late 2007 when I gingerly transferred to card making. It was some time before stamping took hold but once it did WOW there no stopping me, I just love it! I had silently followed the blogs avidly but only plucked up the courage to form my own blog in February 2011! It was so scary hitting ‘publish’for the first time but now I wonder why I did not do this before. I feel I have come such a long way, am now on two Design Teams,and also am enjoying doing commissions for Papercrafts Essentials magazine, the first of which was Published in February 2013.It is a great hobby, and one that is definitely a pleasure to share. Do feel free to drop by and say hello on http://inkypinkydelights.blogspot.com/
