Let's meet our DT ladies.....

We are extremely excited to have a all these wonderful ladies join our existing team and would like to take the next few days to introduce our new/existing DT ladies and let you all get to know a little more about them. These ladies have hit the ground running and are already working on wonderful projects to share with you and inspire us all.

So without further ado, let's start the introductions........


Hello! My name is Jenn Ruggeri and I live in Saint Louis, MO, USA. I am a teacher by trade, but right now I am fortunate enough to be a stay at home mom to three beautiful children. (ages 8,3, and 5) My husband and I are expecting baby #4 in mid-October. Life is crazy at my house, but I wouldn't have it any other way! My love for papercrafting began about 6 years ago. I like to try all sorts of crafts, but cardmaking is my passion!

My name is Crystal Dennett and I'm a recently single mom of one 10 year old boy named Tyler. I love to scrapbook and make cards as it is my escape from my non-creative day job in accounting. I've been stamping for along time for myself and never really shared my projects except with family. It's only been in the last year when I came across the Splitcoaststampers website and made many great online friends who were supportive and who I learned so many new things from that I really became obsessed with it. I'm an avid shopper for supplies and need to find more time to put them to use! I'm super excited to be chosen as part of The Stamping Boutique design team and am looking forward to sharing my creations with you.

This image is one of my new summer images to be released during Rhonda's blog hop May 30th.
Well, enough store stuff. I'm so stoked about this beautiful weather. I'm going to be spending lots of time with my Sassy. (My horse) I went to see her the other day and she was so bad. She actually bit another horse that was trying to get my attention! I could have killed her. You'd think with 2 monster teenagers to deal with that I'd get a break with my horse, but nope. LOL! But, I love them all! What would I do without them?
Have a wonderful weekend dear ones.
