Introducing Suzi McKenzie

My name is Suzi McKenzie AKA Mrs Weyremaster, I live in Aberdeen, Scotland with my hubby Stewart and our 3 Furbabies.  I no longer work due to ill health (fibromyalgia, etc) so crafting and blogging is what i do to keep sane.  

I have worked for the following companies, The Greeting Farm ( Guest DT for Club Anya Winter 2009), Pixie Dust Studio (April 2010 - Dec 2010), StampInsanity (March 2010 - Dec 2010), Raise the Bar Challenge Blog, Oh Alice Challenge Blog, The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge Blog (ongoing), Simply Betty Challenges (ongoing).  I've just started work for Instyle Stamps. As you can see, I have some DT experience, and having finished a couple of DT terms recently am looking for a new challenge.

I love colouring in especially with my Promarkers, and Coloured Pencils.  I like to tell a story with my cards if possibly, always focusing on the image, or images I am showcasing.

Introducing Jeannie Kupsh

I'm an Army wife, an Air Force Mom, and soon to be an Army Mom too! We're a proud military family!! I am happily at home keeping house in gorgeous Vicenza, Italy. We moved here in July and have been indulging ourselves in all things Italian! I'm the proud mother of three incredible children; Alexandria (21), Shane (18) and Isabella (6). I have been a blogger for nearly four years, and a stamper for the past two. A day without stamping is a day wasted in my opinion!!! I'm passionate about my artwork and love trying new techniques to keep things fresh and fun. I've recently become the happy owner of a lovely, and ever growing!, collection of Copic markers and I've been focusing on using them lately.

I'm brand new to using digital stamps, but I'm already hooked!! Don't let trying something new or different keep you from joining in on the fun!!!

Introducing Miranda van den Bosch

My name is Miranda and I’m 46 yrs old and I live in a small country called the Netherlands.

I have 3 cats and 2 rabbits. When I’m not at work or in the gym or running, you probably find me in my hobbycorner. I discovered making scrapcards in 2009 and got addicted ever since.

I like colouring the images I use for my cards. For my colouring I mainly use colourpencils or watercolours. Sometimes I make my own backgrounds with stamping ink and stamps, but I do use DP as well.

I also like to draw and paint animals and just got my first book out with bird illustrations.

 

I’m happy to be on the DT for the Stamping Boutique, because the images we work with are absolutely gorgeous and there’s a lot of creativity going on in this team, so no lack for inspiration.

You can find my cards on my blog: Miranda's Card Creations.

Introducing Christy Lindeman

 Hi everyone. My name is Christy, and I'm really excited to be joining the amazing ladies at The Stamping Boutique. My husband and I moved to California from the east coast after our wedding a little over a year ago. Since then, I've split my time between crafting and raising our crazy puppy, Herbert. 

I've loved crafting ever since I was a little girl, and now I get to do it full time. In addition to making cards, I can be found scrapbooking, knitting or crocheting, making jewelry, or taking up any craft that requires going out and buying a whole bunch of new supplies! My greatest loves (besides my husband and dog, of course), are my Copics and my Pazzles. Both get daily use, and I love the excitement of making pretty new things.

I first discovered The Stamping Boutique's images while working with Card Cupids, a charity that sends cards to children going through rough times. I fell in love with these stamps, and I'm so honored to be joining the team.

Introducing Kendra Sand

My name is, Kendra, I live in WI with my husband, who is my high school sweetheart(been together for 10years) and two adorable little kids (2.5 and 1). I’m a SAHM in winter and work landscaping in summer. I’ve been scrapping for over 10 years now and creating cards for a little over a year. Any spare time I get I love to be in my room creating either by myself or with my little guy. I'm excited to be a part of this wonderful DT!

Check out more of Kendra's work on her blog Luv 2 Scrap N Make Cards.

Introducing Dawn Bennett

Hi ! My name is Dawn and I live in Southeastern PA. I am married to my wonderful husband Mark, who is retired from the Navy and who is very supportive of my crafting addiction. We have 3 wonderful children, ages 18, 16 and 12.

I have been crafting for about 5yrs now and really love it. I started when my neighbor took me to a scrapbooking weekend and rest is history. I tried my hand at card making when I couldn’t find a card that I wanted at the Hallmark store, and well let’s just say I’ve been hooked since. Everything that I have done, I pretty much self taught myself to do. I make my images/stamps come alive with my Copic markers. My LSS saw the cards that I had made and what I have done with my Copics and asked me to teach some Copic classes, I was a bit leery at first, but I’m loving every minute of it.

I have only been blogging since October and well let’s say it’s opened up a whole new world to me. I have made many friends from all over the world and I really enjoy seeing what others create as well. I also just discovered the world of “challenges”, I have to say it’s given me a bit of a nudge to see what new/different things/techniques I can come up with.

I am excited to have been asked to join The Stamping Boutique’s Design Team and I’m looking forward to working with this very talented group.

Introducing Kecia Waters

I am absolutely elated to be a part of The Stamping Boutique's Design Team.  I love coloring large, open whimsical images, like those from The Stamping Boutique, with alcohol markers and color pencils.

I just got married in July and I am so happy (and relieved) that my husband, Chris, encourages my card designing obsession.  We often will spend our time together in my stamp room, with him surfing the web and with me coloring away.  When I am not stamping, I am busy cheering my Ohio State Buckeyes onto victory in football, playing with my spoiled, but adorable dachshund, Sloopy, or teaching Kindergarten.  It all keeps me busy, but I love every minute of it.
