We'd like to welcome Deanne Clarke Saunders as a new member of our DT. My name is Deanne Clarke-Saunders. My hubby and I live is St. John’s Newfoundland Canada. I’m an elementary teacher but currently not working. I have always enjoyed playing with paper, scissors, glue, and ESPECIALLY crayons and pencil crayons, ever since I’ve been a small child. I just couldn’t stop playing, so I continued by scrapbooking and card-making! I love it!!! My hubby calls me a paper hoarder. He just MAY be right, but I’d never tell him that!!! A man doesn’t need to know he’s right!!! haha!
Deanne created the following project using The Stamping Boutique image - Lattes for Two

Today we are proud to introduce Camille as another of our additions to our team!! She is quite talented and we hope find as inspiring as we have.
I'm a happily married and crafty mother to four children, ranging in age from 9-23. We love to play video games together, eat good food, and travel to Disneyland when we can. I started scrapbooking ten years ago while pregnant with my third child. I still scrapbook but now my crafting includes card and tag making, sewing small projects from apparel to home decor, and stamping. My home is about 50 miles from a craft store, so hybrid projects have become my normal crafting staple because of the ease of access and afffordability. In the past, I've designed projects for Provo Craft (Cricut), JessicaSprague.com, ACDigitals, and Color Combos Galore Challenge Blog. Currently, I'm designing hybrid projects for Digital Project Life, Nancie Rowe Janitz Designs, and just recently, The Stamping Boutique. Here is her fantastic creation -

We would like to welcome another new member to our team - Linda Bostedt!!! Hello fellow crafters, My name is Linnda Styrna-Bostedt and I am so honored to be part of this awesome and talented group. I am a Registered Nurse and I have a MBA in Healthcare Administration. I am currently employed at Northern Illinois University working as the Assistant Director for Health Services. I am so blessed to be able to work in a career that I love and I can give back to others.
My passion for all types of crafting began when I was a child, you name it, I tried it. I became involved in paper crafting about 10 years ago when a new Scrapbook Store opened in out neighborhood. I had no clue what the store was but my daughter and I ventured into it. Well needless to say I spent all my grocery money there and my addiction began. Digi's., Rubber Stamps, Copics, Pencils, papers, embellishments.... I love everything! Crafting is my down time. But the greatest gift is when you make a homemade card and you see the smile on the recipient's face.
We will introducing our new DT members over the next week or so. We are really excited that each lady agreed to be part of our team.
Our first member is Rhonda Miller who also agreed to be our DT Coordinator. You can find her beautiful creations on her blog Rhonda's Place to Share.
I have been married to my best friend for 14 years and am a SAHM of 4 terrific kids ages 5 to 12. I have been doing papercrafts for over 20 years and still love it. I love to try many types of paper crafts, and love to learn new techniques. I spend much of my crafty time with my kids teaching them how to make the things they like. My other hobbies include reading, spending time with my hubby and kids, origami, hiking and discovering nature.
I have been on design teams for Michelle Perkett, The Stamping Boutique, AiFactory, Get Hippity with Ippity, Amber Ink, Cupcake Inspiration (GDT), Forever Friends (GDT), The Crafter's Cafe, Inktegrity, Softpencil Studio, Pattie's Creations, JLJ Designs and Deedee's Digis.
We are gearing up for another party here at The Stamping Boutique. It is going to be filled with challenges, games and of course prizes.
We have changed the location to a chat page that will be set up here on the blog. We are hoping it is less confusing than the Facebook page was. I know I was lost most of the time!! :-)
First let me thank all of you who applied. This was my first ever DT call and boy was it hard to choose!! Each of you who sent an application has so much talent and creativity! I am grateful to each of you who took the time to apply!
We are super excited to share with all of our Stamping Boutique fans and customers that we are featured in the latest edition of Cardmaking Magazine.
It is a UK based magazine and is already available there. Some of our US team members have started looking for it and haven't found it yet.
