NEW PS Designers!
Our stampy-family grew!
We already have an incredibly talented design team, but I thought it would be beneficial to us all if we concentrated on the many aspects of paper crafting as possible. So now we have three separate teams (but one combined team of course). One for stamping, one for dies and one for scrapbooking. No one is being replaced...we hope to work with these amazing girls as long as we possibly can.
Please welcome...
"I live in
a small town in the NW corner of Iowa with my husband of 15 years and our three
kids, ages 13 (YIKES!), 10, and 6. Making stuff has always been a
big part of my life, ever since I was a little girl digging through my mom's
boxes of fabric scraps...it seems to be a trait that has been passed down
through many generations of women in my family! Today I love stamping,
card making, a bit of scrapbooking, as well as sewing. My daughters seem
to have caught the creativity bug as well and we love to craft together.
I currently work as one of the Paper
Crafts magazine Go-to
Gals, and I am also on design teams for Papertrey Ink, Pink Paislee, and Anna
Griffin. I'm so excited and honored to be joining the crew here at Paper
Smooches...I know being on Kim's team is going to be just as much fun as her designs!"
My name is Ashley and I live in a suburb of Seattle
Washington with my husband and three young energetic
kids. I've been crafting since I was a little girl and was thrilled
to stumble in to card making after the birth of my first child in 2007. I
would define my style somewhere between cute and trendy. I love to keep
things simple but I also love layers. I have been published multiple
times in Paper Crafts magazine and was crowned Stamping Royalty in
2012. When I'm not creating or running around trying to be super
Mom you can find me outside gardening or watching soccer and
football.
Erin says that papercrafting helps to keep her sane in her crazy
household of three young children. The sanity is rather fleeting because within
ten minutes of hiding out in her office, the kidlets invade and want to craft
for themselves. It must be in their DNA, because at such a young age, they seem
to know their way around an ink pad and acrylic blocks and can just about
operate her Silhouette Cameo on their own.
Erin's been papercrafting since she got out of college back in
2000. She happily traded term papers for glue sticks. Eventually, she traded
her cancer research job for full time crafting when she was hired to be
Creating Keepsakes first online hostess. And not long after that, she traded
her full time crafting career for motherhood. She still dabbles more than a
little in the world of ink, stamps, and paper but most days find her changing
diapers, running to preschool, and pinning hundreds of ideas on her Pinterest
boards that she'll get to sometime in the next decade. All in a day's work!
Hi, I'm JJ Bolton!
I'm originally from Hawaii but now live in northern Virginia with my
husband and twin sons! I got into paper crafting by accident in 2010 when
my husband bought me a Silhouette as a gift. I started off making party
favors but quickly discovered the world of card making! Since then, it's
become an addiction. I still love my Silhouette, but I'm also a big fan
of manual dies. My projects tend to be on the CAS side and I love bright
colors! I've been lucky to have been published in Paper Crafts magazine
and have been a part of some really fun design teams. I'm super excited
to be a part of the amazing Paper Smooches team!!
Hi there, I'm Mou Saha. I was born in Calcutta, India.
My scrapbooking journey began in 2004 quite by chance. I love to make layouts
about my children and our everyday life. I love to experiment, particularly
with mixed media techniques. I tend to hand write my journaling in almost every
layout. I love waking up every morning and have a creative day! My creative journey has brought me in touch with
amazing people who have inspired me in so many ways! I design
for Tim Holtz, October Afternoon, Sizzix, Anna Griffin, Faber-Castell Design
Memory Craft, Glitz Design, Little Yellow Bicycle and I'm absolutely thrilled to join Paper Smooches. I live in Tampa, Florida, USA with my husband, two kiddos
and a puppy. You can connect with me through my blog: http://collagecollagecollage.blogspot.com/
My name is Pamela and I'm currently working by day and
studying by night. I live in Vancouver, Canada so it's always good to
have a crafty hobby during those rainy days. Aside from working in my
crafty corner, I can be found in coffee shops or hanging out with friends.
I am so excited to be joining the Paper Smooches team!
Summer Fullerton lives just west of Portland, OR, with her husband
Brad and their 2 kids Grant and Corinne. Summer's creative journey began when
she was a little girl. She grew up surrounded by creative inspiration, as her
mother made dolls, jewelry, pottery and even designed wallpaper.
Summer received her first camera at only 6 years old and her first
SLR when she was 12. When Summer was in high school she kept scrapbooks of
photos and memorabilia taped to typing paper tucked into 3 ringed school
binders. It is only natural she started scrapbooking as we know it today after
the birth of her son 16 years ago. Summer considers herself a traditional clean
lined multi photo scrapbooker. She absolutely loves playing with a little of
the unexpected on her layouts whether it's a pop of color or a product used in
a new way.
Summer has been published in every major scrapbooking publication
as well as being named a 2007 Creating Keepsakes Hall of Fame Winner and 2009
Memory Makers Master. She also co-wrote the book Remember This which was
published in 2010. She currently designs for Jillibean Soup, Lily Bee Designs
and Scrapbooking and Cards Today. You can see more of her work at her blog http://summerfullerton.typepad.com/.
