CARISSA

Happily Ever Paper Crafter

I am thrilled and excited to start another term as a design team member for the amazing Pumpkin Spice Blog.

I am a mother of two adorable kiddos (baby #3 due at the end of April) and a wife to a wonderful husband. I work part-time as a nurse at a busy metro hospital. When I'm not busy being a mommy and a nurse, I spend time reading and getting caught up in Netflix movies. My family loves to travel and spend time together, so there is alway an adventure on the horizon.

I have been a paper crafter for years, but got my fire rekindled last year when I got a Cricut for Christmas. I've been crazy crafting ever since. I have a passion for my Cricut, Cuttlebug and all my stamps. I adore beautiful paper and embellishments. My favorite things to craft are home decor, mini albums, and cards. I love learning new techniques and being inspired by others.  

May all your paper crafting dreams come true.

Cheryl

She Stamps

 

I am a 40-something year old working mom. I live in Wisconsin with my husband, daughter, 2 dogs, and a parrot.  I am hopelessly addicted to designer papers, Copic markers, buttons and baker's twine. I love to use these items along lots of layers and stitching when creating my projects. You might know me as elizgmom on Splitcoast and other networks. Besides paper crafts, I love reading, listening to music, and having fun with my family.

COURTNEY

Courts Crafts

Hi! My name is Courtney Lee and I have had the incredible privilege of being sponsored by Pumpkin Spice! I approached them because they had the best prices, the best shipping rates, and incredibly great customer service! I am proud to say that I represent Pumpkin Spice and am looking forward to being on the Design Team! I design for Imaginisce, My Pink Stamper, and have been a guest designer for My Mind's Eye and showcased on Echo Park, so Pumpkin Spice has everything I need!

I live with my husband Hans in San Francisco, CA with our Yorkie named Spoon. She is my constant crafty companion! I am excited about this new adventure and am really looking forward to it!

Heather
Houses Built of Cards

Hi! My name is Heather, known sometimes by my blog name Houses Built of Cards. As my blog name suggests, I LOVE making cards – but I also enjoy scrapbooking pictures of my family. I have a wonderful husband who puts up with my hobby – and actually supports me in it! - and two beautiful daughters age 8 and 9 who like to craft as much as I do! We moved this past summer from Washington State, to Wyoming – which has been a huge adjustment and adventure! None of us has ever moved more than ½ hour away from where we grew up, and we thought we lived in a small town before! Now we live in a truly tiny town of 1,400 people, and at the lovely elevation of 7,200 feet! Winter is just beginning to hit, and the cold has certainly been an adjustment! Excited to see the new things the Lord has planned for us in this place he has led us to!

In case you’re curious, my blog is called Houses Built of Cards because I sell all the cards that I can’t use myself (which ends up being quite a lot actually!) and 100% of the money earned goes toward building houses for widows their children in Burundi, Africa through a ministry called Sister Connection. So far I have completed 2 houses and am well on the way to finishing my third! I love that I can do something that I LOVE – and help someone else at the same time. Passing on a little of the many blessings God has given me.

I am a work-at-home mom to two beautiful 9yo fraternal twin girls, both of whom are diagnosed with Autism.  I have been married to my college sweetheart, Doug, for over 20 years.  We also have a 21yo cat named Skeeziks, who is the sweetest furry girl.  I am an avid card-maker with a paper addiction.  If there were a show on paper crafting hoarders, I would probably be on it :)  I am also very frugal; I want to get the newest and hottest paper collections, but at a reasonable price.  That's why I Shop Pumpkin Spice!

Marlene
Scrappin Cookie

Hi! This is Marlene from ScrappinCookie. I’m a 28 year old SAHM. I’ve been married for 9 years and have two wonderful growing boys - ages 5 & 8. There are exactly what little boys are: dirt on face, cut on finger, frog/bugs in pockets – but they are my pride and joy.

Outside of my household duties, I love all things crafty! Ever since a little girl I’ve always been on the crafty side. But it has only been during these past 8 years that I have truly entered the Paper Crafting World. I enjoy everything from cardmaking to altering items.  I do have a clean and simple style with attention to details. Just some of the items I love to use on my creations are: patterned papers, ink, stamps, ribbon, lace, twine, buttons, pearls and bling, sketches, layers, and of course my Cricut Products! I use them for almost EVERY project. I’ve even been given the opportunity to have several of my projects published in the 2012 Cricut Magazines (July – December) and the upcoming 2013 issues.

I’m so thankful to Denine for allowing me to be part of the Shop Pumpkin Spice Family. I look forward to working with such a wonderful group of talented paper crafters, as well as providing inspiration to the Shop Pumpkin Spice Followers.

Missy
Quick Chick Designs

I've been a scrapbooker  for years, but  when my husband gave me my first Cricut 3 years ago, I really fell in love with paper crafting and all things crafty in general! I enjoy making cards, layouts, home decor, and handmade gifts for people. I also enjoy the online paper crafting community!   When I’m not in my pink scrap room, you can find me either spending time with my family or running. A lot of my ideas come to me when I’m out on a run!

SAUNDRA
Luv Scrapping Together

My name is Saundra. I am a wife, homeschool mom, and avid papercrafter. I began papercrafting a little over 3 years ago after I bought my electronic cutting machine. At first I had thought to only use it for bulletin boards and such for my classroom. I was teaching in a private school back then. As I began searching for information I discovered the world of blogging. There is so much inspiration to be had! I love making cards and have tried my hand at scrapbooking and making home decor projects. Besides papercrafting I love spending time with my family and am striving to get fit. That's my 2012 resolution!! I look forward to serving on the Shop Pumpkin Spice design team and hope to inspire you in some small way.
