Design Team Reveal Day 4!!

Hi everyone!! Today we reveal our 4th & 5th designers!! 
Since I will be gone this weekend I combined the last annoucements for today!


Please help us welcome:

Cathy Fong!!

In her own words...

Hi ! My name is Catherina Fongjoyo. My friends call me Cathy. I live in Samarinda, one very little town in Indonesia.

 Everyday i work with children as Mandarin teacher, and i enjoy it so much. My passion is all about travelling, photos, and arts.

Eventhough i live in one little place where you can't find any art or stamping supplies but surprisingly through my new friends i got to know about stamping and cardmaking. I have been creating cards for almost a year now and i think i have found my place to grow my own talent.

My favourite technique is simple coloring and mixmatching stamps ~ i always have so much fun while creating.

My inspirations come from everywhere, everything i see, including my friend's blog and their fabulous projects.

 and I'm so happy and honored to join the Wee Memories Design Team :)

And heres a sample of her work using this weeks theme, Dare to Color Challenge:

Welcome Cathy, we are so happy to have you joining us!!

And please also help us welcome:

Brandi Hall!!

In her own words...

My name is Brandi Hall and I am from Saratoga Springs, New York. I have been married to my husband, Matt, for six years. We have two cute little westies named Shea and Stoops. 

I work full time for an architectural firm designing commercial and residential spaces. In my downtime I love to design on a smaller scale. That is where my card making obsession comes into play. I started making cards three years ago when a family member introduced me to Stampin’ Up. When I’m not crafting, I love to read and play golf.

I want to thank you Jenny for giving me this wonderful opportunity to work with you and your amazing design team!

We are so happy to have Brandi joining us!! Shes such a sweet lady and a talented designer!!


Thank you for joining us today!! :) :) 


Have a wonderful weekend!

Design Team Reveal Day 3!!

Hi everyone! Today is reveal day 3!! Yesterday was my birthday so forgive me im a little behind. Anyone else having blogger issues too? Seems to come and go.


Please help me welcome our next new designer. Shes a sweet and talented lady and we are happy to have her on our team!! She will be bringing a more vintage style to our team!


Please help us welcome:

Danielle Greenwood

In her own words:

My name is  Danielle Greenwood, I'm a stay at home mom by day and a crafter by night. I have two 'babies' (they are age 3 and 2). I love being home to take care of them, watch them grow, and chase them around the house. When my kids are sleeping, I like to craft up a storm! I love all sorts of different crafts, but right now paper crafting, specifically card making, holds my heart. 

I  like to challenge and stretch myself to try new styles and new things, so along with my staple of shabby/vintage cards, you'll find some clean and simple and bolder style projects on my blog.

I'm currently on The Shabby Tea Room design team, and design new cards for the weekly challenges. I've also been a guest designer on a sketch challenge blog- Card Patterns. 

Right now i'm primarily a card maker, although I do love to make home decor, altered items and have made a few mini albums before. I also dabble in digital collage art, like my blog banner that I made myself. I just love to create pretty things that are fun to look at. 

I really enjoy playing in the weekly Wee Memories challenges, and am always inspired! I would be honored to contribute to that inspiration with a little bit of a shabby vintage style for your readers! 

Thanks for helping us welcome Danielle to our team!!
Have a wonderful weekend! :)

Design Team Reveal Day 2!!

Hi everyone! Today is reveal day 2!! Please help me welcome our next new designer. She also is a regular follower and friend of ours and we are happy to have her joining our team!!


Please help us welcome:

Rachel Izakowicz
Seize the Stamp


In her own words...


Hi Everyone, Rachel here. I'm originally from Canton, Ohio, but moved to London six years ago for a Master's in Fine & Decorative Art from Sotheby's Institute of Art. Since completing my degree I've had various jobs in the art world, before pursuing a career in marketing. I met my husband in London a few years ago and we married last year in Cleveland, Ohio. From a young age, I was always enthusiastic about scrapbooking and have always loved stationery - back to school shopping was always one of the highlights of my summer! In the last year my interests have been taken over by card making, which I love! I love rubber stamping and the endless possibilities of ink, sprays, markers, pencils and paper.


 I have recently left my full time job to pursue a crafty career and we'll see where the adventure takes me! I am so honored & excited to be part of the Wee Memories team, joining such a talented group of crafters!


Thanks for helping us welcome Rachel to our team!! She will be such a welcome addition and we are delighted to have her!!

Welcome Our First New Designer!

Hi everyone! Today is reveal day!! Please help me welcome our first new designer. Shes been a regular follower here and a sweet friend so I am happy to have her on our team!

Introducing ...
Amy Kolling

in her own words..

Hello!  My name is Amy Kolling and I am from Topeka, Kansas. I have been married to my husband for 15 years and have 2 kids.


My son is starting 4th grade and my daughter will be starting a new venture this fall herself:  Kindergarten!  So my "nest" of sorts will be empty here in just a few weeks! 
I work full time for a large dialysis clinic as a dialysis charge nurse but have been a nurse for 15+ years.  My stamping career started when I decided I wanted to do more than
scrapbooking.  So I hosted a Stampin' Up "party" and it was that single event that made me never look back.  I later found a local stamping company and became a demonstrator where I was given the opportunity to design for their catalog.  That was a dream!  Through that company, I met some of my best friends who truly understand me and this crazy hobby called stamping!! 


Papercrafting has been a hobby of mine now for some time and I still get giddy when I get new stamps to play with!  I am super excited to work with Jenny and the Wee Memories Design Team!


....


We are so excited to have you Amy!!
Heres a card she did for this weeks challenge:

Be sure to check out her blog HERE and give her a warm welcome to the team!!

Thanks for peekin' in! We will reveal our next designer later today! Stay tuned!

Saying Goodbye!

Hi everyone!!


Just wanted to take a moment to write a special separate post to say goodbye to 2 of our Design Team members, Ann Cox and Wendy Elliot. Here are a few words from them:


Ann


It's hard to believe that a year has already passed since I joined the Wee Memories team! It's truly been a joy to work with such a great group of designers, & I've loved seeing the creations you all share in each of our challenges.

I want to extend a special thank you to Jenny: You work so hard to put this all together for us, & I appreciate everything you've done for me over the past year. You are one awesome woman to work for, & I love ya!


(Love ya too Ann, Hard to see you go!) :(


Wendy


"I've enjoyed being apart of the Wee Memories design team this year. Such a talented and friendly group of ladies. So encourageing and supportive of one another, I felt welcomed as a design team member right away.  Jenny is always understanding of family life, and very flexible too! Each week brought a new challenge and an awesome selection of entries to choose from.  I look forward to participating in the challenges in the future."




Even though this is goodbye as a Designer, our friendship remains. These ladies have been a wonderful friend and added so much talent to the team. We will miss them terribly! But we wish them all the best in their future endeavors!!


Thank you to both of you for all your hard work and dedication!! :) :) :) I will miss you tons!

Paper Crafts by Laurel

Hi everyone! My name is Laurel and I live in sunny Florida, where I have lived my entire life! I am married to a Navy Pilot and have a gorgeous 5 year old son..... I was introduced to stamping a little under two years ago when I wanted to make a teacher's gift for my son's teachers. I created the most horrific altered clipboard on the face of the planet. I like to think my talent has grown since then. I really had no where to go but up from that, ha!  I would define myself as a very clean and simple card designer, rarely using a lot of embellishments on one card. My favorite techniques are heat embossing and incorporating distress ink techniques into my projects. I also love building patterns out of stamps.

So glad to have you Laurel! Welcome to the Team!

And on that note, we say goodbye to Jinny Newlin. Thank you Jinny for all your inspiration you have shared with us over the past few months we wish you all the best!

Have a great day everyone!!

:) :) Jenny

Hello, my name is Giovana Smith. I was born and raised in Peru and lived there until 2002. I moved to the United States after I married my wonderful husband David. We have a wonderful talkative girl who is 6 now and loves to stamp and color with mommy. My husband is very supportive and has learned many "stamping" terms, LOL. I started making cards in 2006, when I created a couple of cross-stitch card for a couple of expecting friends, after that I got curious about this and I got hooked when I discovered stamps, ink, papers!! My favorite embellishments are ribbon and pearls, I love to sew on my cards. I teach how to make cards to my church friends and we all enjoy it very much!!!
