Well it's Saturday and we hope your weekend is off to a great start. ?We have a lot going on here at Pink by Design and want to make sure we introduce you all to the new design team members that were annoucned last night on the Stamp Release U Stream. ?Before we introduce everyone Sarah and Kyle, as well as the returning design team, want to let you all know that we were so excited to see the tons of entries that were sent in. ?It was hard to narrow it down as there is sooooo much talent and the projects were AMAZING!!!!!!! Thank you for sending in your entries?

Now to introduce the new members of the team

Hi my name is Gloria Zuniga and I?m so honored to be a part of the Pink By Design family.??I?m a Big Disney kid at heart who also goes by the name Disnenynut4life22.??I have been married for 13 years to my best friend and I am a stay at home mom to my 12 year old daughter.??She is the reason why I started scrapbooking in 2000.? I knew nothing about scrapbooking until I happened to find a very small local scrapbook store five minutes from my house.??They had only been opened a few months when I discovered them.??I was so inspired by the albums on display that I found myself going every other day.??On one of my visits, I was pleasantly surprised to be offered a part-time position. Through this opportunity is how I became addicted to scrapbooking.??I was very lucky to have my hobby as a job and meet fellow crafters.??In 2010 I got into the internet crafting world, I felt like a kid in a candy store.??Since then I have gotten into card making which is something I said I would never do.??I don?t call myself a scrapbooker anymore but proud to say that I am a crafter.

Hi Friends!? This is Melisa from "Melisa Crafty Creations".? I am a stay at home Mom and I have 3 very active boys Matthew, Nicholas and Joseph.? My hubby and I have been married for 6 years.? I'm lucky to have a supportive husband.? I started scrapbooking over 13 years ago and have been addicted ever since.? We love going camping as a Family.? A couple of our favorite places to go camping is Glamis and Pismo Beach.? In the summer time we love going to Lake Havasu and hanging out on the water all day.? Some of my other hobbies include baking and photography.? Last year for Mother's Day my hubby and kids bought me a Cricut Expression 2 and that started my Cricut addiction.? I have since bought a bunch of cartridges and a Gyspy, which I use all the time.? My favorite stamps are my Pink by Design stamps, I am crazy about their sentiment stamps.? I have been a fan of Pink byDesign stamps for a long time now to be on their Design?team is an honor. ? *********************************************************************************************************************

?

First off let me say that I am so excited to be a part of the "Pink By Design" Design Team.?

?

Just a little bit about me: I am a country girl from Alabama who is misplaced in New Jersey.??I am married to a wonderful man who I met while serving on board the USS John F. Kennedy Naval Ship back in 1996.??(Yes, I am a sailor girl.??J)??My sweet husband is also very supportive of my crafting passion.??Meaning that he doesn?t ask questions and I don't divulge any information. {LOL}??He does ask for a card every now and again which is nice.??We do not have any children (as of yet), unless you count our 13 year old cat named Gato.??We do have lots of nieces and nephews who are often shown in my scrapbook pages.??

?

I do work part time during the day and I spend time in my small crafting studio by night!??I first discovered my love for Stamping and Scrapbooking about the same time in 2001.??It all started when I received a Christmas card from a friend and realized that I needed to know everything about how it was made. I didn?t actually become addicted until February of 2002 when I realized there were other things out there other than the big box stores.

?

I'm not really sure how to label my stamping or scrapbooking style.??I just create using products that inspire me and products that I fall in love with.??I do love Shabby Chic, Clean and Simple, and a little bit of vintage thrown in there at times.??So I think I have a little bit of variety in style.?

?

I did go through Ranger Certification to use Tim Holtz distressing products.??I do love to incorporate different techniques in my work and at times I do use a variety of different elements.??

Hello everyone, I am Dawn Mercedes. ? I'm a stay at home mom who juggles coaching, volunteering (here/there/and everywhere), and taking care of home and family and community along with ink, paper, scissors, dimensionals. ?(I'm very careful when I juggle scissors, mind you!)? One of my favorite things about stamping/papercrafting is being able to work with so many different styles, colors?and of course people! ?I'm looking forward to working with Pink By Design because they offer such fun sentiments and a range of image styles. ?

Hi everyone! My name is Annette Witherspoon and I am thrilled to be a part of the Pink By Design team. I am primarily a card maker who occasionally makes altered projects. I would define my style as clean and simple (CAS). I love clean lines and white space.

?

When I?m not making cards, I am a full-time mommy of two small and very rambunctious children ? Jack, age 6, and Elise, age three. I have a very supportive husband, John, whose interests are pretty much anything electronic, so when I mentioned to him I was interested in an electronic die cutting machine, he got me a Silhouette!! We are both huge Ohio State fans (Go Bucks!). More importantly, we are Christians who love the Lord.

?

Speaking of Ohio State, I graduated from OSU with a degree in journalism, which I used as a public relations professional for 10 years before embarking on my career as a mother. Fortunately, I still use some of my writing skills, as well as my paper crafting skills, as a writer for ScrapStreet Magazine, a digital publication that features paper, digital and hybrid projects at www.scrapstreet.com.??

?

You can also find me on my blog at www.aspoonfullofsugarcrafts.com, which I started in August 2010. I dabbled in paper crafting a few years before blogging, but after I started A. Spoon Full of Sugar, I really ramped it up. I started participating in challenges and submitting my work to publications. It has been so much fun and it?s a great outlet for a tired mommy who sometimes needs to decompress. I should probably tell you that my blog name is a play on my real name. A, which is the first letter of my first name, and Spoon, which is the last half of my last name.

?

I look forward to getting to know all of you! I love the sense of community and fellowship in the paper crafting community. I can?t wait to see all your beautiful creations!!

Hi Everyone!??My name is Julie Kraling and I am from Iowa!??I have always had a love for all things crafty!??I have been told I was born with a scissors in one hand and a tape runner in the other, my diapers were made out of cardstock, and my bib said ?Scrap Happens??just kidding.??I grew up in a house where ?handmade? was a way of life.??My mother was the McGyver of Crafting- she could take a bobbypin and some dryer lint and turn it into a work of art.??I credit her for my creativity.??:0)Over the years I have focused on my job and my family and I had let my creativity??become buried under the assumptions of??who {I thought} the world wanted me to be.??A year and a half ago I was summoned to the TV by my (then) 9 year old twin daughters?they were mesmerized by this magical cutting machine called a ?Cricut?.??That was it.??I saw my own creativity pouring out of my daughters and at that very moment, I knew who I was and who I was about to become.??It was my turn to be ?McGyver Mom?.??I bought a Cricut Expression, and shortly after discovered the world of Blogging.???I fell in love with both instantly!My style of crafting varies from day to day.??I love all things paper!??I like clean and simple, vintage, whimsical, etc.??I love making cards, 3-D objects, and altered projects, and recently, I have finally figured out how to do a layout (without it looking like my cat did it!).??I?love?crafting tools and have so many that I?m not sure I?ve used them all yet!??I am also a paper hoarder (it?s all just so pretty!).I am married to my best friend.??Everyone says that don?t they- but I really am!??He is my biggest supporter and fan.??We love to laugh and (he?ll deny it but) he loves to go shopping almost as much as I do!??My almost 11 year old (going on 17) twins are awesome!??They have taught me so much about patience and spontaneity.??Sometimes you have to just stay calm and go with whatever is thrown your way.??While the girls are slowly discovering boys,??I am slowly discovering grey hairs.I am so excited to be a part of the Pink By Design Team and look forward to working with such an incredibly talented??group of people.

Hello! My name is Sabrina Alery and I am so excited to be a part of the Pink by Design Team!! My husband and I live in rural Madison County, Iowa with our 3 kiddos and 3 terriers. Paper crafts have been my main hobby for the last 5 years with stamping sort of taking over in the last year or two. When I'm not playing with paper and stamps, I love to sew clothing, cook and bake, and in the summer, garden. I'd love if you'd stop by to say hi -sabrinaalery.blogspot.com. Thanks so much for having me ? looking forward to getting to know you all!!

Hi, my name is Nilda and here is a little bit about me. I have been married for 17 years to wonderful man that is supportive of my crafting hobby. We have three boys, ages 13, 9, and 7 (yes they keep me busy). ?I am fortunate to be a stay at home to enjoy my family and hobby. ?I started scrap-booking when my first son was born but soon gave that up temporarily when I discovered the art of card making. I absolutely fell in love with the process. I can't remember the last time I purchased a greeting card (sorry Hallmark). I ?love to try new techniques and products all the time. I think it's important to step out of your comfort zone from time to time and never stop learning. Wether it's using your first stamp, embossing folder, or ?marker?. don't be afraid to try it. ?I enjoy sharing all my projects and techniques so that you can stretch your creativity, you never know where it may lead you.?
