Welcome to the 2016 TE Blog Team!
Good morning and happy Monday, crafty friends! We hope you had a delightful and restful Christmas holiday. We are gearing up for tons of creativity and fun for 2016 and today we have an exciting announcement to get the party started early! Our Blog features some of the most talented designers in the papercrafting world and we are so happy to announce our 2016 Blog Design Team.
Plus, to celebrate, we are giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to the TE Store to help you play along with our new designers in the new year! Read on for details…
(Before we get started, we’d like to say a very heartfelt ‘thank you’ to our departing members, Amy Sheffer, Julia Stainton, and Kay Miller, who contributed some absolutely stunning projects during their tenure. They will be missed and we wish them all the very best!)
Now, without further ado…

with her husband, two fast-growing children, and some very well-loved
pets. They recently welcomed a new puppy into their home named Arashi
(after Amy’s
favorite beach in Aruba). When not crafting, Amy works as a full-time
dialysis RN and enjoys working with her patients very much. Her loves include Diet Coke, Mexican food, margaritas, and
some Reese’s PB cups.

parents of their very first grandchild! Cindy has been a part of the crafting world for about 20 years, initially
as a paper-crafting demonstrator and her sought-after design work has placed her on countless design teams. She currently works as a regional instructor for Copic Marker.

years, ever since she first tagged along with a friend to a stamping party. She now works part
time in a preschool with 3 year olds. A few of her favorite things include
ice cream, craft beer, pizza, working out, her lake house, and watching her boys play.
Rounding out our team, Sharon returns to us and we couldn’t be more excited! She has lived in the Houston area for the past few years, where her husband’s work moved them to from Dallas-Fort Worth. (Despite the move, she and her husband of 21 years, both native Texans, are still Cowboys and Rangers fans!) With their two girls, her family enjoys tropical vacation destinations and Sharon is a self-professed lover of flip-flops. Sharon was first introduced to stamping at a crafting party and also worked as a paper-crafting demonstrator.
We have been longtime-fans of Sharon’s work, and her teaching skills are beyond reproach. You can view more of her lovely style on her blog, PaperFections.
Welcome to the team, Ladies! Now, to toast our new team, we’re giving away a $25 Gift Certificate to the TE Store! Here’s how to enter:
