New Design Team

Please scroll down for challenge #76 Winners announcement

The anticipation of bringing in new talent is always exciting and challenging, knowing that you have the dutiful task of narrowing down the choices.  It’s extremely humbling to view all the wonderful art, and we are grateful to everyone who applied.  So before we introduce the newest members to our team, I would like to say THANK YOU so very much for your support! 

I would also like to take the time to thank Karen and Ruth, for keeping everything going for our team and challenges and LOL..making sure I’m on the right page, and Sara for managing and doing all the foot work for our sponsoring.  It is because of their time devotion to Digi Doodle Shop, that I am able to stay more focused on drawing. 

Thank you all!

Karen (Design Team Coordinator)

Ruth (Asst. Design Team Coordinator) 

Sara (Sponsorship Coordinator)

Now if you would please join me in welcoming 10, very talented, ladies to our Digi Doodle Shop family.  We hope that you will take a few minutes to get to know them, and stop by their blogs and say hello.

Annemaritta

I love card crafting, that’s for sure, but it was only few cards once in a while. Just over a year ago this all changed when I was introduced to blog land and colouring. Before it was mainly decoupage but now I’ve spread my wings and love trying new things, techniques, different types of cards and digi stamps definitely are great! Well, in crafting world, what isn’t? That’s the beauty of it, this is fun, therapeutic, nice way to spend good time with friends and make new friends. Being chosen to join this team is something I am very proud of and surely will learn a lot and hopefully I can give something back as well. Unique by Annemaritta, that is my signature. I will be visiting your blogs, see you!

Bettina

Hi my name is Bettina. I am from Sandnes Soutwest in Norway. I am a 36 year old mother of two girls aged 19 months and 38 months (3y,2m). I married my hubby in june 2007. I started scrapping late 2009 thanks to babyverden.no. But it was first in 2010 it really hit the roof. I prefer making cards and boxes, but also make some LO's. I would say my style is mostly vintage and C&S, but I am trying to put more flowers and embellishments on to my projects every time. I also do different styles and techniques in my blog as I wish to develop more knowledge due to scrapping. And I have to say I love my Promarkers as well, as I love to colour stamps;) I am thrilled to be a part of this very talented design team, and am anxiously waiting to do my first challenge as a full fledged DT member;)

Doreen

Hello to you all, I am Doreen an avid paper crafter who likes to have a go at anything. I have been crafting for a few years now and can't get enough of it. I live with my other half in Sheffield in the UK.I have retired from the work scene so have plenty of time for my hobby. I am really looking forward to working with the team Digi doodle Shop Design team.

Linda

I, Linda Compton, am an Addict. There I have published the word. I am addicted to coloring. I love the smell and feel of paper, if it cuts, I want it. I have been addicted to paper crafting for around 12 years now. My addiction first began when my local Optimist Club asked me to be in charge of our scrapbook. I was hooked with the first page and then when it won the national competition, I was hooked for life.
I have stacks of scrapbooks in my home, but a few years ago I discovered card making and I have scrapped very little since then. Some say it is that instant gratification that card making provides. I am not sure I only know that if I am away from my craft table, I get just a teensy bit cranky.
I have a very understanding husband of 45 years who totally supports my hobby. It may be the old saying “When Momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy”, but regardless he remains my biggest supporter. He is a fabulous advisor. He doesn’t even duck when he passes criticism my way. Now that is a true supporter, don’t you agree?
If you follow my blog, www.turtleinthesand.blogspot.com regularly you will get to hear all the antics of my crazy family. We have a son, daughter, son-in-law 5 grandchildren and 2 furry 4 legged children. One of which is my granddaughter’s blue-tick-hound and the other is a silky-poo who even knows how to drive.
I am so excited to be a new member of the Digi Doodle Shop Design Team. I have loved these digis and had so much fun making cards with them in the past. Now I will get to make one every week and my mind is just spinning with things I want to do. I sure hope you will join us in our weekly challenges. I look forward to sharing ideas with you!

Liva

Hi, my name is Liva Kalnina and I come from Latvia. I am happily married, but unfortunately my husband Janis works in Germany and Italy, so that most of the time I'm home alone with my sweet little girls Aleksa (5) and Emilia (2) who fill my days with endless joy and happiness. I have always been creative and have tried almost every craft there is, but my greatest passion seems to stay with papercrafts - cardmaking, scrapbooking and also decoupage. My other obsession is computers - since I first laid my hands on keyboard I would not get them off of it, so naturally (or rather maybe with some good thinking to go against my parents wishes for what should be my profession), I became computer graphics designer. And thus blogging and digital images are just a natural step further, where I can join my love for crafts and computers. I also love inventing some unusual ways to get results, you usually get from crafting tools and materials, with household or handmade tools. So maybe you can pick up some tip or two from me as well. I sincerely hope that I will inspire you as much as any of other crafters on the web inspires me!

Lorraine

I have been crafting for approximately 10yrs, prior to card making I used to do crochet and tapestry.  My love of card making developed while I was on long term sick, I just happened to find Dawn Bibby demoing craft on TV, I was both impressed and inspired so gave it ago, I have not looked back since.  I have progressed from decoupage in the early days to stamping and have tried out many tutorials for making gifts.

Martina

My name is Martina and I live in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I have 5 wonderful kids that keep me very busy. To relax I do all sorts of crafts including card making, knitting, sewing, etc. I started making cards and stamping around the time I had my 5th child. I make my cards almost every night after the kids are in bed and I get some time for myself.  I like all sorts of stamps.  I started with rubber stamps only and found digi stamps very recently. I was intimidated by digi stamps at first, but I LOVE what I can do with digi stamps.  I am very honored to be part of DDS Design team.
 

Starla

Hi, my name is Starla (or Star).  I'm from Minnesota, USA, and am married with one furbaby. I've been crafting my whole life...coloring with crayons, sewing, painting, jewelry-making.  Then, when I got married in April of 2010 a friend of my mom's offered to make the wedding invitations.  I had never seen such beautiful cards!  I took my first card-making class at my local scrap store and my life has never been the same.  A year and a half later I am still in love with card-making, and am blessed to have found a community with such wonderful, caring and inspiring people.  I can't wait to meet all of you!

 

Tammy

My name is Tammy Hair and I am delighted to be part of the Digi Doodles Shop's design team. I am the mother of five adult children and fivegrandchildren. I share my home in Central Pennsylvania with two beautiful golden retrievers and many dust bunnies because I hate domestic chores and could probably write a book of how not to do housework. For 20+ years I was a legal secretary but I am now retired and spend most of my time making cards.
