Welcome January's Guest Designer - Rachel Hope!

>> Friday, December 31, 2010

Give a warm, warm welcome to our guest designer this month, Rachel from Hope Stamps Eternal!
I have been a crafter for 10 years, starting like most most people at a home party. I started with simple scrapbooking, then moved on to Stampin' Up!, I even sold SU for a few years, then I went into a stamp store one day and fell in love with the variety I saw. I have evolved my stamping across many styles. I love clean and simple lines, but tend to mostly create things that are so full of little embellishments and flowers that it is hard to mail them! :-) Being a single Mom with a full time job outside the home my stamping time has become my Zen!

I chose a few of my fav projects from Rachel's blog to share...



Welcome Rachel! We are looking forward to working with you this month!

Get to know the new DT Members!

>> Thursday, December 30, 2010

Here's a little info on our 4 new members... hope you'll be back on the 1st of January to see them in action!


My name is Angi and I live in "Terrific Texas" and I am a mom of two wonderful daughters - Rebekah & Rachel (and our spoiled cat Melodie). By day I am a junior high school teacher. My classroom is full of crafty creations. I've even gotten some of my students to enjoy crafting. By night I am happily sitting at my scrappy table designing all kinds of crafty fun. I'm a scrapper who loves to take something drab and turn it into "Fab". My design style is Fun and Whimsical. I love to make designs that bring a smile to your face. My all-time FAVE is Inspirational Designs. I love to look at a picture of something and design something around it. It's a dream come true to be a part of this talented Etsy Inspired team. Happy Crafting and I hope you all join in the fun here with us!

Hi everyone!  I'm Carole Chesser.  I live in Hanover, MD with the Spousal Unit and our 5 kids.  The youngest is 12 and the oldest is 20, so they really keep us on our toes!  I started scrapbooking in 1995, dabbled a little and put it away for several years.  I didn't start stamping until the fall of 2008 and now I'm well and truly addicted!

I'm a college student, so stamping and other crafts are a much needed outlet for me.  I am both thrilled and honoured to be a part of the EtsyInspired Challenge Design Team!

Ruby McGuire 


My name is Ruby McGuire.  I have a gorgeous 11 year old daughter, two lovely grown up step daughters, a man that treats me like a princess and a totally mad dog called Lulu!  I live in Berkshire in the UK, about an hour and a half from London.  I am a vanilla coffee addict and a self confessed chocoholic!

I’ve been making cards for more years than I dare to mention but it’s only since starting my blog that I feel I have finally found my own style.  I love bright and bold colours, which are reflected in my blog.   If I’m not in the studio you will find me cooking, baking, reading, walking the dog or my new found fun hobby of shopping with my daughter!   I am always on the look out to learn new things, either through card making or some other kind of learning.  They say the biggest room in the world is the room for improvement! 

I am SO excited to have been chosen to be part of the EIC team.  I am quite a visual person so I love that you can use pictures to inspire you, which can then take you off in so many unexpected directions! 


Hi, My name is Sherry Campbell.  I am an Account Supervisor for the Smithfield Foods Division for C.R. England Global Transportation.   It is an extremely demanding job so I am happy to have stamping and paper crafting to help me de-stress. I am very excited to be part of the EtsyInspired Challenge Design Team.  This is one of the best weekly challenges in my opinion- Art Inspiring Art- how can you get better than that?
