A Little About Me: I'm an energetic SAHM of two active Kiddos. My
daughter Lizzy is five and Just started Kindergarten and my son, Jimmy
is four. I've been married
to my Disabled Veteran Hubby, Eric, for six and a half years and we live in Marlboro Township, Ohio. I originally started
scrapbooking 9 years ago when my hubby and I were just engaged and he
was deployed in Iraq. It's something I did with the other moms, wives & girlfriends to pass the time while the guys were deployed. Once I was working a full time job, got
married & Pregnant, I stopped crafting since I was so busy. I
started crafting again about a year and a half ago and started my blog. I
have
now fallen in love with Digi Stamps, Rubber Stamping, card making and
of course my new
found obsession with Copic Markers! My main theme to crafting, is Crafty
and Green. I always Craft with what I have on hand. I rarely go buy new
things. Most of what I use is what I find around my house, at thrift
stores, garage sales, or acquire from crafty swaps. It's a challenge in
itself to use what I already have. It's also my way to keep my hubby
happy! (If I could find a way to acquire free copic markers, I would,
hehe!!) Other Then Crafting, I enjoy being a stay at home mommy and
wife! My other passion in life is singing, I make
everything I do in life a song!

Hi!! A little bit about me!! I am an addict!! Yes I admit I have a serious addiction! My addiction ranges from pretty design papers to beautiful ribbon, fun and exciting tools, to my beloved Copic and digital images – I tell you it’s a passion and obsession! That I {heart}! I am married to a wonderful man who puts up with my addiction (not that he has a choice) and we are blessed to be raising one of our grandchildren Hunter who is 13 years old and definitely keeps us young and active.

Hi, I am Joann aka Sassy Raggedy. I have been crafting all my life in one form or another. I was the owner of my own boutique in
Denver, Co. for 13 years called "Ragg-A-Muffins". I specialized in decorative painting, but made various items and sold in my boutique; From sewing to candle making to soaps, you name it, we made
it. In addition, I also taught decorative painting in the Denver Area at Hobby Lobby, Michael's and Lee Wards. I still teach a class on decorative painting here in the small town where I now live in Alabama.
I have been married for 33 years, have 2 grown sons who both served in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Card Making has become my new love with crafting at this moment as well as blogland. I love surfing around to see what everyone is making.
Hi,
my name is Ruza Rebel. I’m a SAHM who loves to craft when my daughter
is at school and/or camp, or any chance I can get in my craft room.
I’ve been crafting in one form or another since I was a child ...
crocheting, needlepoint, knitting, scrapbooking, and I started making
cards in August 2009, and never stopped. My blog “Ruza’s Craft Corner”
was created in November 2011 so that I could share my designs with the
crafting community. I have a variety of stamps, from digital to rubber
to cling, but really enjoy the versatility of digital stamps. They are
so much easier to store. You will see me combine stamps from my
collection when they are perfectly matched. I prefer clean and simple
designs, but have been known to go a little crazy at times. Coloring the
images with Copic Markers or Color Pencils is very calming and soothing
for me.
I want to Thank Maribeth for having me back for another term as a QKR Designer.
I am a Christian, Daughter, Sister, Wife and Mother. A bit Sassy and
free spirited. Unabashedly open about my love for Jesus. I am very
happily married for 18 years and blessed with three beautiful girls and
three fur babies. I am also blessed with abundant Creativity and in my
spare time, if I'm not making cards or scrabook pages, I'm blurfing the
net for design ideas!
NEW DESIGN TEAM MEMBERS
My name is Bettina and I am 37 years young;) I am a married mother of
two girls age 2,5 years and 4,5 years. I am from Sandnes in Norway, but
am currently living in Forus with my hubby and kids. I started crafting
in 2009 when I was to have some table decorations for a baptism. It
eventually expanded and I am now completely hooked and I have been
crafting very actively the past two years. I've been and am on several
designteams, most foreign and I prefer to make cards, with and without
folding teqniques, boxes and sometimes I even do LO's.
I usually
colour a lot of stamps, both digital and rubber stamps and for that I
use my beloved promarkers. I also love trying out diverse teqniques and
new tutorials, both for folding teqniques and for different ways to
colour up stamps.
I am thrilled to join in QKR Stampede's very talented design team and can hardly wait to get started!!
Hi, my name is Mian and I´m from Sweden. I´ve been crafting for as long
as I can remember and I started with scrapbooking 15 years ago, cards
was only for family and friends then. Now a days I only do cards, no
scrapbooking at all. I started to blog and started to enter my cards into
challenges in February this year. I`m so honored to be invited to be a Designer for the QKR Stampede Design Team. This is going
to be so much fun! Happy crafting! Hugs Mian
Hi, My name is Deonna Bemish and I’m from
Indiana! I’ve been in card making for many years now. I’ve tried a
little scrap booking, but never could stop making cards. I started my
blog
http://ilovetomakecards.blogspot.com
back in September of 2009. I’ve always been a paper fanatic and I’ve
always loved art/crafts. I love to color with Copic Markers. I’m self
taught, with the help of numerous videos and/or books on coloring with
Copics . I definitely Practice, Practice, Practice.
I have been Designer or Guest Designer for several different
companies. I’m currently on 4 Design teams including QKR Stampede. The
funny thing is “I didn’t apply for these DT‘s, I was asked by each team
to join.” I’ve always had this motto that “If someone likes my work
they will come to me and ask me to design for them”. It has worked and
been a blessing ever since.
Card making is my relaxation and creative outlet from the rest of the world. I have two children, in 6th and 8
th
grades. I spend a lot of time at the horse barn where my daughter rides
and Boy Scouts or sports with my son. I spend a lot of time running
around but, don’t think that stops me from coloring! LOL. There are many
occasions that I’m the crazy women in the lawn chair with all of her
Copic markers coloring while waiting for practice to get over.
Anyway, I’m looking forward to my new adventure with the “QKR
Stampede” Design team and using those fun and a little quirky Digital
stamps.
Hi, My name is Deanne Clarke-Saunders. My
hubby and I live in Newfoundland,Canada. I'm currently not working but I'm
an elementary teacher. I've always LOVED crafting and creating. Right
from childhood, I loved crayons, pencils, paper, scissors, and glue. I always
had fun when I played with those materials. So, I decided to continue that fun
and scrapbook and make cards! I love being creative and enjoy using my
imagination!
