Welcome Dusty!

Hi everyone! I'm so proud to introduce a new DT member, Dusty Rae, who will begin creating with us in LTSCB #43, our next challenge that will launch a little later this morning! Dusty is a super talented designer and we consider ourselves very lucky that she agreed to join our team! Be sure to check out her blog Dust Makes Rainbows - we know you're gonna love what you see!

Without further ado, heeeeeere's Dusty...

          Hello Wonderful  People! I am Dusty Rae from Dust makes Rainbows, and I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am to be  here at Love to Scrap!  I am a 29 year old Arkansas Girl who fell for an Oklahoma Boy. We’ve been together 12 years, and married for 10. We have a wonderful daughter,  Rebekah, who just turned 9, and an awesome son, Rhyder, who’s 5.  We have lived in Oklahoma for nearly our entire relationship, though we did have 4 years in Arizona for my husband to attend medical school. It was in Arizona that I discovered my love for paper crafts. I have always had an obsession for stationary and most things paper, but it took the Cricut infomercials to throw me across the line into the paper crafting world. I had no idea what I was missing. It took me a couple of years to find my niche of card making.

          Card making has been my therapy and hobby for almost 2 years now.  I have amassed quite a hoard collection of supplies.  I am no longer just a die cutter,  I am a stamper, colorer,  and many other-ers :) The paper crafting community has opened the door to a world of people, products, and projects I never knew existed. My favorite thing about crafting is that I can be creative without needing to be artistic because I have zero artistic ability. My goal in every project I make is to make it happy and fun, and I want it to look happy and fun as well.  I really hope you all can see that in each of my creations.  I am looking forward to sharing all of my projects with you all :)


Welcome aboard, Dusty! Again, we're so happy you've joined our team and look forward to lots of fun crafting together!

Hugs,
Leslie & the DT

Welcome Linda!

Click HERE for our current challenge!

Hi everyone! I'm very happy to introduce you to our newest design team member, Linda Allen! She is one talented lady and we are super stoked that she has agreed to join our team! Her blog is Cards and Stuff - be sure to check it out and leave her some love. I know you'll love what you see! Linda will begin creating with us in LTSCB #43 that will launch on December 1st!

So without further ado, here's our newest teammie, Linda...

My name is Linda and I am so happy to be part of the Love to Scrap Design Team. I live in South Carolina, USA.  I’m a retired second grade teacher. My 2 children are grown, so now I have lots of time to play in my craft room. I have always like crafting beginning with cross stitch, needlepoint, and smocking. I am learning to crochet, but my real love is paper crafts, especially making cards and shopping for supplies to make cards. I love challenges, because they give me a start to trying new things. I’m excited to be sharing our projects and getting to know you all. 

Welcome aboard, Linda! We are so happy you're now a member of our design team, and look forward to lots of fun times crafting together!

Big hugs,

Leslie & the DT

Welcome Ann!

Hi everyone! I'm super stoked to introduce you to our new design team member, Ann Chuang! Ann has been a regular player in our challenges for quite some time now. She is an amazing paper artist and we are so thankful she agreed to join us! Her blog is called Ann's Cardmaking Garden - please pay her a visit and leave her some love. I know you're going to like what you see! Ann will begin creating with us in LTSCB #41 that will launch on November 3rd!

So without further ado, here's our new teammie, Ann...

Hello everyone! My name is Ann Chuang. I'm so delighted to be a part of the Love To Scrap! Design Team!  I live in Taiwan. I am a junior high school math teacher and a mom of 3 children Hedy 14, Vivian 12 and Eason 6. I started crafting about 2012. At that time, I started making very simple cards that would take me hours to make, but the look of pure joy that people give you after receiving a handmade card is worth every second! I always believe that " the handmade has temperature ". I love sharing my love of stamping/cardmaking with everyone & I'm really looking forward to sharing my creations with all of you! Thank you Leslie & my other teammates for inviting me to be a part of your awesome team!!

A very warm welcome to you, Ann! We are so happy to have you on our team and look forward to lots of fun crafting together!

Big hugs,

Leslie & the DT
