New DT members

We want to thank everyone who applied for our current DT call. There were so many wonderful entries and it was really hard to narrow it down, which is why we have added more members than originally anticipated.  If you weren't selected, we hope you will try again next year and continue to play along with us.

Please welcome:

JoAnn 

Hello, my name is JoAnn Burnham and  I am thrilled to be joining the DT of Christmas Card Challenges.  I have been doing crafts most of life, but started scrapbooking and card making in 1998, and quickly became addicted.  I love making cards for family and friends.  I live in a small town in Central Florida and in fact, was born and raised here so I am a natural Floridian.  I look forward to sharing my creations with you.

Shirley Anne

Lover of stamping , tearing, embossing , punching ,piecing and all things to do with paper craft. I am a sharer of papercraft hints and tips with several ladies on Tuesdays and Fridays  and love to make up card kits for them to make and take . I have been cardmaking for 14 years or so but have had my own craft room only the last  10 years  It is what I describe as organised chaos! I papercraft at night mostly, when Hubby is sleeping .I try to create/blog/research something crafty every day. I am inspired by all  of the talented bloggers out there. My favourite colours are from the Autumn spectrum and my most used tool is the Stamp-a-ma-jig .

Jessica

Hi, I'm Jessica and I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with my husband, two feisty senior shelties, one tortoiseshell kitten, and a no-nonsense dutch bunny.  As a music teacher and a freelance harpist I live a very creative and ever-changing life; however, I am drawn to paper-crafting for the different artistic outlet it provides.  I love the visual and hands-on aspect of card-making and enjoy finding the perfect stamp, sentiment, or embellishment for a project!  When I'm not teaching, performing, or crafting I can be found cooking, experimenting with my camera, playing with my four-footed herd, or diy-ing around the house!  I look forward to celebrating Christmas year-round on the Christmas Card challenge design team!

Gail

My name is Gail and I live in Leicester in the UK, with my lovely husband Kevin and our 6 month old Cockerpoo MillieI started to craft about 10 years ago when I made a scrapbook for our 2 year old grand daughter as a memoir of her first holiday with us. A friend then introduced me to Pro marker pens, stamping and card making, and I was hooked.  This is my first DT place and I am looking forward to working with the rest of the team, and also visiting all your blogs

Carol

Hello, My name is Carol and I live with my husband just outside Manchester in the North West of England. I am an empty nester and have 3 wonderful,  grown up children who live reasonably close, so I get to see them regularly.  

About 15 years ago we were staying with some friends in the South of England when she showed me some cards she had made to sell for her local church, and encouraged me to have a play with some of her supplies. Soon afterwards I bought my first stamp and the rest, as they say, is history. My first love was scrapbooking and I made albums for each of my children before going on to make gift albums for friends. I still make the odd gift album but now my passion is card making. When our children had all left home, my husband kindly agreed to my taking over their playroom as my craft room. Who knew that one little stamp could grow into the mountain of supplies that I have stashed in there!!! 

Tenia

Hello my name is Tenia Nelson and I am a 30 something wife, momma, doggie momma, jazz pianist, music teacher, soccer player and paper crafter that lives in the 5280 (Denver, CO)! I am married to a wonderful guy named Tim, I am momma to my awesome son Thelonious (Theo) and I have two wonderful doggie "kids" Miles and Brillo. I love me some paper, inks, stamps and embellishments...and just LURVE to create!!! 


These ladies will be joining the rest of the team and you will start seeing their cards in a week or two.
