Welcome our new Design Team!

Can you believe it's July already?!?! This summer is flying by. And one of the things I'm looking forward to is working with these amazingly talented ladies.

So, without further adieu, I would like to introduce to you the newest Card Patterns design team. Please give them a warm welcome!

Agata Pfister: Under Construction

"Hi, my name is Agata. I'm Polish living in Switzerland from the day I got married to a great (and very handsome ;-)) guy! We now have two cute kids, a boy of 3 and a girl of 1 year. They keep us quite busy!

I was always interested in crafting. I tried cross-stitch, Handanger, ribbon stitching, beating, etc. I started scrapbooking in autumn 2006; soon after I discovered clean & simple and fell in love! But also I realized that it's not as simple as it looks so I keep on trying. I started stamping about a year ago and soon became an addict, sort of. Today, I can't imagine a card without a stamp and some distress inks! But I love to learn new things and I also started using digital images. I'm very honoured to be part of Card Patterns and am looking forward to working with my fellow designers!"

Anthea McConachy: Live Life Beautifully

"Hello! I'm honoured to be part of the Card Patterns design team. I'm 27 years old, and I live in Victoria, Australia. Being creative is a necessity for me- I have been creating for as long as I can remember. I enjoy using many different types of embellishments on my cards; often I make them myself or use recycled and vintage items I find on my frequent shopping trips.

I have been published in Australian Papercraft Essentials, Australian Simply Cards, Australian Cardmaking Stamping & Papercraft, Scrapbook Creations, and Scrapbook Trends CARDS. I recently started my own business, part of which is an online shop where I sell my cards."

Heather Jensen: Simply Handmade by Heather

"Hello, name is Heather. I am married to a wonderful man and have a 10 year old son. We live in northern Alabama. I have been into paper crafts for about 4 years now. I am so excited to become part of Card Patterns design team. I have made so many friendships in blog land and I look forward to meeting many more here. My style is feminine and a little shabby-chic inspired. Can't wait to see what all of you designs!"

Be sure to leave them some love here and to stop by their blogs because they're just oozing with talent. Their first cards will be up this Saturday with sketch 71 and I hope you'll stop by then to see what they created.
