Welcome to our new Designers!

Where exactly has the time gone? We all probably ask ourselves that. Time seems to fly by! On behalf of the Card Patterns family, we wish you the best for 2011.

We have hand-picked our new designers that will join & share their talent with us for the next 6 months, from January to June 2011. They have been our Guest Designers in the past and have been participating with us for almost 2 years.

Let's welcome and get to know our new team! You can click on their names to go to their blog and leave them some love!

Anja Curvers

Scrappietoo

Fun Fact: Anja has never missed a Card Patterns sketch! Even if she goes for vacation, she always makes up for the sketches that she missed. Now that is what we call commitment!

"Hi there I live in the south of the Netherlands with my hubbie and 4 kids in the age of 17, 15, 13, and 9.

I’m addicted to making cards and working with papers. I'm very excited to play along with one of my favorite sketches sites, never missed a sketch. And I hope I’ll be able to give you all the inspiration I get from making these sketches and join in the fun."

Lindsay Amrhein

Note to Self

"Hi! My name is Lindsay and I live in northeast Ohio with my husband and little boy. I have been papercrafting for about six years and enjoy sharing my love of crafting with others by giving handcrafted cards. This hobby has opened up a huge network of friends and ideas for me. I have only been stamping for a year now but have learned so many fun and versatile techniques to use in my projects.

In that time frame I have come to love card sketches and Card Patterns has always had the perfect sketch to help me out of a creative slump. You can find me at my blog http://lindsayamrhein.blogspot.com and in upcoming publications such as Cards and Papercrafts Magazines."

Vanessa Menhorn

Wings of a Butterfly

"Hello, my name is Vanessa. I am living in Germany with my husband, our sweet two year old daughter, and our cute cat. I've been addicted to card making for a bit over two years now and I am so very excited to become a member of THE Card Patterns Design Team! Blogworld opened a door to exciting paper crafts adventures for me, I met many wonderful women through it and I can't wait to see what every new day brings!"

And last but not the least, a friend to many of you.

Amy Tsuruta

Tsuruta Designs

"Hello!!! Amy here and I could NOT be more thrilled to be a part of the Card Patterns Design Team. I've been a long time fan of Card Patterns and I'm so honored to be a part of all the excitement!

I live in the wonderful state of Washington with my 2 gorgeous kids. I'm engaged to the most magnificent man that is learning a ton about being crafty...or at least being with someone that obsessively crafty! I truly enjoy being creative and LOVE being inspired by others."

Don't forget! We go live again this coming Saturday, January 8 with a brand new sketch. We'll post the Super 6 winners tomorrow.

Thanks for visiting!
