AMBER KEMP-GERSTEL: Amber’s Blog
I’m Amber and I’ve been a crafty gal ever since I can remember! At five, I built paper forts for my Cabbage Patch dolls! Since then, I’ve lived in four states and received a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology – but one thing hasn’t changed…I still love getting crafty with paper. My style is bright, graphic, clean & simple and just 5 minutes of crafting can be the difference between a good and a great day! {sw editor}

AUDREY TOKACH: Audrey’s Blog
I’m a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful boys and have been happily married to my wonderful husband for 11 years. I started papercrafting in 2001 and was introduced to stamping in 2009. It is my passion and go-to stress relief remedy. I truly enjoy my time spent in my craft room.

ELENA ROUSSAKIS: Elena’s Blog
I drink lots of coffee. Lots. I’ve been happily married for nine years. I’m a 30-something mom of three kids under the age of seven. When I’m not playing dress-up or cooking or cleaning the same messes for the 26th time in the same day, I like to make pretty things.

JENNIFER RZASA: Jennifer’s Blog
I am an elementary music teacher. I live with my husband, Dave, in Massachusetts. I love performing, skateboarding, playing video games, and of course crafting. I have pretty busy days- after work I teach private instrumental lessons, but I always make sure to save time each night to play with paper! In addition to cardmaking, I also paint fashion illustrations, make jewelry, and sew.

KIM DURAN: Kim’s Blog
I am a mom of two children who enjoys spending time creating cards and other paper crafts to give to family and friends. They always tease me because I have been known to take my craft with me everywhere I go! You can find me crafting in the trailer during family camping trips and coloring during my lunch break. For me, there is always a time and place to create something lovely for someone else.

LORI TECLER: Lori’s Blog
I was someone who was convinced that I wasn’t creative at all but that has changed. I’ve been stamping and paper crafting for close to five years now. I work in the education field (I’m a former kindergarten teacher) I spend my free time stamping, reading, enjoying time with family and friends, and missing my crazy dog, Cosmo…training my cutie puppy, Chloe.

STEPHANY ZERBE: Stephany’s Blog
I’m a Graphic Designer by trade. Currently a SAHM. Papercrafting is my little getaway during nap time. My favorite type is 3-D and stamping! I’ve been crafty since I can remember but stamping has been a new found love for about 8 years now. I have a crazy big collection, it’s almost embarrassing. I can’t help myself, I have to have every cute image out there! {illustrator}
