Design Team Introductions Day 4

LeAnne Pugliese

"Hi, I'm LeAnne Pugliese and I live with my husband John in southeastern Pennsylvania.  I've been stamping for almost twenty years and I love lots of different styles...clean & simple and vintage are two of my favorites!  I confess to having more stamps and paper than I can possibly use in a lifetime!!  One of the joys in my life is crafting and creating with my granddaughter Cassidy...she has a style all her own!  I look forward to creating with Laurel and all the talented artists on the Inspired By team!"

Julia Stainton

Hi I'm Julia Stainton and I'm from Ontario Canada where I make my home in a century old farmhouse. Hubby and I live with three of our five children and we enjoy escaping to the Great Lakes as often as possible. I love chocolate and good books, photography and making lots of paper messes.

Crafting has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember and I love learning new things. From embroidery to painting, from smocking and sewing, to DIY or knitting...it's all been part of my creative life. Card making is my main focus these days but I love scrapbooking and mixed media too. I've been blessed to have been working in the industry in many forms for over ten years and am so excited to be joining the fabulous designers for the Inspired By Challenge. Online paper crafting challenges have been a huge part of my creative journey and I just can't wait to be inspired by the Inpsired By Challenges!

Design Team Introductions Day 1

Didn't the design team rock their first challenge?!  I am honored to have such amazing artists joining me.

Without further ado, today we will learn a little more about Teresa and Amber.

First up.... the one who gave me the push I needed to build a team.  It was brewing in the back of my mind, but Teresa is the one who got the ball rolling :) 

Teresa Kline

Hi friends, I am Teresa Kline. I have always been creative and have been making cards and designing for over twelve years. I have had the honor of being on several design teams and guest postions. I am married and I am a fur baby mom to two sweet boxers. I enjoy interior design, diy, and mailing my card to others for an uplifting word of encouragement. I enjoy a good card challenge and find inspiration in all sorts of things. You can find me in lots of places...I am the coordinator for cards for a cause at splitcoaststampers, my blog: paperie blooms, and ig: 2klines. I hope you are encouraged by my creations and also make time to mail a card to someone who needs a little lift. #sendmoresnailmail

Amber Trubiak

My name is Amber Trubiak, and I live in a small  farming town in Saskatchewan Canada! My "real-life" job is as a bookkeeper, and my hard working hubby is a Municipal Employee and Firefighter. I am a proud mama to 2 and a little boy holds my heart and calls me "Grandma". 

I have been getting inky for well over 10 years, and I would say my style is more CAS. I love creating simple cards and 3D projects just to brighten someone's day - even if it's just a little! When I am not surrounded by paper (either at home OR at work!) I love to be out in my garden or puttering in my kitchen. I am so excited to be a part of Inspired By.... and I cannot wait to inspire YOU!
