INGRID - BELGIUM

Hallo .... Ik ben Ingrid en woon in België te Eeklo , ik ben gehuwd, heb een dochter en twee schattige kleindochters !
Ik ben gek op borduren, scrappen en kaartjes maken maar vooral op stempels, daar kan ik niet genoeg van krijgen .

Het scrappen en al wat er bij hoort ontdekte ik in 2003 en sindsdien is het niet meer uit mijn leven weg te denken, het is eigenlijk en passie geworden .
Scrapkaarten maken en borduren horen eveneens tot mijn hobby's en op die manier heb ik een aangename afwisseling !

Naast stempels hou ik van leuk dessinpapier en bloemen , ook een beetje bling mag er bij en af en toe een beetje vintage !

Mijn scrapprojekten kan je vinden op mijn blog!

SASKIA - BELGIUM

Ik ben Saskia, 39 jaar jong. Samen met mijn echtgenoot en zoon (bijna 10 jr) woon ik in Reet. Sinds een paar jaar ben ik huismama. Ik hou van lekker eten, een gezellige babbel en een goed boek.

Ik heb altijd graag geknutseld. 2 Jaar geleden ben ik begonnen met kaarten maken, eerst 3d-kaartjes. Maar vorig jaar ontdekte ik dat werken met stempels ook heel leuk is. Begin 2009 ben ik gestart met mijn blog ( http://lusaro-snippers.blogspot.com/ ). Een nieuwe wereld ging voor me open... zoveel creatieve mensen in de wereld! En zoveel inspiratie!

De nieuwe stempels van In2Hobby vind ik heel mooi en ik kijk al uit om er mee aan de slag te gaan!

Groetjes,
Saskia

NORMA - CANADA

Hello, my name is Norma.  I live in Vancouver, at the west coast of Canada.  I like to garden, to read, to listen to music and most of all to create something.   

It seems that I am always making one kind of arts-and-crafts thing or another.  I guess I don’t like to be idle.  I love any kind of papercraft and I’ve also done some cross-stitching, quilting, scrapbooking, rubber stamping and even woodcrafting (intarsia).  But currently cardmaking occupies my time.

I have been making my own cards for as long as I can remember, but it was never on a regular basis.  Whenever a card is needed, then I would make one. 

Earlier this year, I stumbled into the blogging world and I discovered these 'cute' stamp images which were coloured so beautifully.  I quickly became addicted to them and the style of my cards have changed completely to include these cutesies. 

I actually started my blog on a whim.  I didn't think I was ready or knew enough about blogging to set one up.  I am so glad I took the plunge.  Not only has my blog provided me with a creative outlet, but I am so thankful for the many blogging friends that I now have.  This is a learn-in-progress for me and I hope it will remain to be so, as I love to continue learning.

It's such a pleasure for me to share my work.  In the same way that I get inspirations from other people's creations, I hope what I create will also inspire others. 

I am so thrilled to be joining the DT members at In2stamps and am looking forward to working with the In2stamps images.  A huge thank you to Wendy and Bruno for giving me this opportunity.

ISABELLE - FRANCE

Bonjour, je suis française, j'ai 42 ans et la fière maman de deux enfants Andréa et Quentin. En plus d'être une maman je suis totalement passionnée de loisirs créatifs. J'ai commencé les cartes en 2004 et depuis je suis totalement accro. La carterie et les tampons sont désormais une part très importante de ma vie, et j'espère que cela continuera très, très longtemps.
Mon style est souvent romantique, mais j'aime aussi tous les autres styles, J'aime utiliser énormément de techniques et de produits, et je passe toujours beaucoup de temps sur de petits détails.
C'est un grand honneur pour moi de créer pour In2stamps et de faire partie de leur équipe, Merci Wendy et Bruno pour cette superbe opportunité!

ANGELIQUE - NETHERLANDS

“Hi! Ik ben Angélique, 31 jaar, en woon op dit moment met mijn 2 schatten van poezen, Jet en Gizmo, in Den Haag, Nederland. Heerlijk dicht bij het strand, maar ook vlakbij (kleine bossen) waar ik graag vertoef in alle jaargetijden.

In mijn dagelijks leven ben ik kleuterjuf en ik geniet er nog iedere dag van!

Ik houd van het leven en scrapbooking heeft mij al een aantal jaar in de greep en sinds een aantal jaar heeft ook het werken met (cute-) stempels mijn voorkeur gekregen. Heerlijk om hiermee te werken. Ik kleur de stempels graag in met mijn Derwent-potloden en mijn Copic markers. Heerlijk om mee te werken!

Ik houd ervan creatief bezig te zijn, zowel als hobby als tijdens het werken met de kinderen… het beste van twee werelden!

Ik kijk er naar uit om met de stempels van In2Stamps te werken en jullie te inspireren met mijn werk. Wendy en Bruno bedankt voor deze kans!”

IDA - NORWAY

Hi everyone, I'm Ida (also known as Little) and I come from a small city 20 Min outside of Oslo in Norway. Here I have my own craft room where I sit and enjoy card making. I'm not sure if I have a certain style, but I try to challenge my self to go outside of my comfort zone from time to other when I see that all my cards turn out very similar. I have a Passion for ProMarkers and call them my babies, and I love to colour with them, other fave crafty things at the moment are my vintage photo distress ink, all my rubber stamps (I can never get enough), white and black ink pens and Spellbinders. I hope I can inspire you to get crafty with the In2Stamps stamps and hope that you will follow us here on the blog to see all the design teams creations.

PATI - SWITZERLAND

Hello everyone, my name is Patricia (Pati), I am 31 years old and married to my wonderful husband Marco. We live in the country, 30 minutes outside of Zurich in Switzerland.

My Sister started already using stamps when she still was a teenager. Many years later, in 2003, we went to our first craft exhibition, where I was totally fascinated about the beautiful projects you can create. I slowly started to buy one stamp at a time and when I discovered all the cute images, I definitely became addicted to Rubberstamps. Now the whole family, except for my father, are sharing the same hobby! 

When I came back from the journey in Australia, in January 2009, I discovered Copic Markers. It took me a while to find out how they work but practice makes perfect. And now I can’t imagine to be without them anymore!

This is the first time ever, being in a Design Team and of course I am very excited. I would like to thank Wendy and Bruno, for giving me the opportunity to be part of the “family”. I am looking forward working with In2Stamps and very much hope, that I can inspire you.

PENNI - UK

Hi, I’m Penni and I am 41 years old.  I was born in Nottingham, where I still live with Simon, my wonderful husband of 10 years, and our two sons Edward 9 and William 7.   We also have the pleasure of being owned two “lazy” Bengal cats, Thomas and Pablo – hence my blog being called Lazy Cats Cards!!!!

I work part-time (two days a week) at Nottingham City Hospital as a PA Medical Secretary to four Consultants in the Oncology Department.  I love my job and have worked there for 15 years.  When I started I worked full-time and was lucky enough to be able to return to a part-time, job-share, position after I had Edward and then kept this position following my maternity leave and a two year career break when I had William. 

My card making started 3 years ago and since then I have spent almost every spare moment creating my miniature works of art. I enjoy working with die-cuts and CD creations, but my current big obsession is with stamped images which I then paint or colour (Copic pens are a must-have for me!). Inspiration comes from anywhere and everywhere and I am always open to suggestions or new ideas – it gives me an excuse to spend more money and increase the stock in my toy-cupboard!!!

In April I set up my first Blog. Although I was apprehensive at first, it was great to see the reaction from everyone. My list of followers has steadily increased and I now have a wide circle of on-line crafting friends from around the world. 

I am really looking forward to being part of this great team!!
