Hi my name is Vanessa. I have been a crafter for several years but just now decided to blog about the things I make. I am a 28 year-old stay-at-home wife. My favorite embossing technique is heat embossing. I just love how my cards turn out when I emboss either images or sentiments. I got my Cuttlebug several months ago, and have never quit using it since the very first time I sat it down on my desk.

My Blog: Meredith Scraps
My name is Meredith and I’m from Sydney, Australia. I am a mother to 2 gorgeous boys, they are 2 and 6. I am lucky enough to be able to stay home and look after my family most of the time but I am also a hairdresser (part time these days) and design for my local store. I discovered scrapbooking about 4 years ago and never looked back. I am totally addicted and now that I have discovered card making I can’t get enough of it! Since I discovered You Tube and blogging I have been so inspired and amazed at the talent that it is out there. I love how technology is allowing us “Scrappers” to share our creativity, inspire and learn from others and make friends all over the world. I am so excited about being part of “The Cuttlebug Spot” design team.

Blog: Scrappy Arts Crafters
Hi, I’m Theresa, I’m a legally blind scrapper living in South Texas with my wonderful hubby of 20 years, and our beautiful grandson whom we are raising. I have been crafting most of my life, however, only scrapping the past 4 years. I don’t think there is a right or wrong way to scrap, and I don’t have one specific style, although, I do tend to gravitate towards the shabby chic/distressed look. I am TOTALLY honored to be joining this team of wonderfully talented crafters.
Brenda
Hello I live in California with my wonderful husband and son. I am so excited to be apart of The Cuttlebug Spot Design Team. I have always enjoyed crafts in one form or another. About five years ago I was invited to a Stampin' Up party and boy was I hooked. Now five years later I am still enjoying it as much if not more than when I first started. I like to think of paper crafting as my therapy. I love learning new techniques. The paper crafting community is so wonderful, I have made many great friends.
Julia
I live in New Jersey and Florida with my wonderful, adorable husband, Steve. I am a SAHW with so many different interests. My favorite hobby is paper crafting, whether it be card making, scrapbooking, or making 3D projects. When I'm not paper crafting, I'm playing either tennis or golf. I also belong to a Mahjong group and a bowling league. I'm a fitness fanatic. My fitness routine includes, Zumba, Spinning, and Boot Camp.
Helen
I've always been creative, but started papercrafting about five years ago, when I decided to make my own Christmas cards. I began with just a couple of rubber stamps, and ink pads...but over time my stash has expanded, as I've tried new techniques, and I can now barely fit my stash of paper flowers in the little box that used to house my complete collection! My favourite craft tool is my Cuttlebug...I love to create texture with embossing folders on my cards, and hardly ever make a card without using my 'Bug in some way.'
Agnes
My name is Agnes aka flowerdisco. I love card making and paper crafts and I am in love with my Cricut products. I started a blog last year to share some of my work and it has become part of my life. I am blessed with a son who has made my husband and I more than proud with all he has accomplished in his young life. Now, I have been accomplishing some things with my hobby too. I am so very honored to be here at the Cuttlebug Spot and I thank Nilda for having faith in me. My goal is to have fun here with you, my hobby and maybe give you some inspiration with my projects.

Greetings! My name is Donna Rinckel and I live in Bloomington, Indiana. I have three almost grown children (two in college) and married to my best friend, Tom. I was introduced to stamping in 2008 after my mother passed away. My Mom sent cards for every occasion and after I discovered stamping I decided I wanted to honor her memory by continuing her tradition. I love to paper craft and cross stitch. I work full time for the Indiana University Registrar and I volunteer for Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. I am so excited to be part of the Cuttlebug Spot Design Team and look forward to inspiring you with my creations.
