It’s time to introduce to you our new Inspiration Team for 2015. But first, we must say goodbye to one of our 2014 team members. Kendra Sand has done a wonderful job over the past year and I am sad to see her go. Thank you, Kendra! You can visit her blog here: Luv 2 Scrap n’ Make Cards.
I am happy to tell you that Lynda Lindley (Blog: Positive Force) and Andrea Slee (Blog: Drea’s Scraps of Inspiration) are both staying on for 2015! They’ve done a fabulous job this past year, wouldn’t you say? And I’m glad to see them return for another year.
Also a big thank you to all of you who submitted your applications for the 2015 Inspiration Team. We had a lot of great designers to choose from, which made it very difficult!
And now I am thrilled to introduce to you two new designers for our 2015 Inspiration Team!
Barb Thompson (Blog: Cards and Paper Fun)
Hi I'm Barb Thompson and my journey into stamping came about 6 years ago when my husband retired, I quit working and we moved to a smaller town in Arizona. I needed a hobby so my sister who is a long time scrap booker and stamper gave me a kit and a few lessons on stamping and as they say I was hooked! My specialty is card making and love coloring with Copics. I hope I can inspire you to dig out those stamps and use them.
Melissa Oeters (Blog: Needful Things)
Hello, my name is Melissa and I live out in the country of a very small town located in Illinois. I'm happily married and my husband and I have four children, 3 boys and 1 girl. We also have quite a group of pets including 6 dogs, a cat, and a horse. I started getting into paper arts about twenty years ago when someone suggested I scrapbook. Little did I know that scrapbooking would be the stepping stone to my paper arts addiction! Everyday that I can I'm working on some project, it's not just a hobby, it's become a way of life for me.
When I'm not involved in a paper arts you can find me volunteering for animal rescues (answers the question about all the dogs, right). I also ride hunter jumper, do a lot of reading, and am on the local school board. I am so excited to be joining the Red Rubber Designs Team and do hope that I will inspire you to stamp along with us.
Please join me in welcoming our new 2015 Inspiration Team!
