Hello!

 
We would like to welcome you on a special edition of Cuttlebug Mania!!!
To introduce 4 additions to our wonderful Design team!
 
Deneen, Kim and Jannie are thrilled to have you in our Cuttlebug Mania Family!
 

My name is Belinda Baker.  
I have been making cards about 15 years. Card making became a passion when I found scrapbooking and started using stickers, die-cuts, embellishments and stamps on my creations. 
 I don’t think I really have a style.  I enjoy CAS as well as multiple patterns on my cards.  I do enjoy making my own patterned paper using stamps.  It gives me lots of options.
I have been blogging since 2010 and am on Facebook and Pinterest. 
 I am currently a Stay at Home Homemaker.  I am the mom of three feline fur babies:  Sophie (10), Zach a.k.a. Bubbe (8.5)
and Lucy (7).
All three are adopted from our local shelter or found me at work.

I'm so delighted to be a part of the Cuttlebug Mania Design Team! 
I've been card making more years than I care to remember, at least 20 for sure. I'm lucky enough to have my own craft room (referred to by my lovely chap as 'the cave') and just love playing with card and paper.
My little pink Cuttlebug sits on the desk beside me, embossing and die cutting are such an integral part of my card making that I'd be lost without it.

I started my little blog in Spring 2010 and have made so many wonderful friends, some of whom I've been lucky enough to meet in 'real life' and they have proved what a fabulous community we're a part of.

In addition to my blog, for the last three years I've been looking after The Pixie's Snippets Playground, a weekly fun challenge where all you have to do is to use up some snippets/scraps and just have fun.
And that's what I think crafting is all about - fun!

I'm very excited to become part of the DT with Cuttlebug Mania. 
I'm a stay at home mom of three wonderful children, my daughter is almost 17 and my two sons are 15 and 12. Growing up in a military family we lived in many different states around the US and even spent 3 years in England, I now live in Texas and have been here for a little over 20 years.
I have been scrapbooking for 16 years and making cards for 6. 

My name is Lisbeth and I have always been creative. Ever since I was young I was knitting or crochet. Later on I discovered origami and 3D cards.
About 6 years abo I bought my Cuttlebug! I am scrapping every day!
I love my Cuttlebug and my style is a combo of contemperay and vintage. I have been a guest designer at Sketchy Challenge en am a designer for different blogs.
