Kristina – Technical Director & Challenge Coordinator

I’m 29 years old {forever}. Born, raised, and still live in the moderately small town of Commerce Township, Michigan. By trade, I’m a real estate agent currently working as the marketing & closing coordinator for a top producing agent. I’m a dog mommy to my beautiful Cocker Spaniel Bella, who enjoys playing in my paper scraps all over the craft room floor. In addition to crafts, I would have to say my other passions are cooking and music. Oh and Nail Polish!! My crafting style tends to lean towards the “clean and simple”, the opposite of what my craft room looks, but I also like to venture into new techniques whenever possible. Scrapbooking is my true passion, but I recently delved into the world of card making and quite enjoy it….You can visit me at my blog anytime! Live, Love, Laugh, Scrap

Cindy – Design Team Coordinator

Hello, I am Cindy, born in Hong Kong and have been living in Montreal, Canada for many many years. I am a mother of two young adults. I was a programmer analyst working from home, but now retired. I have been making cards for quite a few years now, although I think I am still looking for my style, I must admit I enjoy making “clean and layer” cards, however always willing to try new techniques. Other than stamping, I enjoy cooking and when the weather is nice, I tend my garden.

I never crafted until my sons were 8, 10 and 12. I found ceramics and with a neighbor, purchased green ware, painted, baked in my kiln and marketed on a local scale, all sorts of unique ceramics. Our Baby Grand Pianos were among my winners.Lots of dust and downward swing in the economy lowered my interest in this activity. I tried a craft that took up less space, beading. That is still interesting, but not as much as creating paper projects, especially cards and my oldest stamp is dated 1995. It was an off and on love affair, but finally became an a full fledged passion. There is a saying among card makers, “There is never enough paper”. I am now saying “NO” to paper because it’s taking over my linen closet too. Enough paper for now… well, down to allowing only one paper purchase a month.

Karen – DT

Howdy, I’m Karen. I live in Northern California with my husband, son and two sweet dogs Lucy and Aspen. I have lived in California all my life but have seen many other states.

I have always had a crafty side. When I was young I painted plaster, decorated shirts with fabric images and paint, did some macramé, and a few others. I dabbled many years ago with stamps and punches to make cards. I have come a long way since then. I started scrapbooking about 17 years ago which led me to card making somehow which I have been doing for about 8 years. Once in a great while I do some beading. Just like paper crafting I have collected a lot of supplies.

My favorite craft is making cards. There are so many techniques that can be done with cards which is why I love it. We are lucky today to have access to so many talented card makers for discovering new things to try.

I share my cards on my blog kcskards. You can also find me on Flickr and Instagram

Annie – DT

Hello Friends, my name is Annie Collins and I have been crafting all my life. I started at 4 years old sewing with my mother. My passion for crafting and sharing continued to grow over the years. I love paper crafting the most – all forms of it. I live in sunny Florida with my fantastic family, husband, 3 children and pets. I can’t wait to share some projects and be inspired by all of you.

LeeAnn McKinney – DT

HI, my name is LeeAnn and I am the paper artist for Mimi’s Crafty Abyss. Mimi what my grandbabies call me, and I started paper crafting when my grandson was on the way (started with decor for the nursery). From that decor I quickly moved into making cards, although I had scrap-booked for a few years when my girls were young, I lost the love for it after mom passed away. Finding out I was going to be a Mimi brought that love back, and it exploded.

If I am home, I am in my craftroom, if I am at work, I am thinking of the projects I am going to work on when I get home. One day a week I can bring my crafty fun to work with me, and really enjoy it. You can find me at these social media outlets: facebook, blog (Mimis Crafty Abyss), instagram, twitter, youtube

Linda- Owner

Hi ! Welcome to our blog! I am so excited to be launching this blog. I have been scrapbooking since 2012. I had a heart attack shortly after 9-11 and wanted my kids to know my story. Now I scrap just because it is therapuetic:)

I am addicted to paper. I can just sit and look at it for hours. I really love the girly ones, but with two boys I rarely have an opportunity to use it.

I have been with a2z Scrapbooking since it started in 2007. The company was started to raise money for Celiac and Behcets Awareness. We are all volunteers. I really enjoy working there. I love being able to meet customers from all over the world.
