Hi! My name is Jennifer Scull, and I am a 45 year old papercraft addict! :)  But really, I have been doing papercrafts for about 10 years. I started as a scrapbooker, but went to that ONE stamping party like many of us and haven't stopped making cards since! grins! I really really love the vintage/shabby style, but tend to throw in that touch of whimsy when I get the chance. You never quite know what might pop up on something I make! :) I have to have my ribbons and trims, well, and the buttons and primas, goodness, pretty much just embellies in general! giggles!

My family is truly quite supportive of my habit. I have been married for 23 years to my college sweetheart and have 3 teenage boys.  We live in northeast Ohio in a quaint little village right in the heart of maple syrup country and the snowbelt. My house is a comfy century home complete with a barn full of cats and 2 big labradors. We truly couldn't be happier!

Yes it's true....I'm a cheesehead!  I may live in Arizona now, but I was born and raised in Wisconsin and I must confess that I am a Packer fan.  Besides reading and crocheting, I love, love, love to make and give handmade cards!  I started out in the scrapbooking world, but decided a smaller canvas was a more creative niche for me.  I work full time at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Scottsdale, where I am an Administrative Professional.  I have an awesome group of cardmaking friends that keep me motivated and inspired, and I am amazed at who I have met from around the world in blogland. Besides all of that....the boyfriend and his 3 children call me Jeannie-girl, and I wish for world Peace.....no really I do!!!

I’m Jana!  Proud US Coast Guard wife and mom to 3 fabulous kids.  My husband is currently stationed in Kodiak, Alaska.  Living in Alaska has been quite an adventure.  My stamping became my ‘sanity’ during our first winter here.  It was so dark and so cold, I thought I would go crazy, but then I found that paper crafting and stamping was my release and my escape.  I have always been crafty… I also enjoy sewing, machine embroidery, cooking and photography.  I started scrapbooking back in high school – cutting out newspaper articles and pictures.  Saving tickets and corsages from dances.  I attended my first scrapbook party about 11 years ago, shortly after the birth of my first daughter, Carlie.  I was introduced to stamping after we arrived here on the island, and thank goodness I was!!  Stamping was my outlet.  It was my connection to other people and got me out of the house and socializing.  It has been an amazing experience to share my passion for crafting with my kids, especially my daughter Carlie.

http://a-scrapaddict.blogspot.com/
My name is Deanne Burton and I live in Newfoundland, Canada. I am a wife to the BEST man on Earth!. We have 2 teenage sons, ages 15 and 18 and a darling little Bichon Poo named Meika (who is a little over a year old).I'm a Grade 6 teacher/art teacher/librarian and have been teaching for quite a number of years!!!! I love it!
OK, I should have said this right from the get-go... I AM A SCRAP ADDICT!!! Yes! I love scrapping and spend some part of my day with paper, scissors and glue in my hands.
I've recently  become "addicted" to digis and Copics! I always swore I would NEVER buy a Copic but, guess what, I buckled under the immense pressure and now am a proud owner of a "truckload" of them! I've always loved coloring. From the first time I held  a Crayola crayon in my hand, I've been coloring. My favorite smell has ALWAYS been Crayola crayons, nothing else like it! I've always been very creative. My favorite subject was always Art! I designed and sewed my own Barbie clothes when I was a girl (I loved my little sewing machine I got for Christmas when I was 12) and did my bouquet, veil and even wedding cake for my wedding in 1990.
My word for 2010 is JOY and let me tell you that I felt joy when I read that I made the design team at Shirley's 2 Girls. I adore their digis and am so happy when I'm creating with them!

I have been crafting since I was little. My mom always was very crafty and I loved to help her. I started making cards after I turned 11 and have been doing it ever since. I get my biggest inspirations from my family. My favorite tools are the cuttlebug, Nestabilities, and Copics!!!!

Jul - Dec 2010 S2G DT is HERE!



 Past DT Leader
Debbie Daniels  - Texas
Hello! My name is Debbie and I’m a cardaholic! LOL! I have been making cards for about 4 years and LOVE IT. To me they are little hugs that come through the mail! My interest in stamping started when I became a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator where my love for paper and creating cards was created. It’s truly my passion! I started participating in challenges about a year ago and fell in love with shirleys2girls images. I love animals and they had the CUTEST dog and cat images. My style is more of a clean and simple type card but I love layering! My DH golfs and I make cards! I’ve been married for 23 years to my best friend. We have a 4-legged little girl named Bailey who is the light of my life! I wish that I could have hundred’s more! We moved to the Dallas/Ft Worth area in 1988 and love it!

Shelly Skala - Iowa City, IA

I've been paper crafting for several years now. It all began with a simple Stampin Up party. Who knew it would be so addicting? After the kids are asleep you can usually find me in my craft room exploring the many varieties of stamps, textures and colors. I find inspiration everywhere. Stamping is my creative outlet of choice.

I'm a retired Legal Assistant, married to Garry for the past 28 years, and mom to Ashley (25) who's married to Blake, and Amy (20), a junior in college. I love most papercrafts, but especially rubber stamping and card-making. It is, for me, exactly what the title of my blog says - therapy, it's cheaper than the real thing. I also love to laugh, travel and play BINGO! Being on the Shirley's 2 Girls DT is the highlight of my stamping world right now!!
