Welcome to our new DT members!

Thank you so much to everyone who applied for my design team! I had a great time looking at everyone’s blogs and cards. You are all so talented, it was very hard for me to only pick a few new members.

I’m excited to announce the 4 new members that will be joining our design team are:
Jane Matsumoto
Rachel Schneider
Marley van der Heijden
Piali Biswas

In the near future I would also like to have a guest designer each month. I will start this either in May or June and I’ll choose from everyone who applied for the design team as I will be keeping all of the applications and contact information.

Thank you again to everyone who applied!

Now let me introduce you to the new team members:


Jane Matsumoto http://whoopsiedaisy-jane.blogspot.com/

Hi! I'm Jane! I am a mother to 2 young boys and one loving cat. I am a preschool teacher and piano teacher during the day and happy crafter during the wee hours when everyone else is soundly asleep. My weekends are filled with baseball games, bowling leagues, and other various activities for the boys. Once a month, I manage to teach a Copics class and rubber stamping / card making class at the local scrapbook store. In 2011, I will be celebrating my 10th anniversary and my 40th birthday! It seems to get better every year! Things I have on my "To Do" list before I turn 40: Go back to Disneyland with the boys, have a card published, learn to play the guitar and cello, get my house (life) organized, and get fit... not in any particular order. I am so grateful for the little things in life that bring me such joy! Being asked by Melissa to join the incredibly talented Pink Cat Studio Design Team has me over the moon happy... definitely a wish come true! I am truly honored. Thank you, Melissa!


Rachel http://papercraftingplace.blogspot.com/


Hi!, My name is Rachel Schneider and I’m a SAHM of two and also a full time grad student studying School Counseling. I’ve always loved to do crafty stuff but once I discovered Copic markers I was stuck on stamping. I mostly like to make cards but love to alter items too, and I can’t live without my stamps, Copics, nestabilities and Cuttlebug!


Marley http://www.scrapping-marley.blogspot.com/

Hi! My name is Marley van der Heijden, 21 years old (young) and I live in the Netherlands. I have my kindergarten teacher diploma but I'm back to school studying to work with people who are mentally disabled. I started card making 1.5 years ago, started with 3-d and now I make scrapcards. It’s really a dream come true to design for Pink Cat Studio because I love their stamps! They are so cute and fun to colour!


Piali Biswas http://touchofcreation.blogspot.com/

Hello!!! I am Piali and I'm super excited to be the part of Pink Cat Studio Design Team. I live in New Jersey with my wonderful husband , two adorable daughters and a little furry one. They keep my life busy. I've been paper crafting for just more than a year . I'm addicted to stamping and card making... I also love crocheting, beading and quilting. If possible I would love to spend my whole day stamping in my craft room. I like to try new techniques for paper crafting and take new challenges everyday. I'm currently on few design teams...and have the wonderful opportunity to BE inspired by all the talented crafters around me.


Have a great day and thanks so much again to everyone who applied!!

Hugs,
Melissa
