Creative Charms - embellish, enliven, enjoy

For three months I looked at blogs that were recommended to me by friends, linked through facebook, through other scrapbooking companies' blogs and more places than I can remember; but I found a fabulous, creative, and inspiring new design team to enhance the one we already have in place.

Without futher ado I would like to reintroduce the existing and new design team. I have linked their blogs here. They have some new projects that they have posted. Check them out because they are a very tallented group.

Lisa Dickinson - Gettin' By - Lisa is one of our new designers. I found her on the Jeni Bowlin Studio's gallery. Lisa has a very rich but simple scrapbooking style. Her blog has great how to's and a ton of great ideas.

Lisa Dorsey - A Blessed Life - Lisa has been designing for Creative Charms for awhile now. She has been developing our children's projects. Lisa has been making these really great end of the year gifts for her kids' teachers. Makes me wish my kids were still in elementary school.

Summer Fullerton - so there i was... - Summer is one of our new designers. I found her on the Jillibean Soup blog. I really liked how she uses large elements and titles on her layouts. Her blog has a lot of inspiration.

Debbie Gaydos - what, me blog? - Debbie is another new designer. I met Debbie through a mutual friend who was on the same design team for Allyscraps. She is excited to be make "pretty" cards and using glittery embellishments as she has been doing a lot of boy themed layouts.

Charity Hassell - Meaningful Menagerie - Charity is one of our new designers. I saw her work on the October Afternoon blog. She creates really adorable cards and layouts. You will have a lot of fun reading about all her different design team projects. She is currently on seven different design teams!

Gail Hoecker - Polka Dot Kitty - Gail is another new designer. I met Gail at CHA while she was working in the Bella Blvd booth. Her cards were some of the best things that I saw at the whole show.

Hilary Kanwischer - Hilary's Blog - Hilary is another design team original member. She has been creating altered items for our catalog and our booth at CHA. She is also a great card maker and scrapbooker. I know whatever we ask for it is going to be briliant. Lately she has been using polymer clay and making the most adorable Halloween and Christmas decoration. You have to subscribe to her blog to see what she will be up to next.

Michelle Lanning - Tutu's & Glue Dots - Love the name of her blog. Michelle is a new team member. I think Michelle may be our next "how to" girl. Her blog carefully outlines techniques that she uses. She even includes videos! How great is that. When you visit her blog, you will definately learn something new.

Amy McCabe - Amy's SVGs - Amy is a design team original. She creates some really neat things with the Cricut (svg files). She does things with the Cricut program that I would never have thought about. Visit her blog to get free downloads and project ideas.

Kim Moreno - Circus Life - Kim is a new member of the design team. Kim has five "short ones" and she still has time to scrapbook. I want to know what her secret is. Kim creates layouts and cards that are full of rich, textural layers. I am really excited to see what she is going to do with the Creative Charms' products.

Ellen Panseri - ScrapStampnMama - Ellen has been on the design team for a few years. She is our go-to-girl. If we need a project done with a short turn around, Ellen is our girl. She considers herself a cardmaker, but she does great scrapbooking layouts too.

That is everyone. Hope you enjoyed visiting all of our designers' blogs. Each one is uniquely different have many talents. Each Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we will be having new blog posting. Come back often and enjoy National Scrapbooking Day...create something wonderful.

*sneak peek* Starting May 10th we will be introducing some really great "deals". Come back and see what Gail has in store for us.
