Welcome to our NEW Design Team Members

A BIG WELCOME to FIVE NEW DT MEMBERS !!!

I'm very excited to share with you the FIVE NEW members of the Digistamps4Joy Design Team.  So now that everyone of the new designers is 'home', without further ado I would like to introduce them to you.

Peggy Timmerman

Hi, I am a Christian and I have served on several Design Teams, but in 2015 had to undergo open heart surgery, so took a little time off crafting. But I'm back and am delighted to serve on Digistamps4Joy.

Pop into Peggy's blog and give her a hug.

Romina Acosta

Hi, I'm from Argentina. I'm thirty years old. I love coloring. My wish for 2016 is to serve on a Design Team. Digistamps4Joy is my first time to participate in a DT. I love cardmaking, I love using watercolors and alcohol markers. I think I can do my best because it's my hobby and my passion. I recently became a mother and am now trying to make my hobby a profession.

Annie Sharland

Hi aNNie here, and most of you know me already.....I live in Australia in the northern part of New South Wales. Married with three kids, and three grandies and one supportive husband. Oh and one shadow, my Labrador dog, Thye, who sits and crafts with me each day.

I am a Registered Nurse, and retired having to care for my elderly dad, sadly recently passed away.

Love to do any type of craft and have taught card making and scrapbooking. Interior designing and landscaping are my two other loves. My outdoor recreations are walking and swimming.

Lindsay Adreon

I am 26 years old. I have been married to my husband Nathan for 7 years and we have two kiddos, one boy, who is 7 years old, and one girl, who is 1. I am lucky enough to be a SAHM and enjoy every minute of the craziness! I have been crafting since I can remember really. My mom would always take me shopping for craft supplies so I could make ornaments for Christmas gifts, my senior project in high school was a senior scrapbook, etc.! After I had my son and decided to stay home I knew I would need something that I could escape to for "me" time. I started stamping and then went full force into cardmaking. I have branched off into many different crafts and hobbies along the way including crocheting, knitting, cake and cookie decorating, and woodworking (yes, I use the all the saws, sanders, etc myself!). However, I have always kept going strong with stamping and often incorporate paper crafting into all of my other hobbies/crafts.

Sami Williams

My name is Sami and I live in the USA! I'm currently working as a substitute teacher while I search for a full time teaching job! When I'm not teaching or making cards you can usually find me doing something Disney related or reading and writing! I'm so excited to be apart of this Design Team!

Farewell to a dedicated Team Member

It is with a heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to our team member

Desire Fourie

Desire has been with Digistamps4Joy since June 2012, and has been a loyal and dedicated member. We are sad to lose this family member!

Thank you Desire for your friendship, loyalty, and of course all your stunning creations with our digistamps. Desire makes a unique style of card - normally an easel card, but always embellished with handmade paper folded creations. We all wish you the best for the future, and will catch up with you in blog land!

Here is just a small sample of the work she created while on our team.

Challenge #121 - Anything Goes with optional twist - add a tag

The theme for February 2016's challenge challenge is

 ANYTHING GOES
with a twist (optional) "add a TAG"

I am Ursula, all the way from South Africa. We are having very hot and dry weather, although some rain has fallen the last week or two, the farmers throughout the country are experiencing a severe drought. I am so happy to host this challenge which is Anything Goes, but with a twist to "add a tag". I have added some heart tags to go with my image (Vase of Hearts). I love tags, they are so useful for gifts or to jazz up a plain card. Your sentiment or the image can be on the tag, whatever you decide so I do hope you will join in and show us some lovely tags. 

 ALL challenges at Digistamps4Joy are Anything Goes, but if you play along with our little 'twist', you will get two entries into the random draw. The theme for February’s challenge is  

ANYTHING GOES with a Twist (OPTIONAL) = "ADD a TAG". 

  The challenge runs UNTIL 29 February 2016

The DTs Choice prize of the $10 Gift Voucher is applicable to all entries. Remember to link your projects in the linky below. Don't forget you MUST use a digital stamp or rubber stamp - no clipart please!

ANY of the digis in the Store are perfect for this twist! Did you know that you can find any one easily by typing in the NAME into the SEARCH box?
