Hi! I'm Becky Carafa, SAHM to Adam (2-1/2) and wife to Chad (7 years).
I started stamping about 8 years ago, but only seriously the last
2-1/2 years after I quit full-time work. I make mostly cards with
the occasional scrapbook page thrown in. I am really excited to
be on this team, as I love to color PCS images!

My name is Janna Hull and I am a stay
at home mother to a beautiful little girl named Isabella who will
be 2 in April and a wife to a very supportive husband since 2002.
I used to be an elementary school teacher and my favorite thing
about teaching was making up my bulletin boards. I have been a crafter
all my life, dabbling in this and that, but have always loved coloring
and working with colors. I started scrapbooking the summer after
my daughter was born and got into stamping in May of 2008. I went
to one Stampin' Up workshop and I was hooked!!! I am so honored
to be a part of the Pink Cat Studio Design Team. Melissa's stamps
are some of my absolute favorites to color up and I just love how
versatile they are. I can't wait to see what happens this year!! |

Hi my name is Jodi, I live in Honolulu, Hawaii and
I am happily married to my hubby who is very supportive of my love
for rubber stamping. I have been stamping for as long as I can remember
and love to stamp and create cards and projects to share with everyone.
My very first rubber stamp was given to me by my mother when I was
about 7 or 8 years old and I still have it today! This may have
been the start of my collection of rubberstamps too. I am a nurse
by day specializing in Travel Medicine and Internal Medicine, and
a crazy crafter by night (or the wee hours in the morning). Being
apart of the Pink Cat Studio DT will allow me to stamp, create and
share more of what I love doing. I’m so happy to be apart
of this fabulous team! |

Hi, my name is Lauren Meader.
I am here to share my ideas, opinions, and creative ventures with
you. I began stamping in April 2004, and haven’t stopped since!
It has gone from a hobby to a passion.
I became a Stampin Up! demonstrator in February 2005. My passion
wasn’t going home to home to sell product, but more teaching
people how to use it. I love sharing my creativity with others.
March 2007 was my debuting month as part of The Dirty Dozen design
team @ SCS, where I was given the oppourtunity to design with
a group of amazingly talented women, over a 6 month period. I
am now fulfilling my dream as a concept designer for several companies,
that I LOVE- All That Scraps, Craft Critique-Featured Reporter,
Gina K Designs Stamps for a Cause, Green Grass Stamps, Lizzie
Anne Designs, My Favorite Things, Papertrey Ink, Scor-Pal Design
Team, and am a Smilebox Avaitor! click

Hi, my name is Lise Roy and I live in
Quebec about 30 km from Montreal, Canada.
I have enjoyed crafting all my life, mainly crocheting, knitting,
embroidery but it was cardmaking that turned into a passion. I have
been cardmaking for almost 3 years and I am totally addicted to
it. I love to try new techniques, styles and trends.

My name is Maria Bell. I'm originally

my craft room is my Zen, and crafting is when I feel most at peace.
I'm a wife to a wonderful and supportive husband and have two fabulous

Basically, it means I'm a SAHM!! I've been paper crafting and rubber

My name is Mariska and I'm from The Netherlands.
I live there in a small village with my husband Marco and our two
little girls Dyanne and Amy. The village I live in is basically
what most foreigners expect from The Netherlands, cows, farmers,
flower companies and windmills.
I've always been crafting but was convinced that paper crafts just
weren't my thing. I did some embroidery and I loved working with
FIMO Clay. Then, when my daughter Dyanne was born four years ago
I discovered scrapbooking and through that stamping and making cards
with stamps. Now stamping and making cards is what I do most...
funny how things can go :).
I've been a big fan of Pink Cat Studio stamps since I first found
them and I'm so honoured to be a part of the Pink Cat Studio Design
Team. I hope my cards will inspire some of you!

Hi, my name is Nikki and I am married
to Gary and we have two beautiful girls, Danni 3 and Zoe 8 and a
sweet cat called Gemma.
Zoe also shares my passion for stamping and runs a challenge blog
for kids. I am from the UK and live about 14 miles from Central
London.
I started crafting in December 2007 using my Cricut Expression.
I have been stamping since Feb 2008.
My favorite colouring medium is my Prisma Pencils which I blend
using sansodor but I love to give anything a try! I am so lucky
that my husband is very supportive of my hobby and loves the latest
gadget as much as I do! I am so happy with my achievements so far
and as well as working on various design teams I have recently had
some of my work published in UK magazine - Craft Stamper.
I am so happy to be part of this fabulous design team and hope my
work inspires you!

Hi, my name is Sarah Anderson (SCS: Sairabee),
and I live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin.
I was first introduced to stamping about eight years ago, but
have only been what I would consider a "serious" stamper
for about a year. My other hobbies include scrapbooking, crochet,
counted cross stitch, blogging and reading. I'm thrilled to be
a part of the PCS team, and hope you find some inspiration in
my creations! |

Hi! I'm Vicki and I am just thrilled
to be on the Pink Cat Team this year.
I have been scrapbooking since my childhood, when I would collect
pamphlets and ephemera to paste into travel albums. I have been
a more formal paper crafter for the past several years, graduating
from mucilage and newsprint to an entire menagerie of stamps, tools
and trinkets. I love to share ideas with others and had been teaching
rubber stamping and scrapbooking at home and at my local Scrapbook
Store, but I have decided to take a little break from that and focus
soley on design. By day, I facilitate Treatment Programs for federally
sentenced men.
I enjoy creating many different projects with paper and like to
apply various techniques to my designs. An avid Amateur Photographer,
my favourite subject is my 12 year old Son , Jonathon. Outside of
work, parenting and papercrafting, I enjoy playing guitar, singing,
writing and playing practical jokes! |
