Hi everyone! I'm Julia Aston and I live in Massachusetts. I've been doing some kind of crafting since I was about 5 years old when my mother would set my sister and I up on the dining room table with papers, stickers and crayons! I've jumped from sewing, to quilling, to papermache and calligraphy - finally settling on stamping and scrapbooking where I've stuck for the past six or so years! I just love how I can create a beautiful card or craft with all the stamps, dies, and inks!! I was an elementary school teacher in the past - but I presently work full time as the administrative assistant in the Trauma Division at a Boston hospital. I have a grown son out living on his own and a wonderful husband who tolerates my stamping addiciton with very good humor! We also share our home with two sweet cats. Since I have to be at work all day - I'm usually up late at night stamping away in my craft room. When I'm not stamping you will find me hiking, kayaking or gardening. I can hardly believe my good fortune of being able to work on Claire's Waltzingmouse Design Team with all the other talented ladies!

Hi everyone! My name is Belinda and I live with my husband in Pittsburgh, PA. I spend my days working as a software engineer so that I can stamp the nights and weekends away! I've always liked doing crafty things, starting as a young age where all I needed was a crayon and the walls of our house that served as my canvas. One year, a co-worker showed me some of the Christmas cards she had made with some stamps and paper. From then on, I was hooked - I ran to the nearest craft store and walked out with cardstock, some stamps and colored pencils to start creating my own cards. The rest of my free time is spent making tasty goodies and playing Ultimate Frisbee.

My name is Sandie Dunne and I live in the midlands of Ireland with my husband, 4 kiddos, 1 cat, 1 dog and an ever increasing population of fish. I left my Web Design job when my third child was born and have been a SAHM ever since. I happily spent 34yrs of my life without any inclination to craft but after meeting some very lovely American ladies, who are now close friends, I decided to give scrapbooking a try. I was a 'scrapper' for 2yrs before I made my first card {which was awful!!} - then I discovered stamps and fell in love. I have a paper obsession that I am not looking to cure and have been known to hot glue flowers to anything that stays still long enough. I used to run a monthly scrapbooking club but now I teach classes at crafting events around the country, which is a lot of fun - without all the admin work. When I'm not creating something I'm usually driving kiddos to school, Football, Hurling, Irish Dancing, etc, etc, etc.....  

My name is Jennifer Holmes and I live in Washington State with my husband and daughter. My daytime job is working in Behavioral Health as a Contracting/Marketing professional, but my nights and weekends are filled with paper, ink and stamps! As far back as I can remember I was always doing something artsy, thanks to an aunt who always gifted me with all sorts of arts and crafts kits. I began stamping nearly 20 years ago and I haven’t stopped since. Even thought I enjoy all types of crafting, I always come back to papercrafts and I’m still often amazed with what you can do with paper, ink and stamps!

Hi! My name is Lynn Mercurio and I live in the St. Louis area with my husband and our 4-legged fur-baby, Allie - a Golden Retriever. I work full-time as an executive assistant but would much rather be at home in my craft space, happily working on a project or two. On any given week night, or during the weekend, you will find me working on something craft related.

It was inevitable that I would find a creative outlet. I was surrounded by creativity since birth. My mom was a creative soul, dabbling in the arts in one form or another for as long as I can remember. I began scrapbooking in 1997 but wasn't a serious crafter until 2005 when a co-worker introduced me to stamping. From that moment on, I was hooked and knew that I had found my passion in paper crafting. Whether making cards or documenting memories through scrapbooking, there just is no comparison to the joy of creating.

Hi There! My name is Mona Pendleton. I live in Phoenix, AZ with my loving husband, two teenage step-children and two West Highland Terriers. My children are in their 20's, one in college and the other traveling the world. I work as an Operating Room Registered Nurse and paper craft in my free time. I've had my hands in some sort of craftiness since I was a teenager when I first learned to sew. I use to make my daughter's dresses, doll clothes and quilt before I discovered scrapbooking which eventually led me to stamping and card making. I am very grateful and honored to be part of the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team.

Hi! My name is Carly Robertson and I am seriously addicted to stamping and paper crafts. I was fortunate to grow up in a very creative family, but it wasn't until my daughters were born (just over 3 years ago) that I really got into crafting. On the personal side I am lucky to live near the beautiful Rocky Mountains in Calgary, AB, Canada with my wonderfully supportive husband and two super sweet daughters. A perfect day for me would start with Starbucks, followed by a spa treatment (or two), lots of fun family time, ending with a fabulous meal, and then off to my craft room for a late night of stamping. I feel very blessed and honoured to be apart of the WMS Design Team.

Hi there! My name is Anya Schrier and I am thrilled to be a part of the Waltzingmouse Stamps Design Team! I am married to my high school sweetheart, Bill, and we share our home with two rescued shelter dogs, who are constant companions. I love living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and am a die-hard Penguins fan! I dabble a little in photography, enjoy spending time in my garden, and squeeze in any opportunity to go scuba diving. I have been stamping off and on for years, first discovering a tiny store in Pittsburgh that sold rubber stamps on the second floor of a popcorn shop (really!) about 15 years ago. Five years ago I started to get serious about card-making and it has since become part of my daily life. I am honored to be a part of the WMS design team!
