In addition, each one of these wonderfully talented ladies will be featured on the blog each month! So that is loads and loads of more inspiration to be found here AND on Facebook! If you don't follow us, please do! If you don't have Facebook, please join just to follow us! (He he, ok.... You don't have to do that).....

So, let me introduce you to our new Facebook Inspiration Design Team and a little bit about them in their own words..... Here we go...........

Jennifer McDermott

I am a wife to my high school sweetheart, and am a stay-at-home mom to our four rambunctious little kids.  I've been paper-crafting for about 15 years and love it to bits.  I love Jesus, cookies and Harry Potter, and living room dance parties with my kids.

Lizzy Criman

Aloha from sunny Hawai! My name is Lizzy Criman and I live on the beautiful island of Oahu with my husband, dog, and two cats.   I’m a nurse practitioner by day (and evening, and sometimes night too), and, when I’m not out exploring my surrounds, you’ll find me stamping away.  My mom got me addicted in the summer of 2012 while my husband was away with the Army—and I was never quite able to kick the habit when he got back.  I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team, and hope you will follow along with my adventures at thishausofcards.blogspot.com! 

Tracy Gruber

Hello! My name is Tracy and I am currently going to college for Graphic Design and working part-time at a local scrapbooking store.  I started scrapbooking when I was in high school and card-making about 3 years ago.  When I’m not crafting, I enjoy spending time with my family, rollerblading, playing tennis, and shopping.

Samantha Casey

Hi, my name is Samantha! I have always had a love for crafting, fine art, and design. When creating projects, I really love making scenes that tell a story by coloring stamped images and using fun embellishments and paper. 

Kari Webster

Hi! My name is Kari Webster and I live in Southern Missouri but I am originally from Central Arkansas.  I am happily married to my husband Chris for 6 years, and we are "mom and dad" to our two cats, Katie and Daisy :) By day, I work at our local hospital where I am the "Release of Information/Legal Correspondent" which basically means I am the one that patients, attorney's, insurance companies etc. come to me when they need medical records on a patient.   I've been crafting since August of 2009. It all started when I went to my first Stampin' Up workshop, and that is all it took!  Before too long, I took over my husband's computer room and turned into my craft room!!  (He didn't mind *grin*)  I absolutely love this hobby of paper crafting.  It is wonderful stress reliever for me!   I am super excited to have this opportunity to be on the Lawnscaping Facebook Inspiration Team!!  It is an honor to be among this group of ladies and their talent! I have loved Lawnscaping for a long time, and since I have been a participant, I always tried entering into a challenge, so to be a designer for them is beyond awesome for me!!  I hope to inspire you with my creations!!  You can come visit me at my blog at www.kwcarddesign.com

Sabine Meder

I am a SAHM with three sweet girls (3, 9 and 13). My fiancé Mike is American and we live in Austria near Vienna. We do enjoy both worlds. Our furry baby is our cat Noah. Besides crafting I love to read, travel, enjoy coffee, MAC make-up, do a little gardening and just have fun! 

Lenny Sacreas

Hi! I'm Lenny.  I'm an enthusiastic teacher. I teach French and my students are 12 - 14 years old. It isn't always easy, it can be stressy and I have a lot of school work,  but I always wanted to teach and I'm still loving it!! Whenever I have some free time, I wanna do something creative; it relaxes me!  Creative things that I love: scrapbooking, card making, floral arranging, baking, ...  I also love reading, traveling, gardening, going to the movies, ...  Really, really happy to be part of this Lawnscaping team!!  It's a crafty wish come true! :)  I love spending time with family and friends. Daydreaming about meeting some of my crafty friends in real life ...  I live in Belgium but my #1 favorite country is the USA!! 

About 20 years ago, our school did an exchange with an American school and

I fell in love with that beautiful country ... I just love it over there! :)

Samantha Mann

Hi, I'm Samantha Mann and I couldn't be happier to be part of this team! My husband and I have lived all over the US, from Washington State to Florida, but we're currently in hot, humid, coastal South Carolina! We have two little boys (who I usually call my little menn)! I have always been in love with school supplies (ever since elementary school when i would save my nickels to buy cute pencils or erasers!) and that love just grew and developed into my crazy obsession (read: passion!) of paper crafting! I love making cards and even dabble with the occasional scrapbook layout! I tend to lean towards clean and simple design, but not always! I am all about learning new techniques from fellow crafters! I'm definitely quirky, and love to make playful, humorous sentiments for my cards (and layouts!)! I work full time for an advertising company and spend every other moment I can paper crafting, reading and enjoying the little moments in everyday family life.

Heading up this amazing extension to the family is DT Member/Social Media Coordinator Jenn Shurkus.

Woo hoo! How exciting is this?!? These wonderful ladies will begin to inspire us in July! So be sure to follow us on Facebook and check back here for their dedicated posts to the blog!!!!!

Oh, and how about a shout out to Jenn for redesigning the blog?!?  It looks incredible. Do I have an amazing team put together or what! :)
