Charlene Bopp

Hi it’s Charlene! I live in New Jersey with my awesome husband and two adorable young kids. I work as a clinical research associate by day and a paper crafter in my spare time, usually when the kids are asleep. My other hobbies include having fun with my family, cooking, and photography. I LOVE stamps, markers, pretty papers, cool embellishments and coffee. I’m hooked on Lawn Fawn stamps as they are so much fun to work with especially when paired with their coordinating dies.  I am so thrilled to be part of the Lawnscaping Challenge Design Team (am I dreaming?). 

Elise Constable

Hi, my name is Elise and I live in State College, PA with my wonderful husband. We met at Grove City College where we both studied mathematics – we’re math nerds! I currently work as a bank teller and I am also very involved in my church serving as the treasurer, youth leader, and nursery volunteer. As for my paper-crafting, I started making cards shortly after getting married four years ago, when my mother-in-law bought me a Cricut! I have since become passionate for stamping and I was excited to find such cute stamps on the market, like Lawn Fawn! I am a huge fan of the Lawnscaping challenges and I am so thrilled to be on the design team! Please visit my blog at www.whimsipost.blogspot.com

Audrey Tokach

My name is Audrey Tokach and I am a SAHM to two beautiful boys, Logan (11) and Joshua (9).  My wonderful husband Drew and I have been married for almost 12 years.  We live in sunny Florida, but I grew up in the Philadelphia, PA suburbs and will always call it home.  I am an animal lover (just ask my 2 Cocker Spaniels and 4 felines!).  I started scrapbooking in 2001 while pregnant with my oldest son and in 2009, I was introduced to the wonderful world of stamping.  After a few orders of clear stamps and Copic markers, and I was hooked!  Apart from stamping, I enjoy altered art and 3D home decor projects.  Please visit my blog, Pink Ink Originals, to see what I've been up to!! 

Introducing our FINAL new Design Team Member

Hi everyone! Laurel here today to introduce you all to our final newest design team member! All 3 members will start with us in October! Now, our newest member needs no introduction, especially when it comes to Lawn Fawn products! I have been cyber friends with her for a LONG time and she is the absolute sweetest chick around! I am thrilled to have her join us! Everyone, please welcome....

Yainea

Hello! My name is Cristina but I use Yainea as a nickname all the time. I live in a small city in the northwest of Spain. As a Computer Engineer I love all computer related stuff, even playing video games. In the complete opposite of that I love making all kind of things with my own hands: baking, sewing, painting and of course, crafting! Also, I love animals (I have two dogs and a cat), going to the movies and reading.

Since March, I'm a happy Lawn Fawn DT member so, of course, I totally love all the Lawn Fawn stuff and Lawnscaping is my all time favorite challenge! I submitted my first card for one of the firsts challenges and I'm still learning and improving every month with the wonderful Lawnscaping DT and participants :) 

Also, Laurel is a really nice and sweet friend who always supported me so when she asked me to join the Design Team, she really made my day, thank you!

Welcome to the new team new designers!!! Our next challenge is on Monday where we bid farewell to Vera and Melania..... They will deeply be missed.

Don't forget, tomorrow at 5AM EST, the Fall blog hop sign up post will go live!!

Introducing another Design Team Member.....

Hi everyone! Laurel here... Back today with another introduction to another one of our newest design team members starting in October!!! We are so excited!!!!!!!!!  Please join me in welcoming Melissa Shea to the Lawnscaping family.......

Hi everyone! My name is Melissa, or Mel if you're feeling lazy and don't want to type it all out! I'm a true crafter (read *hoarder of all things pretty*) and I love playing with stamps, paper and glue. I mostly make cards because the canvas is so small I can complete a project quickly (and by quickly I mean in less than 5 or 6 hours, which is how long it takes to do a scrapbook layout!). I do scrapbook and love to make tags! I've always said my style is "nomadic" because I tend to dabble in all kinds of styles. I adore the crafting community. It's so fun to meet people from around the world and come together for a common hobby. So the boring stuff--I'm in my EARLY 30's, married to my college sweetheart (awwwww) and we have one...here it comes...1 fur child from the canine clan! A few fun facts: I've been skydiving, I've moved over 30 times in my life and I have a BA in Criminology/Sociology/Psychology! I live in beautiful Colorado! That's me!

Melissa, we are so excited to have you with us!!!!!!

Changes coming our way!!!! Introducing our first new design team member

Hi everyone!!!!!!!!! Laurel here....  Here at Lawnscaping we have some changes coming your way starting in October!! We are saying goodbye and hello to some designers!!!

Let's start with the goodbyes!  Britta Swiderski has already stepped down. And after our next challenge, we will say goodbye to Melania Deasy and Vera Yates.  It has been an absolute pleasure having them on the design team for so long and it goes without saying I will miss them terribly! Ladies, thank you for sharing your talents with us!

Today, allow me to introduce our first designer that will be joining us in October.....

Chrissie Tobas

My name is Chrissie and I live in the Chicagoland area with my wonderful husband, son, daughter and crazy dog. I work full-time as Graphic Designer/Pre-Press Operator at a small print company. I have been involved in some aspect of art my entire life. From oil paints and watercolors as a child, to paper crafting and digital art as an adult, rarely a day has gone by in my world that doesn’t include art. I am an Alumnus of the Illinois Institute of Art, where I graduated with Honors and received my Bachelor’s Degree in Visual Communications. I started papercrafting around 1997, but I ended up just hoarding supplies and not completing any projects. A few years ago, my love of papercrafting was rekindled when I was invited to scrapbook at a friend’s house. I have been obsessed ever since!!!

:) See ya next time with the announcement of our second newest design team member!
