Exciting Changes at The Paper Players!

Greetings everyone!  The Design Team thought that you might need a little excitement here at The Paper Players to keep you coming back to our challenges in 2015.  We are thrilled to announce SIX fabulous new additions to our team.

First, please join us in welcoming 3 new Guest Designers to the team.  These creative gals will work with us through June, 2015 and we are so excited they agreed to join us.  We asked them to tell us a little bit about themselves:

Debbie Mageed
Secret Stamper

Hello! I am so happy to be a Guest Designer for The Paper Players! I have been a Stampin' Up! demonstrator since 2011 and love classic, layered cards. I have lived in Grand Rapids, Michigan for 11 years and love this wonderful city! I am married to Aly, my wonderful husband and have 4 children, ages 35 to 17. Stamping is a wonderful way to transition to being an empty nester since my youngest daughter will be heading to college next year!

Karren Johnson
Stamping Stuff

Hi!  My name is Karren Johnson and I'm so happy to be guest designing at The Paper Players for the next six months.  I live in Christchurch, New Zealand with my other half, Pete, our two sons Matt (17) and William (12) and our dog, Dexter.  I've been stamping for about 12 years now and my style has evolved over that time to the point where I feel most comfortable creating clean cards with lots of white space.  At the time of writing this, I am still enjoying a hiatus from working life but normally I work in the accounting/finance field.

Shannon Jaramillo

Shannon Kay Paperie

Greetings! My name is Shannon Jaramillo. I have been a scrapbooker since 2001. I discovered card making in general and Stampin’ Up! in particular in 2010. I signed up as a demonstrator immediately and have never looked back!  I live in Southern California with my wonderful husband and have two fine grown sons living close by. I process payroll by day and play with paper by night. My style tends toward the clean and simple with a fair amount of white space.  I am SO excited and honored to have been invited to be a guest designer with The Paper Players for the next six months. I look forward to the challenge of designing along side this talented group of card makers! I can’t wait to get started!!

And, we can't wait for them to get started!  Now, we did say there were SIX didn't we?  And that's only three....so the next three must be...new members of The Design Team!  We know you will love seeing their work each week and enjoy the challenges they host.  Please give a warm welcome to our three newest members of The Design Team!
