In their own words, here's a little more information about each of them to help you get to know them better:
Allisa Steinlicht
Hi, I’m Allisa from Wyoming. I started my papercrafting journey in 1995 with scrapbooking. I fell in love with having coordinating supplies, and signed up to be a Close To My Heart Consultant soon after. I started my blog, Rocky Mountain Paper Crafts, in 2011. While my passion has always been scrapbooking, cards are a close second. I can spend days on a scrapbook layout, whereas cards can be completed in minutes if needed! I am mom to three boys and countless four legged creatures. I love playing along with challenges and have played along with The Paper Players since 2012! I am super excited to a part of the Design Team in 2020!
Stef Perry
Hello, all! I'm Stef, married 14 years to Kevin, and a recent transplant to Idaho from Oregon. I have one adult daughter, 3 fabulous grandchildren and one sweet great granddaughter. I retired 2 1/2 years ago after a 40-year career in banking and commercial lease financing.
In 2007 a friend introduced me to card making, and the rest is history, as the saying goes! I love the variety of ways one can express creativity on a palette as small as a card and confess to being obsessed with everything crafty! Currently I am a member of the Splitcoaststampers Color Challenge team and alumni of the SCS Dirty Dozen.
I am so thrilled and honored to be a guest design for The Paper Players in 2020!
Mary Deatherage
Hey, y'all!
Mary here - and I'm tickled to have been asked to be a Guest Designer here on The Paper Players for 2020!
I'm a retired Air Force pilot and a retired Army contractor - I recently left the workplace for good to pursue full-time retiree status - and build my Stampin' Up! business. I live in Fayetteville, GA with my husband Wayne - that's him up there! - who is my strongest supporter in this business (he's rolled WAY more than his fair share of ribbons!). We're the full-time staff for a very bossy cat (that's the Department of Redundancy Department right there!) and the nearly world-famous Finn, our Australian Shepherd. There are also two pretty-spoiled-rotten Haflinger ponies sharing our home. So...we're busy!
I started in Stampin' Up! in late 2015 - while on a business trip (for that Army contracting job) in California. The hotel there was only the first in a very LONG list of hotels that received Stampin' Up! boxes for me! I've done a ton of traveling with so much of my craft room... well, let's just say "Have SU!, will travel!" :)
I picked card making purely because I love the “stuff” that goes with and into it, and I love the end results that I can make with just some paper and ink and a little bling. I've also got the soul of a teacher, so I love teaching folks the tips and tricks that will help them get the most out of this wonderful creative endeavor. The people I've met - whether in person or online - have been the icing on the cake for me!
So - I hope you'll join us each week for some paper project fun!
