HAPPY NEW YEAR & Introducing our 2015 Design Team

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Another year has passed and it's time for a new year and a New Design Team! We are thankful for our previous Designers and may continued success follow them wherever their crafty adventure takes them. A few familiar faces return, but let's get to know the new additions to our 2015 Design Team.

WELCOME...

Natalie

My Creativity Life...

My name is Natalie and I'm 35. Originally I'm from Ukraine, but have been living in Ireland for the past 12 years. I'm happily married and have 2 cute girls. I love all type of crafting such as card-making, scrapbooking and also cross stitching, and that is what I have been doing for almost 6 years. I love colouring with copic markers and always try to do something different and improve myself. I started my blog "My Creativity Life" when I started crafting and now I have a lot of crafty friends and followers, and I would be very happy to see you as well.

Rachel
Knee Deep In Paper

My name is Rachel Parys, and I am totally addicted to:

Paper, markers, stamps, dies, embellishments…pretty much anything that has to do with crafting!

I started out with scrapbooking after my first child about 16 years ago. I have been a pretty hard-core card maker now for about the last 4 years, and I wouldn’t give it up for anything! (crafting keeps me sane!) I have made wonderful friends throughout the crafting community, and I can’t wait to share my projects with you!

Roselany

Me and My Craft Corner

Hello I'm Roselany from Indonesia...I'm a proud mother for my two kids, there are my world and my second world is craft...I have been crafting, and just falling in love with this craft world... I'm very addict with Magnolia stamps since my crafter friend had sent me the stamp images of Magnolia. I really love to make a card and 3D project, my almost style is Vintage.

Now, I'm realize this is my passion so I'm focus on my DT Team at Made With Love Indonesia, and also be an active DT on some blogs. I'm really thrilled when Jo asking me to be one of DT IAR, I'm very thankful for this great opportunity. Thank you so much Jo for this great invitation...I can't wait to be a "family" on their amazing blog. I hope you all can enjoy my creations.

Rosemary

Rosemary's Creations

Hi, my name is Rosemary and I live in Texas with my hubby and sweet boy. I originally got into scrapbooking over 10 years ago, but switched to card-making a few years ago. I love that I can complete something from start to finish in a few hours or days versus working on a scrapbook that can take lots of years (for me anyways), LOL! Being a part of the blogging world has given me the opportunity to make new friends and share my love of crafting. I'm so blessed to join this amazing team full of so many inspiring ladies! I love IAR flowers and can't wait to share my creations with you!

Alexandra

Clay Guana

Hello! My name is Alexandra, known in blogland as ClayGuana.​ I am 34 years old, a housewife and a mom to a baby girl. I like to dedicate my free time to crafting, mostly cardmaking. And how can you make a card without beautiful flowers? I remember that at the beginning of my creative journey, I asked an experienced crafty friend of mine, where she was buying her flowers from.... This is how I got to know about I Am Roses and have been hooked since then to all the gorgeous flowers the company created. Besides cards, I like to create mini albums and different 3D projects, especially boxes. Joining 'I Am Roses" DT makes me really overwhelmed with happiness.
