Christy

My name is Christy Dillman and I live in a small town 30 miles north of Kansas City, MO. I have a wonderful hubby and 2 very active boys-15 and 6. I started my adventure as a scrapbooker, but quickly became a card maker and love to alter items in addition to a number of other projects. I am Copic certified and love using my Copic markers with digital images! I hope to be able to inspire people with my projects and love to surf blogland to learn new techiniques. I have extensive design team experience and am currently designing for Kaboodle Doodles, Sunday Sketch & Stamp, Cooking It Up with Katie, The Crazy Challenge, and am the Design Team Coordinator for The Stamping Boutique.

If you ask my girlfriends where you will find me they will tell you if I am not buried under my crafting supplies or a mountain of cards, I must be at the baseball fields as hubby coaches oldest son's competitive team. I have also taken up running after losing 50 lbs over the fall, so I try to hit the pavement once a month for a 5K race and in April completed my first 1/2 marathon. I am very honored and excited to be a DT member of Lollipop Crafts and look forward to sharing my projects with you!

Leanne

Aloha everyone! I'm Leanne, but you can call me Lilo. I live in sunny Los Angeles, CA. I've always loved crafts and making things. I started out with drawing as a little kid. When I got older, I tried my hand at scrapbooking, but found out it was too stressful and I didn't have enough patience nor energy for it. When my good friend, Renate, introduced me to cardmaking, I loved it! I have added other projects than just cardmaking, but I think cardmaking is my first love. It's something that I enjoy a lot, besides volleyball which is my second love. I am so happy to be a part of the Lollipop Team and look forward to fun challenges, great inspirations and wonderful new friends. Mahalo!!
:)

Cyndi

My name is Cyndi and I was born and raised on Oahu,HI. I got into paper crafts in August 2009 after graduating from college. I had more time on my hands and found this addicting hobby through surfing the web!! Since then, it has definitely become a passion and I love being inspired by all the wonderful crafters out there! Growing up as a kid, I always loved crafts/art. I remember I hardly watched television, you would also see me drawing or coloring! In high school, I took sewing lessons for a few years and made my own prom dresses! I'm very thankful and excited to be on this team! (My very first DT!)

Sonia (Sony)
Hello, Hola!!
My name is Sonia N. Rivera (call me Sony), born on the beautiful island PUERTO RICO, living with my husband Jaime.
I have one son of 26 years (married, no children) and a daughter of 25 years (she live with me).
Also we have a pet... a dog call "Nacho".
Before I starting on Scrapbook (started between 2003-2004) I was making parchment cards for many years but one day searching parchment paper I found Vellum Paper so my paper craft life change.
I'm a scrapbooker but after I began the scrapbooking I learn how to create different types of cards... now I make more cards than layouts. I like to used rubber and clear stamps but I love use digital stamping.
Love scrapbook, cards, crafts and photography... my passions that make me feel RELAX.
I am so excited to be on the Lollipop design team.. I can't wait to work with a great group of ladies

When I started paper crafting 6 years ago I was doing layouts and then one day decided to try my hand at card-making. 4 years later and now I make more cards than layouts! I create a lot of my cards for challenges and to sell at craft fairs here at home throughout the year. I love being on design teams and working with such a great spectrum of individuals. I am constantly surfing the net checking out blogs as there are so many talented card makers out there. You never know when I might just stop by yours! I am a 'collector' I am always buying new scrappy toys and products whether I need them or not and one day, I will actually use them all! Besides paper crafting I love to travel, am a huge movie fan ans a self professed diet Coke addict. I am so excited to be on the Lollipop design team and I hope to inspire you through the coming months and I quite look forward to checking out your blogs and challenge entries!

Welcome Lollipop Girls!!!

Hello! Happy Sunday!

THANK YOU all for applying for our first ever DT call!! We enjoyed looking through all your wonderful creations! We would love for everyone to join our team but realistically, it is not possible. Making a final decision was very difficult for us but it had to be done. So without further ado, I give you our first ever Lollipop Crafts Design Team, THE LOLLIPOP GIRLS!

Alanna

Hello. My name is Alanna and I have a wonderful husband, Devin, and two school aged children, Reynna and Christopher. My day job is an auditor/CPA so my crafty time is when I get to let loose and have some fun. I've been scrapbooking for just about 10 years now, card making for nearly that long, and blogging for 2 years. I love to share my passion of papercrafting with all those around me and have thoroughly enjoyed "meeting" so many wonderful people who share my passion.

Barbara

This is Barbara with a big “Howdy” from Texas! I’m thrilled to be here and to share my creations and ideas with everyone! I've been into arts and crafts sense I could run with scissors and my main hobby is scrapbooking. However, I've been making cards for over eight years and my hobby room is overflowing. (Don’t worry, I’m sure I can fit more!) I recently discovered Copic markers and was thrilled at being able to combine two more enjoyable interests of mine - coloring and stamping. Random facts about me: I also love to draw, read, take naps and play with toys – I’m just a kid at heart. :-D I'm a night owl and make most of my cards after everyone goes to bed. As for the rest of the day, like most of us, I'm a headless chicken. Owls and chickens – ‘who’ knew they’d go so well together! I live by the motto “A stamp a day keeps the stress away” and I look forward to creating along side this amazing team! Visit my personal blog too at http://forgottenscraps.blogspot.com/. Ya’ll come back now!

Diane

Hi, I'm Diane and I live in Broken Arrow, OK which is basically Tulsa. I am SAHM married to Eric for 12 years and have 2 children. My daughter Kaitlyn is 10 years old and has Down syndrome and a son Austin who is 7. I love to shop - especially bargain shopping, travel and organizing just about anything. Over the past 20 years I have taken classes and enjoyed doing cake decorating, flower arranging, interior design and scrapbooking. I’ve taught classes at a local scrapbook store in the area, I really enjoy teaching. I like doing all kinds of scrapbooking including cards and altered art. I have a blog called Princess Scrap Girl that I use to share my art with those who appreciate the process and also to connect with others who love it as much as I do.

I have come across lots and lots of talented crafters out there and I am learning something new everyday! Everyone’s amazing creations inspire me to create more and more each day! I hope I inspire everyone as well!

Lisa

Hi guys, I am Lisa G and I have had a blog called http://gobeagirl.blogspot.com/ since last August. We live in the middle of Washington State in a great town called Moses Lake. It is considered the desert part of this wonderful state and it's not wrong. I am a full time Pharmacy Tech, a Wife and a Mother to two wonderful children. We have a 13 year old Son and a 12 year old Daughter. They are a year and one day apart...lol... I have always loved crafting but I got into scrapbooking in 1998 when I needed a present for my Grandmother. My husband, Jerry suggested I make her a scrapbook as I have always been into taking pictures. What can I say I was hooked! I taught Cricut classes for the local scrapbook store until she had to close last April. That was when I discovered Copic Markers! I have been addicted ever since... I go into stamps because I ran out of things to color. lol...I enjoyed it so much that I decided to start my blog. What can I say I have met so many wonderful people since I started stamping and blogging. I can not wait to see where this adventure takes me. When I am not working you can find me in our pool with the kids and Jerry or sitting at my desk making a card with my Copics.

We will announce our August Designer on Thursday, so please stay tuned! Our Guest Designers are very special to us so we want her/him/them to be spotlighted for a day!

Also, our first challenge is tomorrow! We hope you can all play along with us! Thank you all for your support!
