Meet the Design Team

Meet the wonderful design team!

Ileana
Hi there! I´m Ileana Márquez, born Argentinian, living now in Madrid, Spain. My love for crafting I have to thank it to my mom who taught us me and my siblings that creating is a wonderful way to release your inner self. I started with all sorts of crafts but I discover the wonders of paper crafting 5 years ago when I was going thru a difficult time in my life. Since then I found paper crafting has a very therapeutic effect in me and now I can not live without creating something, even a tiny little thing helps a lot.
On my crafts I like to use whatever I have at hand, from coloring mediums to materials, I´m a strong supporter of recycling and those are my favorite kind of crafts. What I like most is I´m not able to spend much in craft supplies, that triggers my creativity to high levels! and it´s a nice and rewarding feeling.
I have a beautiful family that supports my hobby and they are the main receivers of my creations.

Heather
Hello !  My name is Heather Bon and Missy is my sister!
I am a married mother of four, born and raised in Chicago and now living the suburban life in Mokena, IL.
 I don't have much spare time on my hands, but when I do I enjoy a wide array of crafts.  Anything from creating jewelry and purses to painting and papercrafting.
 I also enjoy coloring with my kiddos and thanks to Missy I have discovered a grown up version of it !
 When I can, I shut myself in my laundry room -aka- "craft room", turn on my iPod and delve into whatever crafty project inspires me at that given moment.  It allows me some peace & quiet and an outlet for those day to day stresses.

Saskia
I'm Saskia, a stay-at-home mum for our son Robbe (11 years) and hubby. We live in a small village in Belgium.
I started making cards about 5 years ago. First, I made 3d-cards, but soon I discovered great stamps and digi's. I love to work with derwent pencils, copic markers and I recently bought some promarkers.
I LOVE cute things, as you can see on my blog  http://lusaro-snippers.blogspot.com/.
I used to work at a children's bookshop. I still buy illustrated books, just for myself! :) When I saw Melissa's work while I was blog-hopping, I immediately felt in love with her designs. So it's great to be part of her design team now!

Tina
Hello, my name is Tina and I am a graphic artist/designer.  I started scrapbooking in Sept. 2008 when my DH was working nights and then stamping in April. 2009 but it wasn’t until this year that my style of card making changed.  I am always trying out new techniques so my style is always evolving, however, one thing never changes...I love to fill my page.  If you are like me then you are as addicted to all paper, ribbons, embellishments & stamps.  I have been fortunate to be published in several magazines, such as Canadian Scrapbooker & Scrapbook Magazine as well as online pubs such as ReadySetCreate and Scrapbook News & Review.  You can go here to see more about me and my style.  http://cyberbumz1967.blogspot.com/
