Meet the 2012 STAEDTLER^® North America Design Team

<p>I’m Lisa. I live in Illinois with my husband and two teenage boys. I’m thrilled to be part of the Design Team for STAEDTLER. My style is pretty classic with a bit of shabby chic.</p>
<p>I love to create with all different types of products and like to keep up with the latest techniques and incorporate them into my designs on a regular basis.</p>
<p>You can find my work in published in numerous major paper crafting publications.</p>
<p>I’m also currently designing for several other paper crafting companies. Visit me at <a href="http://www.lisasomerville.com" target="_blank" lsurl="http://www.lisasomerville.com">www.lisasomerville.com</a></p>

<p>I'm Dana from Atlantic, Canada. I am a scrapbooking lover of 13 years but card making is a new passion that I have developed over the past 3 years. I find that card making is the outlet that gives me time to relax but mostly the time to be creative.</p>
<p>From a very young age crafting was my pastime. I am the mother of one handsome teenager and happily married to my high school sweetheart. These are the most two important people in my life and are the focus of most of my layouts. With the love of creativity comes the passion to share with others and I do this whenever I can. Having the opportunity to be on several Design Teams has increased my knowledge of the industry and bettered my skills to help those around me. Knowing that I may have brightened someone’s day with one of my cards, or challenged someone to step outside of their creative crafting zone, or just to journal on a page layout is one of the biggest blessings I could ever receive. I am so honored to be here as a Design Team Member of STAEDTLER. I trust that there might be something that I share that will inspire you. Scrappy Hugs!

<p>I'm April andStay-At-Home Mother and Scrapbook Artist. I live in Arkansas, with my husband, daughter and my two sons.</p>
<p>I have a love for all things crafty, and a passion for designing scrapbook layouts & mixed media art. I love to paint, draw, and distress ... anything where I can get my hands messy!</p>
<p>Documenting my memories in an artful way is extremely important to me and I always strive to inspire others whenever I can. I enjoy teaching others new techniques and I have been fortunate enough to host an annual scrapbooking /art retreat for the last six years on Petit Jean Mountain. I'm addicted to my camera, my scrap tunes, my sewing machine, and all of my art mediums. I am honored to be part of the STAEDTLER Design Team and I look forward to creating and sharing STAEDTLER projects with everyone I can!<br />Visit me at <a href="http://www.ataleintime.com/" target="_blank" lsurl="http://www.ataleintime.com/">www.ataleintime.com</a></p>

<p>I'm Dawn and I have been crafting since I can remember! I love the creative process and I will try the newest thing to hit the market or I will dig up an old trend and try it if it is new to me! Even my job as a hairstylist allows me to be creative and play with style, balance and color.</p>
<p>I have been a hairstylist for 25 years and I can't imagine ever doing anything else! I am a mother or two terrific kids, ages 2 and 7 and I am married to a wonderful and super fun hubby who totally supports my addiction to crafts! When I am not running all over the place with the kids or doing hair, you will find me at my art desk doing something creative! My favorite is stamping and making cards, but I also love to knit and quilt! I have been on many stamp company design teams in the past. I teach at a local Stamp Store and use stamping and creating as a way to maintain my sanity! I am thrilled to be working with STAEDTLER and all of the amazing products that they offer! I cannot wait to create and inspire you with the many wonderful products they offer and hopefully show you something new!</p>

<p>I'm Linda. I am a papercraft artist and a registered nurse practicing as an Assistant Director of Nursing in the state of Virginia. I married my wonderful husband and have two boys. They are my inspiration and have been very supportive and enthusiastic about my hobby as I am. I have a passion for hand-doodling with marker and paint and love to create my own unique embellishments. Creating art has become therapy for me. It brings me happiness and helps me stay positive in life.</p>
<p>I consider my style as happy and full of bright colors. My work has been published in various idea books and magazines including Paper Trends, Somerset Memories, Scrapbook magazine (UK), Memory Makers, Cards, Card Maker, Card Creations, and Scrap & Stamp Magazine. I also design for several other manufacturers. I have been a fan of STAEDTLER since I was in Elementary school and I am absolutely thrilled to be part of STAEDTLER Team. I am very excited to start this wonderful journey and share my creations with you.</p>
