Introducing the New Neat and Tangled Design Team!

Hello friends!

First of all I have to say a huge thank you to everyone that applied for the design team.  The applications poured in, and I truly enjoyed reading over each one, visiting blogs, and seeing all of your amazing projects!  Unfortunately, all of that made it incredibly difficult for me to make a decision. I managed to select 5 girls to join our team beginning in February.  And you will still be seeing the 5 familiar faces of Pamela Ho, Amy Kolling, Chari Moss, Linda Trace, and Yana Smakula.

And now I am excited and honored to introduce our new girls! Be sure to head to their blogs to check them out and say hello!

Joni Andaya

Hi Joni here, I am a stay at home Mom for a moment who loves to create cards for family and friends. I have been creating cards for a long time but did not create my blog until the end of the year 2012. I love to use colors and dimensions on my projects. I love to use different elements that are available that can be incorporated on my projects as well. Most of all I love creating my own backgrounds and I am so very honored & ecstatic to be given an opportunity to create projects for Neat & Tangled using their fabulous stamps designs.

Taheerah Atchia

Hi everyone! I'm Taheerah and I can't tell you how happy and excited I am to be joining the Neat & Tangled family! :-)

I'm a 30-plus-a-few Londoner now living in the North West of England with my beautiful cats. I work in IT by day and craft by night! I love all things geeky - having a background in science and working in my profession I guess that can't be avoided! I've always been creative but stamping and cardmaking have truly captured my heart and my imagination. I love experimenting with most styles and am definitely a huge lover of trends. I really thrive on pushing my skills and creative eye to the limit, so my work is frequently packed with techniques, outside-the-box uses of product, and clever details! I can't wait to put that to use with the fabulous Neat & Tangled goodies!!

Christine Drogt 

Hi, it's Christine from Germany. I have been crafting all my life (I'm 31 now) and started card making in 2010. I have no idea how that happened - but I got totally addicted to stamping. (I bet you know that feeling that you NEED that stamp!). Cardmaking-videos are something I also love a lot, so last year I got a camcorder and started.

I live with my hero Michael and our three cats who all respect my crafty mess.  Lucky me :) I am also lucky to work in a youth centre with a focus on creativity (theatre, photography, arts,..) and enjoy motivating the kids a lot.

On my cards I love to use clean lines, different elements and little details. Maybe I'll start a Project Life soon. I feel totally honored and excited to be joining this team of talented girls - thanks Danielle for having me!

Kristen Foreman

Hi! My name is Kristen Foreman and I love everything crafty.  Originally a Florida native, I currently reside in San Diego, CA with my husband and two fur babies.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my husband and friends, shopping (of course), reading, going to the movies, and tons of outdoor activities. I started paper crafting in November 2012. I went to my first card making class that a friend of mine was hosting. It was love at first site! I've been making cards ever since and I am so excited to join the Neat and Tangled team!! :)

Mayuri (Flubidoo)

Hello, I'm Mayuri (or Flubidoo) and I'm so excited to be part of the Neat and Tangled Design Team for 2014! I'm a Graphic Designer turned Project Manager working in a design agency by day, but becoming an avid crafter by night. My style of card-making ranges from clean and simple through to arty, textural and experimental. I have had a huge passion for all things art and craft from a young age, when my Mum taught me to knit and I made my first scarf! The crafting / blogging community has had a huge influence on my card-making over the last year and there is so much inspiration out there already – I hope I too can be equally inspiring and encourage you all to play along!
