I live in the Historic town of Haddonfield NJ. with my Husband and two sons. I am a Paper Junkie, I can't help myself ! My paper obsession started when I was just seven. Thanks to my Crafty Grandmother who taught me how to recycle old Christmas cards into ornaments and anything else we could think of! I love all things Vintage and Shabby. One of my favorite things to do is embellish everything :) That makes Gina's Designs such a great fit for what I do. Deann's Blog
I live in Southeastern Wisconsin. I have been crafting since I can remember. I enjoy counted cross-stitch, scrapbooking, card making, beading, sewing, and just recently have gotten into the altered art/mixed media arena. I have one fur-baby, a cat. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to design for Gina! Mary's Blog
Dianna Bartles - Marketing CoordinatorI'm from the St. Louis, Missouri area but spent summers as a child at the family farm which is 150 miles south of St. Louis. My family includes a husband, 21 yr old daughter, 16 yr old son, 2 adorable Japanese Chins, 1 crazy maltipoo, 1 sweetheart munchkin cat and 1 devil cat (yes she is the devil). I'm a avid reader and it comes through in my projects. My style is eclectic with art deco, steampunk thrown in the mix. I have been scrapbooking for 15 yrs with the last two focused on cards and mixed media. I love trying out new ideas and Gina's Designs Laser Cuts are a perfect blend for my crafts. Dianna's Blog

I am a formally trained artist and fancy-pants graphic designer… but really, that doesn’t matter one pip and you don’t care about such boring things. (I don’t blame you.) I am absolutely passionate about making stuff. Whether it’s upcycling, painting, mixed media, sculpture, or assemblage, I jump in and create with positive, joyful abandon. I create a wide range of items, much of it inspired by make-believe, magic, folklore, fairies, nonsense and nature. My goal as a maker is to meld art and craft, creating well designed accesible art, with enthusiasm and without an ounce of pretention. Hopefully I can encourage others to join in too.

My name is Amy Watson. I was born in Texas and in Texas we just merge our first and middle names to make one name so everyone calls me "Amylove". I was an Army brat and lived all over the place but we have lived in Georgia for the last 18 years. That is the longest I have ever lived in one state. I retired from teaching about 4 years ago and with no longer having a classroom to express my creativity, I quickly began going craft crazy at home! As you will see, I have a Shabby or country chic style and pink is my favorite color. I am excited to be a part of this creative team! Amy's Blog & YouTube Channel

I am a SAHM of two and I love to play with crafts. I started cross stitching as a kid. Then I managed to get into scrapbooking in high school my senior year. I found cards and copics when my daughter turned one in 2010. I am grateful I get to spend a lot of my free time creating fun cards. Recently my tastes have been leaning towards making mini albums. Coloring has always been something I love to do. I also like to dabble with mixed media, but I am completely a novice in this department and I am loving just trying new things. I plan to start smashing and getting into photo journalism, especially having a newborn around and capturing all the funny faces. I am really excited that I get to create my ideas and share them with anyone willing to take a peek. Shanna's Blog
Hi! I'm Debbie Sherman, I'm ecstatic be part of the Gina's Designs Design Team! When I'm not scrap booking, photographer, wife, mother, grandmother of 8, auntie and friend. I have been crafting since I was a little girl. I started out sewing and making jewelry around the age of 7 and have been creating ever since. I still bead and sew but now it's mostly on my paper projects. I love photography and sometimes get that "great shot" that all photographers live for! I am fortunate enough to have a press pass and am able to shoot big events occasionally. The city I live in has a yearly old west celebration called the"Daddy of 'em all" and I'm fortunate enough to attend the big rodeo's, Native Americans and several other events in town. With my press pass I have front row seating for these events which allows for some awesome photos. With all the photos I take it gives me the perfect reason to scrap them! I'll be sharing some of those with all of you! I'm so excited to be part of this wonderful team and hope to inspire and be inspired along the way. Debbie's Blog
Being a generally creative person, I have dabbled in various artistic endeavors over the years: floral design, music, sewing, quilting, writing, art. The sign in my art studio reads: Any Craft Will Do. But, ever since I fell head over heels into the world of rubber stamping I mostly keep busy making cards and doing collage art. A bit of a gypsy soul, I have wandered many places in my life and I take inspiration accumulated from those travels. I live in Snohomish, WA, nestled between the snow-capped peaks of the Cascade mountains and Puget Sound. I am also busy writing my first novel, I've Seen Rain. Barb's Blog
Hi! I'm Lynne Joncas from Ontario Canada, a married mother of a grown son and daughter,and I'm thrilled at the chance to create with these beautiful products and be a part of such a fabulous group of artists! I've been scrapping since 2007, when I offered to create a little photo book for one of the kids' teachers who was retiring....once I got into the paper and embellishment sections at the craft store, the "little" book blossomed into a full 12 x 12 album and I was hooked! Since then I've developed a love for heritage pages, pet layouts (I have several dogs and cats, have bottle-fed abandoned kittens, and once raised and cared for an orphaned baby squirrel) and of course lots of pages about my family...as well as anything else that may catch my eye. Although layouts are my first love, I'm always inspired by the beautiful cards, home decor projects and other papercrafts I see and love to try new techniques, products and ideas, and the goodies in Gina's store never fail to get my creative juices flowing! I also love cake decorating, art journalling, Christmas crafts, and spending lots of time with friends. Lynne's Blog
My name is Barbara Rankin, and I am so thrilled to be working with Gina's Designs. I am a self-taught paper and mixed media artist, with my early beginnings making cards and gifts for family and friends. I picked up my first rubber stamp in 1995, before the internet had so much inspiration to offer up-and-coming artists. I love to learn, and I love to share what I have learned with others. I love adding dimension to my projects, which is why I love chipboard so very much. Just about everything I make has it in some form or fashion. I am currently on four other design teams, Altered Pages, Sin City Stamps, ColourArte, and House of Cards. I have been published in several paper and e-magazines, as well as a contributing artist in a book. I have also been asked to make samples for display at CHA, as well as being a guest designer for Craftwell USA, Unruly Paper Arts, and Gina's Designs. I am also a writer for the Mixed Media Art Article Writer's Team. I call Memphis, Tennessee, my home, which I share with my wonderful husband of 33 years and two adorable Yorkie sisters, all of whom make my life fabulous. Barbara's Blog
