I’m 48 years old and I live with
my wonderful hubby and my dog in Berlin/Germany.At the moment I'm doing a re-training, so I can
later work in my husband's office. In my previous career as an educator, I can
no longer work due to health problems. A long time
ago i came through a friend to craft with stamps and since
I am infected by this wonderful virus. I really
love to craft and it’s a really big part of my live. I love to work with
stamps, papers and different embellishments; this is so relaxing for me.
I like it very much to make Christmas cards or other
Christmas projects and it is a great honor for me to work in this fantastic
team.

Burnham

I am thrilled to be on the CSAYL
Design Team. I love making Christmas cards. I live in a small town in
Central Florida, USA. My husband and I just celebrated our 50th wedding
anniversary in 2013. I have always loved to do crafts of some kind since
I was a young girl. I have been scrapbooking and making cards since 1998
when I attended a scrapbooking/cardmaking class. I really enjoy making cards
for family and friends, and preserving my memories in scrapbooks.
Barb Deichl
USA- Wisconsin
I'm from
Waukesha, Wisconsin. I am retired from
teaching since the fall of 2009 and I was also a high school Athletic Director
along with teaching the last 17 years. I
love to garden—both vegetables and flower—so we built a greenhouse in 2011 to
enjoy our hobby even more!
I remember always stamping the front and back of the Christmas Card Envelopes
with some cute image or a saying and at that time was able to keep ALL of my
stamps and ink pads in a shoebox! My,
how far have I come! I often visited a
local stamp and scrapbook store that a friend owned in the town where I taught
and my card making grew. She also
introduced me to Stampin’ Up and Splitcoast Stampers in 2004—and the rest is
history!
My craft room is now much larger than a shoebox and since I am retired, I am
able to spend much more time creating cards!
I was chosen to be on my first design team 2 years ago and I am excited
and honored to be a part of the Christmas Stampin All Year Long Design Team!
Tracey Fehr
Canada
I live on a small acreage in Manitoba, Canada with my
husband, our two wonderful children, our Norwegian Elkhound, and several cats!
I am a stay at home mom who is kept busy with cooking, cleaning and chauffeuring
our son (8) and daughter (10) around. When I have a moment alone, or need to
relieve some stress, you will find my hiding out in my basement craft room. I
have been card making and scrap booking on and off for about 15 years as time
allows...but card making is my true passion.
I am so excited to be joining up with Christmas Stampin All Year Long, and am
looking forward to sharing my creativity with you and preparing for the
Christmas Season all year long!

Blog: I like Paper- http://ilikepaper01.blogspot.com/
I am a Christian that likes to paper craft. Jesus
is the Lord of my Life. I am married to a wonderful and amazing Christian
husband, Richard. We have 3 children and 7 grandchildren.
I started paper crafting in 2011 and opened a
blog in August of 2012. My blog has taken me on a wonderful adventure in Blog
Land - not only have I been introduced to various crafting supplies and
technique, I have met many very creative crafters from all over the world. In
addition, I have become very close friends with several of my Internet crafting
buddies. My crafting passion is tags and
cards, but I also like to create projects such as mini albums when time
permits.
I feel honored and blessed to be selected to join
the Christmas Stampin All Year Long design team. Thank you for the invite.
I wish above all else, that each of you be in
good health and prosper.

I've been a
card maker for many years. I particularly love stamping and Promarkers
and my style is mostly clean and simple. I work for my local Abbeyfield
Society as an activities coordinator and also teach card making workshops for
Little Claire at weekends. As well as Little Claire, I'm also lucky
enough to design for Pink Gem, Nutcrafters and Card Creations Plus and I'm part
of the team for several challenge blogs. I love making Christmas cards
and am very excited to be joining the team at Christmas Stamping All Year Long.
As we're
welcoming our newest design team members, we thought it'd be a great time to
introduce our returning designers: Fabiola Jaques, Heather Mills, Jenny Stergermaier and Patricia Chalas.
