I am currently a SAHM living in Bel Air, Maryland - our home state — after being in Chicago for four years. I live with the love of my life, my son, Kyle. And I should also mention, Tom, our 2-1/2 year old fuzzy furball of a cat. (Full disclosure of a feline friend should be required of TCP team members!) My best guess is that I've been a stamper for about 10 years.

I got the bug after living just down the street from a wonderful store near our first house in Crofton, MD. When we moved to North Carolina I decided that I should scrapbook. I shopped and bought and collected and organized tons of tools, stickers, paper, etc. but I kept going back to my stamps. (I never did start scrapbooking!) When we moved to Illinois that's when my habit really took off. Five years later, we need to have extra insurance to make sure that the craft room is covered in case of emergency. It's not just a hobby, right, it's a way of life!

Hi y'all, it's me, Susan! I'm married to my best friend, Eric and we have three beautiful daughters—Shelbie who is in high school, Lindsie our second grader and Audrie our precocious preschooler. I'm a native Texan and we live northeast of Fort Worth, Texas in a little suburb called Watauga. I've been a stay at home mom for 5 years now, after having been in the retail banking business for 17 years. We have a 10 year old rat terrier named Hopper who we call a "grumpy old man" and he can bare his teeth on command to prove it.

I've always loved all kinds of crafts and remember always drawing, making gifts and learning to sew at the age of 6. So as I got older, I kept sewing all kinds of things, took up painting and then fell in love with scrapbooking in 1994. However, my time these days is mostly consumed with papercrafting; stamping being my favorite, which I've only come to LOVE in the last 6 years or so. I love going to garage sales and thrift stores to find new trash to turn into treasure! I'm addicted to designer paper (and coffee) and can't pass up anything sparkly! I love to play with color and adding a little something unexpected to my projects makes for some fun finishing touches.

I live in the beautiful state of Maine aka Vactionland (at least for 2 months out of the year!) but I grew up in upstate New York. I am a SAHM of 5 young children (ages 8 & under), Emma, Anna, Ethan, Aaron & Owen and am married to a chemist (which means I have no idea what he does!). We live in our dream home - an old New England farmhouse. There are always projects to be done but I wouldn't trade this old house for anything!

I started stamping after my first daughter was born. A good friend helped me design her first birthday invitations and once I made those I was hooked! What started as a small corner card table in my room has grown into half my room and a much bigger workspace!

Not only have I become addicted to stamping (and patterned paper, and bling, and ribbon, and dies, and and and . . .) but I am truly blessed to have met some of the finest people through stamping! Stampers are creative, generous, fun and just wonderful people!! My style tends to gravitate toward clean & simple but I love to try new things and add fun elements. I'm so excited to be working with the swankiest stamps around!

Hi everyone! I live in Maryland, just outside of the nation’s capital. I’m “mom” to a super cute and very high energy goldendoodle, affectionately known as Chloe the cutie puppy. She keeps me on my toes with all of her crazy antics! She’s not too thrilled about sharing me with Sprinkle, but she’ll have to learn to get along.

I work full-time as an early childhood specialist in the central office of a large school district in the DC suburbs, but I mostly identify myself as a kindergarten teacher, which is where I started my teaching career. It really is true that you learn just about everything you need to know in life in kindergarten. The coloring and cutting part has certainly served me well as a stamper!

My best friend introduced me to stamping almost 8 years. Since then it’s been a slow and steady climb to a full addiction. I’m delighted to be joining the Cat Pack and designing alongside this amazing group of designers.

Hi ya’ll! Yes, I am a daughter of the south. Although I’ve travelled and lived temporarily in other places for work purposes, my permanent home is in Alabama. I am married to my husband Don and between us we have three grown children and five grandchildren.

I have been a crafter of some sort practically all my life. I discovered the world of paper crafting in 2002 after looking through my beloved grandmother’s photo box a few weeks after she passed away. I always used stamps in my scrapbooking endeavors but turned primarily to stamping via card making about three years ago when I became interested in alcohol ink markers. My very first TCP purchase was the Whale of a Time set along with the matching Wave CutUps and I’ve been a steady customer ever since. I am exited and honored to be asked to join the fabulous Cat Pack team, especially since I really admire the other designers.

Noelle McAdams is a Christmas Day baby, Colorado "native", wife, mom to 3 boys, and all around artsy chick. When she's not getting inky, you can find her teaching theater to kids, dabbling in home decorating projects, and training for her first mini sprint triathlon. Hanging with girlfriends also is a favorite activity as sometimes she needs a break from all the testosterone in her house! You can check out her blog: paper & ICE.

Hello everyone! I live in beautiful New England with my wonderful husband and our son. We have a furry friend at our house too (our pet Holland Lop rabbit named Lego). During the day, I work as a K-2 Math Specialist at an elementary school, and I am very fortunate to spend my time teaching some of the sweetest children around.

After I get everything and everyone settled at home, I usually have some time in the evening to play in my “Stamping Room” (also known as our former guest bedroom!) My stamping and card making hobby started about seven years ago. Surprisingly, I did not like stamping when I was first introduced to it!! (Insert shocked face here…lol!) I went to a stamping demonstration and we made a scrapbooking page. My first thought was, “I can do the same thing with some stickers. I don’t need to start stamping.” When the page was finished, the demonstrator had the group make a card and I fell head over heels in love! I was hooked that evening and I’ve been stamping ever since.

I am beyond excited to create with Alma’s Swanky Stamps and I am so grateful for the invitation to be a part of the Cat Pack!

Since attending my first stamp show 10 years ago, rubberstamping has become the perfect creative outlet to balance my day job in the techie world. I am all about the instant gratification of a well stamped card and if I could stamp 24/7, I would! Combine rubberstamps with a room full of ribbon and patterned paper and that would be my definition of heaven (well, one corner of it anyways!)

I currently reside with my husband in the Bay Area, CA, where I can often be found holed up in my craft room till the wee hours of the morning (my best time to be creative!) When I'm not aspiring to be a 'professional stamper,' I also enjoy reading, retail therapy, and reality TV. I am so grateful to have the opportunity to be part of the CPJ Design Team and work with Alma's fabulous images!

Once upon a time, I thought money was to pay for things like food. Or clothing. Or shelter. All those things we were taught to believe were the necessities of life. So I took a job in the ad world, where I logged nearly 20 years as a designer and art director, creating work that other people liked, to pay for those things other people said were necessities.

Then I discovered rubber stamping and learned what money was really meant for. To buy more stamps.

So I left the ad world behind to create things that I liked, and I haven't looked back since.
