  • Welcome Taniesa Vlasak to the Kat Scrappiness Design Team

    We are so excited to introduce you to our newest design team member!  Meet Taniesa!

    Taniesa VlasakTaniesa Vlasak – Special Project Coordinator

    Hi! My name is Taniesa Vlasak and I have been papercrafting since I was a little girl. What began as a sticker, stamp, and stationery obsession at just 7 years old grew into a love of scrapbooking, art journaling, cardmaking and other papercrafting fun! There is nothing like playing with new art supplies and I get so excited now as I did back then.

    We have recently moved from California to Washington state and with the wetter weather outside is the perfect excuse for more crafty time inside! I am incredibly blessed to be designing for Kat Scrappiness as well as Honey Bee Stamps! You can visit me on my blog at www.thecraftypickle.com and on Instagram (@Taniesa).

    Meet Kimberly Sisco, Guest Designer for November/December at Kat Scrappiness

    Kim

    Meet Kimberly!

    Hello Everyone! I am Kimberly Sisco and live in  Springfield, MO with my husband, Michael, and our fur babes (8 year old pups) Cooper and Felix.  I work at a local hospital as RN Case Manager.

    For as long as I can remember I have had a desire to create but it was about 8 years ago when I purchased my first electronic die cutting machine,a Cricut Personal, that I developed a passion for paper crafting, especially card making. I have since stepped into the world of stamping.

    I am thrilled to the tips of my toes to be a Guest Designer for Kat Scrappiness and can’t wait to share some paper craftiness with you.

    You can find Kimberly online at the following links:

    Card Challenge Entry

    The only requirement is that you create a new card or craft project of any kind (no backlinking – meaning using cards made previously for other projects) that is encouraging and supportive. It does not have to be related to cancer, it just needs to show your support and encouragement for someone else.

    We can’t wait to see what you create! Good luck everyone!
